Image Processing Masks for Realistic Prop Shielding
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing methods struggle to realistically simulate the shielding of prop images by target objects, particularly when the target objects have additional features like hair or clothes, leading to reduced realism and increased performance consumption due to reliance on 3D models.
Innovation Solution
The method employs a mask image of the target object to determine the position relationship with a prop image, allowing for realistic shielding effects by using a mask image that includes both structural and additional features, reducing the need for algorithm-driven 3D modeling.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If 3D models are used to simulate shielding of prop images by target objects, then the shielding effect can be achieved, but the performance consumption increases and additional features like hair or clothes cannot be properly simulated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a mask image (a 2D copy) to represent the target object's shielding characteristics instead of creating a full 3D model. The mask image captures the essential occlusion information including additional features like hair and clothes, providing a simplified yet effective representation that reduces computational overhead while maintaining shielding realism.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a lightweight mask image that can be quickly processed and discarded after use, replacing the computationally expensive 3D model. This disposable approach uses minimal resources to achieve the shielding effect without the performance burden of maintaining complex 3D structures.
2Reliability
If 3D models are used to simulate shielding of prop images by target objects, then the shielding effect can be achieved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex 3D modeling operations with a simple 2D mask image copy operation. The mask image serves as a straightforward representation that can be easily integrated into the image processing pipeline without requiring sophisticated 3D reconstruction algorithms or complex geometric computations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent substitutes the mechanical 3D modeling process with a simpler image processing operation. Instead of performing complex geometric computations and 3D transformations, the system uses 2D mask image operations to achieve the same shielding effect, thereby reducing device complexity.
3Reliability
If mask image is used to determine position relationship with prop image, then the shielding realism is enhanced, but the processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses the mask image as a direct copy of the target object's occlusion profile, which can be overlaid with the prop image using simple pixel-level operations. This approach maintains shielding realism by preserving the exact contours and additional features of the target object while avoiding complex processing through straightforward image composition techniques.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to an image processing method and apparatus, a device, a storage medium, and a program product. The image processing method includes: acquiring a mask image of a target object, wherein the target object is in a moving state or a static state, and a prop image is in a moving state; and displaying the target object and the prop image on the basis of a position relationship between the mask image of the target object and the prop image in response to the prop image having a shielding relationship with the target object during a moving process of the prop image.
