Object Tracking via Dynamic Color Modulation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing object tracking systems face challenges in accurately distinguishing objects from their environment when the background color is similar to the object's color, leading to low accuracy and efficiency due to misidentification of false targets.
Innovation Solution
The system configures a first illuminating object to vary in color patterns over time periods, allowing the camera to capture images in different colors, enabling better differentiation between the object and background through adaptive color modulation using LED units and corresponding driving circuits.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the object color is kept static, then the device complexity is low, but the object tracking accuracy deteriorates when background color is similar to object color
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the object color changeable over time through LED units. The color modulation unit dynamically adjusts the color of the object based on captured images and tracking results, transforming a static color object into a dynamic one that can adapt to different background conditions to improve tracking accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent directly applies color changes by using LED units to modify the color of the tracked object. The color modulation unit changes the object's color in response to background conditions, enabling the system to distinguish the object from similar-colored backgrounds and improve measurement precision.
2Measurement precision
If the system removes false targets manually, then the tracking accuracy improves, but the processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies feedback by using the color information captured from the object and background to automatically adjust the color modulation. The system continuously captures images, analyzes color differences, and modifies the object's color accordingly, creating a closed-loop system that automatically eliminates false targets without manual intervention.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by proactively changing the object's color before false target removal becomes necessary. By dynamically adjusting the color in advance based on predicted background conditions, the system prevents misidentification rather than correcting it after occurrence, reducing processing time.

AI summary
An object tracking method includes configuring a color of a first illuminating object to vary in a first pattern, capturing the first illuminating object according to a first color during a first time period, and capturing the first illuminating object according to a second color during a second time period after the first time period, wherein the second color is different from the first color.
