Single-photo Generating Device for Group Image Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In social gatherings with multiple attendees, taking individual photos using electronic devices is time-consuming due to the need to capture and process images of multiple people efficiently.
Innovation Solution
A single-photo generating device and method that captures a group photo and uses image processing to extract human images, select a background, and generate individual single photos with the same size, allowing for efficient creation of separate images by recognizing facial and body parameters and tonality, and selecting appropriate background images.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If individual photos are taken for each person at a social gathering, then photo quality and personalization are improved, but time consumption increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the group photo into multiple individual human images by detecting and separating each person's body region. The processing device divides the original group photo into multiple candidate single photos, each containing one person extracted from the group photo, thereby enabling individual photo generation without retaking multiple photos.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary actions by capturing one group photo that contains all attendees, then processing it to generate multiple individual photos. This preliminary capture of comprehensive data (group photo) eliminates the need for sequential individual photo sessions, saving time while maintaining photo quality.
2Manufacturing precision
If multiple photos are captured to ensure quality individual shots, then photo quality is improved, but the complexity of the photo-taking process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The processing device extracts human images from the group photo by identifying body regions and separating them from the background. This extraction process automatically isolates each person without requiring manual positioning or multiple shots, simplifying the photo-taking process while ensuring quality through proper extraction algorithms.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-service by automatically detecting, segmenting, and generating individual photos from the group photo without user intervention. The processing device autonomously completes the complex tasks of human detection, body region identification, and photo generation, reducing operational complexity for the user.
3Adaptability or versatility
If individual photos are taken for each person, then personalization is improved, but the number of photos to be processed and stored increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the functionality of capturing multiple individual photos into a single group photo capture. By processing one group photo to generate multiple personalized individual photos, the system reduces the total number of photo files while maintaining personalization for each attendee.
