Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional digital zoom methods for security surveillance videos lose clarity when amplifying local details, failing to provide a clear display of local details in security scenes.

Innovation Solution

An image processing method that selects a target region in real-time video images, separates static and dynamic images using a matting algorithm, and applies super-resolution processing to enhance the resolution of the target images, allowing for clearer display of local details by superimposing static and dynamic images.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Area of moving object

If traditional digital zoom methods are used to amplify local details in security surveillance videos, then the magnification of local regions is achieved, but the clarity of the displayed details is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnification of local regionVSAvoidclarity of local details
Core Design Contradiction:
Area of moving objectVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the video processing into three distinct components: static image extraction, dynamic image extraction, and super-resolution processing. By separating these functions, the system can apply different processing strategies to different parts of the image, maintaining clarity while achieving magnification. The static and dynamic images are processed independently and then combined, resolving the contradiction between magnification and clarity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary extraction of static and dynamic images from the video frames before applying super-resolution processing. This preliminary segmentation allows the super-resolution algorithm to work on pre-processed components, improving the effectiveness of the magnification process and preserving detail clarity that would be lost in traditional direct digital zoom methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If super-resolution processing is applied to the entire image, then the resolution of the whole image is improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresolution of imageVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies super-resolution processing selectively only to the extracted static and dynamic image components rather than the entire video frame. This localized approach maintains high resolution where needed (in the target region of interest) while reducing processing time and computational resources for the rest of the image, effectively resolving the contradiction between image resolution and processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of applying full super-resolution processing to the entire image, the patent uses partial action by processing only the extracted static and dynamic components. This partial processing approach achieves sufficient resolution improvement for the critical regions while avoiding the excessive computational burden of processing the complete image, balancing quality and efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
