Solution Overview

Problem

The existing method of using a solid color screen for live filming requires post-production synthesis, which is costly and time-consuming, and can lead to mismatches between on-site lighting and post-production lighting effects.

Innovation Solution

A data processing method that includes obtaining a target background resource, performing image quality optimization, and displaying it as a background for filming, eliminating the need for post-matting and synthesis, using a filming system with a server-side and terminal device for optimized background resources.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If post-production synthesis is used to replace solid color screen backgrounds, then the film result quality can be improved, but the production cost and time cost increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilm result qualityVSAvoidproduction time cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-rendering background images with embedded lighting information before filming. The lighting data is prepared in advance and integrated into the background resource, so that during filming, the terminal device can directly apply the pre-calculated lighting effects without requiring time-consuming post-production synthesis. This resolves the contradiction by performing the computationally intensive work beforehand, reducing both post-production time and cost while maintaining high film result quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If post-production synthesis is used to replace solid color screen backgrounds, then the film result quality can be improved, but the production cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilm result qualityVSAvoidproduction cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses copying by creating digital replicas of lighting information and embedding them into background images. Instead of expensive physical lighting setups and manual post-production matching, the system copies lighting data from reference images and integrates it digitally into the background resource. This digital copying approach maintains high film result quality while significantly reducing production costs by eliminating the need for complex physical lighting equipment and manual post-production work.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Ease of operation

If on-site filming with solid color screen is used, then the production process is simple, but the lighting effects do not match with post-production

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefilming process simplicityVSAvoidlighting effect matching
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary solution by embedding lighting information directly into the background image resource as metadata. This intermediary layer carries the lighting data from the reference image through to the terminal device during filming. The terminal device uses this embedded lighting information to apply accurate lighting effects on-site, eliminating the need for complex post-production matching while maintaining simplicity in the filming process. The intermediary lighting data bridge ensures both operational simplicity and lighting effect accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Embodiments of this application provide a data processing method, device, filming system, and computer storage medium. The data processing method includes: obtaining a target background resource to be displayed, where the target background resource includes an image resource and/or a video resource; performing image quality optimization on an image in the background resource according to reference information, where the reference information is used for indicating a situation in a background resource display process; displaying the background resource, to use the image in the background resource as a background for filming. During filming, a terminal device performs image quality optimization on an image in a background resource and then displays a background. This process does not require post matting and synthesis and reduces production costs and time costs. Moreover, on-site filming can ensure that the background matches with lighting effects of a real scene, thereby achieving a better film result.
