In embodiment, any Parallel application of any sequence or filter of any filter or filter is defeated Enter can be the haptic tracking of original conversion, the output of any filter, filter any sequence output or filtering One in the output of any Parallel application of device.
By multiple filters, the selection of filter and application model (that is, parallel or in order) are based on Design style/hobby of user, and can for media clip part and change.For example, in first five minute, filter 1 It can be applied in order to 5, and in next two minutes, filter 2 and 3 can be with Parallel application etc..Each filter It can be applied (such as advanced level user's mode) according to style/hobby of user with different parameters, or be come with default parameters Using (i.e. no user intervention).
In one embodiment, an available filter is " aggravate collision " filter, by it is following come to again It wants or gives more attention in relation to the relevant very brief effect (" colliding ") sharply but strongly of event, that is, reduce in the effect The amplitude of effect and effect immediately after before, sometimes by the short decaying into carryover effect.It is touched to give More attention are hit, need to feel collision different from back to back in preceding effect.And then embodiment, which reduces, " collides " The intensity/amplitude in preceding effect.Embodiment is greater than specific threshold or " collision threshold for example, by finding the absolute value of haptic tracking The sample of value " (such as 0.9), to find the collision in haptic tracking.Once finding " collision ", embodiment just checks haptic tracking Time of the expression before collision " searching window " (such as 500ms) sample.In these samples, it is small to find absolute value In specific threshold or " exclude threshold value " (such as 0.3) and covering be greater than specific threshold or " excluding duration threshold " (such as The block of the connected sample of time 50ms).Then make these samples invalid (i.e. range value is reduced to 0).
In one embodiment, an available filter is " aggravating last " filter.In general, in editing/tracking Last haptic effect should be usually it is strong, to mark the end of editing, thus answer automatic weight increasing it (such as compared with high-amplitude Degree).Therefore, filter " is aggravated last " to find the net effect in haptic tracking and amplify its amplitude.This can be by will most The sample value of effect is realized multiplied by the gain factor for being greater than 1 (such as 1.5) afterwards.Embodiment finds in haptic tracking indicate first The sample (i.e. the last sample of net effect) of the end of net effect.For this purpose, finding absolute value in tracking is greater than specific threshold Or the last sample of " silent threshold value " (such as 0.1).Embodiment, which then passes through, considers owning before the end of net effect Sample, and find the last block of " tactile silent " in these samples, to find beginning (i.e. the of net effect of net effect One sample).Net effect is initially the first sample followed after this last " tactile is silent "." tactile is silent " is exhausted Is less than by specific threshold or " silent threshold value " (such as 0.1) and is covered for value and is greater than specific threshold or " silence durations threshold value " The connected tactile eye track sample of the time of (such as 100ms) is determined.
In one embodiment, an available filter is " scene fusion " filter, is suitable for that user is made to experience matchmaker Transition in body editing between a scene and next scene.Embodiment " will fade out " strategy applied in preceding scene tactile It tracks and/or strategy " will be faded in " and be applied to current scene haptic tracking.Fig. 3 is two scenes of fusion according to one embodiment The diagram of (" scene 1 " and " scene 2 ").Embodiment be come by distinguish related (in each scene) haptic effect can It aggravates or prominent in the transition in editing between different scenes.Embodiment implements " fading out " and " fades in " scheme then to carry out Filter.
In one embodiment, the function is only just applied in following scene:
● in the final time window in first scene/tracking or in " window is searched in fusion " (such as 500ms) Haptic effect and the haptic effect in first time window in subsequent scene/tracking or in " merge and search window " are all strong Strong (the tactile sample i.e. in each with the maximum value greater than such as 0.5);Or
● if two effects are all that slight effect (has the touching of the maximum value less than such as 0.5 i.e. in each Feel sample) but with similar intensity (i.e. two lookup window each in maximum value differ only by such as 0.1).
