ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18397090 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation: The electronic device described in the patent application can acquire position coordinates designated by a user in a display image obtained from a captured image. It then transforms these position coordinates from the display image into position coordinates in the captured image and controls the imaging apparatus based on these coordinates.
- The electronic device includes a processor and memory storing a program.
- The program, when executed, allows the device to acquire user-designated position coordinates in a display image from a captured image.
- It then transforms these coordinates from the display image to the captured image using second transformation processing.
- The device controls the imaging apparatus based on the position coordinates in the captured image.
Potential Applications: 1. Photography and imaging devices with enhanced user control features. 2. Augmented reality applications for precise positioning and control. 3. Remote sensing and surveillance systems for accurate target tracking.
Problems Solved: 1. Difficulty in accurately positioning objects in captured images. 2. Lack of user-friendly control mechanisms for imaging devices. 3. Inefficient transformation processes between display and captured images.
Benefits: 1. Improved user experience in capturing and manipulating images. 2. Enhanced precision in positioning objects within images. 3. Streamlined control of imaging apparatus based on user input.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in the development of advanced photography equipment, augmented reality systems, and surveillance cameras. It has the potential to revolutionize user interaction with imaging devices and enhance the accuracy of image processing in various industries.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the second transformation processing differ from the first transformation processing? 2. What are the specific user inputs required to designate position coordinates in the display image?
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device according to the present invention includes: a processor; and a memory storing a program which, when executed by the processor, causes the electronic device to acquire position coordinates designated by a user in a display image obtained by performing first transformation processing on a captured image obtained by an imaging apparatus; transform the position coordinates in the display image into position coordinates in the captured image by a second transformation processing opposite to the first transformation processing; and perform control to perform a setting for the imaging apparatus, on a basis of the position coordinates in the captured image.
