IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240177492 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image processing system with an imaging unit that captures images of both the inside and outside of a movable apparatus, and a display unit that shows these images.

  • Imaging unit includes an optical system with low distortion region for capturing images of the outer rear side of the movable apparatus.
  • Imaging unit is positioned to include the inside of the movable apparatus in its angle of view.
  • Display unit shows image signals of both the inside and outside of the movable apparatus.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in various industries such as automotive, surveillance, robotics, and entertainment for capturing and displaying images of both the inside and outside of movable apparatus.

Problems Solved

1. Allows for comprehensive monitoring and inspection of movable apparatus from both inside and outside. 2. Provides a clear and distortion-free view of the outer rear side of the apparatus.

Benefits

1. Enhanced safety and security through comprehensive imaging. 2. Improved maintenance and inspection processes. 3. Better user experience through clear and detailed display of images.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimized Imaging System for Movable Apparatus: Enhancing Monitoring and Inspection Processes
