Solution Overview

Problem

Existing beautifying techniques cannot implement image optimization operations in virtual reality (VR) scenarios.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a terminal device, binocular image acquisition apparatus, and virtual reality device is used to acquire and process live streaming image frames, performing first and global processing operations to generate a beautified 3D live streaming experience by combining 4K images from different angles into an 8K input, applying face recognition and rendering, and displaying the processed image on a virtual reality device.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing beautifying techniques are applied to 2D scenarios, then image optimization can be achieved, but the technique cannot implement beautifying operation in VR scenario

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication scenarioVSAvoidbeautifying operation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extends the beautifying technique from 2D image processing to 3D VR scenario by processing binocular image frames. The system acquires left and right eye images, processes them separately through the beautifying algorithm, and reconstructs 3D content, thereby adapting the 2D technique to 3D dimensionality while maintaining beautifying capability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Manufacturing precision

If global processing operation is performed on entire image frame, then complete beautifying effect is achieved, but computational load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebeautifying effect qualityVSAvoidcomputational load
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the image processing into two distinct operations: a first processing operation performed on a determined area (face region) to achieve detailed beautifying effect, and a second processing operation performed on the entire image frame for global optimization. This segmentation allows targeted processing of critical regions while maintaining overall efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies different processing strategies to different regions: intensive processing on the face area where beautifying is most critical, and lighter processing on the background and other regions. This local quality approach ensures high beautifying effect where needed while reducing overall computational load.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
