Solution Overview

Problem

When editing videos with multimedia materials of different color display standards, the synthesized video often exhibits visual discrepancies due to differing color spaces and brightness ranges, leading to suboptimal display effects and reduced user experience.

Innovation Solution

An image processing method and apparatus that aligns the color display standards of multimedia materials to a target standard by transferring non-target materials into the target standard using electro-optical and optical-optical transfer functions, followed by gamut mapping, ensuring consistent visual effects across the synthesized video.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multimedia materials of different color display standards are edited together, then the variety and richness of video content is improved, but visual consistency and display quality deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompatibility of different color standardsVSAvoidvisual consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms multimedia materials by changing their color space parameters from different color display standards (SDR, HLG, PQ) to a target color display standard. This involves converting electro-optical transfer functions and optical-optical transfer functions to achieve uniform color representation across all materials, thereby maintaining visual consistency while supporting diverse input formats

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a target color display standard as an intermediary reference frame. All multimedia materials with different color standards are converted to this intermediate target standard before synthesis, ensuring visual consistency. The target standard acts as a mediator that harmonizes the different color spaces without losing the characteristics of the original materials

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If color display standard transfer is performed on all multimedia materials, then visual consistency is improved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecolor space consistencyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs color standard transfer selectively rather than universally. It identifies multimedia materials that actually require conversion based on their source color standards and only applies transfer to those materials, avoiding unnecessary processing of materials that are already in the target format. This reduces overall processing time while maintaining color consistency where needed

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
