Imaging Device Pupil Detection Frames for Human and Animal Focus
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing imaging devices struggle to easily focus on the pupil area of animals, as they are designed primarily for human pupils and lack effective detection methods for animal pupils.
Innovation Solution
The imaging device incorporates specific detection modes for human and animal pupils, displaying preliminary-notice frames to guide users in focusing on the detected pupil areas, allowing for easy selection and focusing on either a human or animal subject.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the imaging device uses a detection mode designed for human pupils, then it can effectively detect human pupil areas, but it fails to detect animal pupil areas
Solution Approach 1:
The detection mode is segmented into multiple specialized modes: human pupil detection mode and animal pupil detection mode. Each mode is optimized for its specific target type, allowing the system to achieve high detection accuracy for the selected subject type while maintaining versatility through mode switching.
Solution Approach 2:
The imaging device dynamically switches between different detection modes based on the subject type. The control unit changes the detection algorithm and parameters according to whether the subject is human or animal, enabling adaptive optimization of pupil detection for different biological structures.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the imaging device provides multiple detection modes for different subject types, then it enhances versatility, but it increases device complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit serves multiple functions by integrating both human pupil detection and animal pupil detection capabilities within a single component. This multi-functional design allows the device to handle different subject types without requiring separate dedicated systems for each detection mode.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary identification of the subject type before executing the pupil detection algorithm. By pre-determining whether the subject is human or animal, the control unit can select the appropriate detection mode in advance, streamlining the overall process and reducing operational complexity.
3Ease of operation
If the imaging device automatically detects pupil areas without visual cues, then it simplifies operation, but it reduces measurement precision
Solution Approach 1:
The display unit provides visual feedback by showing the detected pupil area position and boundaries to the user. This feedback mechanism allows users to verify the detection accuracy and make manual adjustments if needed, combining automatic detection with user confirmation to ensure both ease of operation and measurement precision.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary detection and displays the results before finalizing the focus setting. This preliminary action allows users to review the detected pupil area and confirm its accuracy, ensuring that the subsequent focusing operation is based on correct detection data.
