Spatial Effect Transition via Key Location Partitioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing digital image and video editing technologies lack the ability to apply effects in a non-uniform, transition-based manner across spatial dimensions, limiting the complexity and realism of edits, especially when scaling or transitioning between different parts of an image or video.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for editing digital images and videos based on key locations in one or more spatial dimensions, where parameter values are specified at key locations and interpolated between them to create smooth transitions, allowing for non-uniform effect application across partitions of the image or video.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If effects are applied uniformly with fixed parameters to the entire image or video sequence, then the operation is simple and fast, but the editing complexity and realism are limited
Solution Approach 1:
The image or video sequence is divided into multiple temporal partitions based on key locations. Each partition can have different effect parameters applied independently, enabling non-uniform effect application while maintaining manageable system complexity through automated partitioning
Solution Approach 2:
The effect parameters are made dynamic by allowing them to vary across temporal partitions. The system automatically transitions between different parameter sets for different partitions, enabling complex editing scenarios without manual intervention in each frame
2Manufacturing precision
If parameter values are specified at multiple key locations and interpolated between them, then smooth transitions and non-uniform effect application are achieved, but the operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Users specify parameter values at discrete key locations in advance. The system then automatically performs the interpolation and applies the effects across all intermediate frames, eliminating the need for manual parameter adjustment at every frame while achieving smooth transitions
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically handles the complex interpolation calculations and effect application between key locations without requiring user intervention. The automated process manages the complexity of transitioning between different parameter sets, making the operation simple for users while achieving precise control for the system

AI summary
A method, system, and computer-readable storage medium are disclosed for editing an image comprising a first spatial dimension and a second spatial dimension. Input specifying one or more key locations on a first spatial coordinate line may be received. The first spatial coordinate line may correspond to the first spatial dimension of the image, and boundaries for a plurality of partitions of the image may be determined by the one or more key locations on the first spatial coordinate line. Input specifying one or more respective parameter values for an effect at each of the one or more key locations on the first spatial coordinate line may be received. The effect may be automatically applied within each of the plurality of partitions of the image based on the one or more parameter values at the respective boundaries for each of the plurality of partitions.
