Solution Overview

Problem

Reusing a pre-segmentation mask to segment a driven image in green screen image processing often leads to inaccuracies in the foreground extraction, resulting in poor segmentation effects due to misalignment of the target object's region in the driven image.

Innovation Solution

Fusing a pre-segmentation mask with a green screen image to create a composite image, determining a target region, driving the target part, and extracting the driven target part using pixels of the driven image and background region, rather than reusing the pre-segmentation mask directly.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If a pre-segmentation mask is reused to segment a driven image, then the processing efficiency is improved, but the segmentation accuracy deteriorates due to region misalignment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidsegmentation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The method performs preliminary action by fusing the pre-segmentation mask with the green screen image to create a composite image that integrates both the original segmentation information and the green screen data. This preliminary fusion prepares the data structure for subsequent accurate extraction of the driven target part, allowing the system to maintain efficiency while improving accuracy in the final segmentation step

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The composite image serves as an intermediary that bridges the pre-segmentation mask and the final driven image segmentation. By creating this intermediate representation that combines mask information with green screen image data, the system can accurately extract the driven target part without directly reusing the potentially misaligned pre-segmentation mask, thus resolving the accuracy-efficiency contradiction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If a pre-segmentation mask is reused for segmentation, then the computational complexity is reduced, but the segmentation quality deteriorates due to inclusion of background pixels and missing target pixels

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomputational complexityVSAvoidsegmentation quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The method extracts only the necessary components from the composite image and green screen image to create the driven target part segmentation. Instead of directly reusing the entire pre-segmentation mask, the system extracts specific pixel information from the driven image and green screen image, obtaining a precise segmentation that excludes background pixels and includes all target pixels without increasing overall computational complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The method changes the parameters used for segmentation by switching from directly reusing the pre-segmentation mask parameters to using pixel-based extraction from the composite image and green screen image. This parameter change allows the system to adapt to the driven image's actual content, improving segmentation quality while maintaining computational efficiency through targeted pixel processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
