Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present application is a National Phase of International Application No. PCT/CN2019/109482, filed on Sep. 30, 2019 claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201811550596.7, filed on Dec. 18, 2018 and entitled “Panoramic Video Anti-Shake Method and Portable Terminal”, and the content of which is herein incorporated by reference in their entireties.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the field of panoramic video, and particularly to a panoramic video anti-shake method and a portable terminal.

BACKGROUND

At present, when a panoramic video is shot, it is usually to hold a panoramic shooting device in hand to shoot. When a mobile shooting is taken, a phenomenon of jitter occurs in the panoramic shooting video due to unstable hands. When a panoramic view angle is acquired, the focus of the original lens is often lost due to the movement or shaking of the camera, which affects the viewing experience of the panoramic video. One of the current solutions is to use a pan-tilt to stabilize the panoramic shooting device to stabilize the pictures taken. However, the disadvantage is that the pan-tilt is more expensive and the volume is generally larger, and the pan-tilt does not completely solve the problem of picture jitter when shooting the video with a handheld panoramic shooting device.

When a panoramic video viewer wants to watch from a viewing angle of an original motion direction of the video, and the impact of artificial shaking on the video can be avoided, it is necessary to enable the video to keep the viewing angle changing in the original shooting direction and keep the video stable. Accordingly, it is necessary to study a panoramic video anti-shake method that can retain the change state of the original shooting direction of the shooting device.

In order to illustrate the technical solution of the present disclosure, specific embodiments are used for description below.

Embodiment I

Referring to FIG. 1, the panoramic video anti-shake method provided by the Embodiment 1 of the present disclosure includes the following steps.

S101: a world coordinate of any one reference point in a world coordinate system is acquired in real time, and a camera coordinate corresponding to the reference point in a portable terminal and an angular velocity value of a gyroscope in the portable terminal in a current state are simultaneously acquired.

In the embodiment I of the present disclosure, S101 can specifically be as follows.

${\left[\begin{array}{ccc}{r}_{11}& r_{12}& r_{13}\\ r_{21}& r_{22}& r_{23}\\ r_{31}& r_{32}& r_{33}\end{array}\right]}^T·\hspace{1em}\left[\begin{array}{ccc}{r}_{11}& r_{12}& r_{13}\\ r_{21}& r_{22}& r_{23}\\ r_{31}& r_{32}& r_{33}\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}{r}_{11}& r_{12}& r_{13}\\ r_{21}& r_{22}& r_{23}\\ r_{31}& r_{32}& r_{33}\end{array}\right]·{\left[\begin{array}{ccc}{r}_{11}& r_{12}& r_{13}\\ r_{21}& r_{22}& r_{23}\\ r_{31}& r_{32}& r_{33}\end{array}\right]}^T=I,$ I is the unit matrix.

The step of acquiring the angular velocity value of the gyroscope in the portable terminal in real time specifically includes: an angular velocity sensor is adopted to read a three-axis angular velocity value as w_k.

S102: an extended Kalman filter is utilized to smooth a motion of the camera.

The extended Kalman filter algorithm linearizes the nonlinear system, and then performs Kalman filter. The Kalman filter is a high-efficiency recursive filter which can estimate a state of a dynamic system from a series of measurements that do not completely contain noises.

In the embodiment I of the present disclosure, S102 can specifically be as follows.

The extended Kalman filter algorithm is utilized to establish a state model and an observation model of a motion state of the camera; specifically:

the state model is:

$\begin{array}{cc}\{\begin{array}{c}{\tilde{q}}_k=\Phi \left({\tilde{w}}_{k-1}\right)·{\tilde{q}}_{k-1}\\ {\tilde{w}}_k={\tilde{w}}_{k-1}\end{array};& \left(2\right)\end{array}$

the observation model is:

$\begin{array}{cc}\{\begin{array}{c}{q}_k={\tilde{q}}_k\\ w_k={\tilde{w}}_k\end{array}.& \left(3\right)\end{array}$

In the formulas (2) and (3), k is time, w_k is an obtained angular velocity, and q_k is an obtained observation vectors of the rotation quantity; {tilde over (w)}_k and {tilde over (q)}_k are state values of the angular velocity and rotation quantity, {tilde over (w)}_k−1 are {tilde over (q)}_k−1 state values of the angular velocity and rotation quantity at time k−1; q_k is a quaternion representation of R_w2c⁻¹; w_k is the angular velocity value of the gyroscope; w_k=lg(q_k+1·q_k⁻¹), Φ({tilde over (w)}_k−1) is a state transition matrix at the time k−1; Φ({tilde over (w)}_k−1)=exp([{tilde over (w)}_k−1]_x), {tilde over (q)}_k is the quaternion representation of the estimated smoothed motion of the camera, {tilde over (q)}_k is the state value estimated by the value of {tilde over (q)}_k−1 at the previous time.

