METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING ARRAY IMAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18376280 titled 'METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING ARRAY IMAGE
The patent application describes an image processing method that involves determining various setting parameters to enhance sensitivity or resolution in multi-view images captured through an array lens.
- The method determines whether to use a multi-view or a single view from the multi-view images.
- It also decides whether to prioritize sensitivity enhancement through pixel binning or resolution enhancement through pixel interpolation.
- Based on these parameters, an image processing mode is determined to process the input array image accordingly.
- The output image is generated using the determined image processing mode to improve the quality of the captured multi-view images.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in the development of advanced imaging devices for various industries such as surveillance, medical imaging, and entertainment.
Problems Solved: - The method addresses the challenge of optimizing image quality in multi-view images captured through an array lens by intelligently determining the processing mode based on specific parameters.
Benefits: - Enhanced image quality in multi-view images. - Improved sensitivity and resolution adjustments. - Efficient processing of array lens captured images.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Image Processing Technology for Enhanced Multi-View Imaging This technology can be utilized in the development of high-quality surveillance cameras, medical imaging devices, and entertainment systems to provide users with superior image quality and enhanced viewing experiences.
Prior Art: There is no specific information provided about prior art related to this technology.
Frequently Updated Research: There is no information available on frequently updated research relevant to this technology.
Questions about Image Processing Method: 1. How does the method determine whether to use a multi-view or a single view from the captured images? 2. What are the key advantages of prioritizing sensitivity enhancement or resolution enhancement in image processing?
Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing method includes: based on an imaging device generating an input array image of a multi-view through an array lens, determining a first setting parameter indicating whether to use the multi-view or a single view selected from the multi-view; determining a second setting parameter indicating whether a priority is assigned to sensitivity enhancement based on pixel binning or to resolution enhancement based on pixel interpolation; determining an image processing mode based on the first setting parameter and the second setting parameter; and generating an output image by performing image processing on the input array image based on a processing procedure that is based on the determined image processing mode.
