IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, IMAGING DEVICE, TERMINAL DEVICE, AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18571737 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, IMAGING DEVICE, TERMINAL DEVICE, AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The monitoring camera described in the patent application includes an imaging unit, a division processing unit, an image processing unit, and a transmitting unit. The terminal includes a communication unit, an image processing unit, and a managing unit.

  • The imaging unit generates image data.
  • The division processing unit divides the image into a processible image and a target image when the processing load exceeds a predetermined threshold.
  • The image processing unit executes image processing on the processible image.
  • The transmitting unit sends the first image processing result and target image data to the terminal.
  • The communication unit at the terminal receives the first image processing result and target image data.
  • The image processing unit at the terminal processes the target image indicated by the target image data.
  • The managing unit integrates the first image processing result and a second image processing result to acquire one result.

Potential Applications

This technology can be used in surveillance systems, security cameras, and video monitoring devices.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in managing high processing loads in image processing tasks, ensuring efficient and effective monitoring.

Benefits

The system optimizes image processing tasks, reduces processing time, and enhances overall monitoring capabilities.

Original Abstract Submitted

A monitoring camera includes an imaging unit that generates image data; a division processing unit that divides the image into a processible image and a target image when a processing load of image processing to be executed on the image is more than a predetermined load; an image processing unit that executes the image processing on the processible image; and a transmitting unit that transmits a first image processing result that is a result of the image processing executed on the processible image and target image data. The terminal includes: a communication unit that receives the first image processing result and the target image data; an image processing unit that executes image processing on the target image indicated by the target image data; and a managing unit that acquires one result by integrating the first image processing result and a second image processing result.
