Animal Face Image Processing via Segmentation and Local Quality
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current image processing technologies on smart terminals primarily focus on human faces, lacking the ability to perform detailed and flexible processing of animal faces, such as those of cats and dogs, which often require post-production efforts.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for processing animal face images, involving acquiring and recognizing animal faces, reading configuration files for image processing parameters, and applying these parameters to achieve specific effects like texture rendering or deformation, enabling flexible and efficient processing of animal faces within images or videos.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If overall processing is applied to animal images, then processing coverage is improved, but processing precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the animal image into multiple body parts (head, body, tail, limbs) and applies different processing parameters to each segment. The system identifies key points on the animal's body and divides the processing area into distinct regions, allowing precise control over each body part while maintaining comprehensive coverage of the entire animal.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality by applying different processing characteristics to different regions of the animal image. Each body part can have customized processing parameters (such as different magnification, rotation, or filtering), enabling high precision processing of specific areas while maintaining overall image coherence.
2Manufacturing precision
If post-production processing is used for detailed animal face processing, then processing precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by enabling users to directly process animal images through simple operations without requiring professional post-production skills. The system automatically identifies animal features, applies appropriate processing algorithms, and generates results with high precision through user-friendly interfaces and automated parameter selection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-configuring processing parameters and algorithms for different animal body parts. The system pre-identifies key anatomical features and prepares processing templates, so that users only need to initiate processing without needing to manually configure complex parameters or perform tedious manual editing.
3Adaptability or versatility
If specialized animal face processing is implemented, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements universality by creating a processing system that can handle multiple types of animals (cats, dogs, birds, etc.) and various body parts using a unified framework. The system uses general-purpose image processing algorithms combined with animal-specific feature detection, allowing one system to serve multiple functions across different animal species and processing requirements.
