Wide-View Display Terminal for Synchronized High-Quality Image Areas
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Wide-view images captured with a wide field of view often result in distorted viewing and degraded quality of the predetermined area, making it difficult for users to understand and communicate effectively when viewing different perspectives of the image.
Innovation Solution
An image capturing apparatus adjusts conditions like exposure, white balance, and ISO sensitivity uniformly across the wide field of view, and a display terminal shares point-of-view information to ensure high-quality display of a predetermined area, allowing users to synchronize their viewing perspectives.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If a wide-field-of-view image is captured to cover a wide imaging range, then the imaging range is expanded, but the image quality and viewing clarity are degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The wide-view image is divided into multiple predetermined areas, each captured with optimized parameters. The image capturing apparatus segments the wide field of view into multiple regions and captures each region with appropriate exposure, white balance, and ISO sensitivity settings, then combines them to form a complete wide-view image with maintained quality across all areas.
Solution Approach 2:
Different parameters are applied to different areas of the wide-view image. The system adjusts exposure, white balance, and ISO sensitivity uniformly across the wide field of view to ensure each predetermined area maintains adequate quality, rather than applying a single uniform setting to the entire wide-angle capture.
2Area of stationary object
If the entire wide-view image is displayed, then the complete viewing perspective is provided, but the predetermined area quality is degraded
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary capture of multiple predetermined areas with optimized parameters before displaying the complete wide-view image. By pre-capturing each area with adequate quality parameters and storing them as separate predetermined-area images, the system ensures that when the complete wide-view image is displayed, the predetermined areas maintain their quality.
3Adaptability or versatility
If multiple users view different perspectives of wide-view images simultaneously, then diverse viewing options are provided, but synchronization and understanding among users are difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The display terminal transmits point-of-view information back to the image capturing apparatus. This feedback mechanism allows the system to understand which predetermined area each user is viewing and adjust subsequent captures or displays to maintain synchronization and improve communication efficiency among users viewing from different perspectives.

AI summary
A display terminal, a displaying method, and a program stored in a recording medium, each of which: acquires a wide-view image captured by an image capturing apparatus and having a wide angle of view; displays, on a display, a predetermined-area image representing a predetermined area of the wide-view image; and transmits an image capturing parameter to be received by the image capturing apparatus, the image capturing parameter being determined such that the quality of the predetermined-area image being displayed is adequate.
