It should be understood that prior to using the technical solutions disclosed in the various embodiments of the present disclosure, the type, scope of use, use scenario, etc. of personal information involved in the present disclosure should be informed to and authorized by the user in an appropriate manner according to relevant laws and regulations.
With the development of network technology, increasingly more applications come into user's life, and especially, a series of software which are capable of shooting short videos are favored by users.
In the prior art, a software developer may add various effect objects in an application for users in shooting a video. However, the effect objects provided for the user are limited at present, and the quality of the video and the richness of the content thereof need to be further improved. Meanwhile, when an effect object is an object with a certain growth rule, a pattern style of an effect image of the effect object is usually set in advance, and the pattern style of the generated effect image of the effect object may have certain limitations of single display effects, resulting poor user experience with the application software.
For example, in response to an active request from a user, prompt information is sent to the user to explicitly prompt the user that the operation requested to be executed will require obtaining and using personal information of the user. Accordingly, the user can autonomously select whether to provide personal information to software or hardware, such as an electronic device, an application program, a server or a storage medium which execute the operation of the technical solution of the present disclosure, according to prompt information.
As an alternative but non-limiting implementation, in response to an active request from a user, the prompt message may be sent to the user, for example, in the manner of a pop-up window in which the prompt message may be presented in text. In addition, the pop-up window may also carry a selection control for the user to select “agree” or “disagree” to provide personal information to the electronic device.
It is to be understood that the above-described notification and obtaining user authorization processes are merely illustrative and do not limit the implementation of the present disclosure, and that other ways of satisfying relevant laws and regulations may also be applied to implementations of the present disclosure.
It is understood that the data involved in the present technical solution (including but not limited to the data itself and the acquisition or use of the data) shall comply with the requirements of relevant laws and regulations and relevant provisions.
Before introducing the present solution, an application scenario may be exemplified. The technical solution can be applied to any scene in which effect images of effect objects need to be generated. Illustratively, upon the detection that an image generation condition is satisfied, an effect image of an effect object may be generated, and the generated effect image may be added to a video picture displayed in a terminal device display interface. In the related art, an effect image of an effect object is generally pre-generated, and in response to an image generation condition being satisfied, the pre-generated effect image is called and added to a video picture. In such way, there may be some limitations in the pattern of the effect image of the generated effect object that the display effect of the effect image is relatively single.
In this regard, based on a technical solution of an embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one piece of extension information of an effect object can be determined according to an initial point, a target offset, and a target parameter in response to an image generation condition being satisfied. Furthermore, an effect image of the effect object is drawn according to the determined extension information. Thus, the effect of generating an effect image of an effect object at random is realized, and furthermore, the display effect of the effect image is improved on the basis of ensuring the generation efficiency of the effect image.
As shown in
S110, determining a reference trunk direction of an effect object according to a predetermined initial point and a target offset in response to an image generation condition being satisfied.
In the present embodiment, the image generation condition may be a predetermined condition that triggers the effect image generation. The image generation condition may be any condition capable of triggering effect image generation. The initial point can be understood as a starting point corresponding to an effect object being generated iteratively, i.e. extending from this point during the iteration. The initial point may be determined randomly or based on a predetermined rule, which is not particularly limited by the embodiments of the present disclosure. The target offset may be understood as a directional offset generated according to a predetermined rule. The target offset may be a randomly generated random offset. Note that the benefit of randomly generating the target offset is that: the randomness of the pattern shape of the final effect image can be ensured, and the interest and diversity of the effect image can be improved. The target offset may be a vector with a direction, i.e. the target offset includes both an offset magnitude and an offset direction. The effect object can be understood as an effect element that can be added in an image or a video. The effect object may be an object with a well-defined growth pattern. Alternatively, effect objects may be snowflakes, paws, branches, etc. The reference trunk direction can be understood as a reference standard on which a trunk direction of the effect object is determined, namely, the trunk direction of the effect object can be determined between the direction and the extension direction corresponding to the initial point.
In practical applications, the reference trunk direction of the effect object can usually be determined only if the image generation condition is satisfied, then the image generation condition may comprise at least one of the following:
The first way may be: triggering a control for generating an effect image corresponding to the effect object.