In addition, last " search window " (" window of the filter applied to the haptic effect of first scene that will fade out as follows 1 "), and first " search window " (" window 2 ") of the filter applied to the haptic effect of subsequent scene will be faded in:
● embodiment finds the maximum value in the first half of window 1, and constructs signal " signal 1 " identical with window 1, with Modify it as follows afterwards: the sample for arriving maximum value position from the beginning will all have value=1;So that subsequent sample (from maximum sample until signal 1 ends up) value is reduced to the mode of 0 (in the ending of signal 1) linearly from the maximum value of identification to count Calculate these samples.1 sample of window is then multiplied by 1 sample of signal (element is multiplied by element), and result replaces window 1 to be added to original In beginning haptic tracking.
● embodiment then finds the maximum value in window 2, and constructs signal " signal 2 " identical with window 2, then with As under type modifies it: from maximum value position until the sample that signal 2 ends up all has value=1;So that preceding sample The mode that (starting from signal 2 until this maximum sample) value linearly increases from 0 (in the beginning of signal 2) to the maximum value of identification To calculate these samples.2 sample of window is then multiplied by 2 sample of signal (element is multiplied by element), and result is added instead of window 2 Into original haptic tracking.
In one embodiment, an available filter is " dynamic range compression/extension " filter, is adapted so that Weak effect is weaker and/or makes potent fruit stronger.Embodiment improves the amplitude of powerful effect, and reduces the width of effect by a small margin Degree.Tactile sample value is transformed to logarithmic scale (in terms of decibel dB) first by filter.Value is greater than specific threshold " thr1 " (example As -30dB) tactile sample can have the following new value calculated using yield value " gain " (such as 1.5):
New_value=((old_value-thr1) * gain)+thr1
Institute tactile sample of the value less than specific threshold " thr2 " (such as -50dB) can have uses pad value as follows The new value that " att " (such as 2) calculate:
New_value=thr2- ((thr2-old_value) * att)
In one embodiment, an available filter is " actuator capabilities " filter, what filtering automatically generated Haptic tracking, to adapt to the ability of the actuator in expected playback apparatus.In general, the equipment of the actuator according to playback apparatus and Quality, changed by making partly or entirely preliminary haptic effect extend or shorten specific, predetermined values (such as 10ms) tactile with Track.For example, for the haptic effect based on quality, adjustment may include changing the parameter of delimiting period value (i.e. effect being implemented The length of time and unfruitful time).For example, the haptic effect of quality may include 10ms for the duration of effect Effect and 10ms are silent.In one example, on " Galaxy S4 " smart phone of Samsung Corp. based on quality The periodic quantity of haptic effect is 10ms, and on " G2 " smart phone of LG Corp., effect becomes the periodic quantity with 25ms More preferably, although the two all has the LRA as haptic output devices.To this filter, a required input is actuator Or the ability of other haptic output devices of playback apparatus, the position of type, haptic output devices including haptic output devices It sets.This can provide manually or read automatically from the pre-stored value in look-up table.
In other embodiments, some filters can be applied to the haptic effect that adjustment generates, to add in tactile The dependent event (i.e. " object of interest ") of special object in media clip is focused on, or otherwise reduces the important of these events Property.This object can be selected in one embodiment by user/designer, or automatic by system in another embodiment Detection.Another embodiment can be with adjustment effect in the case where given movement and the proximity of video camera.In general, these realities Example is applied for improvement " being detached from context " problem, the meeting when automatically generating haptic effect using sensing data sometimes of this problem Occur.More specifically, amplitude/intensity by effect can be clearly observed this problem.For example, when use is living from BMX When the data captured in dynamic cycling obtain haptic effect, the haptic effect automatically generated is usually approached in bicycle and is taken the photograph The amplitude having the same when camera and when it is far from video camera.As a result, haptic effect feels less true, because they do not have Reflect close concept.
In addition, haptic effect relevant to object/movement exist in video with video camera apart from closer another person/ Viewer can be generated in the case that object is mobile and obscured.This, which is obscured, arises from the fact that viewer perceives effect To be related to " movement " of generation (closest with video camera) in the foreground, and actually they may be obtained from background (with take the photograph Camera is farthest) in " movement ".Solution in this concrete condition is in the conceived case (i.e. if can get sensing Device data) haptic effect that is shown from " foreground action " is reduced by the effect for being obtained from " background movement " if not all right Amplitude.
