Photographed Object Sizing for Accurate Drawn-Image Printing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods struggle to accurately adjust the size of a drawn image to match the size of an atypical object, leading to inefficiencies and excess costs in printing processes, particularly in activities like creating fan decorations where precise sizing is required.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that allows users to generate and adjust the size of a drawn image on a canvas, incorporating a photographed image of the object, enabling precise sizing adjustments through user interaction and automatic or manual length measurement, followed by generating and transmitting print data to a printing apparatus.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If the drawn image is printed according to the default canvas size, then the printing process is simple and fast, but the size of the drawn image does not match the size of the atypical object
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by acquiring a photographed image of the object, detecting its size, and automatically adjusting the canvas size to match the object before printing. This preliminary sizing adjustment eliminates the need for manual size checking and reprinting, thereby resolving the contradiction between printing simplicity and size matching accuracy.
2Manufacturing precision
If the user manually adjusts the drawn image size by using the image formation application, then the size can be adapted to the object, but the user must perform repeated printing and size checking
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces the manual mechanical process of printing, measuring, and adjusting with an automated image processing system. The photographed image of the object is used to automatically detect dimensions and adjust the canvas size, eliminating the need for manual size checking and repeated printing, thereby resolving the contradiction between size matching accuracy and time consumption.
3Productivity
If the drawn image size is not matched to the object size, then the printing process is efficient, but expensive recording sheets are wasted
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary size detection and canvas adjustment before printing, ensuring that the drawn image is correctly sized to match the object. This prevents printing errors that would require reprinting and causes recording sheet waste, thereby resolving the contradiction between printing efficiency and material waste.

AI summary
A storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method capable of adjusting a size of a drawn image to a size of an object. A drawn image is generated on a canvas according to a user operation. A photographed image of an object is acquired. The photograph image is displayed of which the size is changed according to a length concerning an object in the photographed image and a size of the canvas, together with the drawn image. The size of the drawn image displayed together with the photographed image of which the size is changed according to a user operation is adjusted. Print data is generated which at least includes data concerning the drawn image of which the size has been adjusted. The generated print data is transmitted to the printing apparatus.
