Description

Image scaling method and device

Technical Field

The present application relates to image processing technologies, and in particular, to an image scaling method and apparatus.

Background

When a user uses a camera of a mobile phone to take a picture, the user sometimes uses two fingers to open or close the camera on a screen of the mobile phone to adjust the focal length of the camera. The camera zooms in or zooms out the picture displayed on the screen based on the operation of the user so as to meet the photographing requirement of the user.

However, the above-described zoom process of the camera may cause an object that the user wants to photograph to not completely appear in the finder frame, resulting in a failure in photographing.

Disclosure of Invention

The application provides an image zooming method and device, which can be used for carrying out zooming-in or zooming-out on a target object expected by a user in a targeted manner, and the target object is placed in the central area of a preview picture, so that the success rate of photographing is improved.

In a first aspect, the present application provides an image scaling method, including: determining a zoom central point, wherein the zoom central point is located in a pixel area of a screen of an electronic device, on which a target object is displayed, and the zoom central point is associated with an initial touch position corresponding to a zoom operation performed by a user on the screen; determining a target focal length according to the zooming central point, wherein the target focal length is the maximum or minimum focal length which can cover the whole target object in the view finding range of a camera of the electronic equipment; adjusting a shooting focal length of the camera from a first focal length to a second focal length; wherein the second focal length is greater than the first focal length and the second focal length is less than or equal to the target focal length; or the second focal length is smaller than the first focal length and is greater than or equal to the target focal length; and displaying a preview picture acquired by the lens after the focal length is adjusted on the screen, wherein the preview picture takes the zooming central point as a central point.

Generally, when a user uses an electronic device (e.g., a mobile phone) to take a picture, a picture taking Application (APP) is first opened on the electronic device, then a default lens (e.g., a rear lens) on the electronic device is opened to obtain a real picture of the electronic device at a default focal length (if the default focal length is a fixed focal length of the lens, if the default focal length is a zoom lens, the default focal length may be one of a plurality of focal lengths of the lens, the default focal length may be preset), and a preview image signal corresponding to the real picture is transmitted to a screen of the electronic device, and the screen displays a preview picture corresponding to the preview image signal. Before pressing the shutter, a user can adjust the focal length in various ways, and the view finding range of the lens is reduced along with the increase of the focal length, so that a preview picture displayed on a screen of the electronic equipment can be changed into an enlarged picture of a local area in the original preview picture; as the focal length is reduced, the view range of the lens is enlarged, and the preview image displayed on the screen of the electronic device is a reduced image including the original preview image and a frame including more contents.

The above-mentioned various ways of adjusting the focal length may include: (1) the two fingers of the user slide on the screen separately (indicating that the focal length needs to be increased, the viewing range needs to be reduced, the local area in the current preview picture is enlarged, and the details of the local area are richer) or gather together (indicating that the focal length needs to be reduced, the viewing range needs to be increased, and the current preview picture needs to be reduced, so that the preview picture contains more contents); (2) the user double clicks a screen by one finger (indicating that the focal length is to be increased, the viewing range is to be reduced, and the local area in the current preview picture is enlarged, so that the details of the local area are richer) or double clicks the screen by two fingers (indicating that the focal length is to be reduced, the viewing range is to be increased, and the current preview picture is to be reduced, so that the preview picture contains more contents).

When the user adjusts the focal length, the user may zoom in or out on a specific object in the preview screen according to the desired shooting effect. For example, the user may want to zoom in on a character that appears smaller in the preview screen at the default focal length. At the moment, two fingers of the user slide on the screen separately, so that the focal length can be increased, the view finding range can be reduced, and the local area in the current preview picture can be enlarged. In the related art, the center point of the current preview screen is used as a zoom center point for zooming, that is, a zoomed partial area surrounds the center point of the current preview screen, but if a person to be photographed is not in the middle of the current preview screen, part or all of the person may not be in the view range after the focus adjustment, so that the zoomed preview screen does not include a complete person screen.

The electronic device can acquire touch data of a user through the touch sensor, analyze the touch data to determine what kind of zoom operation the user performs (for example, two fingers slide apart, two fingers slide together, one finger double-click on the screen, or two fingers double-click on the screen), and finally determine a zoom center point according to the zoom operation. The zoom center point in the present application is associated with an initial touch position corresponding to a zoom operation performed by a user on a screen.

