Solution Overview

Problem

Chroma Key compositing methods in AR, VR, and XR suffer from limitations such as color scheme blowouts, reflective material issues, and the need for post-processing to add light effects, leading to unnatural results and restricted use of reflective materials.

Innovation Solution

A method for providing an XR-based composite image that includes receiving a planar image from a camera photographing a display device, compositing it with a virtual space image, and outputting a final image, while allowing for real-time detection of moving objects using radar data and camera data, and enabling flexible background and light effect adjustments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If Chroma Key compositing method is used, then compositing can be achieved, but color schemes are blown out and realism is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompositing capabilityVSAvoidimage quality and realism
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the fundamental parameter of background representation from a static chroma key color to a dynamically generated virtual background. The system renders virtual environments in real-time and composites them with the foreground subject, eliminating the need for chroma keying and its associated quality degradation. This parameter change from static color-based compositing to dynamic content-based compositing resolves the contradiction between ease of manufacture and manufacturing precision.

Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of manufacture

If Chroma Key compositing method is used, then compositing can be achieved, but reflective materials are limited and light effects require post-processing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompositing capabilityVSAvoidmaterial and lighting flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamics to the background environment by rendering virtual scenes that can change in real-time. The virtual background responds to camera movements, subject positions, and lighting conditions, allowing reflective materials to interact naturally with dynamically generated light sources. This eliminates the static nature of chroma key backgrounds and enables versatile material representation without post-processing, resolving the contradiction between ease of manufacture and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Device complexity

If planar image compositing is used, then processing simplicity is maintained, but visual richness and light effect quality are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing complexityVSAvoidvisual quality and light effects
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent substitutes traditional mechanical post-processing techniques with real-time virtual rendering. Instead of capturing planar images and adding light effects through complex post-processing, the system generates photorealistic virtual backgrounds with integrated lighting and reflections during the compositing process itself. This substitution of rendering mechanics for post-processing mechanics maintains relative simplicity while dramatically improving visual quality.
