As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a shooting method, which may include

steps

101 and 102 described below.

Step 101: in a case where a photographing preview interface is displayed, a photographing apparatus receives a first input of a user.

The shooting preview interface comprises N preview sub-areas, and each preview sub-area comprises a preview image acquired by a camera.

In the embodiment of the application, the preview image acquired by the camera in each preview sub-area can be updated in real time, that is, a preview picture is displayed in the preview sub-area.

In this embodiment of the application, a preview image of each of N cameras may be displayed in the shooting preview interface, where N is an integer greater than 1. The camera can be any camera selected from a built-in camera and an external camera of the electronic equipment, so that N is not more than the total number of the built-in camera and the external camera of the electronic equipment.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the shooting preview interface is a shooting preview interface in a multi-camera preview mode. For example, after the camera application is started, the shooting device may select a multi-camera preview mode from multiple shooting preview modes (generally including a single-camera preview mode and a multi-camera preview mode) of the camera application, and then display a shooting preview interface corresponding to the multi-camera preview mode. Further, the multi-camera preview mode may be manually selected by the user on the mode selection interface, or may be a default photographing preview mode after the photographing apparatus starts the camera application.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the N cameras may be N preset cameras corresponding to the multi-camera preview mode, or may also be cameras manually selected by the user in the multi-camera preview mode, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application. Further, the N preset cameras may be N default cameras in the electronic device, or may be cameras corresponding to preview images displayed in a shooting preview interface displayed last time.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the user may autonomously select a camera corresponding to each shooting preview interface, so that the shooting device may simultaneously display preview images of multiple cameras selected for the shooting preview interface by the user in the shooting preview interface. It can be understood that the user may select a camera in the multi-camera preview mode, or may select a camera corresponding to the preview image in the case of displaying the shooting preview interface.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, multiple preview sub-areas in the N preview sub-areas may display preview images of the same camera, so as to enhance comparability of preview images displayed by different cameras, so as to compare preview images displayed by different cameras in a close-up manner.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, in each preview sub-area, in addition to displaying the preview image, camera information (for example, a camera name, a camera abbreviation, an image feature, and so on, which are simple words or patterns) of a camera corresponding to the preview image may be displayed to identify a feature of the preview image, so as to facilitate subsequent further processing on the preview image or the captured image.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the shooting device may display the preview image corresponding to each camera in the shooting preview interface according to a predetermined display order. Illustratively, the predetermined display order may be determined according to the frequency of use of the cameras, the degree of adaptation to the current scene, or the priority of use of the cameras.

Exemplarily, assuming that the user b wants to capture a night scene, since the cameras adapted to the current night scene include 4 cameras, namely a moonlight camera, a wide-angle camera, a normal camera and a telephoto camera, the capturing device may sequentially display preview images of the 4 cameras in the capture preview interface according to the adaptation degree of the 4 cameras to the current night scene. For example, the preview images may be displayed in the shooting preview interface in order from left to right and from top to bottom. For example, taking the example that two preview images are displayed in one line in the shooting preview interface, the preview image of the moonlight camera can be displayed on the left side of the first line in the shooting preview interface, the preview image of the wide-angle camera can be displayed on the right side of the first line, the preview image of the normal camera can be displayed on the left side of the second line, and the preview image of the telephoto camera can be displayed on the right side of the second line.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the preview images in the shooting preview interface are arranged in a preset area arrangement structure.

Illustratively, the preset area arrangement structure may be a 4-grid, a 9-grid, and the like. For example, as shown in fig. 2, taking 9 cameras included in the electronic device as an example, the preview images of the 9 cameras may be displayed according to a 9-grid structure.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first input is used to trigger the electronic device to perform a shooting operation. For example, the first input may be: the user inputs the shooting preview interface by touch or other feasibility inputs, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. Further, the first input may be: a click input, a slide input, a press input, etc., by the user on the shooting preview interface. Further, the click operation may be any number of times of click operations, may also be a long-press click (click time is greater than or equal to a preset time) operation, may also be a short-press click (click time is less than a preset time) operation, and the like. The sliding operation may be a sliding operation in any direction, such as an upward sliding operation, a downward sliding operation, a leftward sliding operation, or a rightward sliding operation. Similarly, the input mode of the camera selection input may be a touch mode such as long pressing, point touching, dragging or sliding, or other feasible input, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the shooting device may display the shooting preview interface in multiple display forms. Example 1: displaying the images on a full screen so as to compare preview images of all cameras more clearly; example 2: the multi-interface display screen is displayed in a split screen mode with other applications, so that multi-interface operation is facilitated, and the requirement of a user for starting different application programs at the same time is met; example 3: and displaying the current shooting preview interface on the same screen with other applications or menu bars so as to change the interface display parameters of the current shooting preview interface.

