CAMERA LISTING BASED ON COMPARISON OF IMAGING RANGE COVERAGE INFORMATION TO EVENT-RELATED DATA GENERATED BASED ON CAPTURED IMAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18242252 titled 'CAMERA LISTING BASED ON COMPARISON OF IMAGING RANGE COVERAGE INFORMATION TO EVENT-RELATED DATA GENERATED BASED ON CAPTURED IMAGE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for generating event-related data based on a captured image and comparing it to coverage information of imaging range. The purpose is to list cameras that can capture an image of the event, allowing an operator to select the most suitable camera.

  • Event-related data is generated from a captured image.
  • Coverage information of imaging range is compared to the event-related data.
  • Cameras capable of capturing the event are listed based on the comparison result.
  • An operator can select the appropriate camera from the listed options.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various fields where event monitoring and camera selection are crucial, such as:

  • Surveillance systems
  • Traffic monitoring
  • Security systems
  • Sports broadcasting
  • Wildlife observation

Problems Solved

The patent addresses the following problems:

  • Efficient camera selection for capturing specific events.
  • Reducing the need for manual camera adjustment and monitoring.
  • Ensuring optimal coverage and image quality for events.

Benefits

The technology offers several benefits:

  • Improved event monitoring and surveillance capabilities.
  • Time and cost savings by automating camera selection.
  • Enhanced image quality and coverage for capturing events.
  • Simplified operation for operators.


Original Abstract Submitted

Event-related data based on an image that has been captured is generated. Coverage information relating to imaging range is compared to the event-related data. The cameras that can capture an image of the event, based on a comparing result, are listed so that an operator can select one of the listed cameras.
