Subject-Aware Imaging Control for Automatic Setting Switching
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional imaging devices require users to manually switch imaging settings every time a subject type is changed, leading to complex operations.
Innovation Solution
An imaging device with a setting registration unit that registers imaging settings for each subject type, a recognition unit that identifies the subject based on these settings, and an imaging control unit that adjusts settings accordingly, allowing automatic recognition and imaging without manual intervention.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual switching of imaging settings is implemented for each subject type, then imaging precision can be optimized for specific subjects, but operation complexity increases and user convenience deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging device automatically performs subject recognition and selects appropriate imaging settings without requiring manual user input. The system serves itself by autonomously switching between different subject types (person, animal, bird, insect, car/train) and applying pre-configured imaging parameters, thereby eliminating the need for users to manually adjust settings while maintaining optimized imaging precision for each subject category
Solution Approach 2:
Imaging settings for each subject type are pre-configured and stored in the device memory before actual imaging occurs. The system performs preliminary classification of subject types and has corresponding imaging parameters ready in advance, enabling instant automatic switching without requiring users to manually configure settings during the imaging process
2Ease of operation
If automatic subject recognition is implemented, then operation simplicity is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional recognition and control units
Solution Approach 1:
The imaging device integrates multiple functions into a unified system where the subject recognition unit, setting registration unit, and imaging control unit work together as a cohesive multi-functional module. This universal approach allows the device to handle various subject types (person, animal, bird, insect, car/train) and imaging modes within a single integrated architecture, managing device complexity through functional consolidation rather than separate independent systems

AI summary
An imaging device includes: a setting registration unit that registers an imaging setting for each subject type; a recognition unit that recognizes a subject from an image on the basis of the imaging setting of the subject type to be a recognition target; and an imaging control unit that controls imaging on the basis of the subject recognized by the recognition unit.