In one possible implementation manner, when the zooming operation is that the two fingers slide separately or the two fingers slide together, the initial touch positions of the two fingers on the screen are acquired, and the midpoint of a connecting line between the initial touch positions of the two fingers on the screen is used as a zooming central point. For example, when a user wants to zoom in a person in a preview picture, the user can place two fingers near a pixel area on a screen where the person is displayed and then slide the two fingers on the screen separately, so that a midpoint of a connecting line acquired according to initial touch positions of the two fingers is likely to fall within the pixel area where the person is displayed, and then the zoom-in is performed by taking the midpoint as a zoom center point, so that the person can be always located at the center of the preview picture, and not only can the accurate focusing during the zooming be realized, but also the person cannot easily get out of the view range of a lens.

In one possible implementation manner, when the zooming operation is a one-finger double click or a two-finger double click, the touch position corresponding to the one-finger double click or the two-finger double click is determined as the zooming center point. For example, when a user wants to enlarge a person in a preview image, the user can use a finger joint of one finger to double click a certain position in a pixel area on a screen where the person is displayed, and enlarge the position by using the position as a zoom central point, so that the person can be always positioned at the central position of the preview image, thereby not only realizing accurate focusing in the zooming process, but also preventing the person from easily getting out of the view range of a lens.

The target object is in the center of the preview screen, so that the possibility that the target object is out of the mirror can be reduced unless the focal length is so large that the lens cannot completely obtain the target object. The target focal length can therefore be determined based on whether the target object is out of view, i.e. the target focal length is the maximum (suitable for a scene with increased focal length) or the minimum (suitable for a scene with decreased focal length) focal length that the viewing range of the camera of the electronic device can cover to the complete target object.

And after the electronic equipment determines the target focal length, if the target focal length is the condition of a plurality of fixed-focus lenses, switching the current lens into the fixed-focus lens corresponding to the second focal length. If the zoom lens is the case, the current focal length of the zoom lens is switched to the second focal length. Thereby achieving camera zoom.

When the zooming operation is to increase the focal length, the second focal length is greater than the first focal length and is less than or equal to the target focal length. If the second focal length is smaller than the target focal length, the process of increasing the focal length may be step-by-step, that is, each time the user performs an operation of increasing the focal length (e.g., two-finger sliding apart or one-finger double-click), the shooting focal length of the camera is adjusted from the current focal length (first focal length) to a focal length (second focal length) one step larger than the current focal length. If the second focal length is equal to the target focal length, the process of increasing the focal length may be one-step, that is, the shooting focal length of the camera is adjusted from the current focal length (the first focal length) to the maximum focal length (the second focal length, that is, the target focal length) that the view range of the camera of the electronic device can cover the complete target object, as long as the user performs the operation of increasing the focal length (for example, two fingers slide apart or one finger double click); alternatively, when the zooming operation is to decrease the focal length, the second focal length is smaller than the first focal length and the second focal length is greater than or equal to the target focal length. If the second focal length is larger than the target focal length, the process of reducing the focal length may be a step-by-step process, that is, each time the user performs an operation of reducing the focal length (for example, two-finger sliding or two-finger double-click), the shooting focal length of the camera is adjusted from the current focal length (the first focal length) to a focal length (the second focal length) one step smaller than the current focal length. If the second focal length is equal to the target focal length, the process of decreasing the focal length may be one-step, that is, the shooting focal length of the camera is adjusted from the current focal length (the first focal length) to the minimum focal length (the second focal length, that is, the target focal length) of the electronic device, which can cover the entire target object, as long as the user performs the operation of decreasing the focal length (for example, two-finger zoom-in sliding or two-finger double click).

The camera can obtain a real picture in a view finding range under the second focal length, and transmits a preview image signal corresponding to the real picture to a screen of the electronic equipment, and the preview image signal is displayed by the screen, wherein the preview picture takes the zooming central point as a central point.

According to the method and the device, the zooming central point is determined based on the operation of the user, the target focal length is determined based on the zooming central point, the zooming central point is used as the central point of the preview picture to display the zoomed preview picture, the preview picture displayed to the user after zooming is zoomed by taking the position selected by the user as the zooming central point, the zooming effect expected by the user is met, namely, the target object expected by the user is amplified or reduced in a targeted manner, the target object is placed in the central area of the preview picture, and the success rate of photographing is improved.

