IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18603028 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
The abstract describes an image processing system that acquires virtual viewpoint images based on captured images from multiple image capturing devices, allows users to select specific virtual viewpoint images, and provides image quality information for specified regions within those images.
- The system includes memories storing instructions and processors executing those instructions.
- Virtual viewpoint images are generated from captured images obtained by multiple image capturing apparatuses.
- Users can select a specific virtual viewpoint image based on their preferences.
- Image quality information is displayed for specified regions within the selected virtual viewpoint image.
- The system enhances user experience by allowing for personalized image selection and quality assessment.
Potential Applications: - Virtual reality applications - Photography and videography editing software - Surveillance systems with multiple cameras
Problems Solved: - Providing users with a more interactive and customizable viewing experience - Enhancing image quality assessment for specific regions within images
Benefits: - Improved user engagement and satisfaction - Enhanced image quality evaluation - Increased flexibility in image selection and viewing
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Image Processing System for Personalized Viewing Experiences This technology can be utilized in virtual reality platforms, photography software, and surveillance systems to offer users a more interactive and tailored experience. The market implications include increased user engagement and satisfaction, as well as potential applications in various industries.
Questions about Image Processing System: 1. How does the system determine the specific virtual viewpoint image based on user operations? The system uses user input to select the desired virtual viewpoint image from the generated images. 2. What are the benefits of displaying image quality information for specified regions within the virtual viewpoint images? This feature allows users to assess the quality of specific areas in the images, enhancing their overall viewing experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image processing system includes one or more memories storing instructions, and one or more processors executing the instructions to acquire a plurality of virtual viewpoint images generated based on a plurality of captured images obtained by a plurality of image capturing apparatuses performing image capture, determine a specific virtual viewpoint image of the plurality of virtual viewpoint images based on a first user operation, and display image quality information indicating an image quality of a partial region specified based on a second user operation, the partial region being in the specific virtual viewpoint image.