The specific process of updating the prediction includes: at time k, {tilde over (q)}_k−1 estimated at the previous time and the observation value q_k the current time are utilized to update the estimation of the state variable {tilde over (q)}_k to obtain an estimated value at the current time. The predicted value {tilde over (q)}_k is the rotation quantity of the virtual lens at the k-th time.

S103: the smoothed motion is decomposed, a motion of the virtual lens is synthesized in a free lens mode, and a rotation quantity of the virtual lens is calculated.

In the embodiment I of the present disclosure, S103 can specifically be as follows.

The coordinate of the reference point in the virtual lens is P_c, and the following relationship is specifically included:P_c=R_c2wP_w;  (4)

In formula (4), R_c2w is a 3*3 matrix, which is the rotation quantity of the virtual lens.

The free lens mode is a mode in which motions in the original shooting changing directions of the shooting device are retained. For the synthesized motion of the virtual lens in the free lens mode, the rotation quantity is set as R_c2w={tilde over (R)}, {tilde over (R)} is the original motion trajectory of the shooting device.

the step of decomposing the smoothed motion, synthesizing the motion of the virtual lens in the free lens mode and calculating the rotation quantity of the virtual lens specifically includes:

For the synthesized motion of the virtual lens, the shaking is prevented in the free lens mode, then R_c2w={tilde over (R)}_k, where {tilde over (R)}_k is the rotation quantity of {tilde over (q)}_k.

It should be noted that the Rodrigues formula can be utilized to obtain the rotation matrix R from the quaternion after the unit vector is rotated by an angle θ. Specifically, the quaternion is set as q(θ,x,y,z)^T, then calculation formula of the rotation matrix R is:

$R=\hspace{1em}\hspace{1em}\left[\begin{array}{ccc}\cos \theta +x^2\left(1-\cos \theta \right)& -z\sin \theta +\mathrm{xy}\left(1-\cos \theta \right)& \begin{array}{c}y\sin \theta +\\ \mathrm{xz}\left(1-\cos \theta \right)\end{array}\\ z\sin \theta +\mathrm{xy}\left(1-\cos \theta \right)& \cos \theta +y^2\left(1-\cos \theta \right)& \begin{array}{c}-x\sin \theta +\\ \mathrm{yz}\left(1-\cos \theta \right)\end{array}\\ -y\sin \theta +\mathrm{xz}\left(1-\cos \theta \right)& x\sin \theta +\mathrm{yz}\left(1-\cos \theta \right)& \begin{array}{c}\cos \theta +\\ z^2\left(1-\cos \theta \right)\end{array}\end{array}\right].$

S104: the original video is re-projected according to the rotation quantity of the virtual lens and the rotation matrix by which the camera coordinate is transformed to the world coordinate, to generate a stable video.

In the embodiment I of the present disclosure, S104 can specifically be as follows.

A corresponding relationship between a pixel in the original video frame and a pixel in an output video frame is calculated, and then interpolation resampling is performed on the original video frame according to the corresponding relationship to generate the output video frame, and finally a stable video is generated.

The pixel in the original video frame is set as P_s, and the pixel in the corresponding output video frame is P_d, then the corresponding relationship is: P_s=D_c(K_cR_w2c⁻¹R_c2w⁻¹K_c⁻¹P_d) where P_s=[x_s,y_s]^T, P_d=[x_d,y_d]^T, x_s and y_s are the coordinate values of the abscissa and ordinate of the pixel P_s in the original video frame; x_d and y_d are the coordinate values of the abscissa and ordinate of the pixel P_d in the output video frame respectively; K_c and D_c are respectively an internal parameter and a distortion model of the camera, K_cis a projection internal parameter of the virtual lens.

Then the step of performing the interpolation resampling on the original video frame I_s according to the corresponding relationship and generating the output video frame I_d specifically includes:

$\begin{array}{cc}{I}_d\left(P_d\right)=\frac{\sum w_i{I}_s\left(P_s^i\right)}{\sum w_i}& \left(5\right)\end{array}$
