Detailed Description
Various preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description with reference to the accompanying drawings is provided to assist in understanding the exemplary embodiments of the invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents. It includes various specific details to assist understanding, but they are to be construed as merely illustrative. Accordingly, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Also, in order to make the description clearer and simpler, a detailed description of functions and configurations well known in the art will be omitted.
First, an imaging method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1. The imaging method is applied to an imaging apparatus for capturing an image, and includes a capturing unit and the like (to be described in detail below). As shown in fig. 1, the method comprises the steps of:
first, in step S101, it is determined whether a first trigger operation is detected. If it is determined in step S101 that the first trigger operation is detected, the process proceeds to step S102. In step S102, shooting guidance information is obtained in response to a first trigger operation. Here, the first trigger operation may be that the user presses a button that starts the shooting guidance function. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S101 that the first trigger operation is not detected, the process ends.
After step S102, the process proceeds to step S103. In step S103, it is determined whether a second trigger operation is detected. If it is determined in step S103 that the second trigger operation is detected, the process proceeds to step S104. In step S104, an image is captured in response to the second trigger operation. Here, the second trigger operation may be that the user presses a shooting button. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S103 that the second trigger operation is not detected, the process ends.
It can be seen that fig. 1 shows an overview of a method reflecting the inventive concept, namely: the photographing guide information is obtained and then photographed. It is to be noted that "obtaining the shooting-guidance information" herein does not necessarily have to be linked to "shooting". That is, although the photographing guide information is obtained, the final photographing does not necessarily depend on the obtained photographing guide information. That is, the user may simply browse the photographing guide information.
In addition, in the present invention, the photographing guide information may be a photographing guide image or a photographing guide parameter, or a combination thereof. The photographing guide parameter further includes a physical parameter and an optical parameter. For example, the physical parameters include at least one of GPS information (latitude and longitude) of a shooting position, a pitch angle, a pan angle, and the like of a camera lens, and the optical parameters include at least one of an aperture, a shutter speed, a focal length, sensitivity, exposure compensation, white balance, and the like. Also, as described above, the shooting guidance information may further include comment information.
Next, an imaging method according to various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
As a first embodiment, a scenario will be described in which: when the user a alone comes to a strange environment, he/she desires to take an image of himself/herself in the current scene based on the composition set by himself/herself. In this case, the user a can only request the strange user B to help taking a picture. The user a first photographs a sample piece with a composition desired by the user a and uses the sample piece as photographing guide information. When the user a takes a photograph, optical parameters of the imaging apparatus may be set first. However, the optical parameters here are not the shooting guidance information in the present embodiment. Then, the user a hands the camera to the user B, and the user B photographs the sample.
When the user a photographs a dailies as the photographing guide information, there may be two specific embodiments.
(1) The user a takes the user B as an example to shoot, namely: the dailies include a person (user B). When the user B performs shooting, as long as the scene in the shooting preview image coincides or substantially coincides with the scene in the sample, and the position of the user a substantially coincides with the position of the user B in the sample, the user B can be displayed with the prompt information that shooting is possible.
(2) The user a photographs only the current scene and marks the range (e.g., draws a line or a region) where a desired person is located by performing an input operation with respect to, for example, a touch screen, thereby forming a visual cue. That is, in this case, the sample does not include a person, but only includes a prompt message that prompts the position where the person should be. When the scene in the shooting preview image coincides or substantially coincides with the scene in the sample and the position of the user a is in a designated area, prompt information that can be shot may be displayed to the user B.
It can be seen that, in the first embodiment, the shooting guidance information includes only the shooting guidance image, i.e., the dailies described above, and the context awareness function at this time is embodied more broadly on the personal setting of the user.
In the imaging method according to the first embodiment, step S102 includes the steps of:
first, in step S1021, a guide image is captured by the imaging apparatus.
Then, in step S1022, the guide image is taken as shooting guide information.
As a second embodiment, a scenario will be described in which: when the user comes to an unfamiliar environment, the user is guided to shoot by referring to shooting guide information related to the environmental information of the current environment.
In the imaging method according to the second embodiment, step S102 includes the steps of:
first, in step S1021', environment information of an environment in which the imaging apparatus is currently located is determined. For example, the environmental information may include at least one of latitude and longitude, altitude, lens orientation, temperature, humidity, climate, time, and the like.
The method for determining the environment information at least comprises the following two modes:
firstly, generating at least one of corresponding longitude and latitude, altitude, lens direction, temperature, humidity, climate, environment brightness and other information by utilizing at least one of a GPS sensor, an air pressure sensor, a gyroscope, a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, an environment light sensor and the like of the imaging device;
secondly, acquiring an image by an imaging device, wherein the image comprises an object of the environment; the image is analyzed on the imaging device side or the server side to identify objects therein to determine environmental information of the environment in which it is located. Since the processing power on the server side is stronger, it is more preferable to perform the above analysis on the server side. Here, it should be noted that the "captured image" in step S104 described above refers to an image captured and stored in the nonvolatile storage unit, and the "capture" herein merely indicates a temporary process.
