Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for generating high-quality transition videos face challenges in achieving semantic consistency, high fidelity, smoothness, and alignment with text prompts, often relying on self-collected datasets and requiring time-consuming training, leading to discontinuous and abrupt transitions.

Innovation Solution

A method involving a pre-trained image-to-video diffusion model that generates transition frames by leveraging latent noises derived from start and end frames, using latent noise interpolation and low-rank adaption, and text embeddings to improve smoothness and alignment without additional training.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If existing methods are used to generate transition videos, then the generation process can be performed, but the transitions are discontinuous and abrupt, lacking smoothness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransition smoothnessVSAvoidtransition fidelity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The method performs preliminary encoding of start and end frames into latent representations before generating transition frames. This pre-processing establishes a structured latent space that guides the diffusion model to produce smooth transitions while maintaining fidelity to the original frames.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces latent representations as an intermediary between the input frames and the diffusion model. These latent codes serve as a bridge that captures essential features while enabling smooth interpolation, resolving the contradiction between smoothness and fidelity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If self-collected datasets and training are used, then model customization is achieved, but the process is time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel customizationVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The method copies the latent encoding architecture from pre-trained models and applies it to new frame pairs without full retraining. This allows customization for different video transitions while avoiding the time-consuming training process, achieving both adaptability and efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes pre-trained models that have already learned general video representation patterns. This preliminary training phase is performed once, and the learned representations can be applied to multiple transition video generation tasks, reducing repeated training time while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Manufacturing precision

If diffusion models are used for video generation, then high quality output is achieved, but semantic consistency and text prompt alignment are difficult to maintain

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo qualityVSAvoidsemantic consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The method incorporates feedback mechanisms where the latent representations of start and end frames guide the diffusion process. This feedback ensures that generated transition frames maintain semantic consistency with the original frames while preserving the high quality generation capabilities of the diffusion model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different quality requirements to different parts of the generation process. The latent encoding focuses on capturing semantic information, while the diffusion model focuses on generating high-quality visual details. This local specialization maintains both semantic consistency and video quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
