Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional digital media formats, such as 2D images and videos, are passive and lack mechanisms for comprehensive search and indexing, especially as the quantity of visual data increases, limiting their ability to reproduce memories and events with high fidelity and failing to provide interactive and immersive experiences.
Innovation Solution
The creation of multi-view interactive digital media representations that analyze spatial relationships between images and video with location information to generate immersive, interactive content, allowing users to control the viewpoint and providing metrics like a tilt count based on user navigation inputs, enabling efficient indexing and enhanced user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If traditional 2D flat images and videos are used, then the media format is simple and easy to display, but the user experience is passive and lacks interactivity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from traditional 2D flat images to multi-view 3D representations by capturing images from multiple camera angles and reconstructing them into three-dimensional models. This dimensional transformation enables users to interact with the content by rotating and exploring objects from different perspectives, thereby enhancing user interactivity while maintaining display compatibility
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic interaction by allowing users to rotate and manipulate 3D models in real-time through touch gestures. The system responds to user inputs by dynamically changing the viewing angle and orientation of the displayed content, transforming the static 2D display into an interactive 3D experience that adapts to user actions
2Quantity of substance
If the quantity of visual data increases, then more comprehensive search and indexing mechanisms are needed, but traditional 2D formats lack such mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the indexing parameters from traditional 2D spatial coordinates to 3D spatial relationships and object features. By extracting geometric properties, object boundaries, and spatial relationships from multi-view images, the system creates enriched index structures that enable efficient search and retrieval of visual data based on three-dimensional characteristics rather than flat coordinates
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments visual data into distinct 3D objects and their constituent features, creating organized index entries for each object and its properties. This segmentation approach breaks down large volumes of visual data into manageable, searchable units with defined attributes, facilitating efficient indexing and retrieval operations
3Adaptability or versatility
If multi-view interactive digital media representations are created, then user engagement and interactivity are improved, but the processing and storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates simplified 3D model representations that replicate the essential geometric features of objects from multiple 2D images. Instead of storing and processing all original high-resolution images, the system generates compact 3D model copies that preserve the interactive viewing experience while significantly reducing storage requirements and processing complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts key geometric features, spatial relationships, and essential visual information from multi-view images to construct 3D models. By taking out only the critical structural elements needed for interactive representation rather than processing complete image datasets, the system reduces computational burden while maintaining user engagement capabilities

AI summary
Various embodiments of the present invention relate generally to systems and methods for analyzing and manipulating images and video. According to particular embodiments, the spatial relationship between multiple images and video is analyzed together with location information data, for purposes of creating a representation referred to herein as a multi-view interactive digital media representation for presentation on a device. Once a multi-view interactive digital media representation is generated, a user can provide navigational inputs, such via tilting of the device, which alter the presentation state of the multi-view interactive digital media representation. The navigational inputs can be analyzed to determine metrics which indicate a user's interest in the multi-view interactive digital media representation.
