Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image processing methods lack pertinency, leading to suboptimal image quality due to uniform adjustment of brightness and chroma, deviating from human visual cognition.

Innovation Solution

An image processing method that identifies scenarios within an original image, extracts feature information including color, texture, and transform domain features, and applies corresponding enhancement methods to achieve optimal image display by converting between color spaces.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If uniform adjustment of brightness and chroma is applied to the entire image, then the processing simplicity is maintained, but the image quality and visual perception accuracy deteriorate due to lack of pertinency

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing simplicityVSAvoidimage quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The image is divided into multiple regions based on brightness and chroma characteristics. Each region is independently processed with appropriate enhancement methods, allowing differentiated treatment of different image areas while maintaining overall image quality and visual perception accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different enhancement strategies are applied to different regions of the image based on their specific characteristics. Bright regions use one set of processing parameters while dark regions use another, ensuring each area is enhanced appropriately without compromising overall image quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Manufacturing precision

If scene identification and multiple enhancement methods are applied, then the image quality and visual perception accuracy are improved, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage qualityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The image is pre-processed by dividing it into regions based on brightness and chroma characteristics before applying enhancement methods. This preliminary segmentation simplifies the subsequent enhancement process by organizing the image into manageable regions that can be processed systematically

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Different enhancement parameters are applied to different regions based on their brightness and chroma characteristics. By changing parameters locally rather than uniformly, the system achieves high image quality while managing complexity through parameter differentiation rather than structural complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
