Image Processing Apparatus Selective Region Transmission
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing systems face challenges in efficiently transmitting data from multiple cameras capturing a scene, leading to data loss and deterioration in three-dimensional accuracy and image quality due to excessive data processing and transmission limitations, as all data is uniformly discarded without considering importance.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus that generates and transmits region information indicating the priority of foreground regions based on coordinates, size, and aspect ratio, allowing selective data transmission to prioritize important data and prevent data loss.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all foreground region data is transmitted without selection, then complete data is available for processing, but transmission capability and processing capability are exceeded causing data loss
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the foreground region data into multiple rectangular regions based on object positions and characteristics. Instead of transmitting all data uniformly, the system divides and prioritizes different regions, allowing selective transmission of critical data portions that fit within transmission capability limits.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different transmission priorities to different regions based on their importance. Critical regions containing essential objects or information are transmitted with higher priority, while less important regions are transmitted with lower priority or discarded, optimizing the use of limited transmission capability.
2Speed
If data is uniformly discarded when transmission delay occurs, then transmission delay is reduced, but three-dimensional accuracy and image quality deteriorate due to loss of important data
Solution Approach 1:
The patent assigns different priorities to different data regions based on their importance for three-dimensional reconstruction. When transmission delay occurs, the system selectively discards low-priority regions while preserving high-priority regions containing critical objects, thereby maintaining three-dimensional accuracy despite reduced transmission speed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses region information including object coordinates, sizes, and aspect ratios to determine transmission priority. This feedback mechanism allows the system to adaptively select which data to transmit or discard based on the current scene requirements, preserving essential information for accurate three-dimensional reconstruction.
3Loss of information
If region information processing is added to prioritize data transmission, then important data is preserved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs region information generation and priority determination in advance of actual data transmission. By pre-processing the image data to identify and tag important regions with metadata (coordinates, sizes, aspect ratios), the system simplifies subsequent transmission decisions without adding complexity during the critical transmission phase.

AI summary
An image processing apparatus generates, based on an input image, region information indicating a region including an object, determines, based on the region information, a region including an object to be transmitted, and transmits, based on the region information indicating the determined region, an image of the object and region information indicating the determined region.
