IMAGING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18260259 titled 'IMAGING DEVICE, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND IMAGE PROCESSING PROGRAM
Simplified Explanation
- An imaging device is designed to reduce transfer delay, recognition processing delay, and processing cost. - The device includes a determination unit that identifies different regions within an imaging region based on the focus of the image captured. - A processing unit then generates two images - one with higher resolution (first image) based on the first region and another with lower resolution (second image) based on the second region.
Potential Applications
- Medical imaging - Surveillance systems - Quality control in manufacturing
Problems Solved
- Reduction of transfer delay - Reduction of recognition processing delay - Reduction of processing cost
Benefits
- Improved image resolution - Faster processing times - Cost-effective imaging solutions
Original Abstract Submitted
To suppress a transfer delay, a recognition processing delay, and a processing cost. An imaging device according to an embodiment includes: a determination unit () that determines two or more regions including first and second regions with respect to an imaging region of an imaging unit on the basis of a degree of focus of an image acquired by the imaging unit (); and a processing unit () that generates a first image based on the first region and a second image based on the second region, in which the first image has a higher resolution than the second image.
