Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image rendering methods require multiple rendering channels, leading to low channel utilization, inefficient processing, and high memory occupation due to the generation and storage of intermediate images.

Innovation Solution

An image processing method and apparatus that utilizes a single rendering channel to process a style map, transform matrix, and speed field map, avoiding the generation of intermediate images by directly converting pixel coordinates and attributes using a style generative adversarial network (GAN) and texture offset simulation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If multiple rendering channels are used for image rendering, then the rendering quality can be maintained, but the channel utilization rate decreases and processing efficiency becomes low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverendering qualityVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple rendering channels into a single rendering channel by integrating the functions of style map rendering, transform matrix application, and speed field map processing. This consolidation maintains rendering quality while improving channel utilization rate and processing efficiency by eliminating the need for separate rendering passes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple rendering channels are used for image rendering, then the rendering quality can be maintained, but the memory occupation increases due to intermediate images

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverendering qualityVSAvoidmemory occupation
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and eliminates the need for intermediate images by directly processing the original image through a single rendering channel. Instead of generating and storing intermediate results from multiple rendering passes, the system computes the final rendered image in one pass, thereby reducing memory occupation while maintaining rendering quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Quantity of substance

If a single rendering channel is used for processing, then the memory occupation is reduced, but the rendering complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvememory occupationVSAvoidrendering complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the rendering process into distinct computational stages within a single rendering channel: style map generation, transform matrix application, and speed field map processing. By organizing these segments in a structured sequence with clear data flow, the system reduces rendering complexity despite using a single channel, making the process more manageable and efficient.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