In the present embodiment, the control for triggering an effect prop may be set in advance, or, an effect generation object which is a control for generating a corresponding effect image, may be set in advance. Also, the set controls may be displayed in an effect prop display page. When it is detected that the user triggers the control for generating the effect image corresponding to the effect object, it can be determined that the effect generation condition is satisfied.
The second way may be: a multimedia data stream comprising a predetermined picture content and/or a predetermined audio clip.
In the present embodiment, the multimedia data stream may be a data stream comprised of at least one media type (e.g. image, text, audio, video, etc.). In embodiments of the present disclosure, the multimedia data stream may comprise an audio stream and/or a video stream. The predetermined picture content can be understood to be predetermined picture content for triggering addition of the effect image. Illustratively, in the case where the effect image is a snowflake pattern, the corresponding predetermined picture content thereof may be a snow scene picture. The predetermined audio clip may be understood to be a predetermined audio clip for triggering addition of the effect image. Illustratively, in the case where the effect image is a claw pattern, the corresponding predetermined audio piece thereof may be an animal vocal audio.
In a practical application, some picture contents may be set as effect trigger picture contents in advance, and some audio clips may also be set as effect trigger audio clips in advance. Furthermore, the multimedia data stream received by a terminal device can be analyzed and processed, and in the case where it is determined that the multimedia data stream comprises the predetermined picture content and/or the predetermined audio clip, it can be determined that the image generation condition is satisfied. Illustratively, in determining that snow scene content is included in the multimedia data stream, the snowflake pattern may be added to the multimedia data stream.
A third way may be: a current environmental parameter matching a predetermined environmental parameter for adding an effect image.
In the present embodiment, the current environmental parameter can be understood as the corresponding environmental parameter upon receiving the effect image generation requirements. The current environmental parameter may comprise a plurality of environmental parameters characterizing the environment to which the terminal device belongs, and optionally may comprise date, weather, etc. The predetermined environmental parameters may be predetermined environmental parameters corresponding to triggering addition of the effect image. Illustratively, in the case where the effect image is the snowflake pattern, the corresponding predetermined environmental parameter may be the date for Christmas or the weather for snowfall.
In practical applications, some link parameters can be set in advance as environmental parameters corresponding to addition of the effect image, and then the predetermined environmental parameters can be determined. Furthermore, the current environmental parameters can be analyzed and processed, and when it is determined that the current environmental parameters match the predetermined environmental parameters with the addition of the effect image, it can be determined that the image generation condition is satisfied. Illustratively, the snowflake pattern may be added upon determining that the date in the current environmental parameter is Christmas.
It should be noted that the image generation condition including the above-mentioned various means is advantageous in that: the diversity of image generation conditions is enhanced, and the intelligence of image generation trigger mechanism is improved.
Furthermore, in response to the image generation condition being satisfied, the reference trunk direction of the effect object can be determined according to the initial point and the target offset. It should be noted that the target offset is the distance between a straight line corresponding to the reference trunk direction and an initial extension straight line corresponding to the initial point, and therefore when the reference trunk direction is determined based on the initial point and the target offset, the direction of the initial extension straight line, i.e. the initial direction starting from the initial point, can also be determined. Further, the reference trunk direction may be determined from the initial point, the initial direction and the target offset.
Optionally, determining the reference trunk direction of the effect object according to the predetermined initial point and the target offset, comprising: determining the reference trunk direction of the effect object according to the predetermined initial point, the initial direction and the target offset.
In the present embodiment, the initial direction may be understood as a direction vector starting from the initial point, and the direction vector may be set on the basis of determining the initial point.
In practice, the predetermined initial point and the initial direction may be determined and the target offset may be randomly determined. Furthermore, the offset can be executed according to an offset size and an offset direction in the target offset on the basis of the initial direction to obtain the offset direction, and the offset direction can be used as the reference trunk direction of the effect object.
S120, determining at least one piece of extension information according to the initial point, the reference trunk direction and a predetermined target parameter.
