Solution Overview

Problem

Current image color adjustment methods provide a relatively single adjustment effect, failing to achieve color matching across different materials in an image, leading to a suboptimal display experience.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for image processing that allows users to select from multiple color processing categories, each containing color cards, to adjust the color of decoration materials in an image based on personalized preferences, enhancing the display effect.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional color adjustment methods are used to adjust image colors, then the adjustment process is simple, but the adjustment effect is single and cannot achieve color matching for different materials

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor adjustment effectVSAvoidprocessing system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the image into different material types (e.g., sky, water, vegetation, building) and applies different color adjustment strategies to each segment. The processing system is divided into: image segmentation module, material classification module, and differential color adjustment module, allowing tailored color matching for each material type while maintaining overall system manageability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements local quality by applying different color adjustment parameters and processing methods to different regions and material types within the image. Each material type receives customized color adjustment based on its specific characteristics, achieving localized optimal color matching rather than uniform global adjustment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple color processing categories with color cards are provided, then color adjustment versatility improves, but interface complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor processing optionsVSAvoidinterface usability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-categorizing color adjustment options into meaningful groups (e.g., brightness adjustment, saturation adjustment, hue adjustment) and pre-configuring color cards with optimized color schemes. This allows users to directly select from prepared options without needing to understand complex color theory or perform multiple adjustment steps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent organizes color processing options into multiple dimensions or categories (different adjustment types, different intensity levels, different material-specific presets). This dimensional organization allows users to navigate the complexity systematically by selecting from structured categories rather than facing a flat, overwhelming array of options

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

The embodiments of the disclosure provides methods, apparatuses, devices, computer readable storage medium and products for image processing. The method includes: displaying an image processing page, wherein the image processing page comprises an image to be processed and a predetermined processing control, and the image to be processed is composed of at least one image material and a decoration material; presenting a color processing page in response to a triggering operation on the processing control, wherein the color processing page comprises at least one color processing category, and at least some of the color processing categories comprise at least one color card composed of different colors; determining a target color card selected by a user in response to a selection operation on the color processing page; performing an adjustment operation on a color of the decoration material associated with the image to be processed based on the target color card to obtain a target image. The display effect of the adjusted target image can be optimized, and the color adjustment can better conform to the personalized requirement of the user.
