Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image processing methods for special effects often result in poor display effects due to inaccurate application of special effects on target objects, leading to a mismatch between the special effects and the target objects.

Innovation Solution

An image processing method and apparatus that utilizes a pre-trained stylization model to accurately determine key point information of a target object, enabling deep coupling of image stylization with key point detection to improve the matching between the target task and the key point information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If images are stylized using traditional special effect processing methods, then special effect images can be obtained, but target objects in the images become deformed and key point detection accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespecial effect image generationVSAvoidkey point detection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing key point detection on the original image before stylization occurs. The method detects key points in the input image, uses these detected key points to guide the stylization process, and then performs inverse composition to ensure the final stylized image maintains accurate key point positions. This preliminary detection and guidance mechanism prevents the deformation that would otherwise occur during stylization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If special effect tasks are applied to stylized images without accurate key point detection, then special effect processing can be completed, but the matching between special effects and target objects deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespecial effect processing efficiencyVSAvoidspecial effect matching accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by using the detected key point information to guide and adjust the special effect application process. The method detects key points, uses this information to control where special effects are applied, and ensures that special effect elements are precisely positioned on or near the detected key points. This feedback loop between detection and application ensures high matching accuracy while maintaining processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Ease of operation

If traditional image stylization methods are used, then image processing can be completed, but the coupling between stylization and key point detection is weak, leading to poor task matching

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage processing operationVSAvoidstylization-key point detection coupling
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies merging by integrating key point detection and stylization into a unified processing framework. The method combines the detection module, control module, and stylization module into a coordinated system where key point detection results directly control the stylization process. This merging creates strong coupling between detection and stylization, improving both adaptability and task matching while maintaining ease of operation through automated integration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)
