Sample Image Display Layout for Fast AI Image Review
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In image analysis using artificial intelligence, it is difficult to grasp the state of an object of interest when a large number of sample images are displayed due to the complexity of processing multiple images simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A sample image display system that displays multiple images of a sample along with symbols, where each symbol is rendered in a different mode based on information related to the corresponding image, such as color, brightness, size, position, or transmittance, to facilitate easier understanding of the overall sample state.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a large number of sample images are displayed to process more samples, then productivity is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates because it becomes difficult to grasp the state of objects of interest at a glance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the display into multiple regions: a thumbnail image display region showing multiple reduced-size sample images, and a detailed image display region showing one enlarged image. This segmentation allows simultaneous viewing of many samples and detailed inspection of individual samples, resolving the contradiction between processing large numbers of images and maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a spatial dimension to the display by arranging thumbnails in a grid layout and providing navigation controls that move the detailed view across different samples. This dimensional approach allows users to navigate through many images systematically without overwhelming the display, maintaining both high productivity and ease of operation.
2Productivity
If multiple images are displayed simultaneously to increase throughput, then productivity is improved, but device complexity increases due to the need for multiple display regions and navigation controls
Solution Approach 1:
The detailed image display region serves multiple functions: it displays the current sample image, shows navigation controls for switching between samples, and provides contextual information about the selected thumbnail. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated controls and regions, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining high productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines the navigation controls directly within the detailed image display region rather than separating them into a control panel. This merging of navigation functions with the display area reduces the number of separate components and simplifies the user interface, achieving high throughput without proportionally increasing device complexity.
