Mobile Object Search Imaging Device Selection for Lower Processing Load
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in efficiently managing the processing load and power consumption of multiple imaging devices when searching for objects, leading to potential detection failures and increased search time, particularly in systems with numerous in-vehicle cameras.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that obtains location information from multiple imaging devices and decides which devices to use for object search based on their locations, optimizing the distribution of imaging devices to reduce overall processing load and power consumption.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If all imaging devices search for objects simultaneously, then detection coverage is improved, but processing load and power consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the object search task by dividing the search area into multiple regions and assigning different imaging devices to search for objects in different regions based on their location information. This segmentation allows the system to maintain comprehensive detection coverage while reducing the processing load and power consumption of each individual imaging device by limiting their search scope to specific regions rather than requiring all devices to search entire areas simultaneously.
2Measurement precision
If multiple imaging devices search for the same object, then detection accuracy is improved, but processing load increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by having different imaging devices focus on different search regions rather than all devices searching the same area. Each imaging device processes images from its assigned region, which reduces the overall processing load while maintaining detection accuracy through distributed coverage. The location information of each imaging device is used to determine its optimal search region, creating a localized search strategy that balances accuracy and processing requirements.
3Area of stationary object
If imaging devices are distributed across large areas, then search coverage is improved, but coordination complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an information processing device as an intermediary that receives location information from multiple imaging devices and determines appropriate search regions for each device. This intermediary coordinates the distributed imaging devices by assigning them specific regions based on their locations, thereby managing the complexity of coordinating devices across large areas. The information processing device acts as a central coordinator that simplifies the coordination task by automatically allocating search regions rather than requiring direct peer-to-peer coordination between all imaging devices.

AI summary
An information processing device includes a location information obtaining unit that, from each of a plurality of imaging devices which is used in a mobile object and which searches for an object, obtains location information indicating the current location of the imaging device; and a deciding unit that, based on the location information of each of the plurality of imaging devices, decides on the imaging device to be used in searching for the object.
