INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE, CLIENT DEVICE, CONTROL METHODS THEREOF, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18500293 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE, CLIENT DEVICE, CONTROL METHODS THEREOF, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing device that detects a predetermined subject from an image captured, determines a speed to change the imaging range based on the size of the subject detected, and controls the change in the imaging range at the determined speed.

  • The device adjusts the imaging range speed based on the size of the subject detected to ensure optimal image capture.
  • It maintains the imaging range when the subject size falls within a certain range based on a target size.
  • If the difference between the detection limit subject size and the subject size associated with the edge of the range is too small, the device adjusts the subject size to maintain a sufficient difference.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in:

  • Surveillance systems
  • Autonomous vehicles
  • Robotics

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of adjusting imaging range speed based on subject size to optimize image capture.

Benefits

  • Improved image quality
  • Enhanced subject detection accuracy
  • Efficient use of resources

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing imaging range speed based on subject size can be beneficial in industries such as:

  • Security
  • Automotive
  • Manufacturing

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be systems that adjust imaging parameters based on subject size, but not specifically focusing on changing imaging range speed in real-time.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device determine the optimal speed for changing the imaging range?

The abstract mentions determining the speed based on subject size, but it does not specify the exact algorithm or method used for this determination.

Are there any limitations to the device's ability to accurately detect and adjust the imaging range speed?

It would be important to know if there are any scenarios or conditions where the device may not perform optimally in detecting subjects and adjusting the imaging range speed accordingly.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing device which detects a predetermined subject from an image captured, determines a speed at which to change an imaging range in accordance with a subject size of the predetermined subject detected, controls the change in the imaging range at the determined speed, determines the speed such that the imaging range is not changed while the subject size detected takes a value within a first range based on a target size, and when a first difference between a detection limit subject size at which the predetermined subject can be detected and a subject size associated with an edge of the first range is lower than a first predetermined value, and changes the subject size associated with the edge of the first range such that the first difference becomes greater than or equal to the first predetermined value.
