Description

The discrete method that turns to straightway of a kind of vector outline with caption object

Technical field

The invention belongs to the subtitle editing and playing technical field of radio, TV and film industries TV programme record and broadcast mechanism, be specifically related to the discrete method that turns to straightway of a kind of vector outline caption object.

Background technology

In the subtitle editing and playing field, caption object can be divided into literal and two parts of figure.Literal comprises the literal of various languages in the world, compound pattern that figure comprises the figure of various regular shapes, be made up of primary graphic element and irregular figure arbitrarily.From the angle of computer graphics, all types of caption object can be considered as the figure of forming by a series of straight lines and curve.Figure is made up of non-geometric attributes such as geometric elements such as point, line, surface, body and gray scale, color, line style, live widths usually.From treatment technology, figure mainly is divided into two classes: a class is based on that line information represents, as line frame graph of engineering drawing, contour map, curved surface etc.; Another kind of is continuous-tone image, just usually said photo realism graphic.

Caption rendering is that computer graphics, computer digital image are handled the technology that combines with the program making business of TV station.Angle from the computer digital image processing, playing up of caption object comprised two aspects: first, based on a series of static treatment of pixel or sub-pixel, as image intensification, binary conversion treatment, rim detection, Fuzzy Processing, embossment, the edge is anti-aliasing, the brightness pinup picture, texturing, anti-shake, ovalizing deflection, the polygon distortion, crisperding, blast, sharpening, softening, projection, colored pencil, the oil painting be full of cracks, crosshatch, sample cutting, glass, the edge blast, ink outline is drawn, ceramic tile, letter paper, patchwork, plastics package, the ripples line, sponge, the spraying pen, coloured glass, special efficacys such as Gaussian Blur; Second, based on a series of dynamic process of key frame, comprise that ripples, flag waft, spiral, distortion, tripleplane, flame, ball change, three-dimensional deformation, bending, phantom, scrolling, folding, fireworks display, shutter, cracked, ripples, fluctuation, draw picture, change ball, spiral, flag waft, fluctuate diplopia, butterfly change, time, convex lens, kaleidoscope, laser, fly light, magic spiral, motion blur, radial blur, wave, wave inverted image, special efficacy such as circle round.

The rendering effect of captions is to weigh the important indicator of a caption system, particularly at the aspects such as processing of the processing on the treatment of details of anti-aliasing processing, small character, three-dimensional limit, empty limit, diplopia, true three-dimension visual impression, three-dimensional word chamfering, texture, illumination.

In existing caption system, caption rendering exists following problem:

The first, the difference of playing up of text subtitle and graphic subtitle is come, and different graphic elements also uses geometric vector of different nature to describe.This problem realize and use aspect two brought to caption system a lot of unfavorable.From the angle that realizes, can cause existing in the caption system a plurality of diverse render engines and play up flow process, and if support a kind of new caption object, then need to define and realize new render engine, thereby cause the function expansibility of caption system to have significant limitation.From application point of view, bring the fatal problem in two aspects: on the one hand, the effect that dissimilar caption object finally represents is inconsistent, for example two dissimilar caption object are the full limit that has added 2 pixels equally, but owing to passed through different render engines, final result may be different, has brought inconvenience to the user when carrying out the captions creation; On the other hand, in caption system, have to carry out specific restriction at the operation of caption object, for example, the caption object that has is supported how much rotations, how much convergent-divergents, what have does not then support, the caption object that has is supported at any angle edged, is added shadow, the edged of then only supporting fixed angle that has, adds shadow, the not even support that has.All these problems all can influence the general applicability and the functional completeness of caption system.

The second, the core algorithm of caption rendering engine all is based on floating-point operation, for example trigonometric function operation, antitrigonometric function computing, division arithmetic, power operation, extracting operation etc.This can cause the problem of two aspects: on the one hand, because what final process result required is the pixel value of integer type, therefore can carry out rounding operation in the different phase of render engine algorithm, this will cause the cumulative errors in the calculating, cause final captions effect on local detail, to have defective, for example smudgy clear, the stroke adhesion of the literal that stroke is many etc.; On the other hand, these floating-point operations all are the mathematical operations that takies a large amount of machine instructions, greatly reduce the operating efficiency of whole caption system, have influence on the ageing of captions making and broadcast, particularly in the making of high definition TV captions, because its data volume is 5 times of SD, it is more obvious that this point shows.

