Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image processing technologies face delays and inefficiencies in generating stylized images, particularly due to high computing resource requirements and mismatches between features in processed and original images, leading to poor processing effects.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for stylized image generation that involves determining initial pairing data, training a style model, processing original images to obtain style images, performing deformation processing to create target style images, and training a stylization conversion model using these images to reduce processing delays and improve feature matching.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If image processing is performed on a server using related algorithms, then stylized images can be obtained, but processing delay increases due to network transmission and server processing time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage processing effectVSAvoidprocessing delay
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the image processing function from the server and deploys it locally on the client device. The neural network model is split into multiple computing units that can process images locally, eliminating the need for continuous server communication and reducing processing delay while maintaining processing quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-processing and optimizing the neural network model before deployment. The model is converted into a lightweight format suitable for client-side execution, and necessary computations are prepared in advance to enable fast local processing without server round-trips.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If algorithms with greater computing resource requirements are deployed on a server, then more complex image processing can be achieved, but deployment on client devices becomes infeasible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage processing capabilityVSAvoidcomputing resource requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing the neural network model's structure and parameters for client-side deployment. The model is converted into a lightweight format with adjusted computational parameters that reduce resource requirements while preserving processing capability. This enables complex algorithms to run on devices with limited computing resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts the essential image processing functionality from the server environment and isolates it into a standalone neural network model that can execute locally. By taking out only the necessary computational core and removing dependencies on server infrastructure, the system achieves complex processing capability on client devices without requiring full server-grade resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Productivity

If standard image processing algorithms are used, then processing can be performed, but feature correspondence between processed and original images deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidfeature correspondence
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms within the neural network training process. The model learns to maintain feature correspondence by receiving feedback during training on how well it preserves original image features while applying stylization. This feedback-driven learning enables the model to achieve both processing efficiency and feature correspondence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses a composite approach by combining multiple processing functions into a single integrated neural network model. The model simultaneously performs stylization, feature preservation, and optimization tasks that would require separate algorithms otherwise. This composite structure improves both efficiency and feature correspondence by coordinating these functions within one unified system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
