Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional infrared thermal imaging devices display images in monochrome and require multiple sets of image data for pseudo-color effects, leading to high calculation loads and inability to select suitable pseudo-color effects for real-time scenarios.

Innovation Solution

A pseudo-color implementation method that displays real-time image data in thumbnail windows with coordinate mapping and pseudo-color palette attributes, allowing users to select suitable effects directly and reducing calculation by sharing image data across windows.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple sets of image data are used for pseudo-color effects, then pseudo-color presentation is enriched, but calculation amount increases excessively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepseudo-color presentationVSAvoidcalculation amount
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple pseudo-color effect presentations into a single image data processing pipeline. By using coordinate mapping relationships, the system maps different regions of one image to multiple thumbnail windows displaying different pseudo-color effects, eliminating the need to process multiple separate image datasets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

A single image data set serves multiple functions by being mapped to multiple thumbnail windows that display different pseudo-color effects. The coordinate mapping system allows one image to fulfill the role of multiple independent image datasets, each showing different color palettes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If preset pseudo-color effect pictures are displayed for selection, then users can choose from multiple effects, but users cannot determine which effect is suitable for current image

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepseudo-color effect selectionVSAvoidvisual accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates visual copies of the current image processed with different pseudo-color palettes in thumbnail windows. These copies allow users to preview how different color effects will look on the actual current image, not just generic placeholder images.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary pseudo-color processing on the current image to generate thumbnail previews before user selection. This allows users to see the actual effect on their specific image data in advance, enabling informed selection decisions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If multiple pseudo-color effect pictures are processed independently, then each effect is displayed accurately, but data duplication increases calculation load

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffect display accuracyVSAvoidimage data
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple effect presentations into a single source image data set. By establishing coordinate mapping relationships, the system allows one image to be virtually replicated across multiple thumbnail windows with different color palettes, eliminating the need to store and process multiple separate image datasets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
