Solution Overview

Problem

Manual target labeling in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imaging is inefficient and cannot display labeling information in real-time with images, leading to poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for automatically labeling targets in real-time UAV images by acquiring image coordinates, rendering targets at corresponding positions, and displaying the labeled images, enabling real-time labeling and improved data processing efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual labeling is used to mark target positions on a map, then labeling can be completed, but the efficiency is low and it cannot display together with real-time images

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelabeling efficiencyVSAvoidreal-time display capability

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical labeling operations with an automated computer vision system. The system uses image recognition algorithms to automatically identify and label targets in real-time images, substituting the manual process of marking positions on maps with automated digital labeling that integrates directly with the image feed, thereby achieving both high efficiency and real-time display capability

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a multi-functional system that simultaneously performs image capture, target recognition, labeling, and real-time display functions. Rather than separate processes for image acquisition and labeling, the system integrates these functions to process and display labeled images in real-time, improving both productivity and temporal responsiveness

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Loss of information

If manual labeling on map is used, then target positions can be marked, but the information display effect is poor

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveinformation display effectVSAvoiduser experience

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of informationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the labeling information directly with the real-time image display. Instead of showing separate map-based labels, the system overlays target labels directly on the corresponding targets in the real-time image, combining visual identification and labeling information into a single integrated display that improves information presentation and user experience

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a target labeling method and apparatus, a device and a storage medium The target labeling method includes: acquiring a first real-time image sent by an unmanned aerial vehicle and first target information of at least one target identified in the first real-time image; rendering the at least one target at a corresponding position in the first real-time image according to the first target information of the at least one target so as to label the at least one target; and displaying the rendered first real-time image.
