Projecting Apparatus Non-Mask Image Position and Dimension Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing systems fail to maintain the position and dimension of a non-mask region when changing the position and size of a mask image, leading to unintended changes in the content of the displayed image.
Innovation Solution
A projecting apparatus that includes an image generating section capable of moving or resizing a non-mask image within a mask image, allowing for precise control over the position and dimension of the non-mask region through masking processing, which involves cutting out and recombining the non-mask image with the mask image while maintaining its original content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the position and size of the transmission region of the mask image are changed to change the position and size of the non-mask display image, then the position and size of the non-mask display image can be adjusted, but the content of the non-mask display image changes unintentionally
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the mask image into a transmission region and a non-transmission region, and separately processes the non-mask display image content. By segmenting the image processing into distinct regions and independently handling the non-mask content extraction and recombination, the system allows position and size adjustment of the non-mask display image while preserving its original content integrity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the mask image is shifted or resized to adjust the non-mask display image, then the non-mask display image position and size can be modified, but the original content of the non-mask display image is lost or distorted
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the non-mask display image content from the input image in advance, before any mask image position or size changes are applied. This preliminary extraction and storage of the original content allows subsequent mask adjustments without affecting the non-mask content integrity. The pre-extracted content is then recombined with the adjusted mask image, ensuring content reliability while achieving configuration flexibility.

AI summary
A projecting apparatus includes an image generating section configured to generate a masking-processed image by combining an input image and a mask drawing image including a mask region and a non-mask region and a projecting section configured to project the masking-processed image. The image generating section is at least capable of executing, on a first masking-processed image including a non-mask image corresponding to the non-mask region in a first projecting position, moving masking processing for generating a second masking-processed image obtained by moving the non-mask image from the first projecting position to a second projecting position or capable of executing, on a first masking-processed image including the non-mask image having a first dimension, enlarging or reducing masking processing for generating a second masking-processed image obtained by enlarging or reducing the non-mask image from the first dimension to a second dimension.
