Image Texture Control via Reflective Property Adjustment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current image processing technologies fail to effectively reproduce texture in videos, limiting the realism of objects and environments, even with enhancements in contrast and subtlety.
Innovation Solution
An image processing apparatus that acquires user operation information and physical property parameters to control the texture of objects in real-time, adjusting reflective properties, geometry, and viewpoint, while also generating additional information to adjust the viewing environment, thereby recreating a more realistic and immersive visual experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If basic image quality enhancement techniques (contrast or subtlety adjustment) are used, then image quality is improved, but texture realism is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting multiple image parameters simultaneously including contrast, subtlety, and specifically reflective property intensity based on user operation information. This comprehensive parameter adjustment approach transforms basic image quality enhancement into realistic texture reproduction by dynamically modifying how light interacts with objects in the image.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by making the image processing adaptive and dynamic rather than static. The texture control unit continuously adjusts image parameters based on real-time user operation information such as viewing angle, distance, and environmental conditions, allowing the texture realism to evolve and respond to changing viewing conditions.
2Reliability
If user operation information acquisition and real-time texture control are implemented, then texture realism is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing the texture control unit to perform multiple functions: acquiring user operation information, analyzing viewing conditions, adjusting multiple image parameters (contrast, subtlety, reflective properties), and generating additional information for viewing environment adjustment. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require separate systems into a single integrated unit.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by using user operation information acquired during image display to continuously adjust texture parameters. The system creates a closed-loop control where viewing conditions are monitored and reflected back into real-time parameter adjustments, enabling adaptive texture realism without requiring complex pre-computation or multiple processing passes.

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to an image processing apparatus and method capable of reproducing texture as if objects are actually present. An operation environment information analysis unit acquires and analyzes user's operation environment information for an image while the image is being displayed. The operation environment information analysis unit supplies the analyzed operation environment information as operation environment parameters to a property control unit. The property control unit causes an image combination unit to conduct texture control depending on visual environment parameters or operation environment parameters, thereby optimizing the texture control. The present disclosure is applicable to image processing apparatuses, for example.
