Image Processing Device Multi-Composition Trim Box Generation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing image processing techniques struggle to provide suitable trim images without requiring inconvenient operations or advanced techniques, particularly for beginners, as they often result in compositions where the subject is centered, lacking variety and fun, and are not adaptable to different subject movements, backgrounds, or user preferences.
Innovation Solution
An image processing device and method that includes a recording control, trim box setting, and generation control to create multiple trim images by setting trim boxes based on the size and position of the subject area, allowing for various compositions without complex operations, and can adjust the number of trim boxes and their positions to suit the subject's size and facial expressions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a trim box is set to center the subject area in the trim image, then the subject positioning is simplified and consistent, but the composition variety is reduced and the images become less appealing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the single trim box approach into multiple trim boxes with different compositions. Instead of one centered trim box, the system generates multiple trim boxes with subjects positioned at different locations (center, left, right, top, bottom) to provide composition variety while maintaining ease of operation through automated generation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the trim box positioning dynamic by adjusting subject position based on detection results and composition rules. The system automatically determines optimal subject positions in different trim boxes rather than固定 at the center, allowing flexible adaptation to different subjects and scenarios while keeping the operation simple for users.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple trim images are generated to provide composition variety, then the adaptability and appeal are improved, but the device complexity and processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary detection of the subject area in the captured image before generating trim boxes. By detecting the subject area first and using its position and size information to guide trim box generation, the system avoids complex real-time processing during trim image creation, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining composition variety.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes parameters such as trim box position, size, and subject location based on detection results and composition rules. By adjusting these parameters systematically rather than using complex algorithms, the system achieves multiple compositions with relatively simple processing requirements.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the number of trim boxes is increased to provide more composition options, then the versatility is improved, but the processing time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent generates a limited number of trim boxes (typically 3-5) with different compositions rather than exhaustively generating all possible trim boxes. This partial action provides sufficient composition variety for user needs while avoiding excessive processing time associated with generating too many options.
