Solution Overview

Problem

Existing imaging technologies fail to generate image data sets that can be viewed comfortably by users when the standards of the two pieces of image data, such as image format or characteristics, are different.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus and imaging apparatus that generate third image data by matching or changing the standards of first and second image data to create a set of image data that can be viewed without discomfort, through processes like duplicating still images, combining them as videos, adjusting aspect ratios, bit rates, and frame rates, and maintaining image orientations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If image data with different standards (format, characteristics) are combined, then the versatility and adaptability of the imaging system is improved, but the user comfort and viewing quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveability to combine different image dataVSAvoiduser comfort in viewing

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by automatically adjusting one or more parameters (such as resolution, aspect ratio, color space, or file format) of the image data with the different standard to match the reference image data. This transformation ensures that combined images maintain visual consistency and user comfort while preserving the ability to process diverse image inputs.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If image data are combined without standard matching, then the processing speed and productivity are improved, but the manufacturing precision and quality of the output deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveimage data processing speedVSAvoidimage data quality consistency

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by performing parameter matching and standardization on image data before the actual combination process. The determining unit identifies the reference image data in advance, and the transforming unit pre-adjusts the parameters of other image data to match the reference, ensuring quality consistency is established before images are combined, thus maintaining both efficiency and precision.

AI summary

An object of the present invention is to provide an information processing apparatus and an imaging apparatus that generate a set of image data as an image that can be viewed by a user without a sense of discomfort in any case where the standards of the two pieces of first image data and second image data are the same or different. A paired image data generation unit generates paired image data of a paired image which is a set of image data from at least first image data of a first image and second image data of a second image. A paired image standard generation unit generates a paired image standard of a paired image data based on a first standard of the first image data and a second standard of the second image data.
