Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image processing technologies face challenges in efficiently comparing the quality of different images, particularly in maintaining content integrity while allowing for flexible and convenient quality comparisons.

Innovation Solution

The method involves segmenting a display region with a segmentation line to display partial images from two to-be-displayed images on opposite sides, using different encoding manners but maintaining the same content in the synthesized image, and allowing for flexible adjustment of the segmentation line and region-of-interest selection.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the entire display region is used to show a single image, then the image content is complete and intact, but the ability to compare multiple images simultaneously is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage comparison capabilityVSAvoidimage content integrity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The display region is divided into multiple sub-regions by a segmentation line, allowing different images or different portions of images to be displayed simultaneously in each sub-region. This segmentation enables multi-image comparison while maintaining the completeness of each individual image content within its designated area.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Adaptability or versatility

If the segmentation line is fixed, then the layout is simple and stable, but the flexibility to adjust comparison regions is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveregion adjustment flexibilityVSAvoidsegmentation control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The segmentation line is designed to be movable rather than fixed, allowing users to dynamically adjust its position to change the division of the display region. This dynamic adjustment capability enables flexible customization of comparison regions while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through the use of a single adjustable segmentation line.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Productivity

If different encoding manners are used for different images, then the encoding efficiency can be optimized for each image, but the content consistency between images is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveencoding efficiencyVSAvoidcontent consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

Different encoding manners are applied to different images or different regions based on their specific characteristics and requirements. Each region can be optimized with the most suitable encoding method while the system maintains content consistency through the segmentation framework that allows for controlled comparison and synthesis of the differently encoded regions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

Provided are an image processing method, an electronic device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The implementation includes that: a segmentation position of a segmentation line in a display region is determined, a first partial image extracted from a first to-be-displayed image is displayed on a first side of the segmentation line according to the segmentation position, and a second partial image extracted from a second to-be-displayed image is displayed on a second side of the segmentation line according to the segmentation position, where the encoding manner of the first to-be-displayed image is different from that of the second to-be-displayed image; and the content of a synthesized image synthesized by the first partial image and the second partial image is the same as the image content of the first to-be-displayed image and the content of the synthesized image is the same as the image content of the second to-be-displayed image.
