Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video frame insertion algorithms struggle to support high-resolution videos due to hardware limitations in terms of power consumption and performance, and software-based solutions fail to optimize hardware resources effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus that processes high-resolution videos by reducing their resolution according to a target rule, performing frame insertion on the reduced videos using existing algorithms, and then restoring them to the original high-resolution format, utilizing video frame segmenting or redundant block compression techniques.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If hardware-based video frame insertion algorithm is used, then processing speed is improved, but it cannot support high-resolution videos due to power consumption and hardware performance limitations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the high-resolution video processing into two stages: first downsample the high-resolution video to a lower resolution that can be processed by existing hardware algorithms, perform frame insertion on the downsampled video, then upsample the result back to the original high resolution. This segmentation allows hardware algorithms to operate within their performance limits while still achieving high-resolution output.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary processing stage that uses software-based resolution adjustment to bridge the gap between hardware capabilities and high-resolution requirements. The intermediary downsampled video serves as a mediator that can be processed by existing hardware algorithms while preserving the ability to generate high-resolution output through subsequent upscaling.
2Adaptability or versatility
If software-based video frame insertion algorithm is used, then adaptability to high-resolution videos is improved, but hardware resources are not optimized effectively
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the resolution parameter of the video during processing. By temporarily reducing the resolution parameter for frame insertion processing and then restoring it, the system optimizes hardware resource utilization. The lower resolution intermediate processing requires fewer hardware resources, while the final high-resolution output is achieved through upscaling rather than processing at full resolution throughout.
3Use of energy by moving object
If video resolution is reduced for frame insertion processing, then hardware resource consumption is reduced, but video quality may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary downsampling to a lower resolution for frame insertion processing, completes the frame insertion operation, and then performs upsampling to restore the original high resolution. This preliminary action at reduced resolution enables hardware-efficient processing while the subsequent upsampling recovers the video quality, achieving both low resource consumption and high output quality.

AI summary
A video frame insertion method and apparatus and an electronic device. The method includes: in a case that resolution of a first video is greater than preset resolution, processing each video frame of the first video according to a target rule to obtain a second video, where resolution of the second video is less than or equal to the preset resolution; performing frame insertion processing on the second video to obtain a third video; and generating a fourth video according to the target rule and the third video, where resolution of the fourth video is equal to the resolution of the first video, and a quantity of frames in the fourth video is the same as a quantity of frames in the third video.
