Imaging Device Video Comparison for Recorder Setting Mismatches
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing imaging devices struggle to visually distinguish differences in setting conditions between the imaging device and an external recorder, leading to potential mismatches in video image quality settings that can result in incorrect display of captured images.
Innovation Solution
An imaging device with a processor that generates first and second video image data based on different setting conditions and combines or alternates these to create third video image data, which is then output to an external device for easy visual discrimination of setting differences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If video image data is displayed without showing setting condition differences, then the display is simple and straightforward, but users cannot easily identify mismatches in image quality settings between the imaging device and external recorder
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the video image data into multiple types (first video image data based on imaging device settings, second video image data based on external recorder settings, and third video image data showing differences). This segmentation allows the system to present different aspects of setting conditions separately, making it easier for users to identify mismatches without overwhelming complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses color changes to visually represent setting condition differences. The processor generates video image data with different color representations to indicate matched and unmatched setting conditions, allowing users to quickly identify mismatches through visual color cues rather than analyzing complex technical parameters.
2Measurement precision
If the system generates and displays detailed comparison data showing all setting condition differences, then users can accurately identify mismatches, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by generating first and second video image data based on predetermined setting conditions before final display. The processor proactively compares settings and prepares difference indication data in advance, so that when video images are displayed, the mismatch information is already prepared and can be shown immediately without delaying the main imaging workflow.
3Ease of operation
If the imaging device processes and displays setting condition differences, then users can correct mismatches effectively, but the imaging device's operational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback by displaying third video image data that shows setting condition differences between the imaging device and external recorder. This visual feedback allows users to immediately see which settings match and which don't, enabling them to make informed adjustments. The system continuously monitors and displays setting status, creating a closed-loop feedback mechanism that simplifies operation despite the added processing functions.

AI summary
One embodiment according to the technology of the present disclosure provides an imaging device, an imaging method, and a program that allow a user to easily visually discriminate a difference between setting conditions by displaying video image data indicating the difference. An imaging device (1) is an imaging device 1 including a connection unit (109) that is connectable to an external device (3), and a processor (107). The processor (107) performs processing of generating first video image data from captured video image data on the basis of a first setting condition, processing of generating second video image data from the captured video image data on the basis of a second setting condition, processing of generating third video image data indicating a difference between the first setting condition and the second setting condition on the basis of the first video image data and the second video image data, and processing of outputting the third video image data to the external device (3) via the connection unit.
