IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18033181 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that can detect personal items and skeleton information from a series of images captured at different times. It includes the following components:
- Image accruing means: Acquires multiple images captured at different times.
- Personal item detecting means: Detects personal items from each image.
- Skeleton information detecting means: Detects skeleton information of a person from each image.
- Reidentification personal item selecting means: Selects a personal item to reidentify based on the detected personal item and skeleton information.
- Personal item reidentifying means: Determines whether the selected personal items from different images are identical.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Surveillance systems: The apparatus can be used in surveillance systems to track personal items and identify individuals based on their personal items and skeleton information.
- Lost and found systems: It can be utilized in lost and found systems to match lost personal items with the ones found, based on their reidentified information.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient personal item tracking: The apparatus can automatically track personal items across multiple images, making it easier to locate and identify them.
- Improved reidentification accuracy: By considering both personal items and skeleton information, the system can enhance the accuracy of reidentifying personal items.
Benefits of this technology:
- Time-saving: The automated image processing reduces the time and effort required for manual tracking and reidentification of personal items.
- Enhanced security: The apparatus can aid in identifying individuals based on their personal items, contributing to improved security measures.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing apparatus includes: an image accruing means acquiring a plurality of images captured at different times; a personal item detecting means detecting a personal item from each of the images; a skeleton information detecting means detecting skeleton information of a person from each of the images; a reidentification personal item selecting means selecting a personal item to reidentify by the detected personal item and skeleton information of the person; and a personal item reidentifying means determining whether or not a personal item to reidentify selected from one image of the plurality of images and a personal item to reidentify selected from another image of the images are identical personal items.