Illustratively, the shooting preview interface can be a full-screen display of the display screen of the electronic device, and can also be a preset scale display of the display screen of the electronic device. Besides the preview image, the shooting preview interface can also include function trigger controls such as shooting, editing, gesture recognition and the like.

Therefore, the display area of the shooting preview interface is divided according to the display targets such as the size of the display area, the maximum full shooting preview interface, the maximum area quantity of the fixed single page and the like, so that the arrangement of the display area has specific regularity, and the subsequent picture editing operations such as rearrangement, selection, extraction, deletion, copying, optimization and the like of the preview image are facilitated.

Step 102: the shooting device responds to the first input, controls the N cameras to shoot, obtains N images and generates a first target image.

Wherein N is an integer greater than 1, the first target image is synthesized based on N preview images displayed in the N preview sub-areas, and the first target image is used to display any one of the N preview images.

In an embodiment of the present application, the first target image is used to display an original image associated with any one of the image sub-regions when the user selects the selected image sub-region.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the N cameras may be cameras that are automatically determined by the electronic device according to a current shooting mode, or may be one or more cameras selected by a user.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the N images are images obtained by shooting the same target object by the N cameras. Illustratively, the N images are images of different screen effects of the same target object. For example, a wide-angle picture effect and a night-scene picture effect of the same target object.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first target image includes image contents in the above N images.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, after receiving a first input from a user, the shooting device controls the N cameras to shoot to obtain N images, and synthesizes N preview images displayed in sub-regions of the N images when the N images are obtained by shooting, so as to obtain a first target image.

Therefore, the shooting device can shoot through different cameras simultaneously to obtain images with multiple shooting effects of the same object shot by the different cameras, and generates one image including the preview image in the preview sub-interface corresponding to the different cameras, so that a user can quickly and flexibly check multiple images shot by the different cameras through the one image, the user does not need to search multiple images of the same object shot by the different cameras in a massive image in an album, and the image searching efficiency is improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, the shooting device may adjust a size or a position of a preview image in the shooting preview interface, so that the obtained preview image of the target camera better meets a user's need. For example, the photographing apparatus may perform an adjustment and editing operation on a display position of a preview image in the photographing preview interface according to an input of a user adjusting the preview image.

For example 1, the shooting device may display a certain preview image in the shooting preview interface in a full screen manner, so as to view details of the picture.

In example 2, the shooting device may move the preview images of different cameras in the shooting preview interface to adjacent positions, so as to avoid misreading the preview images when comparing and selecting the target camera.

And 3, the shooting device can copy the preview image in the shooting preview interface and move the copied preview image to the adjacent position of other preview images needing to be compared, so as to avoid mistakenly looking the preview image when the target camera is compared and selected.

In the shooting method provided by the embodiment of the application, under the condition that a shooting preview interface is displayed, the preview images of each camera in N cameras can be respectively displayed in N preview sub-areas of the shooting preview interface, so that a user can screen the preview images in the shooting preview interface; and after receiving a first input of a user, obtaining N images shot by the N cameras in response to the first input, synthesizing the N images based on the N preview images in the N preview sub-areas to obtain a first target image, and then quickly displaying the N images shot by the N cameras through the first target image. Therefore, the preview images are screened in the shooting preview interface, the images shot by different cameras are quickly displayed through the first target image, the time for selecting the shooting preview images and previewing the images shot by the different cameras by a client is shortened, the user can quickly select the required preview images and quickly check the images with different shooting effects, the operation efficiency of the user is improved, a larger operation space is provided for subsequent artistic creation, and the shooting interest is increased.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present application, before displaying the shooting preview interface, the shooting method provided in this embodiment of the present application further includes the following step A1:

step A1: and the shooting device divides the shooting preview interface into N preview sub-areas according to the target division parameters.

Illustratively, the target partition parameter includes at least one of: the number of cameras, the size of a single display area, the number of maximum areas of a single page (for example, the maximum area of a single page includes 9 preview sub-areas), and the interface size of the shooting preview interface.

For example, in a case where the object division parameter includes the number of cameras, the maximum area number of a single page, and the interface size of the above-described shooting preview interface, the shooting apparatus may calculate the number of display pages of the above-described display area. And finally, dividing the shooting preview interface according to the number of the preview subareas of the current display page and the interface size of the shooting preview interface to generate the preview subareas.

