Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies have not adequately addressed the demosaicing process for partial regions of interest (ROI) segmented from a captured image, which can lead to inefficiencies in data transmission and increased load on the transmission system.
Innovation Solution
A transmitting apparatus and receiving apparatus are designed to perform a demosaicing process on ROI data, with the transmitting apparatus controlling the acquisition and sending of demosaicing information and ROI data as payload and embedded data, and the receiving apparatus extracting and processing this information to demosaic the ROI data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If entire captured image is transmitted, then complete image information is available, but transmission system load increases and may cause shutdowns
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the captured image into multiple regions of interest (ROIs) based on user-specified objects or areas. Instead of transmitting the entire image, only the segmented ROI data is transmitted, reducing the total data volume while maintaining transmission system stability. The region determination unit identifies specific regions, and the transmission device sends only those regions along with their metadata.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts only the necessary region data from the captured image for transmission. The region determination unit identifies and extracts specific ROIs based on user specifications, and the transmission device sends only this extracted data along with region information (position, size, etc.), eliminating the need to transmit the complete image data.
2Power
If partial ROI data is transmitted, then transmission load is reduced, but demosaicing process becomes complex for segmented regions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by determining regions and acquiring demosaicing information before transmission. The region determination unit identifies ROIs and the demosaicing information acquisition unit gathers necessary demosaicing parameters in advance. This preliminary processing simplifies the transmission by pre-organizing data structures and reduces complexity during the actual transmission and reception phases.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces demosaicing information as an intermediary element that bridges the ROI data and the final demosaicing process. This intermediary contains necessary information (such as color filter array patterns, region coordinates, and processing parameters) that enables the receiving device to properly demosaic the segmented ROI data without requiring complex real-time processing.
3Productivity
If demosaicing is performed on segmented ROI, then image processing efficiency improves, but existing technologies lack adequate support for this process
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal framework that can handle various ROI segmentation scenarios and demosaicing requirements within a single system architecture. The region determination unit can identify different types of ROIs based on user specifications, and the transmission/reception system can accommodate various data formats and processing requirements, making the system adaptable to different applications while maintaining high processing efficiency.