The 3rd, not satisfactory as the effect that the edge of one of caption rendering important indicator is anti-aliasing, even can't reach practical degree.This is because existing caption system is when carrying out anti-aliasing processing, rely on the image processing method in current pixel space fully, there is not the participation of captions geometric vector information, also just can't realize processing based on sub-pixel, make the final rendering effect of existing caption system apparent in view edge sawtooth effect occur, influence the effect that captions represent.

Because above-mentioned same, when the image processing of caption object being carried out based on the filter pipeline, also can influence the final effect of captions.Existing caption system play up the pinup picture that flow process is normally carried out face limit shadow earlier, obtain an image, then this image is put into the filter pipeline, carry out a series of image processing again.But owing to there is not the participation of captions geometric vector information, the processing of filter pipeline can destroy the former effect after anti-aliasing.That is to say, on originally with regard to unfavorable edge treated, accumulated new edge sawtooth effect.

Because above-mentioned same, for more complicated a little the caption object of graphic element, oscillation effect appears in the place in the figure flex point, causes graph outline unsmooth.Chang Yong round rectangle object for example, by circular arc and four rectilinear(-al)s at four angles, scraggly phenomenon will appear in the place in that circular arc and straight line join.

The 4th, caption object is being carried out the gradual change look when playing up, should be that the gradual change color that the vector outline according to this object carries out is radially handled, but in existing caption system, it is that the gradual change look is put in the memory block that playing up of gradual change look handled, when playing up, still taked the method for respective pixel pinup picture.This just makes existing caption system can't realize the rendering effect of gradual change look truly.

The 5th, existing caption system can't realize increasing a plurality of outsides, a plurality of inner edge, three-dimensional limit, a plurality of side, a plurality of shadow.The captions of the stack of simple face, limit, shadow represent can't satisfy the requirement of television program designing to caption system.

The 6th, playing up of existing caption system is not based on the Bezier curved profile, but because the type matrix in the TrueType character library all is to use the Bezier curve to describe, so just the Bezier curve that need will extract from character library converts the vector of another form to, because the information asymmetry between the different vector expressions loss of information can occur in transfer process, thereby make the warpage of stroke, cause stroke weight inhomogeneous, influence attractive in appearance that font represents.

The 7th, existing caption system can't be converted to the text subtile object graphic subtitle object, thereby can't realize functions such as character distortion, character inverted image, character counter-rotating, curve are put, characters in a fancy style, can't satisfy senior captions application demand.

The 8th, existing caption system can't be realized the edged mode of number of different types, and as wedge angle limit, round edge, corner limit etc., this has influenced the popularity that captions are used to a certain extent.

The 9th, existing caption system can't be realized the support to the arbitrary shape irregular figure, thereby the captions that can't tackle types such as the geography information description that becomes more and more important, weather forecast, Comprehensive Data are made.

Bezier (Bezier) curve is a kind of important polynomial parameters curve in the computer graphics.The individual point of any N in the plane (N＞=2) can constitute a Bezier curve, and this N point is called the control point of Bezier curve, and the polygon of N some composition is called the control polygon of Bezier curve.The parametric equation of N Bezier curve is as follows:

$B\left(t\right)=\underset{i=0}{\overset{n}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\ i\end{array}\right)P_i{(1-t)}^{n-i}{t}^i=P_0{(1-t)}^n+\left(\begin{array}{c}n\\ 1\end{array}\right)P_1{(1-t)}^{n-1}t+...+P_n{t}^n,$ t∈[0，1]

Wherein, P ₀, P ₁..., P _nIt is the control point of Bezier curve.

Thus, the parameter expression of a Bezier curve is:

B(t)＝P ₀+(P ₁-P ₀)t＝(1-t)P ₀+tP ₁，t∈[0，1]

One time the Bezier curve is exactly linear Bezier curve, is actually two control point P ₀And P ₁Between straightway.

The parameter expression of quadratic bezier curve is:

B(t)＝(1-t) ²P ₀+2t(1-t)P ₁+t ²P ₂，t∈[0，1]

The parameter expression of three bezier curve is:

B(t)＝P ₀(1-t) ³+3P ₁t(1-t) ²+3P ₂t ²(1-t)+P ₃t ³，t∈[0，1]

P ₀, P ₁, P ₂, P ₃Four points have defined three bezier curve on the plane or in three dimensions.Curve originates in P ₀Move towards P ₁, and from P ₂Direction come P ₃Generally can not pass through P ₁Or P ₂, these two points only provide directional information.P ₀And P ₁Between spacing, determined curve then the into P that becomes ₃Before, move towards P ₂The length of direction.