Then, in step S1022', shooting guidance information related to the environmental information is searched for from a server locally or via a network. For example, in a memory inside the imaging apparatus, some shooting guidance information downloaded from a server via a network may be stored in advance. In the server, a large amount of environment information and shooting guidance information are stored in association with each other.
In the second embodiment, the shooting guidance information may include only the shooting guidance parameters. For example, when the environmental information determined at step S1021' indicates that the environmental brightness is low (e.g., cloudy day), the shooting guidance parameter associated therewith may include a higher sensitivity and an exposure compensation value, or the like. Of course, the shooting guide information may also be a combination of the shooting guide image and the shooting guide parameter. For example, the shooting guidance image may be a photograph of a ranking such as TOP10 that was shot with this environmental information. The shooting guidance parameters are shooting parameters (including physical parameters and optical parameters) when the picture is taken. In addition, the shooting guidance information may further include comments and the like attached to the photograph.
However, it is considered that there may be photographing guide information from which the imaging device cannot take a picture, among a plurality of selectable photographing guide information related to the environment information, for example, the photographing guide information is a specific parameter of a wide-angle lens, and the imaging device is a general lens; as another example, the shooting guidance information is a specific parameter of a telephoto lens, and the imaging device is a fixed focus lens, so that it is impossible to adjust the parameter of the imaging device to the shooting guidance information, and as a more preferred embodiment, step S1022' further includes the steps of:
firstly, determining the device parameters of the imaging device;
then, the shooting guide information is screened according to the equipment parameters, so that the obtained shooting guide information does not include the shooting guide information according to which the imaging equipment can not shoot pictures. For example, the step of filtering may be searching first and then deleting, that is, first obtaining all the shooting guidance information corresponding to the environment information and then deleting those that cannot be reached from all the shooting guidance information. For another example, the step of filtering may also be conditional search, that is, shooting guidance information that can be reached by the imaging device is directly searched with the device parameter of the imaging device as an additional condition.
In the first embodiment, the obtained shooting guidance information needs to be displayed to the user, whereas in the second embodiment, the shooting guidance information may not need to be displayed to the user. For example, in a case where only one piece of photographing guide information is obtained and photographing parameters are to be automatically adjusted by the imaging apparatus, the photographing guide information may not be displayed to the user. Of course, in the second embodiment, in the case where a plurality of pieces of shooting guide information are obtained or shooting parameters are manually adjusted by the user, the shooting guide information may also be displayed to the user.
Next, with reference to fig. 2, a case where shooting guidance information needs to be displayed is described. In this case, the imaging method according to the embodiment of the present invention further includes, after obtaining the photographing guide information (step S102) and before detecting the second trigger operation (step S103), the steps of:
in step S201, shooting guidance information is displayed.
Then, in step S202, it is determined whether or not there are a plurality of pieces of shooting guidance information. If the judgment is yes, the processing proceeds to step S203.
In step S203, it is determined whether a third trigger operation is detected. For example, the third trigger operation may be the user pressing, for example, a start selection button. If it is determined in step S203 that the third trigger operation is detected, the process proceeds to step S204.
In step S204, a selection of the user among the plurality of photographing guide information is received in response to a third trigger operation. In this case, as a possible implementation, the user's selection may be further uploaded to the server as one factor that affects the ranking of the selected shooting guidance information, that is: the more users who select the shooting guidance information, the more the shooting guidance information is ranked (e.g., TOP 10). Through such feedback, the user's selection may be made more instructive. Then, in step S205, a target shooting parameter corresponding to one piece of shooting guidance information selected by the user is obtained. The process then proceeds to step S206.
On the other hand, if the third trigger operation is not detected at the judgment at step S203, the process directly proceeds to step S206. Here, the case where the third trigger operation is not detected at step S203 corresponds to the case where the user browses only the shooting guidance information without adjusting according to the shooting guidance information as described above.
Then, in step S206, the current shooting parameters are adjusted. The adjustment here may be based on the shooting guidance information, or may be an adjustment intended by the user. The adjustment may be manual or automatic.
In the case of automatic adjustment, for example, the user selects one shooting guide image from among a plurality of shooting guide images, and then the imaging apparatus automatically adjusts the optical parameters of the imaging apparatus according to the optical parameters corresponding to the image. After the adjustment is completed, the adjusted shooting prompt information can be displayed to the user, and the user determines whether to shoot or not. As another example, the imaging device may be fixed to a pan/tilt head. The imaging apparatus automatically adjusts its own shooting parameters (e.g., orientation, pitch, zoom number, aperture, shutter speed, sensitivity, white balance, etc.) according to the selected shooting parameters. When the adjustment is completed, the information that the parameter configuration is completed may be displayed to the user.
In the case of manual adjustment, the method may further include the step of outputting an adjustment prompt message.
In the case where the adjustment target of the imaging apparatus is not much different from the current state, for example, in the first embodiment described above, since the position and orientation at the time when the user a photographs the dailies are not much different from the position and orientation at the time when the user B photographs the images, and thus the photographing guide image obtained by the user a is not much different from the preview image at the time when the user B photographs the images, the adjustment prompt information can be generated by comparing the photographing guide image with the photographing preview image.
