IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18272957 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an image processing system that analyzes images in a video captured by an image capturing apparatus to detect the pose of a personal identification document. The system then acquires an image in the video with a detected pose associated with a preset reference pose for the document and outputs guide information onto the video representing the reference pose.

  • Image processing system components:
    • Image analysis unit: Analyzes images in a video to detect the pose of a personal identification document.
    • Image acquisition unit: Acquires images with detected poses associated with preset reference poses for the document.
    • Guide information output unit: Outputs guide information representing the reference pose onto the video.

Potential applications of this technology: - Identity verification systems - Document scanning applications - Security systems

Problems solved by this technology: - Efficient and accurate detection of document poses - Streamlining document processing and verification procedures

Benefits of this technology: - Improved security measures - Enhanced user experience - Time-saving in document processing tasks

Potential commercial applications of this technology:

      1. Enhanced Document Verification and Processing Systems

Possible prior art: - Existing image processing systems for document verification - Document scanning software with pose detection capabilities

Unanswered questions:

      1. How does the system handle variations in lighting conditions during image analysis?

- The patent application does not provide details on how the system adjusts for different lighting conditions that may affect pose detection accuracy.

      1. What types of personal identification documents are compatible with this system?

- The patent application does not specify the range of personal identification documents that can be processed using this technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing system () includes an image analysis unit (), an image acquisition unit (), and a guide information output unit (). The image analysis unit () analyzes an image in a video captured by an image capturing apparatus, and detects a pose of a personal identification document in the image. The image acquisition unit () acquires, as an image to be processed, an image in the video in which a pose associated to any of a plurality of reference poses preset for the personal identification document is detected. The guide information output unit () outputs, onto the video, guide information representing a reference pose of the personal identification document while changing a type and a display position thereof, depending on a detection result of a pose of the personal identification document.