The Bezier curve has following characteristic.

(1) limitlessly detachable: a Bezier curve can cut into two or any many strips curve in the arbitrfary point, and each strip curve is still the Bezier curve.

(2) symmetry: keep the coordinate position of the whole control point Pi of Bezier curve constant, just the ordering of control point Pi is put upside down, curve shape remains unchanged.This character explanation Bezier curve has any geometric properties at the starting point place, at destination county identical geometric properties is arranged also.

(3) convex closure: the Bezier curve is positioned within the convex closure at its control point.

(4) geometric invariance: the Bezier curve location is relevant with the position of its feature polygon vertex with shape, and it does not rely on the selection of coordinate system.

(5) variation reduction property: no more than this straight line of the intersection point number of arbitrary line and curve and the polygonal intersection point number of its feature in the plane.

(6) end points tangent vector: the starting point of Bezier curve, terminal point overlap with the corresponding polygonal starting point of feature, terminal point.The tangential direction of its starting point and destination county is consistent with the trend on feature polygonal article one limit and the last item limit.

In view of the characteristic of above-mentioned Bezier curve, if dissimilar caption object all is converted to quadratic bezier curve, then help improving the rendering effect of captions, satisfy the senior application of captions and solve the problem that existing caption rendering method exists.After dissimilar caption object is converted to the vector outline of being made up of quadratic bezier curve, also need following several situations are handled:

The first, when there is the self intersection situation in a sealing quadratic bezier curve inside, needs deletion or cut apart the closed circuit that sealing quadratic bezier curve inside comprises;

Second, when having the situation of intersecting between a plurality of sealing quadratic bezier curves that comprise in the vector outline of a caption object, need a quadratic B ezier line segment be divided into multistage quadratic B ezier line segment at the intersection point place, identify the inside and outside side attribute of every quadratic B ezier line segment, with attribute is the quadratic B ezier line segment deletion of inner edge, and remaining quadratic B ezier line segment is made up new closed outline according to intersection point.

After the vector outline of caption object carried out above-mentioned processing, there was not the closed outline of self intersection in the vector outline of caption object, is not existed the closed outline that intersects with other closed outlines to constitute yet by several.At this moment, if directly will carry out inner edge, add the outside, add side and add shadow etc. and play up, will there be following problems through the caption object after the above-mentioned processing.

Play up the vector outline that all is based on caption object because caption object adds inner edge, add the outside, add side, add shadow etc.When adding a plurality of outside, need along vector outline to around an equidistant expansion X1 pixel (X1 is the thickness on article one limit), then again along the vector outline that after aforesaid operations, forms, again to around an equidistant expansion X2 pixel (X2 is the thickness on second limit); When adding side, need along a vector outline (this vector outline be add the outside after vector outline) X pixel of Y angle spread (Y is the direction of side, and X is the thickness of side).If handle according to quadratic bezier curve, the vector outline after a quadratic bezier curve outwards or is inwardly expanded so has been not a quadratic bezier curve just, but the Bezier curve of a high price.That is to say, spatially can't represent with the quadratic bezier curve equation accurately with the equidistant curve of quadratic bezier curve.If use the Bezier curve of high-order to carry out follow-up playing up, for example add a plurality of inner edges, a plurality of outside, a plurality of sides etc., at first the Bezier curve of high-order is carried out the depression of order processing with regard to needs, the amount of calculation of this depression of order processing procedure is very huge, needed memory space is also very huge, is infeasible in actual applications.

Article eight, three Bezier line segments forming by control point (P321, P322, P323, P324) of line segment (because the coordinate of P321, P322 is identical, the coordinate of P323, P324 is identical, so this line segment is actually the straight line section).

For the fundamental figure caption object of other types, can be according to same thought, be converted into by once, the closed outline formed of secondary or cubic Bezier line segment.

When the type of caption object was compound captions, the method that converts thereof into vector outline information may further comprise the steps:

1. according to the data structure of compound caption object, it is split as the individual basic caption object of M (M is a positive integer).Basic caption object just is meant text subtile object or fundamental figure caption object.

2. use the processing method of above-mentioned " text subtile object " and " fundamental figure caption object " to obtain this M the vector outline information of caption object substantially respectively.