In the present embodiment, the target parameter may be understood as a parameter for determining the effect image. The target parameter may be a parameter based on an array characterization of any dimension, alternatively a two-dimensional array. The target parameter may also be a randomly generated parameter, in which case the target parameter may be a set of random numbers. The extension information can be understood as effect generation information on which the effect object is generated, and can also be understood as information characterizing the extension of the effect object. The extension information comprises an extension position and a corresponding target extension direction. The extension position is understood to be a position corresponding to the end of the iteration during this iteration. The target extension direction may be understood as a growth direction of the special object, which may be determined from the initial point and the extension position. It should be noted that the effect object may generally be composed of trunks and/or branches, and therefore, the trunk extension information and/or the branch extension information may be included in the determined at least one piece of extension information. The trunk extension information can be understood as information characterizing the trunk extension of the effect object. The branch extension information can be understood as information characterizing the branch extension of an effect object.
In practice, the target parameter for generating the effect image may also be determined before determining at least one piece of extension information based on the initial point, the reference trunk direction and the target parameter.
Optionally, determining the target parameter for generating the effect image, comprising: determining the target parameter according to a predetermined interval between adjacent video frames, position information of at least one element in an initialization parameter, and a target function.
In the present embodiment, a frame rate of the video frame may be obtained and the frame rate may be inverted to obtain the inverse of the frame rate. Further, the resulting reciprocal may be taken as the interval between adjacent video frames. The initialization parameter may be understood as an array of initial values. The dimension of the initialization parameter coincides with the dimension of the target parameter. It should be noted that the dimension size of the initialization parameter (or the target parameter) can determine the fineness of the finally generated effect image, i.e. the difference between a straight line and a curved line in the effect image can be clearly perceived. The position information of an element can be understood as the number of rows and columns the element is in in the array. The target function may be understood as a predetermined function for determining the objective parameter. The target parameter includes at least one pseudo-random number. A pseudo-random number refers to a sequence of random numbers generated by an algorithm. The pseudo-random number is not a true random number, but has statistical characteristics similar to a random number. The pseudo-random number may range from [0, 1].
In practice, the initialization parameters may be determined first and the interval between the adjacent video frames are determined. Furthermore, with regard to each element in the initialization parameter, position information of the current element in the initialization parameter can be acquired, and the position information and the interval are input into the target function, i.e. a parameter corresponding to the current element can be output. Further, according to the position information of the current element in the initialization parameter, the parameter can be updated to the initialization parameter so as to replace the current element with the corresponding parameter. Further, each element in determining the initialization parameter is replaced with a corresponding parameter, and the array obtained at this time can be taken as the target parameter. Be advantageously arranged such that the correlation between the target parameter and the video frames is improved, and then the effect that the generated target parameter provides the data basis for subsequent generation of the effect image is realized, and the finally generated effect image can be switched according to the switching frequency of the video frame.
Further, after determining the target parameter, the extension information may be determined based on the initial point, the target parameter and the reference trunk direction. It is noted that the advantage of determining the extension information based on the target parameter comprising the pseudo-random number is that: based on the pseudo-random number in the target parameters, the extension rule of the effect object can be reflected, and meanwhile, randomness of a pattern shape of the effect image can be guaranteed, and pattern diversity of the effect image can be improved.
In practice, at least one pseudo-random number may be included in the target parameter, with each pseudo-random number having corresponding position information. The effect object may be the effect pattern extending from the initial point to the outside of a region where the initial point is located. Therefore, in a practical application, at least one parameter may be obtained by taking the initial point as one of the elements in the target parameter, and determining a parameter of at least one vicinity position adjacent to the position according to the position of the element in the target parameter. Further, the target number that satisfies the effect object generation requirement may be determined from the at least one parameter. Furthermore, the vicinity position of the target number can be determined, and the extension information can be determined from the vicinity position, the initial point and the reference trunk direction. Illustratively, assuming that the target parameter is an N×N array, i.e.
the position of the initial point within the target parameter is the third row and the fourth column, the initial point may be α3×4. Further, the vicinity may be determined to be 1, and the parameter of the at least one vicinity position corresponding to the initial point may include α2×3, α2×4, α2×5, α3×3, α3×5, α4×3, α4×4 and α4×5.
