IMAGE CAPTURE APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240338172 titled 'IMAGE CAPTURE APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD
The image capture apparatus described in the patent application includes a detection unit that identifies a radio signal, an extraction unit that pulls out feature information of a subject from image data, a selection unit that chooses a sound reception device capable of receiving sound data from at least one sound transmission device that can receive the radio signal, and a reception unit that receives sound data from the selected sound transmission device through a wireless communication unit.
- The apparatus selects the sound transmission device based on comparing the feature information of the subject with comparison information to ensure the sound data corresponds to the subject being captured.
- The technology allows for the selection of the sound transmission device that transmits sound data related to the subject as the shooting target from multiple sound transmission devices that can receive the radio signal.
Potential Applications: - Surveillance systems - Wildlife photography - Sports photography - Event photography - Security systems
Problems Solved: - Enhances the accuracy of capturing sound data related to the subject being photographed - Improves the overall quality of image capture by ensuring sound data corresponds to the subject
Benefits: - Improved synchronization of sound and image data - Enhanced user experience in capturing moments - Increased efficiency in capturing specific subjects
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Sound-Driven Image Capture Technology This technology can be utilized in various industries such as photography, surveillance, and security systems to improve the accuracy and quality of image capture by synchronizing sound data with the subject being photographed.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the apparatus ensure the selected sound transmission device corresponds to the subject being captured? 2. What are the potential limitations of this technology in noisy environments?
Original Abstract Submitted
an image capture apparatus comprises a detection unit that detects a radio signal, an extraction unit that extracts feature information of a subject from image data, a selection unit that selects a sound reception device that receives sound data from at least one sound transmission device from which the radio signal can be received, and a reception unit that receives, by a wireless communication unit, sound data from the selected sound transmission device selected by the selection unit. based on a result of comparing feature information of a subject as a shooting target with comparison information for selecting the sound transmission device, the selection unit selects the sound transmission device that transmits sound data corresponding to the subject as the shooting target from at least one sound transmission device from which the radio signal can be received.
