Solution Overview

Problem

Handheld video shooting often results in video shaking, leading to poor video quality.

Innovation Solution

A method for video anti-shake processing that involves determining a moving track of a shooting position by feature point tracking between image frames, performing smoothing processing to obtain a smooth track, and deforming the video based on the difference between the moving and smooth tracks.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If traditional anti-shake processing methods are used, then video shaking is reduced, but abnormal deformations occur in the video content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo shakingVSAvoidvideo content deformation
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the video processing into two distinct stages: first determining a motion track from feature point tracking, then separately determining a smooth track through smoothing processing. This segmentation allows independent optimization of shake reduction and deformation control, resolving the contradiction between reducing video shaking and preventing abnormal deformations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies smoothing processing to transform the discrete motion track into a smooth track, changing the parameter continuity of the shooting position data. This parameter transformation enables the system to reduce high-frequency shaking while maintaining the overall motion characteristics, thereby preventing abnormal deformations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If feature point tracking is performed between all image frames, then shooting position accuracy is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveshooting position accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs feature point tracking preliminarily to establish a motion track before applying smoothing processing. This preliminary action captures the essential shooting position information, and subsequent smoothing refines it without requiring complex real-time processing of all frames, thus balancing accuracy and complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a smooth track as an intermediary between the raw motion track and the final video output. This intermediary smooths out the irregularities in shooting position data, reducing processing complexity while maintaining accuracy in the anti-shake effect.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
