METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR DETERMINING BOUNDARY OF REGION OF INTEREST - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18100224 titled 'METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR DETERMINING BOUNDARY OF REGION OF INTEREST

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that can capture and process images from multiple sensors. Here are the key points:

  • The apparatus has a memory to store instructions and a processor to execute those instructions.
  • It can obtain a first image from a first image sensor and a second image from a second image sensor, which is positioned differently from the first sensor.
  • It can determine a rough region of interest (RROI) in the first image.
  • It can calculate a geometric transformation that maps the position of the RROI in the second image to the position of the RROI in the first image.
  • It can determine the boundary of a region of interest (ROI) in the first image based on the geometric transformation.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Surveillance systems: The apparatus can be used to combine images from multiple sensors to create a comprehensive view of a scene.
  • Augmented reality: The apparatus can help align images from different sensors to create a seamless augmented reality experience.
  • Medical imaging: The technology can be used to combine images from different sensors to enhance the accuracy of medical diagnoses.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Alignment of images: The apparatus solves the problem of aligning images from different sensors that are positioned differently.
  • Region of interest determination: The technology helps in accurately determining the region of interest in an image.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved image processing: The apparatus allows for more accurate and efficient processing of images from multiple sensors.
  • Enhanced image analysis: The technology enables better analysis of specific regions of interest in an image.
  • Increased versatility: The apparatus can work with different types of image sensors and can be applied to various fields such as surveillance, augmented reality, and medical imaging.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing apparatus includes at least one memory configured to store instructions, and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to obtain a first image captured by a first image sensor, obtain a second image captured by a second image sensor, which is located in a different position from a position of the first image sensor, determine a rough region of interest (RROI) in the first image, determine a geometric transformation that maps a position of an RROI of the second image corresponding to the RROI of the first image to a position of the RROI of the first image, and determine a boundary of a region of interest (ROI) in the first image corresponding to the RROI of the first image, based on the geometric transformation.
