Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for producing virtual panoramic content are costly, time-consuming, and require specialized expertise, as well as the ability to access all locations, which limits their applicability.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that enables users to generate panoramic image content using a user device and a panoramic image server, which processes image data and tag information to calculate object locations and display relevant information, allowing for the creation of panoramic images without the need for extensive expertise or access to all locations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If separate shooting personnel with 360° imaging devices and vehicles are used to capture regional images, then comprehensive panoramic content can be produced, but enormous cost and time are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses pre-stored tag data from previous panoramic images as templates to automatically generate tag data for new panoramic images. Instead of manually creating all tag data from scratch, the system copies and adapts existing tag information, dramatically reducing the time required for panoramic content production while maintaining comprehensive coverage
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-storing tag data and object information from previously captured panoramic images. This pre-processing allows future panoramic images to be quickly annotated by reusing existing tag data, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual tagging of every new image
2Measurement precision
If separate shooting personnel with vehicles are used to capture regional images, then comprehensive panoramic content can be produced, but enormous cost is required
Solution Approach 1:
The system copies existing tag data and object information from pre-stored panoramic images to new images, eliminating the need for repeated expensive field surveys and manual annotation work. This reuse of data significantly reduces production costs while maintaining comprehensive content coverage
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing automatic generation of tag data through algorithmic processing of pre-stored data and new image inputs. This automation eliminates the need for expensive specialized personnel and manual image editing services
3Measurement precision
If separate shooting personnel are used to capture regional images, then panoramic content can be produced, but specialized expertise is required
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically generating tag data and object information through algorithmic processing. The server autonomously matches new panoramic images with pre-stored tag data, calculates object locations, and generates unified tag data without requiring manual intervention from image editing experts
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical process of manual image editing and expert analysis with automated computational algorithms. The server uses image processing and data matching algorithms to automatically generate comprehensive tag data, substituting human expertise with automated mechanical processing
4Area of stationary object
If vehicles are used to access shooting locations, then regional images can be captured, but places that the vehicle is unable to enter cannot be accessed
Solution Approach 1:
The system achieves universality by processing panoramic images from diverse sources including fixed cameras, portable devices, and aerial platforms. The server can handle and integrate tag data from various imaging locations and methods, making the system adaptable to both accessible and inaccessible locations without requiring physical vehicle access
