Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image processing technologies using augmented reality (AR) brushes fail to produce authentic and aesthetic effect images, as they do not consider actual factors, resulting in a poor user experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for processing an effect image by obtaining an image, determining a brush model corresponding to the image, and rendering a line in the brush model based on drawing parameters to produce an effect image consistent with actual drawing effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If AR brushes are used to add effects during video shooting, then the video shooting process is simplified and fun is enhanced, but the rendered effects deviate greatly from actual images and lack authenticity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo shooting processVSAvoideffect rendering accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the rendering parameters by introducing drawing parameters (pressure sensitivity, brush size, color depth) that dynamically adjust based on actual image characteristics. This allows the effect rendering to accurately reflect real-world sugar painting effects while maintaining ease of use through automated parameter adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms by analyzing actual image characteristics (lighting, texture, subject matter) and using this information to adjust rendering parameters. This feedback loop ensures that the rendered effects remain authentic and aesthetically pleasing while simplifying the user operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If effects are added using fixed AR brush models, then the processing speed is maintained, but the effects fail to consider actual factors such as lighting and texture

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoideffect authenticity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary analysis of image characteristics (detecting lighting conditions, texture types, and subject matter) before rendering the effects. This preliminary action enables the system to pre-adjust rendering parameters to match actual factors, ensuring authenticity while maintaining efficient processing speeds through optimized rendering pipelines.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from fixed AR brush models to dynamic rendering that adapts to actual image characteristics. The rendering parameters are made dynamic, adjusting automatically based on detected lighting, texture, and subject matter, thereby improving effect authenticity without significantly impacting processing speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Device complexity

If simplified AR brush rendering is used, then the computational complexity is reduced, but the effect images lack aesthetic quality and authenticity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomputational complexityVSAvoideffect image quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by adjusting rendering parameters specifically for different regions and characteristics within the image. Different areas with varying lighting, texture, and subject matter receive customized rendering treatment, improving overall effect image quality while managing computational complexity through targeted processing rather than uniform treatment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes rendering parameters dynamically based on local image characteristics, allowing high-quality authentic effects to be rendered without excessive computational complexity. By adjusting parameters such as brush size, color depth, and pressure sensitivity locally, the system achieves aesthetic quality while maintaining reasonable computational requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
