Video Data Integration for Person Identification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video monitoring systems struggle to effectively utilize and integrate various types of information, such as movement trajectories and facial data, from video images to provide comprehensive insights about individuals, often failing to associate these pieces of information accurately.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that acquires multiple types of base information from video data, including movement paths and facial features, and integrates them based on predetermined relations to generate comprehensive information about individuals, allowing for the association of different types of data as information about the same person.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If multiple types of base information (movement trajectory, facial information) are independently acquired from video images, then the quantity of information is increased, but the information remains separate and less useful for comprehensive monitoring
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the merging principle by integrating multiple types of base information (movement trajectory, facial information, and other monitoring data) that were previously acquired separately. The integration unit combines these disparate information types into unified integrated information, allowing comprehensive monitoring while maintaining the utility and relevance of the combined data through systematic association.
2Device complexity
If various types of information are independently processed without integration, then the processing complexity is reduced, but the ability to obtain useful comprehensive information about individuals is diminished
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the information processing system into distinct functional units: a base information acquisition unit that collects different types of data separately, and a base information integration unit that combines them. This segmentation maintains manageable processing complexity while enabling comprehensive information generation through the coordinated operation of specialized components.
3Loss of information
If comprehensive integration of all information types is performed, then the usefulness of monitoring information is improved, but the device complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing an integration unit that can handle multiple types of base information (movement trajectory, facial information, and other monitoring data) through a single unified process. This multi-functional approach improves monitoring usefulness while controlling complexity by using a general-purpose integration mechanism rather than separate specialized systems for each information type.
