INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, PROGRAM, AND IMAGING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240161503 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, PROGRAM, AND IMAGING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that detects luminance changes in pixels of an imaging unit to identify events, and then adjusts the position of the optical image to detect events in non-detection regions.

  • Event detection unit detects luminance changes in pixels exceeding a preset threshold value.
  • Determination unit determines if no event is detected based on event detection information.
  • Movement control unit adjusts the position of the optical image to detect events in non-detection regions.
  • Event information generation unit creates event information with detection and movement details.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in surveillance systems, autonomous vehicles, and robotics for event detection and tracking.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of limited event detection range in imaging units by adjusting the position of the optical image.

Benefits

The system allows for wider event detection coverage, improving overall monitoring and tracking capabilities.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications include security systems, traffic monitoring systems, and industrial automation for enhanced event detection and tracking capabilities.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be motion detection systems in surveillance cameras that adjust the field of view based on movement.

Unanswered Questions

1. How does the system differentiate between different types of events based on luminance changes? 2. What is the response time of the system in adjusting the position of the optical image for event detection?


Original Abstract Submitted

an event detection unit detects, as an event, that a luminance change of a pixel in an imaging unit that photoelectrically converts an optical image indicating a subject exceeds a preset threshold value. a determination unit of an information processing unit - determines whether no event is detected on the basis of event detection information indicating a detection result of the event generated by the event detection unit . in a case where no event is detected by the determination unit , a movement control unit moves a position of the optical image indicating the subject in an imaging unit of the event detection unit so that an event can be detected in an event non-detection region. an event information generation unit generates event information including the event detection information and movement information regarding movement of the position of the optical image. therefore, it is possible to acquire event information indicating an event detection result for a wider region than before.
