Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing imaging systems with multiple cameras increase operational complexity due to the need for users to select specific captured images, complicating the reproduction and tracking of monitoring targets.
Innovation Solution
An imaging apparatus that enhances visibility of monitoring targets by adding highlighting to captured images and tracks them based on user input, using a processor to recognize and display the targets on a display unit.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If multiple cameras are added to reduce blind spots, then the coverage area is improved, but the number of captured images increases causing operational complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic monitoring target selection and tracking without requiring manual user intervention. The processor automatically identifies monitoring targets in captured images, determines which camera provides the best view, and switches displays accordingly, making the system serve itself rather than requiring user management of multiple camera feeds
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies strong artificial intelligence and image processing algorithms to rapidly analyze multiple captured images, automatically identify monitoring targets, and determine optimal display sources. This accelerated processing capability enables the system to handle multiple camera feeds efficiently without increasing operational complexity for users
2Quantity of substance
If multiple captured images are displayed, then more monitoring targets can be viewed, but the user interface becomes complicated
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and displays only the relevant captured image containing the monitoring target on the main display, while providing a simplified overlay or indicator showing the source camera. This extraction principle allows the system to manage multiple captured images internally while presenting a simplified single-view interface to users
Solution Approach 2:
The processor acts as an intermediary between multiple cameras and the display unit, automatically selecting and processing the appropriate captured image. This intermediary function simplifies the user interface by hiding the complexity of multiple image sources and presenting a unified, automatically managed view
3Measurement precision
If manual selection of captured images is required, then specific targets can be viewed, but the tracking efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically identifies monitoring targets and selects the appropriate captured image for display without requiring manual user selection. This self-service capability maintains precise target identification while dramatically improving tracking efficiency by eliminating manual intervention delays
Solution Approach 2:
The processor continuously analyzes captured images in advance to pre-identify monitoring targets and prepare the optimal display source. This preliminary action ensures that when a monitoring target needs to be displayed, the system has already processed and ready the appropriate image, improving tracking efficiency without sacrificing identification accuracy
Data Source
AI summary
An imaging apparatus and a program capable of tracking and regenerate a monitoring target selected by a user are provided. An imaging device for performing display control of a captured image obtained by imaging an environment around a vehicle, wherein a processor mounted in the imaging device is configured to perform the following processing, recognizing a monitoring target included in the captured image, generating a processed captured image obtained by adding highlighting to the captured image to enhance the visibility of the monitoring target, displaying the processed captured image on a display unit, tracking the monitoring target to which the highlighting is added; and causing the display unit to display the monitoring target based on an input operation in which a user selects the monitoring target.