Illustratively, the photographing device may derive the number of display pages by calculating a quotient value and a remainder of the number of cameras and the maximum area number of a single page. For example, if the remainder is 0, the number of display pages of the captured preview image is determined as the quotient value, and if the remainder is not 0, the number of display pages is determined as the quotient value plus 1.

Illustratively, if the number of the display pages is equal to 1, determining that the number of the preview sub-areas divided by the display pages of the shooting preview interface is the number of the cameras. And if the number of the display pages is more than 1, determining that the number of the preview subareas divided by the last display page of the shooting preview interface is the remainder, and determining that the number of the preview subareas divided by other display pages of the shooting preview interface is the maximum area number of a single page. For example, taking the number of the display pages as 1 as an example, assuming that the number of the cameras is 9, the number of the preview sub-areas is 9; taking the number of the display pages as 2 as an example, assuming that the number of the cameras is 12 and the maximum number of the single page areas in the shooting preview interface is 9, the number of the preview sub-areas of the first display page is 9, and the number of the preview sub-areas of the second display page is 3.

For example, in the case that the target division parameters include the number of cameras, the interface size of the shooting preview interface, and the size of a single preview sub-area, the shooting device may further calculate the maximum area number of a single page in the shooting preview interface, then determine the number of display pages based on the maximum area number of the single page, and finally determine the number of preview sub-areas of the display pages of the shooting preview interface according to the number of display pages. For example, if the number of cameras is 5 and the maximum area number of a single page in the shooting preview interface is 9, the number of display pages is 1; if the number of the cameras is 5, and the maximum area number of a single page in the shooting preview interface is 4, the number of the display pages is 2.

Illustratively, the shooting device may obtain the maximum area number of the single page by calculating a quotient of an interface size of the shooting preview interface and a size of a single preview sub-area.

In addition, the number of preview sub-areas in the shooting preview interface is not fixed, and the size of the preview sub-area is also not fixed. In addition, in the area dividing process, the shooting preview interface can be divided into 5 preview sub-areas by adopting the modes of vertical equal division, horizontal equal division, fixed length-width ratio of the preview sub-area, fixed size of the preview sub-area and the like.

Therefore, the shooting device can flexibly perform area division on the shooting preview interface according to factors such as the actual number of cameras in the electronic equipment, the interface size of the shooting preview interface and the like, so that a user can conveniently check and operate the preview subarea in the shooting preview interface.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the first target image includes N image sub-areas, and each image sub-area corresponds to a display position of each preview sub-area in the shooting preview interface; after step 102, the shooting method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following step E1:

step E1: and establishing an association relation between the N image subregions in the first target image and the N images, and associating and storing the first target image and the N images.

And one image subregion is associated with the image shot by the camera corresponding to the preview subregion of the display position corresponding to one image subregion in the N images.

For example, after obtaining N images captured by N cameras and a first target image, the capturing device may store the first target image in association with the N images or image data of the N images.

Further, the format of the image data of the image may include at least one of: RAW, YUV or JPEG. The RAW (RAW Image Format) Format is an unprocessed or uncompressed Format, that is, image data in the RAW Format is source data of an Image.

For example, the shooting device may sequentially acquire and store preview images corresponding to images shot by each target camera according to area arrangement information of N preview sub-areas and N cameras in the shooting preview interface.

For example, the shooting device may establish a mapping relationship between one image subregion in the first target image and an image shot by the camera corresponding to the preview subregion of the display position corresponding to the image subregion in the N images, and store the mapping relationship.

In this way, when the user performs a triggering operation on any image subregion in the first target image, the original shot image corresponding to the image subregion can be triggered to be displayed, so that the corresponding original shot image can be quickly viewed through the image subregion in the first target image.

Further, the establishing of the mapping relationship may include any one of the following: and establishing an address mapping relation between the image sub-area and the image corresponding to the image sub-area.

For example, the camera device may further set a camera identifier of a camera of the corresponding image for each thumbnail. Furthermore, the shooting device can also add corresponding camera marks on each image subregion or the image corresponding to each image subregion.

Further optionally, in this embodiment, with reference to step E1, after the capturing device stores the first target image in association with the N images, the user may view the image content of the image corresponding to any image subregion in the first target image through touch input to the image subregion.

After the step 102, the shooting method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following steps F1 and F2:

step F1: a fifth input by the user to a subregion of the target image in the first target image is received.

Step F2: in response to a fifth input, an image associated with the target image subregion is displayed.

Illustratively, the target image sub-region is one or more image sub-regions in the image sub-region.

