Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If traditional video splicing methods are used, then the splicing process can be completed, but the video splicing effect is poor with visible seams and unnatural transitions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevideo splicing effectVSAvoidsplicing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing freeze frame detection and reference frame selection before the actual splicing operation. The method detects freeze frames in advance, selects optimal reference frames from these freeze frames, and pre-calculates alignment parameters, thereby improving splicing quality while managing complexity through structured preprocessing steps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the video splicing process into distinct stages: freeze frame detection, reference frame selection, overlapping area identification, and alignment/splicing execution. This segmentation allows each stage to be optimized independently, improving overall splicing effect while making the complex process more manageable and systematic

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Stability of the object's composition

If freeze frame detection and reference frame selection are performed, then the transition smoothness is improved, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransition smoothnessVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Stability of the object's compositionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by performing freeze frame detection on only certain portions of the video or selecting a limited number of key freeze frames as reference frames, rather than processing every frame. This approach maintains transition smoothness through careful selection of critical frames while reducing overall processing time by avoiding exhaustive analysis of all video content

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

The present application relates to a video splicing method and apparatus, and a computer device and a storage medium. The method comprises: acquiring a first video and a second video, which are to be spliced, wherein the first video is before the second video; performing freeze frame detection on the first video or the second video, so as to obtain a freeze frame sequence; obtaining a reference video frame on the basis of the freeze frame sequence; searching for an overlapping area on the basis of the reference video frame, so as to obtain a first overlapping video frame area corresponding to the first video and a second overlapping video frame area corresponding to the second video; and on the basis of the first overlapping video frame area and the second overlapping video frame area, splicing the first video and the second video to obtain a spliced video. By means of the method, the video splicing effect can be improved.
