Image Capture With Regional Exposure And Signal Correction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image capturing devices fail to consider and adjust image capture conditions for different regions of the screen, leading to suboptimal processing of captured image data.
Innovation Solution
An image capturing device with separate image capturing regions that allow for setting different image capture conditions, incorporating correction and generation units to process and interpolate signals from these regions to generate improved images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If different image capture conditions are set for different regions, then image quality for specific regions is improved, but image processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging element is divided into multiple regions (first image capturing region and second image capturing region) with different image capture conditions. This segmentation allows each region to be processed according to its specific requirements while maintaining overall system functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
Different image capture conditions are applied to different regions of the imaging element. The first region uses one set of conditions while the second region uses different conditions, allowing each region to optimize image quality according to its specific capturing requirements.
2Quantity of substance
If signals from regions with different capture conditions are processed together, then complete image data is obtained, but noise and interference increase
Solution Approach 1:
A correction unit is introduced as an intermediary component that processes signals from regions with different capture conditions. This correction unit adjusts and equalizes the signals before they are combined, removing noise and interference while preserving complete image data.

AI summary
An image capturing device includes: an image capturing element having a first image capturing region that captures an image of a photographic subject and outputs a first signal, and a second image capturing region that captures an image of the photographic subject and outputs a second signal; a setting unit that sets an image capture condition for the first image capturing region to an image capture condition that is different from an image capture condition for the second image capturing region; a correction unit that performs correction upon the second signal, for employment in interpolation of the first signal; and a generation unit that generates an image of the photographic subject that has been captured by the first image capturing region by employing a signal generated by interpolating the first signal according to the second signal as corrected by the correction unit.
