Superimposing Identification Data on Target Images
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In existing image processing technologies, it is difficult for operators to verify the correctness of identification information recognition on a target object, as the recognition results are displayed separately from the target object, making it hard to confirm if the identification information is correctly recognized.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus that captures a target object, detects identification information, and generates a combined image by superimposing the identification information onto the captured image, allowing the operator to view the results directly on the target object.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If identification information is displayed in a separate area from the target object, then the layout is simple and easy to implement, but the operator cannot easily verify the correctness of recognition results
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the captured image and the detected identification information into a single combined image displayed on one screen. The identification information is superimposed on the captured image at the corresponding position, allowing operators to verify recognition results directly without switching between separate displays, thus resolving the contradiction between implementation simplicity and verification ease.
2Device complexity
If identification information is displayed separately from the target object, then the display structure is simple, but the operator cannot determine correctness at a glance
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the target object image and identification information into a single composite display. This merging eliminates the need for operators to switch between separate displays or mentally correlate separate information, significantly reducing verification time while maintaining relatively simple display structure through software-based image combination.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent overlays identification information on the two-dimensional captured image, adding an information dimension without significantly increasing structural complexity. This dimensional approach allows multiple pieces of information (image + text + bounding box) to coexist in a single visual space, reducing verification time without complex hardware additions.
3Ease of manufacture
If recognition results are shown in a different location, then the interface design is straightforward, but operator accuracy in determining correctness decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the recognition results with the original captured image in a single composite display. This combination allows operators to directly compare the detected identification information with the visual context of the target object, significantly improving verification accuracy while maintaining straightforward interface design through software-based image processing and overlay.
Data Source
AI summary
An image processing apparatus includes a processor. The processor accepts a captured image generated by capturing an image of a target object, detects identification information for identifying the target object by processing the captured image, and generates a combined image that is the combination of the captured image and the identification information and causes a display apparatus to display the combined image. In the combined image, the identification information is superimposed on the target object in the captured image.
