IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGING DEVICE, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18676677 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGING DEVICE, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

The abstract describes an image processing device that acquires outside information and luminance information of an image to generate a combined image and output it accordingly.

  • Acquires outside information
  • Acquires luminance information of an image
  • Combines multiple images to create a combined image
  • Outputs the acquired image or the combined image
  • Initiates the process of generating the combined image based on the outside information
  • Outputs an uncombined image or the combined image based on the luminance information

Potential Applications: - Image editing and enhancement - Medical imaging - Surveillance systems - Satellite imaging - Artistic photography

Problems Solved: - Efficient image processing - Enhanced image quality - Automation of image combining process

Benefits: - Improved image output - Time-saving in image processing - Enhanced visual representation

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Image Processing Device for Enhanced Visual Output" This technology can be used in industries such as photography, healthcare, security, and satellite imaging for improved image processing and output.

Questions about Image Processing Device: 1. How does the device acquire outside information and use it in image processing? The device acquires outside information through sensors or input sources and uses it to adjust the processing of the image accordingly.

2. What is the significance of combining multiple images in generating a combined image? Combining multiple images allows for enhanced details, dynamic range, and overall quality in the final output.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing device comprising: a memory storing instructions; and a processor executing the instructions causing the image processing device to: acquire outside information; acquire luminance information of an image; combine a plurality of images and to generate a combined image; perform a process of outputting the acquired image or the combined image; and start a process of generating the combined image in response to acquisition of the outside information, and perform a process of outputting an uncombined image not combined or the combined image on the basis of the luminance information.
