Material Component Image Re-Categorization with Dual-List Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for categorizing material component images obtained by image capture using a flow method are prone to incorrect re-categorization due to lack of appropriate display for re-categorization processing, leading to potential errors in classification.
Innovation Solution
A system and non-transitory storage medium that includes a control section to manage image capture and categorization, with a display control section that facilitates manual re-categorization by displaying material component images in a structured manner, allowing for easy switching between categories and providing visual cues to reduce errors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If automatic categorization is used for material component images, then processing efficiency is improved, but categorization accuracy deteriorates due to potential misclassification
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the categorization process into two distinct phases: automatic categorization for initial classification and manual re-categorization for correction. The display control section divides the screen into multiple regions showing different category lists, allowing operators to efficiently review and correct classifications without processing all images manually.
Solution Approach 2:
The display control section provides visual feedback by showing the current category list and allowing operators to drag and drop images between categories. The system immediately updates the category assignments based on operator actions, providing real-time feedback that confirms correct re-categorization and allows for immediate correction of misclassifications.
2Measurement precision
If manual re-categorization is allowed, then categorization accuracy is improved, but operation complexity increases due to lack of appropriate display interface
Solution Approach 1:
The display control section enables operators to perform re-categorization directly through intuitive drag-and-drop operations on the displayed interface. The system provides all necessary tools and information within the display itself, including category lists, image thumbnails, and visual feedback, allowing operators to complete re-categorization without external assistance or complex procedures.
3Measurement precision
If all material component images are displayed for review, then categorization accuracy is improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The display control section segments the review process by displaying images in groups according to their current category assignments. The screen is divided into multiple regions, each showing a list of images belonging to a specific category, allowing operators to systematically review and correct classifications category by category rather than examining all images individually.
Solution Approach 2:
The system allows operators to perform partial re-categorization by selecting only the images that require correction rather than requiring review of all material component images. Operators can efficiently skip correctly classified images and focus their attention only on images that need re-categorization, reducing overall review time while maintaining accuracy.

AI summary
An information processing device includes a categorizing section and a display control section. The categorizing section extracts a material component image identified as a material component from plural images obtained by imaging a sample fluid containing plural types of material element, and categorizes the extracted material component image serving as a detected component by predetermined category. The display control section performs control to re-categorize a material component image serving as the detected component already categorized into a different category, such that, when selection of a movement destination category is received in a state in which a first image list of detected components is being displayed , in a subsequent state in which the first image list and a second image list for the movement destination are being displayed at the same time, a material component image selected from the first image list is moved to the second image list.
