Album Color Harmonization via Frequency Analysis
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional album creation technologies often result in visually unharmonious color arrangements, particularly when images with light colors like sand beaches, oceans, and skies are combined with black maps, leading to user discomfort.
Innovation Solution
An album creating apparatus and method that analyzes the color arrangement of images, determines characteristic colors based on appearance frequency, and selects a color palette to harmonize the album's template with the image colors, ensuring visually appealing and harmonized color schemes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If conventional album creation technology is used with black maps and light-colored images, then the album can be created with basic functionality, but the color arrangement becomes visually unharmonious causing user discomfort
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies color changes by analyzing the color characteristics of images in the album and automatically adjusting the color arrangement of template elements (titles, backgrounds, frames) to harmonize with the image colors. This resolves the visual discomfort caused by unharmonious color combinations while maintaining ease of album creation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes color arrangement parameters by extracting color information from images and using it to determine appropriate colors for album template elements. This automatic parameter adjustment eliminates manual color matching while achieving visually harmonious results.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If manual color arrangement is implemented to achieve harmonious colors, then visual harmony is improved, but the complexity and time required for album creation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-service by automatically analyzing image colors and determining harmonious color arrangements without user intervention. The album creation apparatus extracts color information from images and autonomously selects appropriate colors for template elements, eliminating the need for manual color matching while achieving visual harmony.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual process of color selection with an automated image processing system. By using computer vision and color analysis algorithms, the system substitutes manual color arrangement operations with automated digital processing, reducing complexity while maintaining visual quality.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If automated color analysis is performed to determine harmonious color arrangements, then visual harmony is achieved, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial action by analyzing only the essential color characteristics of images rather than performing exhaustive color analysis. By focusing on key color parameters and using efficient color matching algorithms, the system achieves satisfactory color harmony without excessive processing time.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by pre-defining color palettes and harmony rules that can be quickly applied to images. Rather than performing complex real-time color analysis, the system uses pre-prepared color schemes that can be rapidly matched to image characteristics, reducing processing time while maintaining quality.
