FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a special effect display method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method may be performed by a special effect display apparatus. The special effect display apparatus may be implemented using software and/or hardware and may generally be integrated into an electronic device. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes S101 to S104.

In Step 101, images of a captured video are obtained.

The images of the captured video are images including a part or all of user's body parts within a current image acquisition range. The images captured video may include user's face, head, limbs, and background and the like.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a client acquires and displays the images of the captured video through an image acquisition module, in response to a special effect display instruction from a user. The special effect display instruction refers to an instruction to start special effect display, which is generated by the user's triggering operation on a preset button. The mode of the triggering operation is not limited herein, such as clicking on a preset button. The preset button may be set in hardware or software manners. The special effect display instruction may also be generated based on a voice instruction inputted by a user. For example, after receiving a voice inputted by the user, it may be determined whether the voice is a preset voice. If the voice is determined to be a preset voice, a special effect display instruction is generated.

In Step 102, position information of a recognition object is determined based on the images of the captured video, and a trajectory recording image is drawn based on the position information of the recognition object.

The recognition object may be a preset body part of the user. For example, the recognition object may include a nose and eyes in a human face, and fingers, which can be set according to the actual situation. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the recognition object being a preset part of a human face is taken as an example. The preset part may be any part of the face, such as a nose, a mouth, and eyes. The trajectory recording graph is an image used to record an action trajectory of the preset part of the user's face.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after obtaining the images of the captured video, the client detects a human face in the images of the captured video in an image recognition algorithm, and determines position information of the preset part of the face, that is, determines the position information of the recognition object. Then, the client draws a trajectory recording graph based on the position information of the recognition object. The position information of the recognition object may be coordinates of the recognition object in the images of the captured video, and the origin of the coordinates is determined based on the actual situation.

In an embodiment, the process of drawing the trajectory recording image based on the position information of the recognition object includes: creating a canvas, and drawing in the canvas circular areas at two positions corresponding to the recognition object based on the position information of the recognition object in the first and second frame images of the captured video; determining a target line connecting the two positions, and determining a trajectory area based on the target line, where a distance of points in the trajectory area to the target line is less than or equal to a radius of the circular area; setting transparencies of the two circular areas and the trajectory area to transparent to obtain the trajectory recording image. In an embodiment, the process of determining the trajectory area based on the target line includes: determining target points between the two positions; filtering and drawing the target points based on a distance of each target point to the target line, to obtain the trajectory area, where an angle between a first line corresponding to the target point and the target line and an angle between a second line corresponding to the target point and the target line are both acute angles, and the first line and the second line are lines respectively connecting the target point and the two positions.

The canvas is a foundation used to generate a trajectory recording image through drawing. Color and size of the canvas are not limited. For example, the canvas may be a black canvas. Specifically, the client determines the position information of the recognition object in each frame image of the captured video; and draws circular areas with a preset radius at two positions of the recognition object, based on the position information of the recognition object in the first and second frame images. The preset radius may be a brush radius in the case that the brush is a circular brush. Then, the client determines an angle between the first line corresponding to each point between the two positions and the target line and an angle between the second line corresponding to each point between the two positions and the target line, to determine points with two corresponding acute angles as target points; filters and draws target points with a distance to the target line less than or equal to the radius of the circular area, to obtain a trajectory area. The trajectory area may be a rectangular area. The two circular areas and a trajectory area obtained from the above process are an action drawing area of the recognition object in the first and second frame images. The transparency of the two circular areas and a trajectory area is set to transparent on the canvas, to obtain the trajectory recording image. In an embodiment, the two circular areas and the trajectory area may be filled with a preset color on the canvas to obtain the trajectory recording image. The preset color refers to a color different from the canvas color. For example, when the canvas is black, the preset color may be white.

In Step 103, superposition processing is performed on the trajectory recording image and a preset special effect material image to obtain a unit special effect image.

The special effect material image may be understood as a basic image used to generate a unit special effect image. The special effect material image may be regarded as an initial paper in analogy with paper-cuts. The special effect material image may be a sector diagram filled with a fixed color. The color, shape and angle of the sector diagram may be set according to the actual situation. For example, the special effect material image may be a red sector diagram with an angle of 30 degrees. The shape and size of the trajectory recording image may be the same as or different from those of the special effect material image, which will not be limited herein. The superposition processing is used to replace a background of the trajectory recording image with the special effect material image.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after obtaining a trajectory recording image, the client obtains the preset special effect material image and replaces the background of the trajectory recording image with the special effect material image to obtain a unit special effect image. Then, the unit special effect image may be displayed, and the trajectory recording area in the unit special effect image may be highlighted.

