Shooting Device Image Balance Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing shooting assist systems fail to ensure balanced and impartial image capture of individuals in a group, as they either rely on communication devices that are not always available or do not account for uneven image distribution among subjects, leading to imbalanced proportions in image acquisition.
Innovation Solution
A method that involves producing identification data for subjects, recognizing and matching images to tally the number and proportion of images captured, and providing shooting assistance to achieve a balanced distribution by automatically adjusting shooting conditions when necessary, using a computer program and device with units for identification, matching, tallying, and shooting tendency judgment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If communication devices and communication lines are used for image judgment, then image analysis can be performed, but the system cannot be used in locations where communication devices cannot be used and judgment time increases due to communication delays
Solution Approach 1:
The shooting device performs image judgment processing autonomously using its own image judgment unit, eliminating dependence on external communication devices and communication lines. The device independently analyzes acquired images to determine whether shooting objectives have been met, ensuring availability in any location and avoiding communication delays.
Solution Approach 2:
The image judgment function is extracted from external communication devices and integrated directly into the shooting device. This extraction eliminates the need for communication infrastructure and reduces judgment time by performing analysis locally within the shooting device itself.
2Manufacturing precision
If manual checking of participant lists is performed, then balanced shooting can be achieved, but the operation becomes complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically provides feedback to the operator by displaying the number of acquired images for each person and comparing it against predetermined standards. The image judgment unit continuously monitors shooting progress and notifies the operator when balance criteria are not met, enabling automatic balanced shooting without manual counting or complex operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical process of checking participant lists and counting images is replaced with an automated image recognition and analysis system. The shooting device automatically identifies persons in images, counts acquired images per person, and judges whether balance standards are met, eliminating manual intervention while maintaining precision.
3Reliability
If shooting assist systems use predetermined schedules and location information, then specific sites can be ensured to be shot, but the system cannot ensure that all persons in a group are shot with balanced proportions
Solution Approach 1:
The image judgment unit is designed with universal functionality that can handle multiple shooting scenarios. It can judge both whether specific locations have been captured (using location information) and whether all persons in a group have been shot with balanced proportions (using person identification and image counting). This multi-functionality allows the same system to adapt to different shooting objectives without requiring separate specialized systems.
Data Source
AI summary
The method includes producing first identification data used as reference; performing subject recognition on acquired images of subjects to obtain recognition images, producing second identification data, and matching the first identification data with the second identification data; tallying the acquired images based on matching results for each subject and by shooting tendency factor; judging whether a number of the acquired images or a proportion of the number of the acquired images of the subjects in respect of each of the shooting tendency factors is within a given range from tally results of the acquired images; and providing shooting assist so that the number of the acquired images or the proportion of the number of the acquired images in respect of the shooting tendency factor judged to be outside the given range is placed within the given range.