3. according to the space coordinate of the basic caption object of M, M the vector outline information combination that step is obtained in 2. forms the final vector outline information of this compound caption object together.

Caption object through after the above-mentioned conversion, is also needed rotation, deformation parameter according to caption object, the vector outline information after the conversion is carried out the space geometry conversion.

The anglec of rotation of supposing caption object is A, and the control point number of basic caption object is n (n is a positive integer), is respectively P[0] to P[n-1], then the process that a basic caption object is carried out the space geometry conversion may further comprise the steps.

The principle that Bezier line segment is converted to quadratic B ezier line segment is: with former and later two control points R0 of a Bezier line segment and R1 first and the 3rd control point as quadratic B ezier line segment, the mid point of R0 and R1 is as second control point of quadratic B ezier line segment.

Fig. 4 is that a Bezier line segment is converted to secondary Bezier line segment schematic diagram, and 4a is a preceding Bezier line segment of conversion, and 4b is the quadratic B ezier line segment after changing.Wherein, P40=R40, P42=R41, P41=(mid point of R40 and R41), i.e. P41.x=(R40.x+R41.x)/2; P41.y=(R40.y+R41.y)/2.

The principle that the cubic Bezier line segment is converted to quadratic B ezier line segment is: convert a cubic Bezier line segment to two quadratic B ezier line segments.

5a among Fig. 5 and 5b are respectively two kinds of situation schematic diagrames that the cubic Bezier line segment are converted to two quadratic B ezier line segments.The control point of supposing a cubic Bezier line segment is respectively R50, R51, R52, R53.Q1 is the mid point of R50 and R51, Q2 is the mid point of R52 and R53, Q3 is the mid point of R51 and R52, Q4 is the mid point of Q1 and Q3, Q5 is the mid point of Q2 and Q3, Q6 is the mid point of Q4 and Q5, and Q7 is the straight line of Q4 and Q5 formation and the intersection point of R0 and R1 formation straight line, and Q8 is the straight line of Q4 and Q5 formation and the intersection point of R52 and R53 formation straight line.

As follows according to the coordinate that coordinate and the Bezier parametric equation of 4 of R50, R51, R52, R53 calculates Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, Q7, Q8:

Q1.x＝(R50.x+R51.x)/2，Q1.y＝(R50.y+R51.y)/2；

Q2.x＝(R52.x+R53.x)/2，Q2.y＝(R52.y+R53.y)/2；

Q3.x＝(R51.x+R52.x)/2，Q3.y＝(R51.y+R52.y)/2；

Q4.x＝(Q1.x+Q3.x)/2，Q4.y＝(Q1.y+Q3.y)/2；

Q8.x＝(3*Q2.x+3*Q5.x-R3.x-Q6.x)/4，

Q8.y＝(3*Q2.y+3*Q5.y-R3.y-Q6.y)/4。

Original cubic Bezier line segment is punished into two quadratic B ezier line segments at the Q6 point, and three control points of a Bezier line segment are respectively R50, Q7, and Q6, three control points of another Bezier line segment are respectively Q6, Q8, R53.

In the vector outline information of the closed outline of forming by quadratic bezier curve, may there be the quadratic B ezier line segment of self intersection, promptly closed outline includes one or more closed circuits, as Fig. 6, Fig. 7 and shown in Figure 10.In order to strengthen the rendering effect of captions, improve rendering efficiency, need handle this situation, delete or cut apart closed circuit.

The method of handling the secondary Bezier of self intersection is: at first judge the situation that whether has secondary Bezier line segment self intersection among the closed outline G, if exist, then continue to judge it is adjacent secondary Bezier line segment self intersection or non-adjacent secondary Bezier line segment self intersection, if adjacent secondary Bezier line segment self intersection, then with the closed circuit deletion that comprises adjacent secondary Bezier line segment self intersection that includes among the closed outline G; If non-adjacent secondary Bezier line segment self intersection then is divided into a plurality of closed outlines with closed outline G and its closed circuit that comprises non-adjacent secondary Bezier line segment self intersection that includes.

Judge whether exist the method for secondary Bezier line segment self intersection to be among the closed outline G: supposing to have among the G M secondary Bezier line segment, is respectively B[0], B[1], B[2] to B[M-1]; Take out each secondary Bezier line segment B[j among the G successively], judge B[j] whether crossing with other secondary Bezier line segment among the G, if intersect, then there is the self intersection situation in G; Otherwise, do not have the self intersection situation.

