1Reliability

If three-dimensional convolution is used for stylization, then the three-dimensional structure can be processed, but the computational complexity increases and deformation issues occur during projection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestylization effectivenessVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the three-dimensional model processing into multiple two-dimensional projection views. Instead of applying complex 3D convolution directly to the volumetric data, the method projects the 3D model onto multiple 2D planes, applies style transfer independently to each projection, and then synthesizes the results. This segmentation reduces computational complexity while maintaining stylization effectiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the problem from three-dimensional space to two-dimensional space by projecting the 3D model onto 2D planes. This dimensionality reduction allows the use of standard 2D convolutional neural networks for style transfer, avoiding the computational burden of 3D convolution while preserving the essential visual features through multi-view projection and synthesis.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple two-dimensional projections into a unified three-dimensional stylized model. By processing the model from multiple viewing angles and synthesizing the results, the method maintains texture continuity across the 3D surface while benefiting from the simplicity of 2D processing. The synthesis step combines information from different projections to restore and maintain continuous textures.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs feedback mechanisms to maintain texture continuity during projection and synthesis. The spatial feature parameters extracted from multiple projections are used to guide the synthesis process, ensuring that the final stylized model maintains consistent textures across different views. The feedback from multiple projections helps correct deformation issues and preserve texture coherence.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-computing and storing spatial feature parameters from multiple projections before the actual style transfer synthesis. The spatial feature parameters, including depth information and viewing angles, are extracted and organized in advance, allowing the synthesis process to proceed more efficiently. This preliminary processing reduces the computational burden during the final synthesis stage.
