Remanent Imaging Motion Extraction for Robust Device Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current camera imaging systems are unable to process motion from single images effectively without context or reference to other images in the sequence, and they are not robust against factors like sharpness, frame rates, and exposure times, limiting their ability to control devices based on motion information.
Innovation Solution
The method and apparatus for remanent imaging control capture remanent images, extract motion from these images, and control devices by generating parameters and commands based on the extracted motion, allowing for robust motion processing and device control even in unfavorable conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If motion processing requires multiple images in a sequence, then motion data can be extracted, but the system becomes more complex and less robust to variations in sharpness, frame rates, and exposure times
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts motion information directly from a single image by analyzing the remanent image data contained within that one image, eliminating the need to process multiple images in a sequence. This extraction approach maintains motion processing capability while reducing system complexity and improving robustness to variations in imaging parameters such as frame rates and exposure times.
2Adaptability or versatility
If motion information is used to control devices, then device control capability is improved, but the system requires robust motion extraction from single images
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of motion extraction from requiring multiple images to working with single remanent images. By utilizing the temporal integration inherent in remanent imaging, the system achieves sufficient measurement precision for device control applications without requiring complex multi-image processing, thus improving adaptability while maintaining accuracy.
