Solution Overview

Problem

Existing image editing methods require specific executable instructions for precise operations, failing to accommodate fuzzy editing themes, leading to poor user experience for those without professional editing skills or clear expectations.

Innovation Solution

An image editing method using a preset vision-language model to generate editing instructions and positions based on a fuzzy editing theme, enabling creative and flexible editing by predicting positions and generating diverse suggestions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If specific executable instructions are provided for image editing, then editing precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates because users need professional editing skills and clear expectations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting precisionVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary system comprising a vision-language model and an editing system that translates fuzzy natural language themes into precise editing instructions. The vision-language model acts as a mediator between the user's intent and the editing execution, automatically generating executable instructions with position information, thereby eliminating the need for users to provide precise manual instructions while maintaining high editing precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If existing image editing methods are used, then editing precision is improved, but adaptability deteriorates because they cannot handle fuzzy editing themes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting precisionVSAvoidadaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of editing input from precise but rigid instructions to fuzzy but flexible natural language themes. The vision-language model processes these thematic descriptions and dynamically generates appropriate editing instructions, allowing the system to adapt to various editing scenarios and user intents while maintaining precise execution through automated instruction generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of operation

If natural language instructions are accepted, then ease of operation is improved, but manufacturing precision deteriorates because instructions may not be executable or specific enough

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidediting precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of manual instruction formulation with an automated vision-language model that generates executable editing instructions. Instead of requiring users to manually craft precise instructions, the system uses AI to translate natural language themes into structured editing commands with position information, substituting human cognitive effort with automated processing while ensuring instruction precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose an image editing method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method includes: receiving an image to be edited and an editing theme; generating, by using a preset vision-language model, an editing instruction and an editing position corresponding to the editing instruction based on the image to be edited and the editing theme; and editing the image to be edited based on the editing instruction and the editing position, to obtain a target image.
