IMAGING STATUS MONITORING SYSTEM, IMAGING STATUS MONITORING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18032063 titled 'IMAGING STATUS MONITORING SYSTEM, IMAGING STATUS MONITORING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes an imaging status monitoring system that can determine whether or not an imaging target has been imaged.

• The system includes a reference image generation unit that generates information about a reference image, which includes a reference part, based on a first image of the imaging target taken in a specific time period.
• An image acquisition unit acquires a second image of the imaging target.
• An imaging status monitoring unit determines the imaging status by comparing the position of the reference part in the reference image with the position of a corresponding part in the second image.
• If the position of the reference part in the reference image is different from the position of the corresponding part in the second image, the reference image generation unit adjusts the position of the reference part in the reference image to match the position of the corresponding part.

Original Abstract Submitted

An imaging status monitoring system includes: a reference image generation unit that generates a reference image information about a reference image including a reference part, based on a first image of an imaging target imaged in a predetermined period; an image acquisition unit that acquires a second image of the imaging target imaged; and an imaging status monitoring unit that determines an imaging status of whether or not the imaging target has been imaged, based on a relationship between a position of the reference part in the reference image and a position of a corresponding part in the second image, wherein the reference image generation unit sets the position of the reference part included in the reference image information to the position of the corresponding part, when the position of the reference part in the reference image is different from the position of the corresponding part.