In a possible implementation manner, when the camera includes a plurality of fixed focus lenses (the focal lengths of the plurality of fixed focus lenses are different), the electronic device may acquire the viewing ranges of the plurality of fixed focus lenses, and respectively determine whether the viewing ranges of the plurality of fixed focus lenses completely cover the target object under the condition that the zoom center point is taken as the center. When the zooming operation refers to the amplifying operation, determining the focal length of the object completely covered by the view range in the fixed-focus lenses and having the largest focal length as the target focal length; or, when the zoom operation is a zoom-out operation, determining a focal length of one of the plurality of fixed-focus lenses, in which the view-finding range completely covers the target object and the focal length is the smallest, as the target focal length.

In a possible implementation manner, when the camera includes a zoom lens (the zoom lens can adjust multiple focal lengths), the electronic device may obtain viewing ranges of the multiple focal lengths of the zoom lens, and respectively determine whether the viewing ranges of the multiple focal lengths completely cover the target object. When the zooming operation refers to the amplifying operation, determining that the target object is completely covered by the view-finding range in the plurality of focal lengths and the focal length is the maximum focal length; or, when the zoom operation is a zoom-out operation, determining that the target object is completely covered by the viewing range and the focal length is the smallest among the plurality of focal lengths as the target focal length.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary image scaling method of the present application. The process 200 may be performed by an electronic device (e.g., a cell phone as shown in fig. 2). Process 200 is described as a series of steps or operations, it being understood that process 200 may be performed in various orders and/or concurrently, and is not limited to the order of execution shown in fig. 2. As shown in fig. 2, the method includes:

step 201, determining a zoom central point.

Generally, when a user uses an electronic device (e.g., a mobile phone) to take a picture, a picture-taking APP is opened on the electronic device, then a default lens (e.g., a rear lens) on the electronic device is opened to obtain a real picture of the electronic device at a default focal length (if the default focal length is a fixed focal length of the lens, if the default focal length is a zoom lens, the default focal length may be one of a plurality of focal lengths of the lens, and may be preset), and a preview image signal corresponding to the real picture is transmitted to a screen of the electronic device, and the preview picture corresponding to the preview image signal is displayed on the screen. Before pressing the shutter, a user can adjust the focal length in various ways, and the view finding range of the lens is reduced along with the increase of the focal length, so that a preview picture displayed on a screen of the electronic equipment can be changed into an enlarged picture of a local area in the original preview picture; as the focal length is reduced, the view range of the lens is enlarged, and the preview image displayed on the screen of the electronic device is a reduced image including the original preview image and a frame including more contents.

The above-mentioned various ways of adjusting the focal length may include: (1) the two fingers of the user slide on the screen separately (indicating that the focal length needs to be increased, the viewing range needs to be reduced, the local area in the current preview picture is enlarged, and the details of the local area are richer) or gather together (indicating that the focal length needs to be reduced, the viewing range needs to be increased, and the current preview picture needs to be reduced, so that the preview picture contains more contents); (2) a user double-clicks a screen (indicating that the focal length is to be increased, the viewing range is to be reduced, and the local area in the current preview picture is enlarged, so that the details of the local area are richer) with one finger or double-clicks a screen (indicating that the focal length is to be reduced, the viewing range is to be increased, and the current preview picture is to be reduced, so that the preview picture contains more contents); (3) the user clicks a zoom-in control on the photo interface, such as "+" (indicating that the focal length is to be increased, the viewing range is to be decreased, the local area in the current preview screen is enlarged, and the details of the local area are made richer) or a zoom-out control, such as "-" (indicating that the focal length is to be decreased, the viewing range is to be increased, and the current preview screen is to be reduced, so that the preview screen contains more content). It should be noted that, besides the three manners, the user may also adjust the focal length of the shot in other manners, which is not specifically limited in this application. However, in order to determine the zoom center point, the present application needs to acquire the operation of the user on the screen and the relevant position touched by the operation, so the present application focuses mainly on the manners of (1) and (2) above.

Step 202, determining the target focal length according to the zoom central point.

The zoom center point determined in step 201 can ensure that the target object is at the center of the preview screen during zooming, which can reduce the possibility that the target object will come out of the lens unless the focal length is so large that the lens cannot fully obtain the target object. The target focal length can therefore be determined based on whether the target object is out of view, i.e. the target focal length is the maximum (suitable for a scene with increased focal length) or the minimum (suitable for a scene with decreased focal length) focal length that the viewing range of the camera of the electronic device can cover to the complete target object.

