Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image processing technologies do not allow users to adjust the effects in effect images or videos based on effect props, resulting in a monotonous display and inability to meet diverse editing needs.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for image processing that enable users to customize the relative distance between an effect contour line and a target object in an effect image, allowing for dynamic adjustment of the effect image content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a fixed effect contour line is displayed in the effect image, then the effect processing is simple and quick, but the display effect is monotonous and cannot meet diverse editing needs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffect customization capabilityVSAvoideffect processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The effect contour line is transformed from a fixed static element to a dynamic adjustable element. Users can drag the effect contour line to change its relative distance from the target object, allowing the effect to adapt to different editing needs while maintaining simple operation through direct manipulation interface.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The relative distance parameter between the effect contour line and the target object is made variable. By allowing users to adjust this parameter through dragging operations, the system provides diverse effect displays without requiring complex processing, as the adjustment is performed through simple parameter modification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If the effect contour line is fixed at a specific distance from the target object, then the processing is simple, but the user experience is limited and cannot meet diverse editing needs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffect adjustment operationVSAvoideffect customization information
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system allows users to directly manipulate the effect contour line through dragging operations, enabling self-service adjustment without requiring complex control interfaces. The user can independently adjust the effect to their preference, maintaining ease of operation while preserving full customization information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The effect contour line is pre-positioned at a default distance from the target object, providing an immediate usable effect. Users can then perform preliminary adjustments by dragging to customize the effect to their specific needs, combining simplicity with customization capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method, an apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium for image processing. The method includes: obtaining a target image to be processed in response to a first trigger operation, generating and displaying an effect image corresponding to the target image, the effect image including an effect contour line corresponding to a target object in the target image, the effect contour line being associated with an outer contour line of the target object, and a relative distance between the effect contour line and the outer contour line being a first distance; and in response to a second trigger operation input for the effect contour line, adjusting the relative distance between the effect contour line in the effect image and the outer contour line of the target object from the first distance to a second distance for display.
