Video Viewing Path Selection for Framing Reduction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Managing a large number of video framings within a short duration can be difficult and time-consuming.
Innovation Solution
Generate a viewing path for a video based on framing information to reduce the number of framings, using a system with a processor and electronic storage to process video and framing information, and provide a reduced set of framings for presentation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If multiple framings are used within a short duration to capture detailed visual content, then the completeness of visual content representation is improved, but the complexity of framing management increases and becomes difficult and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the essential framings from the complete set of framings by generating a viewing path that identifies key moments in the video. This selective extraction reduces the number of framings from many detailed captures to a manageable reduced set that still represents the essential visual content, resolving the contradiction between completeness and manageability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of framing density along the viewing path by using smoothing techniques and adaptive sampling. The system dynamically adjusts the number and distribution of framings based on visual content importance, transitioning from uniform high-density sampling to non-uniform adaptive sampling that maintains visual integrity while reducing overall framing count
2Manufacturing precision
If many framings are generated at multiple moments within the progress length, then the detail and precision of video presentation is improved, but the time required to manage and process these framings increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary analysis of the video content to generate a viewing path before final framing selection. This preliminary action identifies key moments and visual importance metrics in advance, allowing the system to pre-determine which framings are essential, thereby reducing the time required for subsequent framing processing and management
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a simplified copy of the complete framing set by generating a reduced set of framings that replicates the essential visual information. This reduced copying maintains video presentation precision while significantly reducing processing time, as the system works with a smaller subset of representative framings rather than the complete set
Data Source
AI summary
Framings of a video determines which spatial extents of the video are presented during playback of the video. A viewing path for the video is generated based on the framings of the video, and the number of framings for the video is reduced based on the viewing path for the video. The reduced number of framings for the video is provided for use in generating a presentation of the video.