For example, fig. 3a and 3b are schematic diagrams illustrating an exemplary zoom of the present application, and as shown in fig. 3a and 3b, it is assumed that the camera includes three fixed focus lenses, the focal length of the lens 1 is 1-fold, the focal length of the lens 2 is 3-fold, the focal length of the lens 3 is 5-fold, the default lens is the lens 1, and the default focal length is 1-fold. In the default lens-on state, the user slides the two fingers apart on the screen. At the moment, the electronic equipment acquires a zooming central point according to the operation that the two fingers of the user slide separately, determines that the target object is a rabbit according to the image displayed by the zooming central point, and then judges whether the viewing ranges of the three fixed-focus lenses can cover the complete rabbit or not. The electronic device determines the maximum focal length of the view range which can be covered to the complete rabbit as the target focal length. In fig. 3b, the lens 2 with 3 times focal length can cover the whole rabbit, and the lens 3 with 5 times focal length can not cover the whole rabbit, so that the 3 times focal length is the target focal length, and the lens 2 is the zooming result, i.e. the electronic device switches the shooting lens from the lens 1 to the lens 2.

For example, as also shown in fig. 3a and 3b, assume that the camera includes a zoom lens that can achieve three focal lengths, 1-fold focal length, 3-fold focal length, and 5-fold focal length, with the default focal length being 1-fold focal length. And corresponding to the default focal length in the initial opening state of the lens, and the user slides the lens on the screen separately by using two fingers. At the moment, the electronic equipment acquires a zooming central point according to the operation that the two fingers of the user slide separately, determines that the target object is the rabbit according to the image displayed by the zooming central point, and then judges whether the view finding range of the zoom lens under the three focal lengths can cover the complete rabbit or not. The electronic device determines the maximum focal length of the view range which can be covered to the complete rabbit as the target focal length. In fig. 3b, the complete rabbit can be covered by 3 times of focal length, and the complete rabbit can not be covered by 5 times of focal length, so that the 3 times of focal length is the target focal length, and the zoom lens is switched from 1 time of focal length to 3 times of focal length by the electronic device.

Step 203, adjusting the shooting focal length of the camera from the first focal length to the second focal length.

And 204, displaying a preview image acquired by the lens after the focal length is adjusted on a screen, wherein the preview image takes the zoom central point as a central point.

The camera can obtain a real picture in a view finding range under the second focal length, and transmits a preview image signal corresponding to the real picture to a screen of the electronic equipment, and the preview image signal is displayed by the screen, wherein the preview picture takes the zooming central point as a central point. Fig. 4 is an exemplary schematic diagram of a preview screen according to the present application, and as shown in fig. 4, it is assumed that a camera includes three fixed-focus lenses, a focal length of a lens 1 is 1-fold, a focal length of a lens 2 is 3-fold, a focal length of a lens 3 is 5-fold, a default lens is the lens 1, and a default focal length is 1-fold. The target focal length determined by the electronic device is the focal length of the lens 3. Three solid line boxes from the outside to the inside represent the finder ranges at the respective focal lengths of the lens 1, the lens 2, and the lens 3, respectively, and black dots represent zoom center points. The thick line frame indicates the preview screen after zooming, and it can be seen that the zoom center point is located at the center of the thick line frame, and the images within the thick line frame can be acquired from the preview image signal obtained by the lens 3 and the partial preview image signals obtained by the lens 2 and the lens 1, respectively.

The following describes the image scaling method in detail with a specific embodiment.

The target object a appears entirely within the default 1-times focal length viewing range. The two fingers of the user slide apart in the area where the target object a is displayed on the screen, and intend to enlarge the preview picture with the target object a as the center, and it is necessary to always keep the target object a present within the viewing range.

1. Screen (touch screen) capturing touch gestures of user

As shown in fig. 3a, the target object a in the viewing range of 1 × focal length is a bunny rabbit. The user wants to enlarge the current preview picture, and makes an enlarged touch gesture on the screen, such as sliding two fingers apart.

2. Judging whether the touch gesture of the user is two-finger separated sliding

An operating system (e.g., android system) recognition gesture in an electronic device can be processed by using a GesturgeDetector class, a corresponding ScaleGesturgeDetector class is provided corresponding to a gesture of zooming of two fingers, wherein a ScaleGesturgeDetector monitor interface is used for receiving and processing a zooming gesture event, and in the OnScaleGesturgeListener interface, when a two-finger zooming gesture starts, the event is triggered, namely the two fingers press down a screen, a value is returned to coolean through ScaleBegin (), and the operation system is mainly used for judging whether a detector should continue to recognize and process the gesture. If a two-finger zoom gesture is not recognized in a certain area on the screen, the onScale begin () can return false, and the electronic device can ignore the next series of events that do not process the gesture; otherwise, the onScaleBegin () returns true, and the electronic device can proceed with the subsequent steps.