Judge that the method whether two secondary Bezier line segments intersect is: the boundary rectangle that at first calculates two secondary Bezier line segments; Whether the boundary rectangle of judging two secondary Bezier line segments then exists common factor, if exist, and these two secondary Bezier line segment intersections then, if there is no, then these two secondary Bezier line segments are non-intersect.

With reference to Fig. 8, the method for calculating the boundary rectangle of a secondary Bezier line segment is: three control points supposing secondary Bezier line segment are respectively P0, P1 and P2, and the abscissa that P0 is ordered is P0.x, and ordinate is P0.y; The abscissa that P1 is ordered is P1.x, and ordinate is P1.y; The abscissa that P2 is ordered is P2.x, and ordinate is P2.y; The leg-of-mutton boundary rectangle T that calculating is made of P0, P1 and P2, T is the boundary rectangle of this secondary Bezier line segment, and formula is as follows:

T.left＝min(P0.x，P1.x，P2.x)，

T.right＝max(P0.x，P1.x，P2.x)，

T.top＝min(P0.y，P1.y，P2.y)，

T.bottom＝max(P0.y，P1.y，P2.y)；

Wherein, T.left represents the abscissa of boundary rectangle left frame, and T.right represents the abscissa of boundary rectangle left frame, and T.top represents the ordinate of boundary rectangle upper side frame, and T.bottom represents the ordinate of boundary rectangle lower frame; The min function representation is got the minimum value in all parameters, and the max function representation is got the maximum in all parameters.

If there is the situation of secondary Bezier line segment self intersection among the closed outline G, then judge it is that the adjacent secondary Bezier line segment self intersection or the method for non-adjacent secondary Bezier line segment self intersection are: if B[j] and adjacent segments B[j+1] intersect, then be adjacent secondary Bezier line segment self intersection, otherwise be non-adjacent secondary Bezier line segment self intersection.

With reference to Fig. 6, if adjacent secondary Bezier line segment self intersection, then the method with the closed circuit deletion of the adjacent secondary Bezier line segment that comprises self intersection that includes among the closed outline G is:

Supposing to have among the G M secondary Bezier line segment, is respectively B[0], B[1], B[2] to B[M-1], the adjacent secondary Bezier line segment of two self intersections is respectively B[j] and B[j+1]; At first calculate B[j] and B[j+1] point of intersection S; Then with B[j] initial control point link to each other with S constitute a new secondary Bezier line segment B[j '], with S and B[j+1] finishing control point link to each other constitute a new secondary Bezier line segment B[j+1 '], B[j '], B[j+1 '] with closed outline G in original secondary Bezier line segment B[0] to B[j-1], B[j+2] to B[M-1] constituted a new closed outline G ', make G=G '; Delete S and B[j at last] the closed outline that constitutes of finishing control point.(6a) is the preceding closed outline G of processing among Fig. 6, (6b) is the closed outline G after handling, (6c) closed outline for deleting.

With reference to Fig. 7, if non-adjacent secondary Bezier line segment self intersection, the method that then closed circuit of closed outline G and its non-adjacent secondary Bezier line segment that comprises self intersection that includes is divided into a plurality of closed outlines is:

The non-adjacent secondary Bezier line segment of supposing two self intersections is respectively B[j] and B[k], j＜k; At first calculate B[j] and B[k] point of intersection S; Then with B[j] initial control point link to each other with S constitute a new secondary Bezier line segment B[j '], and with S and B[k] finishing control point link to each other constitute a new secondary Bezier line segment B[k '], B[j '], B[k '] with closed outline G in original line segment B[0] to B[j-1], B[k+1] to B[M-1] constituted a new closed outline G ', make G=G '; At last with S and B[j] finishing control point and B[k] initial control point link to each other, two new secondary Bezier line segments have been formed, with these two new secondary Bezier line segment and B[j+1] to B[k-1] in all secondary Bezier line segments constituted a new closed outline G ", G " is joined caption object vector outline information table.