However, the adjustment target of the imaging apparatus may also differ greatly from the current state. For example, in the second embodiment described above, it is possible that the orientation of the lens of the imaging apparatus is completely opposite to the orientation of the lens as the adjustment target. In this case, the adjustment guidance information is generated as follows: first, current physical parameters of the imaging device, such as position information, lens orientation, etc., are detected. The current physical parameter and the target physical parameter are then compared to form adjustment hints information on how to adjust (e.g., move up/down/left/right, rotate horizontally, rotate vertically, etc.). And finally, outputting and displaying the adjustment prompt information. Of course, it is not excluded to use this way to generate the adjustment prompt information in a case where the adjustment target of the imaging apparatus is not much different from the current state.
In the first and second embodiments, when the photographing guide information includes a photographing guide image, the photographing guide image and the photographing preview image may be simultaneously displayed to facilitate a user's comparison and viewing. The photographing guide image and the photographing preview image may be simultaneously displayed in a picture-in-picture form in which, for example, a large window displays the photographing preview image and a small window displays the photographing guide image. The shooting guide image and the shooting preview image may be displayed simultaneously in a side-by-side or top-down parallel display. It is also possible to simultaneously display the photographing guide image and the photographing preview image in an overlapping display manner. In the case of the overlay display, the overlay display is performed in the same size, and the transparency of the photographing guide image satisfies a predetermined condition, so that the user can view the photographing guide image while viewing the photographing preview image. In this way, the user can more directly observe the difference between the current image and the target image. In the case where the photographing preview image coincides or substantially coincides with the photographing guide image, the adjustment may be considered to be completed. For example, the imaging device may automatically analyze the degree of overlap. If the degree of coincidence is higher than a certain threshold (e.g., 90%), the adjustment is considered to be completed, and the shooting guidance information is generated.
The specific shooting prompt information may be at least one of the following two types:
1) for example, in the form of a dialog box, to the photographer, especially for user B in the first embodiment, it can be known that the photographing can be triggered at this time;
2) for example, the display is made to the subject in the form of flashing of the indicator light, and only for the user a in embodiment 1, so as to inform the user a that the composition is completed, i.e., the subject is about to be photographed, and the expression/posture adjustment can be performed.
The shooting guidance information may include comment information in addition to the shooting guidance image, the physical parameters, and the optical parameters described above. For example, the comment accompanying the sample selected by the user may relate to a more preferred shooting parameter or a more preferred composition possible. In this case, the method may further include the steps of:
firstly, semantic recognition is carried out on the comment information. And then, generating target shooting parameters according to the semantic recognition result. And finally, adjusting based on the target shooting parameters. For example, the comments attached to the dailies selected by the user include the following: it is better if the sensitivity is higher. Then, first, the phrase "better if the sensitivity is higher than it" is semantically recognized, so that the user's semantics, that is, the desired sensitivity is higher, is known. Then, the value of sensitivity is further increased on the basis of the sensitivity corresponding to the sample, and the increased sensitivity is used as a new target shooting parameter. And finally, adjusting based on the target shooting parameters. By further integrating the text information besides the image and the parameter information, the parameter adjusting source is more diversified according to the invention, and the user can be better guided to shoot.
Referring back to fig. 1, after step S104, the following steps may be further included: in step S105, the environmental information and the captured photograph and/or the capturing parameters are uploaded to the server to maintain the server, so that the data of the server is richer. It is noted that the uploaded content may differ according to different embodiments. For example, in the case where the photographing guide information includes only a dailies for browsing, the user may upload only the finally photographed image to the server. For another example, in the case where the photographing guide information includes a photographing guide image and photographing guide parameters, if uploading is selected, the user needs to upload both the finally photographed image and the photographing parameters corresponding thereto to the server. Of course, this step is performed according to the user's selection, and may not be performed, and thus is shown in fig. 1 by a dotted line.
In the above, a specific flow of the imaging method according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to fig. 1 and 2. Next, a specific configuration of an image forming apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 3.

The shooting guide image and the shooting preview image may be displayed simultaneously in a side-by-side or top-down parallel display. It is also possible to simultaneously display the photographing guide image and the photographing preview image in an overlapping display manner. In the case of the overlay display, the transparency of the photographing guide image satisfies a predetermined condition so that the user can view the photographing guide image while viewing the photographing preview image.
The adjusting unit 306 may automatically adjust the shooting parameters, or may adjust the shooting parameters under the control of the user.

In this case, the adjustment prompt information generation unit 308 includes: a fourth detection unit for detecting a current physical parameter of the imaging apparatus; the comparison unit is used for comparing the current physical parameter with the target physical parameter to form adjustment prompt information; and the output unit is used for outputting the adjustment prompt information.
As described above, the shooting guidance information may further include comment information. Fig. 5 shows the configuration of the imaging apparatus 300 in this case. As shown in fig. 5, the apparatus 300 may further include a comment converting unit 309. The comment converting unit 309 includes: the semantic recognition unit is used for performing semantic recognition on the comment information; and the target shooting parameter generating unit is used for generating target shooting parameters according to the semantic recognition result.
