IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, PROJECTOR DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18546249 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, PROJECTOR DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image processing device that classifies an input image into foreground and background portions, corrects the foreground image, and then corrects any inconsistencies caused by the correction.

  • Foreground-background classification unit: Classifies input image into foreground and background portions.
  • Foreground correction unit: Corrects the foreground image portion.
  • Inconsistency correction unit: Corrects any inconsistencies caused by the correction of the foreground image portion.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various fields such as photography, video editing, surveillance systems, and augmented reality.

Problems Solved

1. Accurately separating foreground and background in images. 2. Correcting inconsistencies in the image caused by foreground correction.

Benefits

1. Improved image quality. 2. Enhanced visual effects. 3. Better object recognition in images.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Image Processing Device for Foreground-Background Classification" could be used in industries such as entertainment, security, advertising, and digital marketing.

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing patents or technologies related to image segmentation, background removal, and image correction in the field of image processing.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle complex backgrounds in images?

The technology uses advanced algorithms to accurately classify foreground and background portions, even in complex backgrounds with intricate details.

Can this technology be applied in real-time image processing applications?

Yes, this technology can be optimized for real-time processing, making it suitable for applications such as video streaming, live broadcasts, and surveillance systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing device according to the present technology includes: a foreground-background classification unit configured to classify an input image into a foreground image portion which is a portion in which a subject in a foreground is captured and a background image portion which is a portion in which a subject in a background farther than the foreground image portion is captured; a foreground correction unit configured to correct the foreground image portion; and an inconsistency correction unit configured to correct an inconsistent portion caused by the correction of the foreground image portion by the foreground correction unit.
