Image-Based Position and Action Mapping for Field Deterioration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods fail to accurately detect the deterioration of conditions or presence of allergens at specific positions within a predetermined area, such as sports fields or environments with allergens, due to uniform estimation based on the trajectory of movement, making it difficult to target maintenance or allergen detection effectively.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus that generates a degree-of-attention map by analyzing captured images to identify object positions, actions, and evaluate the degree of attention or allergen presence using index values, allowing for precise maintenance planning and allergen detection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If uniform estimation based on trajectory of movement is used, then the estimation process is simple, but the measurement precision of condition deterioration at specific positions is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the predetermined area into multiple regions and further segments each region into multiple positions. Instead of uniform estimation, the system evaluates condition deterioration at each position independently by analyzing object presence and actions, enabling precise location-specific assessment while maintaining manageable complexity through systematic segmentation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by assigning different evaluation values to different positions within the area based on local conditions. Each position receives a customized evaluation based on object presence, actions performed, and environmental factors, rather than applying a uniform estimation across the entire area, thereby achieving high measurement precision for condition deterioration at each specific position.
2Ease of operation
If uniform estimation across the region is used, then the processing method is simple, but the ability to detect positions where allergens are likely to be present is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the area into multiple positions and evaluates allergen presence at each position independently by analyzing object actions and environmental conditions. This segmentation enables precise detection of allergen locations while maintaining operational simplicity through automated position-by-position assessment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes evaluation parameters based on local conditions at each position, including object presence, actions performed, and environmental factors. By dynamically adjusting evaluation parameters for each position rather than using fixed uniform thresholds, the system achieves high precision in detecting allergen presence while maintaining ease of operation through automated parameter adaptation.

AI summary
An information processing obtains a captured image of an area where an object performs an activity, detects a position of the object in the area based on the obtained image, specifies an action of the object based on the obtained image, the action performed by the object at the detected position and deteriorates a state at the detected position, wherein, even after the object becomes no longer present at the position due to the action, the deteriorated state at the detected position is maintained, and outputs information in which a position in the area and an evaluation value are associated with each other and is generated based on the detected position and the specified action, the evaluation value calculated based on an index value corresponding to the specified action. A first index value corresponds to a first action and a second index value to a second, different from the first.
