Image Editing Apparatus for Smooth Slow-Motion Reproduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image editing and reproduction technologies face challenges in achieving smooth slow-motion reproduction of moving images, especially under conditions of narrow transmission bandwidth or small storage capacity, while maintaining real-time normal reproduction and ease of operation.
Innovation Solution
An image editing apparatus that generates moving image data for normal and special reproduction, with the latter having a higher frame rate for specific sections, and associates these data sets with identification information for efficient transmission and reproduction, allowing for flexible frame rate adjustment and compatibility with different optical properties and resolutions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If moving images are generated at a higher frame rate to achieve smooth slow-motion reproduction, then the quality of slow-motion reproduction is improved, but the transmission bandwidth requirement increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the moving image data into multiple sections, identifying portions suitable for slow-motion reproduction. Instead of processing the entire video at high frame rate, only selected segments are extracted and processed, reducing overall data transmission requirements while maintaining smooth slow-motion quality where needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies different processing qualities to different parts of the video content. High frame rate data is generated and transmitted only for sections identified as suitable for slow-motion reproduction, while other sections use standard frame rate. This localized approach optimizes bandwidth usage by providing high quality only where necessary.
2Manufacturing precision
If moving images are generated at a higher frame rate to achieve smooth slow-motion reproduction, then the quality of slow-motion reproduction is improved, but the storage capacity requirement increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the video content to identify only those portions that benefit from slow-motion reproduction. By storing high frame rate data only for selected segments rather than the entire video, the storage capacity requirement is significantly reduced while maintaining high quality slow-motion reproduction where applicable.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality enhancement by storing high frame rate data only in specific sections of the video where slow-motion reproduction is desirable. Other sections use standard frame rate storage, optimizing the balance between storage capacity and reproduction quality.
3Manufacturing precision
If moving images are generated at a higher frame rate to achieve smooth slow-motion reproduction, then the quality of slow-motion reproduction is improved, but the communication cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments video content to identify portions suitable for slow-motion reproduction and processes only those segments at high frame rate. This selective approach reduces the total amount of high frame rate data that needs to be transmitted, thereby lowering communication costs while maintaining high quality slow-motion reproduction for relevant segments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies high frame rate processing locally to specific video sections rather than globally to the entire video. This localized quality enhancement minimizes the communication overhead associated with high frame rate transmission while ensuring smooth slow-motion reproduction only where the content warrants it.