In Step 104, transformation processing is performed on the unit special effect image to generate a target special effect image, and the target special effect image is added to the images of the captured video for display, where the target special effect image is combined by multiple unit special effect images.

The target special effect image refers to a complete special effect image generated based on the unit special effect image, which may be obtained by combining multiple unit special effect images. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, taking the target special effect image being a special effect image of paper-cuts as an example, the target special effect image may be understood as a special effect image similar to paper-cuts obtained by paper cutting.

Transformation processing includes an operation for transforming the unit special effect image, which may include a first transformation operation or a second transformation operation. The first transformation operation includes a replication operation and a mirroring operation. The second transformation operation includes a rotation operation and a moving operation. The replication operation refers to an operation of making multiple identical images for the unit special effect image. The mirroring operation refers to an operation of making, for the unit special effect image, an image arranged in a reverse order relative to an axis interleaved with the unit special effect image or a plane interleaved with the unit special effect image. The rotation operation refers to rotating the unit special effect image at a certain angle. The transformation parameter corresponding to the transformation processing is adjustable. The transformation parameter includes at least one of replication times corresponding to the replication operation, a rotation angle corresponding to the rotation operation, an image position, and an image size. The dynamic control of transformation parameter may be achieved by developers, implementing a diversity of the generated target special effect images.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the superposition processing may be performed on the trajectory recording image and the preset special effect material image, to obtain the unit special effect image, and the transformation processing is performed on the unit special effect image to generate the target special effect image. The above superposition processing and transformation processing may be carried out synchronously, or the superposition processing is performed first and then the transformation processing is performed according to actual needs.

After acquiring the images of the captured video, the client displays the images of the captured video on an image display interface, and draws a trajectory recording image based on the position information of the reorganization object in the images of the captured video. A target special effect image is generated after the trajectory recording image is drawn, and the target special effect image is added to the images of the captured video in a set animation mode for display. The target special effect image may be superimposed on the images of the captured video to be fully displayed, and the images of the captured video are partially covered to highlight the target special effect image.

In an embodiment, a process of adding the target special effect image to the images of the captured video for display includes: adding the target special effect image to the images of the captured video in a set animation mode for display after the trajectory recording image is drawn. The set animation mode refers to a preset dynamic effect display mode, which may be set according to the actual situation. For example, the set animation mode includes: moving the target special effect image up a preset distance, and then displaying the target special effect one by one from a unit special effect image to both sides until the target special effect image is fully displayed. After the trajectory recording image is drawn, the generated target special effect image is inputted into a set animation program to display the target special effect image to the user in the set animation mode.

In the above solution, the target special effect image may be displayed in the preset animation mode after it is generated, so that users feel the target special effect image with animation effects, improving the entertaining of the special effect display.

As an example, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing special effect display according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing special effect display according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. FIGS. 2 and 3 are two schematic diagrams showing a display process of the generated target special effect image in a set animation mode. As shown in FIG. 2, the target special effect image is a special effect image of paper-cut. Only the upper half of the paper-cut pieces is displayed in FIG. 2, and the displayed paper-cut pieces have different transparency. Other paper-cut pieces have not been displayed yet. As shown in FIG. 3, the target special effect image has been fully displayed in the set animation mode, and all paper-cut pieces have the same transparency. It can be understood that FIGS. 2 and 3 above show only examples of the target special effect image, and the parameter, such as the shape, size, position, of the target special effect image may be dynamically adjusted according to actual needs.

