INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240137508 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an information processing apparatus that can estimate important and non-important regions in an image and replace non-important regions with alternative data based on their levels of importance.
- The apparatus includes obtaining means for input data (image data or point cloud data), estimating means for determining importance levels of regions in a frame, replacing means for generating replaced data by replacing non-important regions with alternative data, evaluating means for deriving an evaluation value from the replaced data, and training means for improving the estimation process based on the evaluation value.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in image processing, video editing, object recognition, and computer vision systems.
Problems Solved
This technology helps to identify and focus on important regions in an image, improving efficiency in processing and analysis tasks.
Benefits
The apparatus can enhance the accuracy and speed of image analysis, reduce processing time, and optimize resource allocation.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include automated image editing software, surveillance systems, medical imaging technologies, and autonomous vehicles.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be image segmentation algorithms that aim to partition an image into meaningful regions for analysis and processing.
Unanswered Questions
How does the apparatus determine the levels of importance for different regions in the input data?
The abstract mentions estimating levels of importance, but it does not specify the exact method or criteria used for this estimation process.
What type of alternative data is used to replace non-important regions in the input data?
The abstract mentions replacing regions with alternative data based on their importance levels, but it does not elaborate on the nature or source of this alternative data.
Original Abstract Submitted
to provide a technique which makes it possible to suitably estimate an important region and a non-important region in an image, an information processing apparatus () includes: an obtaining means () for obtaining input data which includes at least one of image data and point cloud data; an estimating means () for estimating levels of importance with respect to a respective plurality of regions which are included in a frame indicated by the input data; a replacing means () for generating replaced data by replacing at least one of the plurality of regions, which are included in the input data, with alternative data in accordance with the levels of importance; an evaluating means () for deriving an evaluation value by referring to the replaced data; and a training means () for training the estimating means with reference to the evaluation value.
