Solution Overview

Problem

Existing multimedia editing software lacks the ability to create diverse and realistic image projection effects, particularly in the field of image processing, and the ability to generate realistic image processing, and the ability to generate realistic image projection effects, and the ability to generate realistic image processing, and the ability to generate realistic image projection effects.

Innovation Solution

An image processing method and apparatus that involves obtaining a first image and a second image, determining distortion information based on the first image, generating a mixed image, obtaining target edge information, and generating a target image based on the mixed image and edge information, using Gaussian blurring and light color adjustments to create a realistic projection effect.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If simple image overlay is used to project material onto first image, then processing speed is fast, but projection effect is unrealistic and lacks visual authenticity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprojection effect realismVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the projection effect into multiple processing stages: obtaining the first image and material, generating the second image with projection material, mixing the first and second images to create a mixed image, and generating the final target image with projection effects. This segmentation allows complex realistic effects to be achieved through manageable sequential steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary actions by obtaining depth information and edge information of the first image before generating the final projection effect. These pre-computed information layers are then used to guide the mixing and rendering processes, enabling realistic depth-aware projection without recalculating during final rendering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If uniform distortion is applied to all regions, then processing is simple, but projection effect does not match depth variations in the image

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedepth adaptation accuracyVSAvoiddistortion calculation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by using depth information to determine region-specific distortion parameters. Different regions of the image receive different distortion treatments based on their depth values, allowing the projection material to conform to the three-dimensional structure of the underlying image rather than applying uniform distortion across the entire image.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Reliability

If edge details are preserved without processing, then image sharpness is maintained, but projection effect lacks smooth transitions and visual blending

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveedge transition smoothnessVSAvoidedge sharpness
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the edge parameter by applying Gaussian blurring to the edge information of the first image. This transforms the edge characteristics from sharp discontinuities to smooth gradients, enabling realistic blending between the projection material and the underlying image while preserving the essential edge structure for accurate positioning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
