IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM CAPABLE OF NOTIFYING USER OF BLUR INFORMATION, OR OF DISPLAYING INDICATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240202960 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD FOR IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM CAPABLE OF NOTIFYING USER OF BLUR INFORMATION, OR OF DISPLAYING INDICATOR

The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that can notify a user of the possibility that blur information of a desired subject has not been acquired or display an indicator at a position with good visibility.

  • Detection unit identifies a subject from an LV image.
  • Display control unit shows an indicator of blur information on the subject detected.
  • Indicator is superimposed on the LV image based on detection region and subject information.
  • Control of the indicator in the LV image is based on first and second information related to the detection region and subject.

Potential Applications: - Photography and videography industries for ensuring image quality. - Medical imaging for detecting clarity issues in scans. - Surveillance systems for identifying potential blurriness in footage.

Problems Solved: - Alerts users to potential blur issues in real-time. - Enhances the quality of images and videos. - Improves overall user experience in capturing clear visuals.

Benefits: - Prevents the capture of blurry images or videos. - Increases efficiency in identifying and correcting blur issues. - Enhances the overall quality of visual content.

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Image Quality Assurance System for Photography and Surveillance" This technology can be used in cameras, smartphones, medical imaging devices, and security cameras to ensure clear image and video capture, leading to improved user satisfaction and market competitiveness.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the detection unit identify a subject in the LV image? 2. What are the specific benefits of displaying an indicator of blur information on the subject detected?


Original Abstract Submitted

an image processing apparatus capable of notifying a user of the presence of a possibility that blur information of a desired subject has not been acquired or of displaying an indicator at a position with good visibility is provided. the image processing apparatus includes one or more processors and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the apparatus to function as a detection unit that detects a subject from an lv image, and a display control unit that displays an indicator indicating blur information on the subject detected by the detection unit so as to be superimposed on the lv image. the display control unit controls a display of the indicator in the lv image based on first information related to a detection region in which the detection unit detects the subject and/or second information related to the subject detected by the detection unit.
