IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18589468 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
The abstract of this patent application describes a method for generating a background image from multiple captured images taken over a period of time, with a focus on capturing an object at rest in the background image. The process involves updating the background image based on area information to identify specific areas for updating and non-updating within the image.
- The innovation involves generating a new background image by updating specific areas identified by area information from multiple captured images.
- The method focuses on capturing an object at rest in the background image to ensure accurate updating.
- Area information is used to distinguish between updating and non-updating areas within the background image.
- The updating process is targeted at specific areas to improve the overall quality and accuracy of the background image.
- This method allows for the creation of more dynamic and visually appealing background images.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in surveillance systems to enhance image quality and accuracy. It could also be applied in photography and videography for background enhancement. Commercial security systems could benefit from improved background image generation.
Problems Solved: Addresses the challenge of updating background images accurately and efficiently. Ensures that objects at rest are captured effectively in the background image. Improves the overall quality and visual appeal of generated background images.
Benefits: Enhanced image quality and accuracy. Improved background image updating process. Increased visual appeal and dynamic backgrounds.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Background Image Generation Technology for Surveillance Systems This technology could be utilized in security systems for improved surveillance capabilities. It could also be integrated into photography and videography equipment for enhanced background imaging.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this technology improve the accuracy of background image generation? 2. What are the potential applications of this technology in surveillance systems?
Original Abstract Submitted
In a case where a background image is generated from a plurality of captured images obtained during a predetermined time, on a condition that an object at rest exists, the object is taken in in the background image. A new background image is generated by performing updating processing based on the plurality of captured images, which takes an updating area identified by area information among generated background images corresponding to the plurality of captured images obtained during a predetermined time as a target. The area information is information indicating an updating area, which is a target of updating processing, and a non-updating area, which is not a target of updating processing, in the background image.
