DUAL IMAGE PROCESSING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18438363 titled 'DUAL IMAGE PROCESSING

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an image processing system that maintains certain regions of an image at a higher resolution than others by performing operations on regions of the same resolution.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Image processing system maintains certain regions of an image at higher resolution.
  • Operations are performed on regions of the same resolution to achieve this.
  • Techniques may include generating or adding to a depth map.

Potential Applications: This technology could be used in:

  • Medical imaging for detailed analysis.
  • Satellite imaging for enhanced clarity.
  • Security systems for better surveillance.

Problems Solved:

  • Uneven resolution in images.
  • Lack of clarity in specific regions.
  • Difficulty in analyzing detailed information.

Benefits:

  • Enhanced image quality.
  • Improved analysis capabilities.
  • Better surveillance and monitoring.

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial uses include:

  • Medical imaging equipment.
  • Satellite imaging companies.
  • Security system manufacturers.

Questions about Image Processing System: 1. How does the image processing system determine which regions to maintain at a higher resolution? 2. What are the potential limitations of maintaining certain regions at a higher resolution in terms of processing power and storage capacity?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in image processing technology and applications to leverage the latest innovations in the field.