With the special effect display solution according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, images of a captured video are obtained; position information of a recognition object is determined based on the images of the captured video, and a trajectory recording image is drawn based on the position information of the recognition object. Superposition processing is performed on the trajectory recording image and a preset special effect material image to obtain a unit special effect image. Transformation processing is performed on the unit special effect image to generate a target special effect image, and the target special effect image is added to the images of the captured video for display. The target special effect image is combined by multiple unit special effect images. By the above technical solution, a trajectory recording image is generated based on the position change of the recognition object in the images of the captured video. Then, the trajectory recording image and the special effect material image may be superimposed to obtain the unit special effect image, and a special effect image may be obtained by performing transformation processing on the unit special effect image. The special effect image may be displayed to the user, achieving the special effect display based on the user's actions. As the displayed special effect image is generated by combining multiple unit special effect images, the richness and entertaining of special effect display are improved, and thus the user's interactive experience is enhanced.

In some embodiments, the special effect display method may further include: displaying the unit special effect image in real-time on the images of the captured video in the process of drawing the trajectory recording image. In an embodiment, the process of displaying the unit special effect image in real-time in the process of drawing the trajectory recording image may include: setting transparency of other areas in the target special effect image except the unit special effect image to transparent in the process of drawing the trajectory recording image, to obtain a special effect image to be displayed; superimposing the special effect image to be displayed on the images of the captured video for display.

In the process of drawing the trajectory recording image, superposition processing is performed on the trajectory recording image and special effect material image in real-time to generate the unit special effect image, and the unit special effect image is displayed in real-time on the images of the captured video. In the real-time superposition processing, a complete trajectory recording image is superposed with the special effect material image. Alternatively, an image of change in the action trajectory area of a real-time current frame image and a previous frame image in the trajectory recording image is be superposed with the special effect material image. Moreover, when the unit special effect image is displayed in real-time, as the target special effect image is obtained by combining multiple unit special effect images, the transparency of the area in the target special effect image except the unit special effect image is set to transparent to obtain the special effect image to be displayed. Only one unit-special effect image in the special effect image to be displayed is opaque, and the special effect image to be displayed is superimposed on the images of captured video for display. The transparency for opaque unit-special effect image is not limited, for example, the transparency may be set to 50%.

As an example, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing special effect display according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of an image display interface in the process of generating the target special effect. In FIG. 4, only a unit special effect image 10 is shown, and the unit special effect image 10 is superimposed on the image of the captured video for display. A transparent action trajectory recording area generated based on user actions is shown in the unit special effect image 10. This area constantly changes with user actions. A progress bar for generating the special effect image may be display at the top of the image display interface in FIG. 4. The progress bar continues to advance with time and stop until the preset time is reached and the progress bar is filled. In the image display interface shown in FIG. 4, atmosphere effect elements may also displayed on interface borders to match the current special effect image, enhancing the user's immersive experience.

In the above solution, real-time display is performed in the process of generating the special effect image, so that users can feel in real time the changes in special effects with the action change, further improving the richness and entertaining of the special effect display, and enhancing the user's interactive experience.

In some embodiments, the special effect display method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may further include: receiving a recording instruction from the user, and recording a special effect video for the processes of generating and displaying the target special effect image. The recording instruction is an instruction to perform video recording on the target special effect image. The recording instruction includes the special effect display instruction in the above embodiment. The client generates a recording instruction in response to a triggering operation of the user on a recording button, and then performs the process of generating the target special effect image mentioned above, and records the processes of generating and displaying the target special effect image to obtain a special effect video. The recording time may be a fixed time, which may be set according to the actual situation. For example, the fixed time may be 15 seconds.

In the above solution, it supports users to perform video recording on the processes of generating and displaying the target special effect image, so that users can perform further video sharing, downloading, and other operations, further improving the user's interactive experience.

In some embodiments, the special effect display method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may further include: controlling the generation and display of the target special effect image based on a timestamp in the process of recording the special effect video. In an embodiment, in the process of recording the special effect video, the generation step of the target special effect image is performed, and the generation step ends when a preset timestamp is reached. Then, the target special effect image is displayed. The advantage of this setting is that a possible lag caused by the generation and display of the target special effect image in units of frame is avoided, so that the target special effect image may be displayed within the preset recording time, further improving the display effect of the special effects.

FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of a special effect display method according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. Based on the above embodiment, the present embodiment further optimizes the special effect display method described above. As shown in FIG. 5, the method includes Step 201 to Step 206.

In Step 201, images of a captured video are obtained.

In Step 202, position information of a recognition object is determined based on the images of the captured video.

The recognition object is a preset part of a human face.

