METHOD PERFORMED BY ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240177466 titled 'METHOD PERFORMED BY ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The method described in the abstract involves processing video frames to remove objects from the scene. Here is a simplified explanation of the patent application:

  • Determining a local frame sequence from a video
  • Obtaining a feature map sequence by encoding the local frame sequence
  • Determining a feature flow sequence based on the feature map sequence and a mask image sequence for object removal
  • Obtaining an updated feature map sequence by performing feature fusion between adjacent feature maps
  • Obtaining a processed local frame sequence by decoding the updated feature map sequence

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in video editing software to easily remove unwanted objects from videos.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of removing objects from video frames without leaving any traces or artifacts.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include improved video editing capabilities, increased efficiency in object removal, and enhanced visual quality of the final output.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Object Removal Technology for Video Editing Software"

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of image inpainting techniques to remove objects from images or videos.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle complex backgrounds or moving objects in the scene?

The technology may struggle with complex backgrounds or moving objects that intersect with the object to be removed. Further research and development may be needed to address these challenges.

What is the computational cost of implementing this technology in real-time video processing applications?

The computational cost of real-time implementation of this technology is not addressed in the abstract. Further studies may be required to determine the feasibility of real-time processing and any potential limitations.


Original Abstract Submitted

a method performed by an electronic apparatus, includes: determining a local frame sequence from a video; obtaining a feature map sequence of the local frame sequence by encoding the local frame sequence; determining a feature flow sequence of the local frame sequence based on the feature map sequence of the local frame sequence and a mask image sequence regarding an object to be removed, the mask image sequence being corresponding to the feature map sequence; obtaining an updated feature map sequence of the local frame sequence, by performing, based on the feature flow sequence, feature fusion between adjacent feature maps in the feature map sequence; and obtaining a processed local frame sequence, by decoding the updated feature map sequence of the local frame sequence.
