Color-Retained Video Effects Through Grayscale Region Segmentation

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing video processing technologies lack the ability to create diverse and engaging special-effect videos, limiting user experience and entertainment.

Innovation Solution

Perform grayscale processing on a video, segment regions in the grayscale video, determine a coloring order for these regions, and sequentially apply colors based on this order to generate a target video.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional video processing is used, then the video content is simple and straightforward, but the video lacks diversity and engagement

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevideo diversityVSAvoidprocessing complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The video is segmented into multiple image regions through region segmentation. Each region is then processed independently with different coloring orders, allowing diverse visual effects while maintaining manageable processing complexity through modular region-based operations

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies dynamic coloring orders where different image regions are colored in different sequences based on their spatial relationships and content characteristics. This dynamic approach creates engaging visual effects while adapting the processing complexity to the specific video content

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If region segmentation and sequential coloring are applied, then video engagement is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvevideo engagementVSAvoidprocessing time

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary region segmentation and determines coloring orders in advance before the actual coloring process. By pre-calculating the processing sequence based on spatial relationships and content analysis, the system optimizes processing time while maintaining high engagement levels through creative coloring arrangements

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of manufacture

If grayscale processing is performed first, then region segmentation is simplified, but color information is lost

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesegmentation easeVSAvoidcolor information loss

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of manufactureVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The video is segmented into multiple image regions through region segmentation. Each region is then processed independently with different coloring orders, allowing diverse visual effects while maintaining manageable processing complexity through modular region-based operations
