Patent Application
20170171529
The present patent application relates to applications of a 3D technology, and specifically, to a 3D video recording device, a 3D video processing method, and an electronic device.
Vision of a person can distinguish a distance because of a difference of two eyes. Except aiming at the front, two eyes see any one object at different angles. Although the difference is very little, the difference is passed to a brain via a retina, the brain uses the slight difference to produce a depth of far and near, so as to produce a stereoscopic impression. According to the principle, the difference between visual angles of the two eyes is used to manufacture two images, then either of two eyes is allowed to see the image on their own respective sides, and the brain may be allowed to produce a stereoscopic impression of depth of field via the retina. Various stereoscopic demonstration technologies also mostly use the principle, which are called “a polarized light principle.” The 3D technology emerges as the foregoing principle. The current 3D technology develops fast, and 3D films have been widely used in cinemas. However, currently, a technology of directly using a mobile device, such as a cell phone or the like, to shoot 3D does not exist, and in particular, for most mobile devices with single cameras, watching a 3D video while shooting cannot be accomplished.
The present application provides a 3D video recording device, a 3D video processing method, and an electronic device, where the 3D video recording device and the 3D video processing method may enable people to use an electronic device with a single camera to watch a 3D video while shooting.
According to a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a 3D video recording device, where the recording device includes a camera, and the video recording device further includes: a baffle located in the middle of the camera and vertical to the camera; a first reflective mirror group located at one side of the baffle and including: a first reflective mirror; and a second reflective mirror parallel to the first reflective mirror and used to receive light reflected by an object in front of the camera and reflect the light to the first reflective mirror, so that the first reflective mirror further reflects the light to the camera; and a second reflective mirror group located at the other side of the baffle including: a third reflective mirror disposed symmetrically to the first reflective mirror with respect to the baffle and a fourth reflective mirror disposed symmetrically to the second reflective mirror with respect to the baffle.
According to a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides a 3D video processing method, where the processing method includes: S1) parsing each frame of a video shot by the 3D video recording device stated above into an image to obtain multiple images; S2) cutting the multiple images from the middle into multiple left images and multiple right images; S3) performing incomplete overlapping splicing on the multiple left images and the multiple right images to form multiple ghosting images; and S4) synthesizing the multiple ghosting images into a video.
According to a third aspect, an embodiment of the application further provides an electronic device, including: at least one processor; and a memory. The memory stores a program that can be executed by the at least one processor, and the instructions are executed by the at least one processor, so that the at least one processor can execute any of the foregoing 3D video processing method of the application.
In the 3D video recording device, the 3D video processing method, and the electronic device provided in the embodiments of the application, by means of the foregoing technical solutions, in the 3D video recording device provided by some embodiments of the present application, a baffle divides a camera into two parts, wherein a left part uses a first reflective mirror and a second reflective mirror in a first reflective mirror group to reflect an object to the left side of the camera, and a right part uses a third reflective mirror and a fourth reflective mirror in a second reflective mirror group to reflect the object to the right side of the camera, to ensure that an image shot by the camera is divided into a left part and a right part. In the 3D video processing method provided in some embodiments of the present application, each frame of the foregoing image having two parts is parsed to make the image become multiple images, and the multiple images are cut from the middle and are subjected to incomplete overlapping splicing to form a ghosting image, and finally, a video is synthesized. Embodiments of the present application may enable people to use a mobile device with a single camera to watch a 3D video while shooting.
One or more embodiments are exemplarily described by figures corresponding thereto in the accompanying drawings, and the exemplary descriptions do not constitute a limitation on the embodiments. Elements with the same reference numbers in the accompanying drawings represent similar elements. Unless otherwise particularly stated, the figures in the accompanying drawings do not constitute a scale limitation.
To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the application clearer, hereinafter, the technical solutions of the application will be clearly and completely described by implementation manners with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the application. Apparently, the described embodiments are a part rather than all of the embodiments of the application.
Specific implementation manners of the present disclosure are described in detail with reference to the drawings below. It should be understood that specific implementation manners described herein are only used to describe and explain the present disclosure but are not used to limit the present disclosure.
The baffle 1 is located in the middle of the camera and effectively separates light on two sides of the baffle 1, ensuring that the camera can be successfully divided into two parts to shoot an object; the first reflective mirror group and the second reflective mirror group completely correspond about the baffle 1, and the light reflected by a shot object may be reflected to the camera in two separate similar paths. Light at the left side of the baffle 1 is reflected to the camera by the second reflective mirror 4 and the first reflective mirror 3, and light at the right side of the baffle 1 is reflected to the camera by the fourth reflective mirror 6 and the third reflective mirror 5. Here, it is most preferred that the first reflective mirror 3 and the third reflective mirror 5 form an angle of 45 degrees with the camera, and it is most preferred that the second reflective mirror 4 and the fourth reflective mirror 6 are respectively parallel to the first reflective mirror 3 and the third reflective mirror 5, however, which are not limited thereto.
An image shot by the 3D video recording device is roughly as shown in
In this embodiment, the device further includes a telescopic apparatus used to enable the second reflective mirror 4 and the fourth reflective mirror 6 to move towards an opposite direction during extension and retraction to separately enlarge/reduce a distance between the first reflective mirror 3 and the third reflective mirror 5.
When a user wants to shoot a wider range, the user may select the telescopic apparatus, so that the second reflective mirror 4 is away from the first reflective mirror 3, and the fourth reflective mirror 6 is away from the third reflective mirror 5 at the same time. Similarly, if the user wants to shoot a smaller range, the user may use the telescopic apparatus to make the second reflective mirror 4 closer to the first reflective mirror 3 and also make the fourth reflective mirror 6 closer to the third reflective mirror 5.
Step S3) further includes that a distance at which incomplete overlapping splicing is performed on the left image and the right image is a difference of image distance between the first reflective mirror group and the second reflective mirror group, and may also be adjusted by adjusting a sight distance later.
In the foregoing processing process, the most important step is splicing; if the distance between the left image and the right image is not well controlled during splicing, it probably causes weakening of 3D effects or event fails to form 3D effects. If some 3D polarized glasses are used for watching, 3D effects may be adjusted by adjusting glasses; however, if 3D polarized glasses are not adjusted, a distance at which incomplete overlapping splicing is performed on the left image and the right image requires an accurate distance value. After multiple experiments and try-on of glasses, in this embodiment, it is preferably that the distance value is a difference of an image distance between the first reflective mirror group and the second reflective mirror group, and may also be adjusted by adjusting a sight distance later, and is not limited thereto.
As stated above, in the processing method, after processing, people may use polarized 3D glasses for watching; it should be noted that the foregoing processing process not only applies to the video shot by the 3D video recording device stated above but also may process any video similar to the video shot by the 3D video recording device stated above; if a similar film source exists, the 3D video processing method of this embodiment may be directly used for processing.
In this embodiment, the processing method may further include performing red light filtering on the multiple left images and performing blue light filtering on the multiple right images. That is, if an image to be processed is “panchromatic” image (having no obvious red and blue colors and not having red and blue 3D video characteristics), and the image needs to be watched with red and blue glasses, a red and blue light filtering step may be added between the foregoing step S2) and step S3) to perform red light filtering on the left images and perform blue light filtering on the right images.