Illustratively, the image associated with the target image sub-region is an image corresponding to the target image sub-region in the N images, that is, an original image captured by a camera. Further, the image associated with the target image subregion includes at least two images.

For example, the camera may update the display content of the current interface to an image associated with the target image subregion, or display the image in a floating manner on the current interface, or generate a new interface to display the image.

Therefore, the user can quickly and flexibly check a plurality of images shot by different cameras through the image, so that the user does not need to search a plurality of original images of the same object shot by the different cameras in the massive images in the album, and the image searching efficiency is improved.

For example, as shown in (a) of fig. 3, the first target image includes 9 thumbnails, and after the user clicks the thumbnail 31 corresponding to the wide-angle camera, as shown in (b) of fig. 3, the photographing device acquires the image photographed by the wide-angle camera and presents the image content of the image.

It should be noted that the first target image includes image content of an image captured by each target camera, and each image subregion in the first target image has an association relationship with the camera and the image, so that the arrangement of the image subregions can be changed in the first target image by deleting, copying, moving, and the like, and the arrangement of the images corresponding to the target cameras is modified to select an image meeting the needs of the user.

In this way, the user can conveniently view any one of the images through the input of the first target image by correspondingly storing the image data of the first target image and the image shot by the target camera.

Further optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the process of acquiring the first target image in the step E1 may include the following step E2:

step E2: and the shooting device carries out image synthesis on the N preview images displayed by the N preview sub-areas according to the area arrangement information of the N preview sub-areas to obtain a first target image.

Wherein the region arrangement information includes at least one of: display position, display area, display content.

Illustratively, the area arrangement information may include: and the area position information, the area number information, the area size information and the like of the N preview sub-areas in the shooting preview interface. Further, the area arrangement information may be 4 grids, 9 grids, and the like, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

For example, with reference to fig. 2, 9 preview images, i.e., preview image 1 to preview image 9, are sequentially displayed in the 9 preview sub-areas in fig. 2. When the user clicks the "capture" control 23 on the interface (i.e., the first input), as shown in fig. 4, the capturing apparatus may acquire an image corresponding to each preview image, and synthesize the preview images in each preview sub-area according to the area arrangement information of each image sub-area in the capture preview interface, so as to obtain an image 41 (i.e., a first target image) including the image content of the preview image of each preview sub-area.

In this way, the photographing apparatus may synthesize the preview image according to arrangement information (e.g., region positions) of image sub-regions in the first target image to generate the first target image, so that a user can quickly become familiar with the first target image according to a given impression of the preview image, so as to edit the plurality of image contents in the first target image again.

Further optionally, in this embodiment, after the capturing device acquires the first target image, the capturing device may perform, by using the first target image, a first target operation on a part of or all of the N images, or perform a second target operation on the first target image. Wherein the first target operation comprises at least one of: and viewing, modifying, saving, copying or deleting the image data of the image and/or the image content in the image subarea of the first target image corresponding to the image. The second target operation may include at least one of: and viewing, modifying, saving, copying or deleting the image subarea in the first target image.

Illustratively, if the photographing device receives an input of deleting an image sub-area corresponding to the ultra-wide-angle lens in the first target image, the image sub-area corresponding to the ultra-wide-angle lens in the first target image, or image content in the image sub-area, is deleted while image data of an image corresponding to the ultra-wide-angle lens (i.e., an image photographed by the ultra-wide-angle lens) is deleted, whereas if an operation instruction of deleting the image data of the image corresponding to the ultra-wide-angle lens is received, the image data of the image corresponding to the ultra-wide-angle lens is deleted while image sub-area corresponding to the ultra-wide-angle lens in the first target image, or image content in the image sub-area, is deleted.

Further optionally, in this embodiment, after step 102, the shooting method provided in this embodiment further includes the following steps G1 to G5:

step G1: the camera receives a second input from the user.

Step G2: the photographing device displays the first target image in response to the second input.

Step G3: the camera receives a third input from the user to T image sub-regions of the N image sub-regions in the first target image.

Step G4: and the shooting device responds to the third input and carries out image synthesis on the T preview images displayed in the T image sub-areas to obtain a second target image.

Step G5: and establishing an incidence relation between the T image subregions in the second target image and the T images, and storing the second target image and the T images in an associated manner.

One image subregion is associated with an image shot by a camera corresponding to a preview subregion of a display position corresponding to the one image subregion in the T images; wherein T is a positive integer and is less than N.

