Stroke-Guided Image Editing for Simple Local Image Changes
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional image processing software requires complex operations for creative image editing, making it inconvenient for users who are not familiar with the software.
Innovation Solution
An interaction method and apparatus that allows users to add strokes to a displayed image using operable controls to represent local areas for change, with a prompt displayed to indicate the modification target, and a second image generated based on the stroke and prompt, maintaining similarity to the original image in non-modified areas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If conventional image processing software is used for creative image editing, then image processing functions can be achieved, but the operation complexity increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic prompt generation and image processing without requiring users to manually configure complex parameters. The server automatically generates prompts based on user selections and executes the image processing, making the system self-sufficient and eliminating the need for users to understand complex software operations.
Solution Approach 2:
A server acts as an intermediary between the user and the image processing software. The user simply selects processing types and parameters through a simplified interface, and the server handles the complex prompt generation and image processing tasks, mediating between simple user input and complex processing requirements.
2Adaptability or versatility
If complex operations are performed to achieve individualized creation content, then creative processing can be completed, but the time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-generates multiple candidate prompts and stores them in advance. When a user requests image processing, the system selects from these pre-prepared prompts rather than generating them in real-time, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining creative processing capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameter representation from complex software commands to simple selectable categories. By transforming the input parameters into user-friendly selection options and handling the complex transformations on the server side, the system achieves fast processing with minimal user input time.

AI summary
Described is interaction image processing, including receiving a stroke added by a user to a displayed first image by using an operable control, where the stroke is used to represent a local area that needs to be changed in the displayed first image. A prompt corresponding to the stroke is displayed, where the prompt represents a modification target of the local area. A second image is generated based on the prompt, the stroke, and the displayed first image. The second image is displayed, where the second image presents the modification target in the local area and is identical to or similar to the displayed first image in a remaining area.
