IMAGE PROCESSING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17963722 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method and system for processing an image. Here are the key points:
- Detects multiple objects within an input image.
- Identifies the dimensions of a display where the input image will be shown.
- Crops the input image to match the identified dimensions, including at least one of the detected objects.
- Creates a list of missing objects that were detected in the input image but are not visible in the cropped image.
- Outputs a representation of each missing object to be displayed alongside the cropped image.
- Generates an updated image that includes the representation of at least one missing object and matches the identified dimensions.
- Outputs the updated image to be displayed on the display.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Image editing software that automatically crops images to fit specific display dimensions while preserving important objects.
- Augmented reality applications that overlay missing objects onto a cropped image for a more complete visual experience.
- E-commerce platforms that display products with missing parts, allowing customers to see the complete item.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures that important objects are not cut off or distorted when an image is cropped to fit a specific display.
- Provides a way to display missing objects alongside a cropped image, enhancing the visual experience and conveying more information.
- Saves time and effort by automating the process of cropping and generating updated images.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved visual presentation by accurately cropping images to match display dimensions.
- Enhanced user experience by displaying missing objects alongside the cropped image.
- Increased efficiency and automation in image processing tasks.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method and system for processing an image is described. For example, the method comprises detecting a plurality of objects within an in input image; identifying dimensions of a display on which the input image is to be displayed; cropping the input image to obtain a cropped image which matches the identified dimensions, wherein the cropped image includes at least one of the plurality of detected objects; obtaining a list of missing objects which are not visible in the cropped image and which were detected in the input image; outputting a representation of each missing object in the list of missing objects to be displayed together with the cropped image; generating an updated image comprising the representation of at least one missing object and which matches the identified dimensions; and outputting the updated image to be displayed on the display.
