Radar Chart Color Status Visualization in Camera Displays
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
It is difficult for existing photographic apparatuses to visually recognize the color status, particularly saturation and hue, corresponding to the setting status of the image-processing operation, making it hard for users to understand the tone of the image after image-processing.
Innovation Solution
A photographic apparatus comprising an imaging sensor, an image-processing unit, and a display unit that shows a setting-status indication area and a color status indication area using a radar chart, where the radar chart represents hue and saturation changes, allowing users to visually recognize the color status through the shape, size, and inclination of the chart.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If an image is displayed after image-processing operation corresponding to setting status, then the image-processing result can be shown, but it is not easy to recognize the color status (saturation and hue) corresponding to the preset values
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a diagrammatic representation (radar chart) that copies and visualizes the color status data in a form that is easily recognizable. Instead of showing only the processed image, it generates a visual copy of the saturation and hue parameters through geometric shapes, allowing users to immediately grasp the color status without interpreting the processed image alone.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses color-coded regions and visual elements in the diagrammatic representation to indicate different color statuses. The display unit presents color information through visual changes in the radar chart, making it easy to recognize saturation and hue settings at a glance.
2Loss of information
If only preset values of saturation, hue, sharpness, contrast are shown, then the settings can be displayed, but it is difficult to imagine the tone of the image corresponding to the setting status
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms one-dimensional parameter values (saturation, hue, sharpness, contrast) into a two-dimensional diagrammatic representation with multiple geometric shapes. This dimensional transformation allows users to visualize the relationships between different parameters and imagine the resulting image tone more effectively.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent divides the diagrammatic representation into multiple regions, each corresponding to different color components or parameter settings. By segmenting the visual display into distinct areas that represent different aspects of image tone, users can better understand and imagine the overall image characteristics.

AI summary
A photographic apparatus comprises an imaging sensor, an image-processing unit, and a display unit. The imaging sensor obtains image data. The image-processing unit performs an image-processing operation on the image data. The display unit displays an image-processing setting picture having a setting-status indication area that shows a setting status of the image-processing operation, and having a color status indication area that displays a diagrammatic representation of a color status in the image-processing operation corresponding to the setting status. The setting-status indication area shows hue in the image-processing operation, as the setting status. The color status indication area has a figure that shows saturations of a plurality of color components in the image-processing operation in order to display the diagrammatic representation of the color status. The figure is rotated according to said hue. A shape of the figure and a size of the figure change in accordance with the saturations.
