Image Processing Region Segmentation for Object Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing information processing devices primarily focus on regions overlapping and not overlapping with objects in images, leaving a gap in processing methods for a third region obtained from multiple regions, which limits the scope of information processing.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that includes an image acquisition unit, an object detection unit to identify first and second regions, and a processing unit to perform processes based on a third region obtained by excluding the overlap between the first and second regions, enabling detailed analysis and notification related to the second object.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If information processing focuses only on regions overlapping and not overlapping with objects, then the processing method is simple, but the scope of information processing is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the image into multiple distinct regions: first regions (overlapping regions between two objects), second regions (non-overlapping regions), and third regions (remaining regions after excluding overlapping areas). This segmentation enables comprehensive information processing across all region types, expanding the scope of analysis while maintaining structured processing methods.
2Productivity
If the third region is not processed, then the processing complexity is low, but the information processing efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary segmentation to identify and exclude overlapping regions before processing the third region. By pre-defining the boundaries and characteristics of first and second regions, the system prepares the data structure in advance, enabling efficient processing of the remaining third region without redundant computations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different processing strategies to different region types based on their specific characteristics. The third region is processed with specialized attention to extract unique information that is not obtainable from overlapping or non-overlapping regions alone, optimizing information extraction efficiency for each region type.

AI summary
To enable a process in consideration of a third region obtained from a plurality of regions detected from an image. An information processing device includes an image acquisition unit that acquires an image, an object detection unit that detects a first region including a first object and a second region including a second object from the image, and a processing unit that performs a process related to the second object based on a third region obtained by the first region and the second region.