It is to be noted that, in the case where there is no target number satisfying the effect object generation requirement among the determined at least one parameter, a determination range of the vicinity position can be expanded, and a parameter of the at least one vicinity position with the expanded range can be determined. Furthermore, the target number satisfying the effect object generation requirement can be selected from at least one parameter obtained at this time. Illustratively, with continued reference to the above example, if the target number cannot be determined from the eight parameters determined in the case where the vicinity is 1, the vicinity may be determined to be 2, and the parameter of at least one vicinity position corresponding to the initial point may include α1×2, α1×3, α1×4, α1×5, α1×6, α2×2, α2×6, α3×2, α3×6, α4×2, α4×6, α5×2, α5×3, α5×4, α5×5 and α5×6.
It should also be noted that the number of target numbers determined may be one or more. In general, a branch can be extended on the basis of a trunk, and in the case where the number of target numbers is one, the determined extension information can be trunk extension information, namely, a trunk extension direction and a trunk extension position in the trunk extension information can be determined according to the vicinity position, the initial point and the reference trunk direction of the target numbers; in the case where the number of target numbers is plural, the determined extension information may include the trunk extension information and the branch extension information.
S130, generating an effect image of the effect object based on the at least one piece of extension information.
In the present embodiment, the effect images may be the effect elements that include effect objects and can be added in other images. The effect image may comprise any pattern of trunks and/or branches, and optionally may comprise the snowflake pattern, the claw pattern, and the branch pattern, etc. Illustratively, as shown in
In practice, the at least one piece of extension information is determined based on the initial point, and accordingly, the at least one piece of extension information may determine at least part of the pattern of the effect object. Thus, after determining the at least one piece of extension information, the local pattern of the effect object can be determined based on the at least one piece of extension information. Further, a partial image in the effect image may be determined according to the local pattern. Furthermore, in order to ensure the integrity of the effect image, the part of the image can be rotated with the initial point as the rotation center, and the image obtained by 360° rotation is taken as the effect image.
In the technical solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the reference trunk direction of the effect object is by determined according to the predetermined initial point and the target offset in response to the image generation condition being satisfied, and at least one piece of extension information is determined according to the initial point, the reference trunk direction and a predetermined target parameter, and finally the effect image of the effect object is generated based on the at least one piece of extension information, solving the problems of a certain limitation of a pattern style of the generated effect image of the effect object and a relatively single display effect of the effect image in the related art, achieving the effect of generating effect images of effect objects randomly, and improving the display effect of effect images on the basis of ensuring the efficiency of generating effect images.
As shown in
S210, determining a reference trunk direction of an effect object according to a predetermined initial point and a target offset in response to an image generation condition being satisfied.
S220, determining the initial position of the initial point within the target parameter.
In the present embodiment, the initial position can be understood as a row and column position information of the initial point within the target parameter.
In practical applications, in the case of obtaining the target parameter, the position information of an element can be randomly determined in the target parameter. Further, the position information may be regarded as the initial position of the initial point within the target parameter.
S230 determining, among the target parameter, a parameter to be selected of at least one vicinity position adjacent to the initial position.
In the present embodiment, the vicinity position may be a position determined based on the vicinity corresponding to the initial position. The vicinity corresponding to the initial position refers to a region constructed with the initial position as the center and with a predetermined distance. The vicinity may include a variety of vicinitys and, optionally, may include a 4-vicinity, a D-vicinity, or an 8-vicinity, etc. As an example, assuming that the initial position is (x,y), and the predetermined distance is 1, and four vicinity positions of the 4-vicinity corresponding to the initial position may comprise (x,y−1), (x,y+1), (x−1,y) and (x+1,y), and the four vicinity positions of the D-vicinity corresponding to the initial position may comprise (x+1,y+1), (x+1,y−1), (x−1,y+1) and (x−1,y−1); the eight vicinity positions of the 8-vicinity corresponding to the initial position may include (x,y−1), (x,y+1), (x−1,y), (x+1,y), (x+1,y+1), (x+1,y−1), (x−1,y+1) and (x−1,y−1). In the target parameter, parameter at each vicinity position is the parameter to be selected.
In practical applications, after the initial position is determined, a distance can be determined according to a predetermined determined vicinity, and a vicinity centered on the initial position is determined. Further, at least one vicinity position may be determined from the vicinity. Further, among the target parameters, a parameter corresponding to each vicinity position may be determined, and further, at least one parameter to be selected may be obtained.
