METHOD AND APPARATUS OF PROCESSING IMAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17987240 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS OF PROCESSING IMAGE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image processing method and apparatus that can process images in a more efficient manner. Here are the key points:

  • The method involves acquiring information about a specific region of interest (ROI) in a first frame of an image.
  • Based on this acquired information, the method estimates the information of a corresponding ROI in a second frame of the image.
  • The method then stores subframes, which are portions of the second frame, in a memory in a sequential manner, with each subframe representing a line of the second frame.
  • Using the estimated information of the second ROI, the method determines whether a portion of the stored subframes includes the second ROI.
  • If the portion of the stored subframes is determined to include the second ROI, the method processes that portion of the stored subframes.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This image processing method can be used in various fields such as surveillance systems, video editing, and computer vision applications.
  • It can help in analyzing and processing specific regions of interest in real-time video streams, allowing for more efficient and targeted processing.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Traditional image processing methods often require processing the entire image, which can be computationally expensive and time-consuming.
  • This method solves this problem by selectively processing only the regions of interest, reducing the processing time and resources required.

Benefits of this technology:

  • By sequentially storing subframes and processing only the relevant portions, this method can significantly improve the efficiency of image processing tasks.
  • It allows for real-time processing of specific regions of interest, enabling faster analysis and decision-making.
  • The method can be implemented in existing image processing systems without requiring major modifications, making it a cost-effective solution.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing method and an image processing apparatus are provided. The image processing method includes acquiring information of a first region of interest (ROI) in a first frame, estimating information of a second ROI in a second frame that is received after the first frame, based on the acquired information of the first ROI, and sequentially storing, in a memory, subframes that are a portion of the second frame, each of the subframes being a line of the second frame. The image processing method further includes determining whether a portion of the stored subframes includes the second ROI, based on the estimated information of the second ROI, and based on the portion of the stored subframes being determined to include the second ROI, processing the portion of the stored subframes.
