Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image feature migration techniques do not allow users to control the migration effect in the migration result image, such as the intensity of face makeup transfer from a reference image to a target image.

Innovation Solution

An image processing method that involves obtaining target and reference features, using a migration matrix to control the fusion of these features at a designated weight, and generating a migration result image based on the fused features.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Extent of automation

If a fixed migration result image is obtained from a pre-trained image migration model, then the migration process is simple and automated, but the user cannot control the migration effect or adjust the intensity of feature transfer

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation of migration processVSAvoiduser control over migration effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the Dynamics principle by introducing a dynamic weight parameter that allows users to adjust the migration effect intensity. The system transitions from a fixed, static migration process to a dynamic one where the user can control the degree of feature transfer by modifying the weight parameter, enabling flexible adjustment between complete migration and partial migration effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements Parameter changes by incorporating a weight parameter that modifies the fusion between target features and reference features. By changing this parameter, the system can control the intensity of migration, allowing users to adjust the contribution of reference features to the final migration result image, thus achieving controllable migration effects.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Manufacturing precision

If the reference feature is completely migrated to the target image, then the migration effect is strong and noticeable, but the user cannot achieve partial migration or subtle integration effects

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of migration effectVSAvoidflexibility of migration intensity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies Parameter changes by introducing a weight parameter that controls the fusion ratio between target and reference features. This parameter enables precise control over migration intensity, allowing the system to produce subtle integration effects when the weight is low and strong migration effects when the weight is high, thus achieving both precision and versatility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system becomes dynamic through the adjustable weight parameter, transitioning from a fixed migration intensity to a flexible, controllable one. This allows the user to adapt the migration effect to different needs, achieving partial migration for subtle changes or complete migration for strong effects, thereby enhancing both precision and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If a pre-trained image migration model is used directly, then the implementation is straightforward and fast, but the migration effect lacks customization and user control

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed of migration processingVSAvoidcustomization of migration effect
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent maintains the efficiency of pre-trained models while adding customization through a weight parameter. The system remains fast by using the pre-trained model for feature extraction and migration, but gains adaptability by allowing users to adjust the weight parameter to control migration intensity, thus achieving both high productivity and customization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions from a static, fixed-effect migration process to a dynamic one where the weight parameter enables real-time adjustment of migration intensity. This maintains the speed advantage of automated processing while adding the flexibility for users to customize migration effects according to their specific needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