In Step 203, a trajectory recording image is drawn based on the position information of the recognition object.

In an embodiment, a process of drawing a trajectory recording image based on the position information of the recognition object includes: creating a canvas, and drawing in the canvas circular areas at two positions corresponding to the recognition object based on the position information of the recognition object in the first and second frame images of the captured video; determining a target line connecting the two positions, and determining a trajectory area based on the target line, where a distance of each point in the trajectory area to the target line is less than or equal to a radius of the circular area; setting transparencies of the two circular areas and the trajectory area to transparent to obtain the trajectory recording image.

In an embodiment, a process of determining a trajectory area based on the target line includes: determining a target point between the two positions; filtering and drawing the target point based on a distance of the target point to the target line, to obtain the trajectory area, where an angle between a first line corresponding to the target point and the target line and an angle between a second line corresponding to the target point and the target line are both acute angles, and the first line and the second line are lines respectively connecting the target point and the two positions.

In Step 204, superposition processing is performed on the trajectory recording image and a preset special effect material image to obtain a unit special effect image.

Superposition processing is used to replace a background of the trajectory recording image with the special effect material image.

In Step 205, transformation processing is performed on the unit special effect image to generate a target special effect image.

The target special effect image is a special effect image of paper-cut. The transformation processing includes a first transformation operation or a second transformation operation. The first transformation operation includes a replication operation and a mirroring operation. The second transformation operation includes a rotation operation and a moving operation. A transformation parameter corresponding to the transformation processing is adjustable. The transformation parameter includes at least one of replication times corresponding to the replication operation, a rotation angle corresponding to the rotation operation, an image position, and an image size.

The special effect display method in an embodiment of the present disclosure may further include: displaying the unit special effect image in real-time on the images of the captured video in the process of drawing the trajectory recording image. In an embodiment, the displaying the unit special effect image in real-time in the process of drawing the trajectory recording image includes: setting transparency of other areas in the target special effect image except the unit special effect image to transparent in the process of drawing the trajectory recording image, to obtain a special effect image to be displayed; superposing the special effect image to be displayed on the images of the captured video for display.

A method of implementing the target special effect image may include the following steps. A black canvas is created, that is, a texture map is generated and the actual texture map coordinates of the special effect material image are restored. Drawing is performed on the black canvas based on the user's actions, that is, a current point in a current frame and a previous point in a previous frame are determined (in the initial state, the two points are the same). Circles with a brush radius (in the case of a circular brush) are created. The target points between two points are filtered out and drawn, to obtain two circular areas and a rectangular area as the area drawn from the previous frame to the current frame, where a distance of the target points to the line is less than or equal to a length of the brush radius. An angle between the connection line of the target point and the current point and the connection line of the current point and the previous point, and an angle between the connection line of the target point and the previous point and the connection line of the current point and the previous point, are both acute angles. Finally, values are assigned to the points in these areas to obtain a black and white image, in which the white area represents the drawn part. The image is transferred into a functional module of the general special effect algorithm. The special effect material image is transferred to the render cache and is obtained through a functional module of general special effect algorithm. The actual texture map coordinates are restored, and an interface at a customized position and with a customized size and rotation angle is retained, a varying array is established, and the established varying array is repeated and stored, specifically repeated 11 times to obtain 12 varying arrays. Superposition processing may be performed on the previous black and white image and the special effect material image subject to processes such as replication in the rendering cache and rotation. If some pixels of special effect material image are white at the position of the black and white image, the pixels become transparent on the material canvas.

In Step 206, the target special effect image is added to the images of the captured video for display.

The target special effect image is combined by multiple unit special effect images.

In an embodiment, adding the target special effect image to the images of the captured video for display includes: adding the target special effect image to the images of the captured video in a set animation mode for display after the trajectory recording image is drawn.

Transformation processing is performed on the unit special effect image to generate a target special effect image, and the target special effect image is added to the images of the captured video for display. The target special effect image is combined by multiple unit special effect images. By the above technical solution, a trajectory recording image is generated based on the position change of the recognition object in the images of the captured video. Then, the trajectory recording image and the special effect material image may be superimposed to obtain the unit special effect image, and a special effect image may be obtained by performing transformation processing on the unit special effect image. The special effect image may be displayed to the user, achieving the special effect display based on the user's actions.
