IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240126806 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that acquires and integrates time-series images from different queries to generate an integrated query with feature values arranged in time series.

  • Query acquisition unit acquires first query moving image with time-series first frame images and at least one second query moving image with time-series second frame images.
  • Feature value computing unit computes feature values of keypoints detected from objects in each frame image.
  • Correspondence relationship determination unit associates second frame images with first frame images.
  • Integration unit integrates feature values from each frame image pair to generate an integrated query.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in video analysis, object recognition, and image processing systems.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently integrating feature values from different time-series images to generate a comprehensive query.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved accuracy in object recognition, enhanced video analysis capabilities, and streamlined image processing workflows.

Potential Commercial Applications

A potential commercial application of this technology could be in surveillance systems for real-time object tracking and identification.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be systems that perform feature extraction and matching in image processing applications.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle variations in lighting conditions across different frames in the query images?

The system may use normalization techniques to account for variations in lighting conditions and ensure consistency in feature values.

Can this technology be applied to real-time video processing applications?

Yes, this technology can be adapted for real-time video processing by optimizing the feature extraction and integration algorithms for efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

a query acquisition unit () acquires a first query moving image having a plurality of time-series first frame images and at least one second query moving image having a plurality of time-series second frame images. a feature value computing unit () computes a feature value of a keypoint detected from an object being included in each of the first frame images and the second frame images. a correspondence relationship determination unit () determines a second frame image associated with each of the plurality of first frame images. an integration unit () performs, for a plurality of combinations of the first frame image and the second frame image associated with each other, processing of integrating the feature values computed from each of the first frame image and the second frame image, and thereby generates an integrated query in which the integrated feature values are arranged in time series.
