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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18354805 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND IMAGE CAPTURING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an image processing apparatus that includes several components:

  • Detection unit: This unit is responsible for identifying and detecting a subject from an image.
  • Inference unit: Once the subject is detected, this unit performs inference processing using an inference model.
  • Generation unit: This unit combines various elements including image data, subject information, inference results, and information of the inference model to generate an image file.
  • Private area: The generation unit records the inference model in a private area of the image file.

Key points about the patent/innovation:

  • The image processing apparatus can automatically detect subjects in images.
  • It utilizes an inference model to perform inference processing on the detected subjects.
  • The generated image file includes image data, subject information, inference results, and information of the inference model.
  • The inference model is stored in a private area of the image file, ensuring its accessibility and preservation.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing apparatus comprises: a detection unit that detects a subject from an image; an inference unit that performs inference processing using an inference model on the detected subject; and a generation unit that generates an image file by combining image data of the image, information of the subject, an inference result of the inference processing, and information of the inference model. The generation unit records the inference model in a private area of the image file.
