Surveillance Image Boundary Shift Detection and Highlighting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In surveillance imaging systems, position shifts between combined images can lead to inaccurate identification of objects within set regions, necessitating frequent adjustments of view angles or region settings, and there is a need for easier recognition of boundary shifts affecting process performance.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that sets an object region on a combined image and performs a display control process to highlight overlapping boundaries between images, allowing users to visually recognize and adjust for position shifts, thereby facilitating accurate object detection and process execution.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If images are combined to create a panoramic view for broader monitoring coverage, then the monitoring range is improved, but position shifts occur at boundary regions causing inaccurate object identification
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the combined panoramic image into multiple individual image regions corresponding to each imaging unit. By segmenting the combined image, the system can identify boundary regions between different images and apply specific processing (such as highlighting or marking) to these boundary areas, allowing users to recognize position shift issues while maintaining the broad monitoring coverage provided by the combined panoramic view.
2Measurement precision
If the region setting is adjusted to avoid boundary areas, then object detection accuracy is improved, but the operational complexity increases due to frequent re-adjustment of view angles and region settings
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism by visually indicating boundary regions in the combined image where position shifts occur. This feedback allows users to immediately recognize problematic areas without needing to adjust view angles or region settings repeatedly. The visual indication provides continuous information about boundary locations, enabling users to make informed decisions about region setting while reducing operational complexity.
