Solution Overview

Problem

Image rendering often experiences an overflow phenomenon, which affects the reliability and authenticity of the rendering result due to the lack of precise control over the rendering range.

Innovation Solution

An image processing method and apparatus that identifies a first object and a second object within a target image, generates a reference image with a mark to record the coverage area of the second object, and determines the area to be rendered based on this reference image, using a target material to constrain the rendering range.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional image rendering is performed without coverage area constraints, then rendering process is simple, but rendering overflow occurs affecting reliability and authenticity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of rendering resultVSAvoidcomplexity of rendering process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by generating a reference image with coverage area marks before the actual rendering process. This reference image pre-defines the valid rendering boundaries, allowing the rendering process to check against these pre-established constraints and prevent overflow, thereby improving reliability without significantly complicating the rendering workflow

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a reference image as an intermediary element between the target image and the rendering process. This reference image contains coverage area marks that act as a mediator to constrain the rendering range, enabling the rendering system to operate within defined boundaries and produce more reliable results

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If rendering range is not precisely controlled, then processing speed is fast, but rendering overflow reduces authenticity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthenticity of rendering resultVSAvoidimage processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by marking specific coverage areas in the reference image rather than constraining the entire image. This allows rendering to be precisely controlled only in the regions where coverage constraints are needed, maintaining processing efficiency while improving the authenticity of the rendering result through localized precision control

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Provided are an image processing method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method includes: identifying a first object to be rendered in a target image and a second object to which the first object belongs in the target image; generating a reference image including a mark based on the target image and the second object, the mark being used for recording a coverage area of the second object; determining an area to be rendered based on the reference image and the first object, the area to be rendered being located within the coverage area corresponding to the mark; and rendering the area by utilizing a target material to generate a rendering result. Through the process, the rendering range can be constrained when the first object is rendered based on the reference image including the mark generated by the second object to which the first object belongs, so that the reliability and authenticity of a rendering result are improved.