Illustratively, assuming the initial position of the initial point within the target parameter is the third row and the fourth column, the parameter corresponding to the initial point may be α3×4. Further, the vicinity may be determined to be 1, and the parameter to be selected of at least one vicinity position adjacent to the initial position may include α2×3, α2×4, α2×5, α3×3, α3×5, α4×3, α4×4 and α4×5.
S240, determining at least one target number according to the parameter to be selected and the predetermined parameter threshold.
In the present embodiment, the predetermined parameter threshold may be any value in an interval of values corresponding to each parameter in the target parameter, and may optionally be 0.5.
In practical applications, after at least one parameter to be selected is determined, each parameter to be selected can be compared with the predetermined parameter threshold, and then at least one target number can be determined from the parameters to be selected according to the comparison result.
It should be noted that the finally determined target number is used for determining the extension information of the effect object, and before the extension information is determined, the position information between the extension information and the initial point can be predetermined, namely, whether the finally determined extension information is expected to be located above or below the horizontal line where the initial point is located, and a constraint condition can be determined based on the expected position information. Furthermore, when the target number is determined from the parameter to be selected, in addition to depending on the size relationship between the parameter to be selected and the predetermined parameter threshold, the parameter to be selected can also be filtered first according a predetermined constraint condition. Furthermore, the finally filtered parameter to be selected can be taken as the target number.
Optionally, at least one target number is determined according to the parameter to be selected and the predetermined parameter threshold, comprising: determining a parameter to be used according to a first constraint condition and a vicinity position of the parameter to be selected; taking the parameter to be used greater than the predetermined parameter threshold as the target number.
The first constraint condition is a constraint condition for constraining position information of the target number in the target parameter. Alternatively, the first constraint may comprise that the position information of the target number in the target parameter is above or below the row where the initial position is located.
In a practical application, after at least one parameter to be selected is determined, the position information of each parameter to be selected in the target parameter can be determined, i.e. the vicinity position of each parameter to be selected is determined. Then, each vicinity position can be filtered according to the first constraint condition, and vicinity positions satisfying the first constraint condition can be filtered out, and a parameter to be selected corresponding to the filtered vicinity position can be taken as the parameter to be used. Further, each parameter to be used may be compared with a predetermined parameter threshold, and the parameter to be used greater than the predetermined parameter threshold may be used as the target number. Be advantageously arranged such that the effect of making the finally obtained target number satisfy the expected extension direction of the effect object is realized, and furthermore, the matching degree between the display effect of the effect image of the effect object and the real display effect is improved.
Illustratively, with continued reference to the above example, the parameter corresponding to the initial position may be α3×4. Further, the parameters to be selected for at least one vicinity position adjacent to the initial position may include α2×3, α2×4, α2×5, α3×3, α3×5, α4×3, α4×4 and α4×5. Assuming that the first constraint condition is that the position information of the constraint target number is above the row where the initial position is located, the parameter to be used obtained after filtering the parameters to be selected according to the first constraint condition can be (2×3, α2×4, α2×5, α3×3 and α3×5, wherein, α2×3 is 0.4, α2×4 is 0.6, α2×5 is 0.8, α3×3 is 0.3 and α3×5 is 0.4. Further, assuming that the predetermined parameter threshold is 0.5, the finally obtained target number is α2×4 and α2×5.
It should be noted that when the target number is determined from at least one parameter to be selected, the vicinity position of each parameter to be selected may also be filtered without depending on the first constraint condition, that is to say, after at least one parameter to be selected is determined, each parameter to be selected may be directly compared with the predetermined parameter threshold, and the parameter to be selected greater than the predetermined parameter threshold may be taken as the target number.
Furthermore, if there is the target number in at least one parameter to be selected, the number of the target numbers may be one or more; if there is no target number in at least one parameter to be selected, the parameter to be selected of at least one vicinity position corresponding to the initial position can be re-determined, and the target number is determined in the re-determined at least one parameter to be selected, and the process of re-determining the parameter to be selected can refer to the contents described in the step S120, and the embodiments of the present disclosure will not be described in detail here.
S250, determining a target extension direction and an extension position contained in the extension information based on a vicinity position corresponding to the at least one target number, the reference trunk direction and the initial point.
In the present embodiment, after at least one target number is determined, the position information of each target in the target parameter can be determined, and the position information is taken as the vicinity position corresponding to the target number.
