Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image special effect processing methods often result in unsatisfactory outcomes when applied to whole images, particularly when effects are applied to regions other than their intended targets, leading to strange or unappealing results.

Innovation Solution

An image special effect processing method and apparatus that determines a target display region, either foreground or background, for special effect objects based on the location of a target object in an initial image, and displays the effect only within that region to achieve a more focused and effective application.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If special effect is applied to the whole image, then the special effect can be displayed comprehensively, but the result becomes strange and unsatisfactory when the effect should be localized to specific regions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespecial effect application flexibilityVSAvoidspecial effect positioning accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the image into multiple display regions (first display region and second display region) and applies different special effects to each region. This segmentation allows the special effect to be applied comprehensively across the image while maintaining precise control over where each effect appears, resolving the contradiction between comprehensive coverage and precise positioning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different quality characteristics to different regions of the image by displaying different special effects in different display regions. This allows each region to have the appropriate special effect treatment, achieving both comprehensive special effect application and precise regional control simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Area of stationary object

If special effect object is displayed in the whole image, then the coverage is complete, but the visual result becomes strange when the effect should be focused on specific areas

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespecial effect display areaVSAvoidvisual effect quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of stationary objectVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the display area into multiple distinct regions and assigns different special effect objects to different regions. This ensures complete coverage of the image while maintaining focused, appropriate effects in each specific area, thereby preserving visual effect quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different special effect objects with appropriate characteristics are applied to different display regions based on the local requirements of each region. This local quality approach ensures complete image coverage while maintaining high visual quality by avoiding inappropriate effect placements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

The present disclosure discloses an image special effect processing method and apparatus, an electronic device and a computer-readable storage medium. The method includes: in response to an instruction for adding a special effect object on an initial image, determining a target display region of the special effect object on the initial image, where the target display region is a foreground region or a background region of the initial image, the foreground region is an image region where a target object is located in the initial image, and the background region is an image region other than the foreground region in the initial image; and displaying a part of the special effect object located in the target display region on the initial image to obtain a target image.
