According to a further embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset distorting-mirror algorithm may include the steps of equally dividing pixels in a third designated image region into 100 portions along a preset direction and giving different coordinates in order, wherein each portion of pixels corresponds to a coordinate ranging from 1 to 100, the coordinates corresponding to each portion of pixels are transformed according to a preset transformation formula, and finally the each portion of pixels is shifted to the transformed coordinates, wherein the preset direction may be a transverse direction, a longitudinal direction or a circumferential direction and the like.

Specifically, the preset transformation formula specifically may be:

y=10*√{square root over (x)}, or

y=(x/10)²

According to the preset distorting-mirror algorithm, pixels in the third designated image region are equally divided into 100 groups along a transverse direction, and are given coordinates of 0-100 in turn from left to right. According to the preset distorting-mirror algorithm, coordinates corresponding to each portion of pixels are transformed based on y=10*√{square root over (x)} to realize forward compression deformation, then:

a portion of pixels that originally corresponds to a coordinate 0 corresponds to the coordinate 0 after transformation;

a portion of pixels that originally corresponds to a coordinate 10 corresponds to the coordinate 32 after transformation;

a portion of pixels that originally corresponds to a coordinate 20 corresponds to the coordinate 45 after transformation;

a portion of pixels that originally corresponds to a coordinate 30 corresponds to the coordinate 55 after transformation;

a portion of pixels that originally corresponds to a coordinate 40 corresponds to the coordinate 63 after transformation;

Specifically, the preset format may be a JPEG format, a GIF format, a PNG format and the like.

Wherein, after the collected image data is cached to the system memory and the picture generating module 4 generates the compressed and encoded picture according to the processed image data, the system memory that is occupied by the collected by the image data can also be released, so that system efficiency can be increased.

Wherein, when the user selects the transverse expansion button, two longitudinal regulation lines are displayed in the photograph preview interface, the region between the two longitudinal regulation lines is the second designated image region, and the dimension of the second designated image region can be regulated when the user moves any of the longitudinal regulation lines; when the user selects the longitudinal expansion button, two transverse regulation lines are displayed in the photograph preview interface, the region between the two transverse regulation lines is the second designated image region, and the dimension of the second designated image region can be regulated when the user moves any of the transverse regulation lines; when the user selects the circular expansion button, a circular regulation line is displayed in the photograph preview interface, the region surrounded by the circular regulation line is the second designated image region, the dimension of the second designated image region can be regulated when the user regulates the radius of the circle. In addition, the user may regulate the second preset proportion by means of the expansion proportion regulation button or the expansion proportion selection list and the like.

Specifically, the preset transformation formula specifically may be:

y=10*√{square root over (x)}, or

y=(x/10)²

wherein x is a coordinate corresponding to any of the 100 portions of pixels, and y is a transformed coordinate.

Specifically, after the user opens the camera function, a transition mode selection list may be displayed in the photograph preview interface, wherein the transition mode selection list may include a linear transition button, a quadratic function transition button or a circular arc transition button and the like, wherein a first transition straight line and a second transition straight line are displayed in the photograph preview interface when the user selects the linear transition button, a first transition arc line and a second transition arc line are displayed in the photograph preview interface when the user selects the quadratic function transition button, and a transition circular are is displayed in the photograph preview interface when the user selects the circular arc transition button.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device is a mobile phone. With reference to FIG. 12, when the user opens the camera function of the mobile phone, a camera module 11 of the mobile phone captures image data 21, a display module 2 processes the image data 21 according to the preset distorting-mirror algorithm by means of a software system 5, and a display module 3 displays the processed image data 31 on a photograph preview interface 41 of a camera APP in real time. After the user confirms that the current distorting-mirror effect is a required distorting-mirror effect and pushes a photographing button, an instruction receiving module 3 receives a photographing instruction, a picture generating module 4 acquires image data 51 that is collected by the camera module 11, without being compressed, encoded and uploaded in a JPEG format, the picture generating module 4 processes the image data 51 according to the preset distorting-mirror algorithm by means of the software system 5, so as to generate a compressed and encoded picture 61 according to the image data 51, the compressed and encoded picture 61 is a picture in the JPEG format, the camera APP is notified to save the picture to finish photographing.

It should be noted that: according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset distorting-mirror algorithm may include but is not limited to the above four conditions.

According to the device for realizing the photographing effect of the distorting mirror disclosed by the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the operation module operates a photographing mode of the electronic device, each frame image data that is captured by the camera module of the electronic device in real time is acquired, and is processed in real time according to the preset distorting-mirror algorithm, and the processed image data is displayed in the photograph preview interface of the electronic device. After the instruction receiving module receives the photographing instruction, the picture generating module acquires the image data that is collected by the camera module, processes the collected image data according to the preset distorting-mirror algorithm, and generates a compressed and encoded picture according to the processed image data. Therefore, the introduction of the distorting-mirror effect into photographing based on the camera function of the electronic device directly is realized, so that the photograph preview interface and a finished photo can directly present the distorting-mirror effect when the user takes a picture, so that it is intuitional and high-efficiency, and the user experience is good; in addition, as the image data that is collected by the camera module can be processed directly according to the preset distorting-mirror algorithm before the compression and encoding, the pixels of the picture can be prevented from loss to the maximum extent.
