3D Model-Based Video Entity Repair for Irregular Structures

The patent transitions from 2D image editing to 3D model-based editing. By creating and manipulating 3D models of entities with irregular structures, the system achieves accurate repair of complex shapes that traditional 2D tools cannot handle effectively. The 3D model provides depth information and structural understanding that enables precise reconstruction of missing or damaged portions.

The patent introduces 3D models as an intermediary between the original image/video and the final repaired output. These 3D models serve as a bridge that captures the essential geometry and structure of entities, allowing for accurate repair while maintaining consistency across multiple views and frames. The intermediary model enables transfer learning and generalization across different editing tasks.

The patent performs preliminary actions by automatically generating 3D models from input images or videos before the actual editing process. This pre-processing step captures the geometric structure of entities in advance, enabling faster and more accurate editing operations. The 3D model serves as a prepared template that can be quickly manipulated and applied, reducing the time required for complex repairs.

The patent creates 3D model copies of entities that can be manipulated independently from the original images or videos. These digital twins or replicas allow for non-destructive editing, where the 3D model can be modified, transformed, and applied without affecting the source material. This copying approach enables versatile handling of irregular structures while maintaining efficiency.