Calculate the method for two quadratic bezier curve intersection points in the caption object vector outline information, in theory, can be according to the combined parameters Equation for Calculating of two quadratic bezier curves.But this method is worthless, because not only amount of calculation is huge, and all is based on the computing of floating number, and the efficient of algorithm can be lower.Therefore, present embodiment adopts " two fens iterative methods ".The core concept of this method is: if two quadratic B ezier line segment intersections, these two quadratic B ezier line segments of naming a person for a particular job in the basis so are divided into two quadratic B ezier line segments respectively, obtain 4 quadratic B ezier line segments; And then after the same method, handle this 4 line segments, (generally, this value is less than some values up to the initial control point of final every line segment and the air line distance of finishing control point

), finally can be summed up as the intersection point that calculates two straightways.This method specifically may further comprise the steps:

(I) suppose that two crossing secondary Bezier line segments are respectively B[j] and B[k], with B[j] and B[k] carry out following processing respectively:

1. calculate the initial control point of secondary Bezier line segment and the air line distance L between the finishing control point,

Wherein, x0, y0 are initial control point horizontal stroke, ordinate, and x1 and y1 are that finishing control point is horizontal, ordinate;

2. whether judge L greater than M, if greater than, then calculate the mid point of secondary Bezier line segment, secondary Bezier line segment is divided into two secondary Bezier line segments in midpoint, described

3. repeating step 1. to step 2., the initial control point of every secondary Bezier line segment after dividing and the air line distance L between the finishing control point are less than or equal to M;

(II) with B[j] and B[k] through after step (I) processing, suppose that final two secondary Bezier line segments that intersect are respectively B[j '] and B[k '], calculate B[j '] initial control point and the straight line and the B[k ' of finishing control point formation] initial control point and the intersection point of the straight line of finishing control point formation.

In the present embodiment, the method for calculating the mid point of secondary Bezier line segment is: three control points supposing secondary Bezier line segment are respectively P0, P1 and P2, and function expression is

B(t)＝(1-t) ²P ₀+2t(1-t) ²P ₁+t ²P ₂ t∈[0，1]；

Make t=0.5, calculate on the secondary Bezier equation a bit, this point is the mid point of secondary Bezier line segment, and its Coordinate Calculation formula is B=(P0+2*P1+P2)/4.

As shown in Figure 9, R1 is that (P0, mid point P1), R2 are that (P1, mid point P2), R3 are that (P2, mid point P0), Q are that (R1 is R2) with straight line (R3, intersection point P1) for straight line to straight line to straight line to straight line.The Q point is quadratic bezier curve (P0, P1, mid point P2).

R1 point abscissa R1.x=(P0.x+P1.x)/2, R1 point ordinate R1.y=(P0.y+P1.y)/2; R2 point abscissa R2.x=(P1.x+P2.x)/2, R2 point ordinate R2.y=(P1.y+P2.y)/2.Wherein, P0.x, P0.y are that the P0 point is horizontal, ordinate; P1.x, P1.y are that the P1 point is horizontal, ordinate; P2.x, P2.y are that the P2 point is horizontal, ordinate.

The ordinate Q.y=(R1.y+R2.y) that the abscissa Q.x=(R1.x+R2.x) that Q is ordered/2=(P0.x+2*P1.x+P2.x)/4, Q are ordered/2=(P0.y+2*P1.y+P2.y)/4.

After the situation of non-adjacent secondary Bezier line segment self intersection among the closed outline G was handled, still might there be the situation of self intersection in the closed outline after cutting apart.As shown in figure 10, closed outline (10a) after treatment, be divided into (10b), (10c) and (10d) shown in closed outline, wherein still there is the situation of self intersection in the closed outline shown in (10c), therefore need to repeat above-mentioned steps the closed outline shown in (10c) is handled again, do not have the situation of self intersection to take place in all closed outlines after cutting apart.Closed outline (10c) is through after handling again, is divided into (10c1) and (10c2) two closed outlines.

In the vector outline information of caption object, may there be crossing situation between the different closed outlines, in order to help the follow-up rendering of caption object, strengthen the final rendering effect of caption object, need handle this situation, a quadratic B ezier line segment is divided into many quadratic B ezier line segments at the intersection point place.

Three control points of B1 ' are respectively S[0], R[0], P[2], S[0] and P[2] coordinate known, R[0] coordinate be:

R[0].x＝(1-t)*P[1].x+t*P[2].x，

R[0].y＝(1-t)*P[1].y+t*P[2].y；

Wherein, Q[0] .x represents Q[0] abscissa of point, Q[0] .y represents Q[0] and the ordinate of point, R[0] .x represents R[0] and the some abscissa, R[0] .y represents R[0] the some ordinate; T=(S[0] .t-P[0] .t)/(P[2] .t-P[0] .t), P[0] .t is P[0] t value in the corresponding Bezier parametric equation of point, P[2] .t is P[2] t value in the Bessel equation of some correspondence;

Then at S[1] the some place is divided into two line segment B2 and B2 ' with line segment B1 ', and method is 1. identical with step;

By that analogy, at last at S[n-1] the some place is divided into two line segment Bn and Bn ' with line segment Bn-1 '; Finally obtain the line segment after the N+1 bar is cut apart.

