Dynamic Street View Image Region Superimposition
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Street view images are static and cannot be updated, leading to obsolete information that may not reflect the current situation, as they are collected at a specific moment and cannot be modified separately until the entire streetscape is updated.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for determining a to-be-superimposed area in an image, superimposing images, and presenting updated pictures by using image processing servers to identify and update specific areas in street view images based on predetermined rules and user requests, allowing for dynamic updating of image information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If street view images are collected as static information at a certain moment, then the complete streetscape can be captured, but the information becomes obsolete and cannot be updated separately
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the street view image into multiple candidate superimposed areas and allows separate updating of each area. This segmentation enables partial updates without requiring complete streetscape re-capture, thus maintaining information freshness while preserving the reliability of updated portions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transforms the static street view image into a dynamic structure where specific areas can be updated independently over time. By allowing dynamic superimposition of new images on candidate areas, the system maintains both the completeness of the original streetscape and the freshness of updated information.
2Reliability
If the entire streetscape is updated to ensure current information, then information accuracy is improved, but the complexity and cost of updates increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by allowing different parts of the street view image to have different update states. Candidate superimposed areas can be updated independently based on local needs, rather than requiring uniform updates across the entire streetscape. This reduces update complexity while maintaining accuracy where needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements partial action by updating only the necessary candidate superimposed areas rather than the entire streetscape. This selective updating approach reduces the complexity and resource requirements of the update system while ensuring information accuracy in the areas that matter most.
3Ease of operation
If static street view images are used, then the system is simple to operate, but the information cannot reflect current practical situations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the system to automatically identify candidate superimposed areas and manage updates without requiring complex user intervention. The automatic identification and matching processes maintain system simplicity while enabling dynamic information updates that reflect current situations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-identifying candidate superimposed areas in the original street view image. This preparation allows for easy and quick updates later, maintaining operational simplicity while enabling accurate information updates when needed.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for determining a to-be-superimposed area of an image, superimposing an image and presenting a picture. The method for determining a to-be-superimposed area of an image in a scene picture comprises: acquiring a scene picture; determining a to-be-superimposed area in the scene picture; receiving a to-be-superimposed image based on a update request from a user, the update request including identity information of the to-be-superimposed image; and determining the to-be-superimposed area matching the to-be-superimposed image based on the identity information. The present embodiment realizes a partial update to the scene picture.
