Quick View Image Generator for Fast Region Display
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Image processing apparatuses take a long time to display high-quality images, and users must perform additional zoom operations to view specific regions of interest, which is inefficient.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus that generates quick view images based on user profiles, determining which regions of captured images to display quickly, allowing users to view regions of interest without additional zooming operations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If high-quality images with large size are stored, then image quality is improved, but display time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the large high-quality image into multiple small image blocks. Instead of displaying the entire large image at once, the system segments it into manageable portions that can be quickly rendered and displayed, thereby reducing overall display time while maintaining image quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary processing by pre-dividing and preparing image blocks before display. The image is segmented into blocks and stored in advance, allowing the display system to quickly retrieve and show only the necessary blocks without processing the entire large image in real-time, thus reducing display time.
2Measurement precision
If user performs zoom operations to check regions of interest, then viewing precision is improved, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent automatically segments the large image into multiple small image blocks corresponding to different regions of interest. Instead of requiring users to manually zoom and navigate, the system divides the image into logical blocks that can be independently viewed, simplifying the user's interaction while maintaining precise viewing capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs automatic image block division and presentation without requiring user intervention. The apparatus autonomously identifies regions of interest, divides the image accordingly, and presents the blocks to the user, eliminating the need for manual zoom operations and reducing operational complexity.
3Loss of information
If all high-quality images are displayed, then completeness of information is improved, but productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complete large image into multiple small image blocks that can be displayed independently and concurrently. This allows the system to maintain completeness of information by preserving all image data while improving productivity through parallel processing and selective display of blocks, rather than sequentially rendering the entire image.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial display by showing only necessary image blocks to the user at any given time, rather than requiring display of the entire large image. This partial action approach maintains information completeness in the stored data while significantly improving display efficiency by rendering only the relevant portions needed for current viewing requirements.
