Multi-Frame Asset Compression via Path-Based Pixel Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current image manipulation software lacks the ability to convert multi-frame media assets, such as videos or panoramic views, into humorous or artistic single frame images effectively.
Innovation Solution
A method and electronic device that display a frame from a multi-frame asset and compress it into a single image based on the relation of pixel locations to a path on the display, by extracting and correlating pixel values from selected frames to generate a single image with humorous or artistic qualities.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multi-frame assets are processed using conventional image editing software, then basic image enhancement is achieved, but conversion to humorous or artistic single frame images is not possible
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the multi-frame asset processing into distinct operations: extracting individual frames, mapping pixel locations to path coordinates, and composite rendering. This segmentation enables the transformation of video or panoramic data into humorous single-frame images by processing each component separately and recombining them with artistic effects
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a path-based coordinate system that maps 2D pixel locations to curved paths, adding a spatial dimension transformation. This allows frames to be warped and distorted along custom paths, creating the humorous or artistic effects that conventional software cannot achieve
2Productivity
If pixel values are extracted and correlated from multiple frames, then a single compressed image is generated, but processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-defining the path geometry and pixel-to-path mapping relationships before actual image generation. This pre-processing step establishes the transformation framework, allowing subsequent frame extraction and composition to proceed efficiently without repeated complex calculations
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses pixel value copying and mapping from source frames to the target single-frame output. By extracting pixel data from multiple frames and copying it to corresponding locations along the path, the system efficiently generates the compressed image without requiring complex real-time processing of all original data

AI summary
The present techniques relate to transforming a multi-frame asset, such as a time-lapse video or panoramic view, into a single image. The technique generally involves displaying a frame from the multi-frame asset on a display, and compressing the multi-frame assent into a single image based on a relation of pixel locations on the display to a path disposed on the display.
