Image Processing Apparatus Artistic Deletion via Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional image processing systems lack artistic presentation effects during the deletion of hand-drawn images, making the delete operation monotonous and lacking in engagement for users.
Innovation Solution
An image processing program and apparatus that disassemble hand-drawn images into partial images, allowing for changes in display position and form, such as movement, resizing, rotation, color change, and transparency, when a delete operation is performed, providing a novel artistic presentation effect.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the hand-drawn image is processed as a whole during delete operation, then the deletion function is simple and efficient, but the artistic presentation effect is lost and the operation becomes monotonous
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the hand-drawn image into multiple partial images (first partial image and second partial image) and processes them differently during deletion. The first partial image undergoes artistic transformation (e.g., changing to wavy lines, pale colors) while the second partial image is deleted normally, thereby achieving both simple deletion functionality and artistic presentation effects simultaneously.
2Productivity
If the displayed image is deleted by changing line types and colors as a whole, then the deletion process is straightforward, but no artistic effect or event occurs in response to the operation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies different processing qualities to different parts of the image during deletion. Specifically, the first partial image receives artistic processing (wavy lines, pale colors) while the second partial image receives standard deletion processing, creating local variation in processing quality that delivers artistic effects without sacrificing overall deletion efficiency.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the entire input image is processed with artistic effects during deletion, then the artistic presentation is comprehensive, but the processing complexity and time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies artistic processing only to the first partial image rather than the entire image, representing a partial action approach. This selective application delivers artistic presentation effects while avoiding the excessive processing complexity and time that would result from applying the same effects to all image portions.

AI summary
Image generation means generates an input image corresponding to an output from a pointing device. Image display control means displays the input image generated by the image generation means on a display means. Image change control means disassembles the input image generated by the image generation means into a plurality of partial images, and changes at least one of a display position and a display form of each of the partial images.
