Remote image processing system with region of interest detection
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11991371B2) discloses a system and method for processing raw image data to identify regions of interest and compress them efficiently. The system includes a memory, processors, and a central computing system. The processors receive raw image data, perform domain transformations, detect regions of interest, and compress the data based on predetermined processes. The central computing system then analyzes the compressed data to identify elements of interest, such as faces, by performing full facial recognition if needed. The method involves receiving raw image data, performing domain transformations, detecting regions of interest, selecting compression processes based on data type, compressing the data, and transmitting it to the central computing system for further analysis and identification of elements of interest.
The system and method described in the patent aim to improve the efficiency of processing raw image data by selectively compressing regions of interest and maintaining important details, such as facial features, for accurate identification. By utilizing domain transformations and predetermined compression processes, the system can facilitate further analysis of the compressed data after decompression. Additionally, the method includes steps for handling remainder portions of the raw image data by either compressing them at a different level or discarding them, ensuring optimal use of resources. Overall, the patent highlights a comprehensive approach to image data processing, particularly in the context of identifying elements of interest like faces, showcasing advancements in image analysis technology.
