Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional image retouching software is used to add effects to objects in images, then effects can be added to enhance video and photo content, but distortions of the limbs, face, and other body parts are likely to be caused, leading to poor effect addition

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffect addition capabilityVSAvoidfacial effect accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical image retouching operations with a deep learning-based attribute determination model. The model automatically identifies facial attributes (gender, age, expression, etc.) and applies appropriate effects, eliminating the need for manual retouching operations that cause distortions. The neural network processes images to generate target facial images with accurately matched effects without manual intervention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the processing parameters by using a trained attribute determination model with specific structural parameters (convolutional layers, fully connected layers, dropout rates) to transform input images into target facial images with modified attributes. The model adjusts parameters such as gender, age, and expression to apply effects that match the desired transformation while maintaining facial accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional image retouching methods are used, then effects can be applied to images, but the reality of the effect images is low and user experience is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveeffect applicationVSAvoideffect reality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual retouching mechanics with an automated deep learning system that determines facial attributes and applies effects realistically. The attribute determination model processes images through multiple neural network layers to generate target facial images with effects that closely match real-world appearances, significantly improving effect reality and user experience.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the attribute determination model is trained using training images and their corresponding target images. The model learns from the feedback of prediction errors and adjusts its parameters to improve accuracy. During operation, the model continuously refines its attribute determination based on the input image characteristics to produce realistic effect images.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