3. Obtaining a zoom central point according to initial positions of two fingers pressed on a screen

The snooping method of the ScaleGestureDetector class includes a ScaleGestureDetector parameter which includes some relevant information of the zoom gesture event, wherein, flow getFocusX () returns the first initial touch point X coordinate of the current zoom gesture, flow getFocusY () returns the second initial touch point Y coordinate of the current zoom gesture, and the zoom central point (X0, Y0) is the midpoint of the connecting line of X and Y.

4. The electronic equipment judges which focal lengths the rabbit can be completely shot to obtain the target focal length based on the zoom central point (X0, Y0)

At the time of determination, the electronic device may perform a field angle of view (FOV) versus focal length relationship. The FOV versus focal length is as follows:

image height EFL × tan (1/2 FOV);

where EFL is the focal length and FOV is the field angle. After the focal length EFL is determined, the FOV thereof can be determined, and further the corresponding preview screen can be determined.

Assume that the camera includes 3 fixed focus lenses, where FOV of lens 1(1 × focal length) is 108 degrees, focal length EFL is 50mm, 1/2FOV is 54 °, and image height H1 is EFL × tan (1/2FOV) is 50 × tan54 ° -68.8 mm. Similarly, the image heights H2, H3 under lens 2(3 times focal length) and lens 3(5 times focal length) can be calculated, respectively.

Through image recognition, the image height of the rabbit at the current focal length can be calculated, so that the relative relation between the image height of the rabbit at the current focal length and the FOV is obtained, and the relative relation between the image heights of the rabbits at other focal lengths and the FOV can be known by combining the zoom central points (X0 and Y0) obtained in the step 3. Therefore, whether the rabbit can be completely shot under a certain focal length can be judged under each focal length.

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a preview screen according to the present application, and as shown in fig. 5, it is assumed that the resolution of the current mobile phone screen is 1440 × 3120 (screen resolution is the viewing resolution (or sensor resolution)), and the center position of the rabbit can be obtained by image recognition with the lower left corner of the screen as the origin of coordinates (0,0) (X1, Y1). And judging whether Y1+ (H2/2) is larger than 3120, if not, indicating that the rabbit can still be completely shot within the view range after 3 times of magnification. And judging whether Y1+ (H3/2) is larger than 3120, if so, indicating that the rabbit is not in the viewing range of 5 times of the focal length after 5 times of magnification and cannot be completely shot. As shown in fig. 3 b. Thus, the target focal length in this embodiment is 3 times focal length, and the corresponding target lens is the lens 2.

5. The electronic equipment switches the fixed-focus lens or the focal length of the zoom lens to complete the zooming process

Based on the above steps, the electronic device determines that the target lens is the lens 2. The image captured by the lens 2 is displayed on the screen with (X0, Y0) as the center point through the onscale gesturlener interface. As shown in fig. 4, the preview screen after zooming includes: a preview image signal obtained by the lens 3, a partial preview image signal obtained by the lens 2, and a partial preview image signal obtained by the lens 1.

Optionally, the touch gesture in step 1 may also be a double click, for example, the zoom-in gesture is a one-finger double click. In this case, step 3 is to use the position of the double click of the user's finger as the zoom center point.

Optionally, on the premise that the target focal length is not exceeded, the electronic device in step 5 switches the current focal length to a focal length one level larger after recognizing a magnification gesture of a user, for example, the electronic device switches the shooting focal length from the current focal length 1 times to the focal length 3 times, so that even if the rabbit is shot completely under the focal length 5 times; and the user still needs to do the zooming-in gesture again, and the electronic equipment switches the focal length from the focal length of 3 times to the focal length of 5 times according to the recognized zooming-in gesture for the second time.

Optionally, on the premise that the target focal length is not exceeded, in step 5, after the magnification gesture of the user is recognized, the current focal length is directly switched to the target focal length, for example, the rabbit can still be completely shot under the focal length of 5 times, and the electronic device switches the shooting focal length from the current focal length of 1 time to the focal length of 5 times. This may provide for more convenient operation.
