Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image composition technologies using 3D virtual scenes as backgrounds face challenges in integrating persons and scenes due to disproportionate proportions, leading to a jarring visual impression.

Innovation Solution

An image composition method that adjusts the position of a virtual camera in the 3D virtual scene to align with the real-world camera, using depth estimation and image segmentation to ensure proportional alignment between the person and the scene.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a 3D virtual scene is used as background, then the visual richness and integration with the person is improved, but the proportion alignment between the person and the scene deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevisual richnessVSAvoidproportion alignment
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the camera position parameter in the 3D virtual scene to match the depth distance of the real-world camera. By adjusting the virtual camera's position along the depth axis based on the person's distance from the real camera, the system achieves proper proportion alignment between the person and the 3D virtual scene background, resolving the disproportion issue while maintaining visual richness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If the camera position in the 3D virtual scene is not adjusted, then the processing speed is maintained, but the proportion alignment between the person and the scene deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidproportion alignment
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-calculating the ideal camera position in the 3D virtual scene based on the person's depth distance. The system determines the appropriate virtual camera position in advance and applies this transformation, achieving both proper proportion alignment and efficient real-time processing without requiring complex iterative adjustments

AI summary

An image composition solution, designed to correct the scale relationship between a person and a 3D virtual scene, is provided. The correction is achieved by adjusting the position of the virtual camera for capturing the person in the virtual world to match the position of the real-world camera. As a result, the disproportionate appearance of the person in the composite image, whether too large or too small, is eliminated, significantly enhancing the coherence and naturalness of the image.