It is understood that the photographing apparatus may display the first target image after acquiring the first target image, and then perform secondary image processing (i.e., the above-mentioned image synthesis) on the first target image according to the input of the user on the first target image to acquire an image that meets the needs of the user. For example, deleting the first target image, copying the first target image, adjusting image parameters of the first target image, performing image fusion on the first target image, and so on.

In one example, in the case of image synthesis of T preview images in T image sub-regions in the first target image, the shooting device may perform image fusion on the T preview images in the T image sub-regions according to the region arrangement of the T image sub-regions. That is, the arrangement of the preview images corresponding to the respective image sub-regions in the post-fusion image (i.e., the second target image) is the same as the arrangement of the pre-fusion image (i.e., the first target image).

In another example, the shooting device may fuse the images corresponding to the thumbnails according to a predetermined template to obtain an image of a predetermined arrangement pattern. Further, the predetermined template may be a 2-grid image template, a 4-grid image template, or the like.

For example, with reference to fig. 4, after the user sequentially clicks the image sub-area 42, the image sub-area 43, the image sub-area 44, and the image sub-area 45 in the squared image 41 (i.e., the first target image), a slide input may be performed on the current interface to trigger rearrangement of the thumbnails, as shown in fig. 5, the shooting device calls up a 4-grid image template and performs image fusion on the 4 image sub-areas according to the image template to obtain a four-grid image 51 (i.e., the second target image) in which the image sub-areas are rearranged.

For example, after obtaining the second target image, the camera may establish an association relationship between T image sub-areas in the second target image and T images, and store the second target image in association with the T images. Therefore, a user can conveniently and quickly view any original image corresponding to the image subregion of the second target image through the second target image.

In this way, in an actual shooting process, after a first target image including a plurality of preview images is acquired, when the first preview image does not meet the user requirement, the shooting device may recombine and image-synthesize image sub-regions in the first target image, thereby generating a new image meeting the user requirement. Because the first target image is used as a medium for viewing original images of a plurality of images associated with a plurality of image sub-regions of the first target image, based on the first target image, a user can self-define and select at least two of the plurality of images to recombine, so as to obtain a second target image of preview images corresponding to at least two images required by the user, the second target image of the preview images corresponding to the plurality of images required by the user can be obtained only by selecting on the basis of the generated first target image comprising the plurality of preview images without shooting again once, the operation is convenient, and the flexibility of image generation is higher.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the shooting device may display, in the shooting preview interface, the preview image in the one or more display areas selected by the user according to the user requirement.

Exemplarily, after the shooting preview interface is displayed, the shooting method provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes the following steps H1 and H2:

step H1: and receiving fourth input of the user to M preview subareas in the N preview subareas.

Step H2: in response to a fourth input, the preview images in the N preview sub-areas are updated to the preview images in the M preview sub-areas.

Wherein M is a positive integer and M is less than N.

Illustratively, the X first display regions may be selected by the user from the M display regions by, but not limited to, single click, double click, long press, gesture, and voice.

Illustratively, the photographing apparatus may update the photographing preview interface upon receiving a fourth input by the user. Further, the photographing apparatus may update Y display areas in the photographing preview interface to X display areas, and update the preview image displayed in the photographing preview interface to a preview image within the X first display areas.

For example, referring to fig. 2, after the user clicks the display area 21 and the display area 22 in the shooting preview interface, as shown in fig. 6, the shooting apparatus updates the preview images in the 9 display areas in fig. 2 to the preview images in the 2 display areas in fig. 6. That is, the imaging device displays the preview image in the display area 21 in the display area 61, and displays the preview image in the display area 22 in the display area 62.

Therefore, under the condition that a plurality of preview images are displayed in the shooting preview interface, the shooting device can update the plurality of preview images in the shooting preview interface into the preview images which need to be checked by the user according to the actual requirements of the user, and the flexibility of user operation is improved.

Illustratively, the second display region is at least one of the X first display regions.

Further, the second display area is selected from the X first display areas by the user, and the selection mode includes but is not limited to single click, double click, long press, gesture and voice.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the shooting device may receive an input of a user in any preview sub-area in the shooting preview interface, and adjust a parameter of a preview image displayed in the preview sub-area.

For example, the shooting device may save the preview image corresponding to the original picture parameters before adjusting the image parameters, so as to compare the preview image with the preview image after adjusting the parameters.

Illustratively, if the preview image corresponding to the original image parameters is found to better meet the user requirements, the preview image can be captured with the original image parameters by setting a one-key restoring control of the image parameters.

Therefore, in the shooting process, the shooting device can adjust the image parameters of the preview images in any preview sub-area according to the requirements of users, so that the requirement of the users on the accuracy of the preview images is met.
