Problem
Current methods for achieving a clone effect in videos are labor-intensive and require advanced planning and specialized knowledge, involving complex manual post-editing and lengthy production processes, with limited feedback during the photography phase.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for processing videos that identifies a target object in one video segment and acquires a corresponding object from another segment, allowing for real-time picture splicing to create a processed video frame with the clone effect, reducing the need for manual editing and enhancing processing efficiency.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If manual post-editing and advance planning are used to create clone effect videos, then the quality and precision of the clone effect is improved, but the production time and complexity increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical post-editing operations with an automated computer-implemented system. The processor automatically identifies target objects in video frames, extracts them, and synthesizes cloned instances by combining extracted objects with background frames, eliminating the need for manual video editing while maintaining clone effect quality
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates cloned video objects by extracting target objects from source video frames and copying them into target video frames. The extraction and copying process preserves object characteristics while enabling rapid duplication without manual intervention, directly addressing the time-consuming nature of traditional clone effect production
2Manufacturing precision
If professionals with specialized knowledge perform video editing, then the clone effect quality is improved, but the difficulty and skill requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs video cloning operations automatically without requiring professional video editors. The processor autonomously identifies target objects, extracts them from backgrounds, and synthesizes cloned video sequences, making the clone effect production accessible to users without specialized video editing skills
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the need for skilled manual video editing with an automated computational system that performs object identification, extraction, and synthesis operations, thereby eliminating the skill barrier while maintaining professional-quality results
3Manufacturing precision
If advance planning and preparation are done for photographing source materials, then the clone effect precision is improved, but the preparation time and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary object extraction and background separation during the video processing stage rather than requiring advance planning during source material photographing. The system automatically identifies and extracts target objects from captured video frames, eliminating the need for预先场景选择和拍摄规划
Solution Approach 2:
The automated object identification and extraction algorithms replace the manual planning and preparation process, using computer vision techniques to automatically segment objects from backgrounds without requiring advance scene selection or拍摄 positioning

AI summary
The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for processing a video, and a storage medium, which are applied to a terminal device. The method includes that: a target object in a first video segment is identified; a current video frame of a second video segment is acquired; a first image region corresponding to the target object in a first target video frame of the first video segment is acquired, and a second image region corresponding to the target object in the current video frame of the second video segment is acquired, the first target video frame corresponding to the current video frame of the second video segment in terms of video frame time; and picture splicing is performed on the first target video frame and the current video frame of the second video segment according to the first image region and the second image region to obtain a processed first video frame. Therefore, a spliced video of the target object with a clone effect can be obtained quickly, the complex manual post edition by a user turns out to be unnecessary, and the processing efficiency is high.