2. travel through G[i] in all quadratic B ezier line segments, take out one with get different secondary Bezier line segment B[j];

3. travel through in this caption object vector outline except that B[j] all secondary Bezier line segments, take out one with get different secondary Bezier line segment B[k];

4. judge B[j] and B[k] boundary rectangle whether have common factor, if there is no, then go to step 3.; If exist, then calculate B[j] and B[k] between intersection point.

Calculate B[j] with B[k] between the intersection point and the principle of the intersection point of the secondary Bezier line segment of aforementioned calculation self intersection identical, repeat no more herein.

Figure 13 has shown the method flow of the caption object vector outline being advised and being put in order according to the inside and outside side attribute of secondary Bezier line segment, mainly may further comprise the steps.

(1) determines the inside and outside side attribute of every secondary Bezier line segment in all closed outlines of caption object.

Determine the inner edge/outer side attribute of a secondary Bezier line segment, only need to determine that any one point on this secondary Bezier line segment is an interior point or exterior point gets final product in the vector outline information of whole caption object, generally can use the mid point of this line segment.If the mid point of this line segment is interior point, then this line segment is an inner edge; If exterior point, then this line segment is the outside.

Behind the inside and outside side attribute of every the secondary Bezier line segment that in having determined vector outline information, has comprised in all closed outline, deleting all methods that are labeled as the secondary Bezier line segment of inner edge is: in every secondary Bezier line segment, all there is a border attribute variable to represent inner edge/outer side attribute, all secondary Bezier line segments in the traversal vector outline information are that the secondary Bezier line segment of inner edge is deleted from closed outline and got final product with the border attribute.

(3) according to the closed outline of intersection point reconstruct caption object.

Delete property need be advised also again to all closed outlines after being the secondary Bezier line segment of inner edge, promptly according to intersection point secondary Bezier line segment is coupled together, and rebuilds each closed outline.The closed outline that rebuilds must be disjoint each other closed outline.

The concrete grammar of rule and a caption object may further comprise the steps:

A. from all closed outlines, take out one with get different closed outline G1;

Whether the difference of starting point coordinate of b. judging the end point coordinate of the last item secondary Bezier line segment of G1 and article one secondary Bezier line segment is smaller or equal to threshold values T, usually T gets 0.00001, in this way, then G1 does not need to handle, repeating step a is to step b, finishes up to all closed outlines are processed;

}

Else if (the curve head of G1 and the curve cabrage of G2 are closed)

{

// G1 and G2 are joined end to end

G2.Tail.Next＝G1.Head；

G2.Head.Prev＝G1.Tail；

G1.Tail.Next＝G2.Head；

G1.Head.Prev＝G2.Tail；

G1.Head＝G2.Head；

G′＝G2；

G2＝G2.Prev；

From the closed outline chained list, delete G ';

}

}

G2＝G2.Next；

}

}

G1＝G1.Next；

(5) direction of all closed outlines that obtain in the markers step (3) comprises clockwise direction and counter clockwise direction.Clockwise direction is labeled as 1, is labeled as-1 counterclockwise.Judge the direction of a closed curve G, only need to take out any secondary Bezier line segment among the G, judge that its direction gets final product.Concrete treatment step is as follows:

1. appoint from closed outline G that to get a secondary Bezier line segment be B, suppose that three control points of B are respectively P[0], P[1], P[2], mid point is Q;

2. determine the direction value d of B: if P[2] .y＞P[0] .y, then d=1; If P[2] .y＜P[0] .y, then d=-1; If P[2] .y=P[0] .y, then d=0;

3. calculate the mid point Q of B;

Till.At this moment the straight line of Q0 and Q1 formation is exactly the straight line section after the discretization.Coordinate with each point amplifies M doubly at last, and making original floating number coordinate transform is the integer type coordinate.

Why the space length with every after discretization straightway is limited in

Main thought be make the horizontal range of the starting point of every straightway after the discretization and terminal point and vertical range all smaller or equal to

The straight line section is passed through at most

Individual pixel.So just can guarantee the precision of caption rendering.
