Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image correction technologies struggle to effectively address the specific needs of individual objects within an image, leading to suboptimal correction results.

Innovation Solution

A method and device that utilize a neural network to identify objects in an image and determine corresponding correction filters, allowing for personalized image correction based on the attributes of each object.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a single correction filter is applied to the entire image, then the correction process is simple and fast, but the correction precision for individual objects is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecorrection precisionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The image is segmented into multiple objects using object detection technology. Each object is identified and separated from the rest of the image, allowing for independent correction filter application. This segmentation enables precise correction for each object while maintaining system feasibility through automated processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different correction filters are applied to different objects based on their specific attributes and requirements. Each object receives a customized correction filter tailored to its characteristics, achieving local optimization of correction quality rather than uniform correction across the entire image.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple correction filters are applied to different objects, then the correction precision for each object is improved, but the processing time and computational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecorrection precisionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Object detection and identification are performed in advance before correction filter application. The system pre-processes the image to identify all objects and determine appropriate correction filters, so that the actual correction process can proceed efficiently without delays during filter selection and application.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically detects objects, identifies their attributes, selects appropriate correction filters, and applies them without requiring manual intervention. This self-service approach reduces processing time by eliminating manual object identification and filter selection steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
