DISPLAY SYSTEM AND DISPLAY METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240015374 titled 'DISPLAY SYSTEM AND DISPLAY METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a display method that involves acquiring a visible light image of a first target and an infrared image of a second target. The method calculates the distance from the imaging devices to the targets in partitioned areas of the images and determines if there is a significant difference between the visible light distance and the infrared distance. If the difference exceeds a threshold, the method combines the partitioned area with the visible light image for display.

  • The method involves acquiring both visible light and infrared images of different targets.
  • The distances from the imaging devices to the targets are calculated for partitioned areas in each image.
  • A comparison is made between the visible light distance and the infrared distance for each corresponding partitioned area.
  • If the difference between the distances exceeds a threshold, the partitioned area is combined with the visible light image for display.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology could be used in surveillance systems to enhance the detection and identification of targets by combining visible light and infrared imaging.
  • It could be applied in medical imaging to provide more accurate and detailed information by combining visible light and infrared images.

Problems Solved:

  • The method solves the problem of accurately determining the distance to targets in both visible light and infrared images.
  • It addresses the challenge of combining different types of imaging data to improve target detection and identification.

Benefits:

  • By combining visible light and infrared images, the method provides a more comprehensive and detailed representation of the targets.
  • It enhances the accuracy and reliability of distance calculations for improved target analysis.
  • The method improves the overall effectiveness and efficiency of imaging systems by integrating multiple imaging modalities.


Original Abstract Submitted

a display method includes: acquiring a visible light image of a first target captured by a visible light imaging device; acquiring an infrared image of a second target captured by an infrared imaging device; calculating a visible light distance from the visible light imaging device to the first target for each of first partitioned areas defined in the visible light image; calculating an infrared distance from the infrared imaging device to the second target for each of second partitioned areas defined in the infrared image to correspond to the first partitioned areas; determining whether a difference between the visible light distance and the infrared distance is larger than a threshold for one of the first partitioned areas and one of the second partitioned areas corresponding to each other; combining the second partitioned area in which the difference is larger than the threshold with the visible light image to be displayed.
