3D Object Panoramic Image Capture Guidance System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for generating panoramic images of 3D objects, such as those used in online listing platforms, often result in poor quality due to user error, such as shaky hands or incorrect camera orientation, leading to unsatisfactory images that occupy unnecessary storage space.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device configured to provide user feedback on camera positioning by determining the overlap between the 3D object and a visual reference frame, prompting adjustments to ensure the object is centered within the frame, thereby improving the quality of the panoramic view.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users manually capture images for panoramic views without guidance, then the operation is simple and quick, but the image quality and consistency deteriorate due to shaky hands and incorrect camera orientation
Solution Approach 1:
The system displays a visual reference frame showing the captured object's position and provides feedback indicators that guide users to adjust camera orientation, ensuring the object remains centered within predetermined thresholds during panoramic capture
Solution Approach 2:
A visual reference frame acts as an intermediary between the user and the capture process, providing real-time guidance on object positioning and camera orientation without requiring complex manual adjustment mechanisms
2Manufacturing precision
If visual feedback mechanisms are added to guide camera positioning, then image quality improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically processes captured images to generate visual feedback and positioning guidance, eliminating the need for external guidance devices or complex manual calibration procedures
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts visual feedback parameters such as threshold distances and reference frame displays based on the captured object's characteristics, maintaining simplicity while adapting to different scenarios
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple images are captured with strict positioning requirements, then panoramic image quality improves, but the time required for capture increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system displays the visual reference frame and positioning thresholds before capture begins, allowing users to understand positioning requirements in advance and reduce trial-and-error adjustments during actual capture
Solution Approach 2:
The visual feedback system operates continuously throughout the capture process, providing real-time guidance that maintains proper positioning without requiring repeated capture attempts or interruptions
4Measurement precision
If real-time visual feedback is provided during capture, then positioning accuracy improves, but processing energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system processes and displays only the essential visual feedback elements needed for positioning guidance, such as the reference frame and threshold indicators, rather than analyzing and displaying all possible image parameters

AI summary
A method and a system for generating a video of a 3D object are provided. The method comprises: generating a visual reference frame; capturing an image of a surrounding area around the 3D object; in response to detecting within the image at least a portion of the 3D object: generating a bounding box encompassing the at least the portion of the 3D object; determining an overlap parameter between the bounding box and the visual reference frame; comparing the overlap parameter to a plurality of thresholds; in response to the overlap parameter being above a given one of the plurality of thresholds, generating a respective one of a plurality of predetermined indications for adjusting a position of the camera to capture the portion of the 3D object within the visual reference frame, thereby generating an adjusted image thereof used for composing the video of the 3D object.
