Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for modifying labeled content to match dynamically captured content from different capture devices are inefficient, as they require expensive manual labeling and do not account for variations in resolution, distortion, and feature recognition across different capture devices.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method that uses physical computer processors to modify labeled target content by cropping, rotating, and warping facial features to match dynamically captured content, generating facial features using bounding boxes and visual effects, and displaying representations of faces on a graphical user interface.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual labeling is used to label facial features in target content, then labeling accuracy is improved, but time consumption and cost increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelabeling accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system captures facial feature data from a first capture device and uses it to automatically label corresponding facial features in target content from a second capture device. This copying approach replaces manual labeling with automated data transfer and processing, significantly reducing time consumption while maintaining labeling accuracy through the use of captured reference data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-labeling by automatically identifying and labeling facial features in target content using captured facial data as reference. The automated processing eliminates the need for human annotators to manually label each image, allowing the system to serve itself in the labeling task while preserving accuracy through sophisticated image processing algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If different capture devices are used to capture facial content, then device versatility is improved, but distortion and resolution variations increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice versatilityVSAvoiddistortion consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system captures facial feature data including position, shape, and size parameters from a first capture device, then uses these parameters to guide the labeling process for target content from a second capture device. By dynamically adjusting labeling parameters based on captured reference data, the system adapts to variations between different capture devices while maintaining consistent and accurate facial feature identification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If automated processing is used to generate facial features, then productivity is improved, but measurement precision may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidfeature recognition accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses captured facial feature data as an intermediary reference to bridge automated processing and accurate feature identification. The captured data serves as a mediator that guides the automated labeling process, ensuring that even though processing is automated, the feature recognition accuracy is maintained by comparing against the captured reference data during the labeling process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
