==IMAGE ANALYSIS METHOD AND CAMERA APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240046497 titled 'IMAGE ANALYSIS METHOD AND CAMERA APPARATUS

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a method for analyzing the landform in a detection image captured by a camera apparatus. The method involves dividing the detection image into multiple regions and acquiring their respective heights. Some regions with the same height and adjacent to each other are defined as a reference plane area, and a plane formula is obtained for this area. At least one region outside the reference plane area is selected, and the plane formula is applied to calculate a planar height. The planar height is then compared with the initial height of the selected region to determine the landform between the reference plane area and the selected region.

* The method analyzes the landform in a detection image captured by a camera apparatus.
* The detection image is divided into multiple regions to acquire their respective heights.
* Regions with the same height and adjacent to each other are defined as a reference plane area.
* A plane formula is obtained for the reference plane area.
* At least one region outside the reference plane area is selected.
* The plane formula is applied to calculate a planar height for the selected region.
* The planar height is compared with the initial height of the selected region.
* The landform between the reference plane area and the selected region is determined based on the comparison result.

Potential applications of this technology:
* Land surveying and mapping
* Geological analysis and research
* Environmental monitoring and assessment
* Urban planning and development
* Agriculture and crop management

Problems solved by this technology:
* Accurate analysis and measurement of landform features
* Efficient identification of changes in landform over time
* Improved understanding of topographical variations
* Enhanced decision-making in various fields related to landform analysis

Benefits of this technology:
* More precise and reliable landform analysis
* Time and cost savings in data collection and processing
* Increased efficiency in land management and planning
* Improved accuracy in environmental impact assessments
* Enhanced capabilities for research and development in geosciences.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

an image analysis method is applied to a camera apparatus and used to analyze the landform inside a detection image captured by the camera apparatus via a predefined installation angle. the image analysis method includes dividing the detection image into a plurality of first regions to acquire a plurality of first height, defining some first regions with the same height and adjacent to each other as a first reference plane area to acquire a first plane formula, selecting at least one first region adjacent to and outside the first reference plane area, applying the selected first region for the first plane formula to acquire a first planar height and comparing the first planar height with an initial first height of the at least one first region, and determining landform between the first reference plane area and the selected at least one first region in accordance with a comparison result.
