Solution Overview

Problem

Current AI technology is ineffective in generating images for pets, as it fails to account for the unique facial and physical characteristics of different pet species and breeds, and requires multiple high-quality images and lengthy training times.

Innovation Solution

A method involving pre-trained plug-ins, such as pet head and full body portrait plug-ins, to process image features and interact with an image generation model, allowing for the generation of pet images based on user input text and a single pet image, without the need for extensive user-provided image datasets or lengthy training processes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If current AI technology is used to generate pet images, then general image generation capability is available, but the unique facial and physical characteristics of different pet species and breeds cannot be captured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of pet characteristicsVSAvoidapplicability to different pet species
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the image processing into specialized plug-ins for different pet types (e.g., dog head portrait plug-in, cat full body portrait plug-in). Each plug-in is trained specifically for certain pet species or breeds, allowing the system to capture unique characteristics of different pet types while maintaining a unified generation framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The plug-ins are pre-trained on datasets containing images of specific pet species or breeds before actual image generation. This preliminary training enables the plug-ins to learn and store the unique facial and physical characteristics of different pets, which are then applied during the generation process without requiring retraining for each new pet image.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple high-quality images are used for training to improve pet image generation quality, then image accuracy improves, but training time and operational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality of generated pet imageVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The plug-ins are pre-trained on comprehensive datasets of specific pet species or breeds in advance. This preliminary training action stores the unique characteristics of different pets within the plug-in parameters, allowing the system to generate high-quality pet images without requiring extensive training each time a new pet image is generated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses a single user-provided pet image as input, and the pre-trained plug-ins copy and apply the learned characteristics from their training datasets to generate the target pet image. This avoids the need for the user to provide multiple high-quality training images, reducing operational complexity while maintaining generation quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Manufacturing precision

If extensive training datasets are required for accurate pet image generation, then generation accuracy improves, but device complexity and operational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of pet feature representationVSAvoidcomplexity of training process
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the complex training task into separate, specialized plug-ins for different pet types. Each plug-in is trained on specific datasets for certain species or breeds, simplifying the overall training process while maintaining high accuracy for each pet type through specialized processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The training process is performed in advance to pre-train the plug-ins with comprehensive datasets. This preliminary action transfers the complexity of data processing and model training to the preparation phase, allowing the actual image generation to proceed with minimal complexity and no additional training requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method for generating a pet image is disclosed, the method including: obtaining a first text input by a user and a to-be-processed pet image input by the user, where the first text indicates a requirement for a to-be-generated target pet image, and the to-be-processed pet image includes a target pet for generating the target pet image. The first text is input into an image generation model. The image generation model includes a pre-trained first plug-in, and an image feature of the to-be-processed pet image is input into the first plug-in. The first plug-in may process the image feature. The image generation model may process an input text. In addition, the image generation model may interact with the first plug-in to generate the target pet image.
