Progressive Processing Display

Application

Topic

Problem:

While processing an image, the user wants to see the results as quickly as possible, even if that means only seeing part of the image completed.

Example of an image being loaded in segments to provide clarity sooner — An example of progressive processing display using a progressive image upload, which shows a grid with different sections coming in clearer as the AI processes.

Solution:

The system processes and displays the image progressively, revealing greater detail or more sections as it is able to.

Discussion:

A pattern like this mitigates some of the issues around long processing times by providing an initial result in a shorter time, which ideally is enough of a preview for the user to choose to cancel if the output is undesirable. It also aids in transparency of operation by showing the algorithm in action rather than just the final output.
