SZ DJI Technology has been granted a patent for an image presentation method that combines visible-light and infrared images. The method involves size-processing the first image based on target resolution and aspect ratios, generating a presenting image by combining the size-processed first image and the second image, and encoding and transmitting the presenting image to a display device. The presenting image has a resolution that meets the requirements of the display device and ensures that the images do not block each other.

A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11778338B2) describes an image presentation method that involves obtaining a visible-light image and an infrared image, both captured by different image sensors. The method includes size-processing the visible-light image based on a target resolution and the aspect ratio of the images. This size-processing involves cropping the visible-light image to match the aspect ratio of the infrared image and then adjusting the cropped image to the target resolution. The size-processed visible-light image is then combined with the infrared image to generate a presenting image. The presenting image has a resolution that meets the requirements of a display device and ensures that the size-processed visible-light image and the infrared image do not block each other. The presenting image is then encoded and transmitted to the display device.

The patent also covers an image acquisition apparatus and a terminal device that implement the image presentation method. The image acquisition apparatus includes a visible-light image sensor, an infrared image sensor, a processor, and a memory. The processor executes instructions stored in the memory to obtain the visible-light image and the infrared image, size-process the visible-light image, generate the presenting image by combining the size-processed visible-light image and the infrared image, and encode and transmit the presenting image to the display device.

Similarly, the terminal device includes a processor and a memory that stores instructions for executing the image presentation method. The terminal device obtains the visible-light image and the infrared image, size-processes the visible-light image, generates the presenting image by combining the size-processed visible-light image and the infrared image, and encodes and transmits the presenting image to the display device.

Overall, this patent describes a method and devices for presenting images captured by different sensors, specifically visible-light and infrared sensors. The method ensures that the images are appropriately size-processed, combined, and presented without blocking each other, providing an improved image presentation experience.
