IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, MOVABLE APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18756762 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, MOVABLE APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an image processing system that prevents image resolution deterioration when displaying images captured by a movable apparatus. It includes an optical system, imaging unit, and image processing unit to maintain image quality.

  • First optical system forms a low-resolution area and a high-resolution area in the image based on the angle of view.
  • First imaging unit captures the optical image to generate image data.
  • Image processing unit deforms the image data to prevent resolution loss.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Dual-resolution optical system for capturing images.
  • Deformation of image data to maintain resolution.
  • Prevents deterioration of image quality in captured surroundings.

Potential Applications: This technology can be used in:

  • Mobile devices with cameras.
  • Surveillance systems.
  • Autonomous vehicles.

Problems Solved:

  • Prevents image resolution loss.
  • Maintains image quality in captured surroundings.

Benefits:

  • Improved image quality.
  • Enhanced visual data processing.
  • Prevents blurriness in images.

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial uses include:

  • Smartphone cameras.
  • Security cameras.
  • Automotive cameras for self-driving vehicles.

Questions about Image Processing System: 1. How does the dual-resolution optical system work to maintain image quality? 2. What are the specific angles of view that determine the resolution areas in the captured image?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in image processing technology to enhance the capabilities of the system.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing system, which can prevent a sense of resolution when an image obtained by capturing surroundings of a movable apparatus is displayed from deteriorating, includes a first optical system that forms a first optical image having a low-resolution area corresponding to an angle of view less than a first angle of view and a high-resolution area corresponding to an angle of view greater than or equal to the first angle of view, a first imaging unit that captures the first optical image formed by the first optical system to generate first image data, and an image processing unit that deforms the first image data to generate first deformed image data.