Note that the number of the at least one target number may be one or more. In the case where the number of target numbers is one, the determined extension information may comprise trunk extension information; in the case where the number of target numbers is plural, the determined extension information may include the trunk extension information and the branch extension information. The determination process of the extension information corresponding to one target number and a plurality of target numbers will be described below.
Optionally, the target number comprises one, and the extension information comprises the trunk extension information. Determining the extension direction and the extension position of the target in the extension information based on the vicinity position corresponding to the at least one target number, the reference trunk direction and the initial point comprises: taking the vicinity position of the target number in the target parameter as the extension position in the trunk extension information; determining the target trunk extension direction and target trunk extension length of effect object according to the extension position and the initial point.
In practical applications, in the case where the number of targets is one, the vicinity position of the number of targets in the target parameter can be determined, and the vicinity position is taken as the extension position in the trunk extension information, i.e. the position where a trunk extension end point is located. Further, the initial point may be taken as an extension start point, the extension position may be taken as the extension end point, and a connecting line between the extension start point and the extension end point may be determined, and a direction pointing from the extension start point to the extension end point may be taken as the target trunk extension direction, and a length of the connecting line may be taken as a target trunk extension length. Be advantageously arranged such that the effect of determining the trunk extension information of effect object based on target parameters is realized, and the effect of reflecting the random generation of the effect object on the basis of ensuring the trunk extension trend is realized.
Illustratively, as shown in
Optionally, the target number may comprise a plurality of target numbers and the extension information comprises the trunk extension information and the branch extension information.
Determining the target extension direction and the target extension position contained in the extension information based on the vicinity position corresponding to the at least one target number, the reference trunk direction and the initial point comprises: determining relative deflection angles between connecting lines between the initial point and the vicinity positions corresponding to a plurality of the target numbers and the reference trunk direction; taking the vicinity position corresponding to a minimum relative deflection angle as the trunk extension position in the trunk extension information, and determining the target trunk extension direction in the trunk extension information according to the trunk extension position and the initial point; taking the vicinity position corresponding to other target number as the branch extension position in branch extension information, and determining the target branch extension direction in the branch extension information according to the branch extension position and the initial point.
In the present embodiment, the trunk extension position is a position corresponding to the extension end point of the trunk determined this time. The target trunk extension direction is the direction from the initial point to the trunk extension position. The branch extension position may be a position corresponding to the extension end point of the branch determined at this time. The target branch extension direction is a direction from the initial point to the branch extension position.
In practical applications, when the target number comprises a plurality of target numbers, the connecting line between the initial point and the vicinity position corresponding to each target number can be respectively determined, and then a plurality of connecting lines can be obtained. Further, the angle between each line and the reference trunk direction may be determined separately and may be taken as the relative deflection angle. Further, a plurality of relative deflection angles can be obtained. Then, the minimum relative deflection angle among the plurality of relative deflection angles can be determined, and a target number corresponding to the relative deflection angles can be determined, and a vicinity position corresponding to the target number can be taken as the trunk extension position in the trunk extension information. Thereafter, the direction in which the starting point point to the trunk extension position may be taken as the target trunk extension direction. Furthermore, for other target numbers except the target number corresponding to the minimum relative deflection angle, the vicinity position corresponding to each other target number may be taken as the branch extension position, and the direction in which the initial point points to the branch extension position may be taken as the target branch extension direction in the branch extension information. Be advantageously arranged such that the effect of determining the trunk extension information and branch extension information of effect objects based on target parameters is realized, and the effect of representing the random generation of effect objects on the basis of ensuring the trunk extension trend and branch extension trend of effect objects is realized.
Illustratively, with reference to
It should be noted that the above-mentioned process of determining the extension information can be an iterative process in an effect object generation process, and after the extension information is determined, the next iteration can be started until the finally obtained extension position reaches the predetermined extension boundary, and the iteration can be stopped, and finally the at least one piece of extension information for generating the effect image of the effect object is obtained.
Based on this, after the extension position is determined, the method further comprises: taking a point corresponding to the extension position as the initial point, and repeatedly executing the step of determining at least one piece of extension information according to the initial point, the reference trunk direction and the predetermined target parameter.
