APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM FOR CONTROLLING EXPOSURE OF IMAGING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18632153 titled 'APPARATUS, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM FOR CONTROLLING EXPOSURE OF IMAGING APPARATUS

The abstract of a patent application describes a control apparatus that instructs an imaging apparatus to transition its imaging range and specifies target values for brightness parameters in the new range.

  • The control apparatus outputs instructions to the imaging apparatus for transitioning its imaging range and setting target values for brightness parameters.
  • The transition is from a first range to a second range, with specific target values for each brightness parameter in the second range.
  • This technology allows for precise control over the imaging process to achieve desired brightness levels in different ranges.
  • The apparatus ensures consistent and accurate imaging results by specifying target values for brightness parameters.
  • By controlling the imaging range and brightness parameters, the apparatus can optimize image quality and consistency.

Potential Applications: - Medical imaging equipment - Surveillance cameras - Photography equipment - Industrial inspection systems

Problems Solved: - Inconsistent brightness levels in imaging - Lack of control over imaging range transitions - Difficulty in achieving desired image quality

Benefits: - Improved image quality - Consistent brightness levels - Enhanced control over imaging processes

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Control Apparatus for Imaging Devices" This technology can be used in various industries such as healthcare, security, photography, and manufacturing for precise imaging control and quality optimization. It can lead to better diagnostic accuracy, improved surveillance footage, and enhanced product inspection processes.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this control apparatus improve imaging quality compared to traditional methods? - This control apparatus allows for precise control over brightness parameters and imaging range transitions, resulting in consistent and accurate imaging results. 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this technology in industrial applications? - By optimizing imaging processes and ensuring consistent image quality, this technology can reduce the need for re-imaging and improve overall efficiency in industrial inspection systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

A control apparatus includes at least one processor performing operations as follows: outputting instruction information to an imaging apparatus, the instruction information including (a) an instruction to make a transition of a imaging range of the imaging apparatus from a first range to a second range, and (b) a target value of each brightness parameter at time of imaging in the second range.
