Live View Region Guidance for Layout-Aware Image Composition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing systems struggle to ensure that subjects in captured images are positioned optimally within a selected layout, leading to suboptimal display and composition.
Innovation Solution
An image processing device that displays a live view image with a recommended region, acquires captured images larger than this region, and adjusts their size and shape to fit within a layout frame, ensuring the subject is centrally positioned.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If captured images are acquired with outer edges larger than the recommended region, then the subject can be fully captured, but the subject may not be optimally positioned within the layout frame
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary positioning by displaying a recommended region overlay on the live view image before capture, guiding the user to compose the shot so the subject appears in the optimal position. This preliminary action ensures that when the full-resolution image is captured, the subject is already positioned correctly for subsequent layout insertion.
Solution Approach 2:
The recommended region acts as an intermediary between the full captured image and the final layout frame. By highlighting the optimal positioning area during capture, it mediates the transition from arbitrary full-frame capture to precisely positioned subject placement in the layout.
2Manufacturing precision
If the captured image size is adjusted to fit the layout frame, then the subject positioning is optimized, but image quality may be degraded through trimming or resizing
Solution Approach 1:
The recommended region is displayed and positioned before the capture operation, establishing the optimal subject positioning in advance. This preliminary guidance ensures that the subject is correctly positioned in the captured image, reducing or eliminating the need for subsequent trimming or aggressive resizing that would degrade image quality.
3Productivity
If automatic image adjustment is performed to fit the layout, then processing speed is improved, but control over the adjustment process is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic image adjustment by itself based on the pre-displayed recommended region information. The processor automatically determines the appropriate trimming and resizing operations needed to fit the captured image into the layout frame, eliminating the need for manual user intervention in the adjustment process.

AI summary
An image processing device includes a processor. The processor is configured to display a live view image on a screen. The processor is configured to display, in the live view image, a recommended region indicating a recommended position in the live view image. The processor is configured to acquire a plurality of captured images each having an outer edge larger than an outer edge of the recommended region in a state where the recommended region is displayed in the live view image. The processor is configured to output a plurality of adjusted images based on the plurality of captured images in a selected layout.
