IMAGE CAPTURE APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18624420 titled 'IMAGE CAPTURE APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD
The image capture apparatus described in the patent application includes a detection unit that identifies a radio signal, an extraction unit that retrieves feature information of a subject from image data, a selection unit that chooses a sound reception device capable of receiving sound data from at least one sound transmission device transmitting the radio signal, and a reception unit that collects sound data from the selected sound transmission device through a wireless communication unit. The selection unit selects the sound transmission device based on a comparison between the feature information of the subject and comparison information used for selecting the sound transmission device.
- Detection unit identifies a radio signal
- Extraction unit retrieves feature information of a subject from image data
- Selection unit chooses a sound reception device receiving sound data from a sound transmission device transmitting the radio signal
- Reception unit collects sound data from the selected sound transmission device wirelessly
- Selection unit selects the sound transmission device based on comparison with feature information of the subject
Potential Applications: - Surveillance systems - Photography equipment - Security cameras
Problems Solved: - Enhances audio-visual synchronization - Improves subject identification in images
Benefits: - Enhanced image and sound capture - Improved accuracy in identifying subjects - Streamlined data collection process
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Audio-Visual Capture Technology for Surveillance Systems This technology can be used in security systems, photography equipment, and surveillance cameras to improve audio-visual synchronization and subject identification, leading to more accurate data collection and analysis in various industries.
Prior Art: Prior research in audio-visual synchronization technologies for surveillance systems and photography equipment can provide insights into similar innovations in the field.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in audio-visual synchronization technologies for surveillance systems and photography equipment to enhance subject identification and data collection processes.
Questions about Image Capture Apparatus: 1. How does the selection unit determine which sound transmission device to choose based on the subject's feature information? The selection unit compares the feature information of the subject with comparison information to select the sound transmission device that corresponds to the subject as the shooting target. 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this technology in surveillance systems and photography equipment? Implementing this technology may require integration with existing systems and ensuring compatibility with different devices to achieve seamless audio-visual synchronization.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image capture apparatus comprises a detection unit that detects a radio signal, an extraction unit that extracts feature information of a subject from image data, a selection unit that selects a sound reception device that receives sound data from at least one sound transmission device from which the radio signal can be received, and a reception unit that receives, by a wireless communication unit, sound data from the selected sound transmission device selected by the selection unit. Based on a result of comparing feature information of a subject as a shooting target with comparison information for selecting the sound transmission device, the selection unit selects the sound transmission device that transmits sound data corresponding to the subject as the shooting target from at least one sound transmission device from which the radio signal can be received.