Since " object of interest ", " background/foreground " and " proximity with movement " filter are based on video input.In reality It applies and has used computer vision scheme in example.
Fig. 4 is shown to be adjusted according to the computer vision (" CV ") implemented by " object of interest " filter of one embodiment It is whole.In Fig. 4,401, user by object/people for starting in editing (i.e. user/designer think interested object or People) two-dimensional representation on click (it is assumed that obtaining sensing data 405 for the object) to select tactile associated therewith Object/people.The object in video can be tracked in 402, CV algorithm, and estimates itself and video camera in every N number of frame 403 Distance.It is then modulated to (in N number of respective frame) on the estimated distance 407 406 for the haptic effect of the Object Creation.Example Such as, when object is close to video camera, effect can be made stronger (i.e. by sample value multiplied by the gain factor for being greater than 1), Huo Zhe When object is far from video camera, so that effect is weaker (i.e. by sample value multiplied by the reduction factor less than 1).Gain/reduction factor Value can linearly change with the estimated distance with video camera.
The tracking of object is carried out by tracking visual signature relevant to the object in each frame and estimating its movement. The visual signature being able to use includes but is not limited to: color, Scale invariant characteristic conversion (" SIFT "), accelerates steadily and surely shape Feature (" SURF "), histograms of oriented gradients (" HOG ") descriptor, Lis Hartel sign, Corner Detection (Shi-Tomasi) feature and Wavelet transformation.Optical flow computation technology, Kalman filtering or particle filter scheme are able to use to execute tracking.
Fig. 5 shows the CV in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention implemented by " background/foreground " filter and adjusts.Scheming In 5, the object in each scene (N number of frame) is automatically divided into foreground and background action object/thing in 502, CV algorithm Part (that is, if object in the foreground, but does not move, does not just consider it).Another algorithm comes in 503 use pattern matching process These objects are identified, and 505, if sensing data relevant to object in the foreground is identified as is available (with object class Phenotypic marker), then haptic tracking is generated using the sensing data.If it is not, just using the sensor number of background object According to creating tactile.It can also dynamically application background/prospect filtering.In entire media clip, object/people can change position It sets, therefore object/people in the foreground can be different in different moments.Embodiment can be adapted to this constraint, and correspondingly change Become haptic effect.Object/people based on identification the object/people identified can also be adjusted at a distance from video camera as described above The haptic effect of creation.The distance can be calculated by tracking/identification step.
By the feature of object in detection image and then they are classified relative to the feature of well-known object to carry out pair Matching process/property identification of elephant.The feature being able to use includes but is not limited to: color, shape, Scale invariant characteristic conversion (" SIFT "), accelerate robust feature (" SURF "), histograms of oriented gradients (" HOG ") descriptor, Lis Hartel sign, Corner Detection (Shi-Tomasi) feature, wavelet transformation.Neural network, support vector machine (" SVM "), adaptive enhancing can be used (Adaboost) classifier, cascade classifier, K arest neighbors (" KNN ") and Bayesian network come into classification.
Fig. 6 shows the CV tune implemented by " proximity with movement " filter according to another embodiment of the invention It is whole.In Fig. 6, in the ratio for the pixel that the estimation of 601, CV algorithm fast moves in each scene (N frame).If this intermediate value Height, then video camera is just with " movement " in the scene close to (such as viewpoint (" POV ") video camera), and the tactile therefore generated Effect should just have by a relatively large margin.Otherwise, haptic effect should just be felt weaker.One embodiment is estimated using optical flow computation This proximity.
Fig. 7 is according to the embodiment in adjust automatically/filtering haptic effect tracking, the stream of the function of the system 10 of Fig. 1 Cheng Tu.In one embodiment, the function of the flow chart of Fig. 7 is situated between by being stored in memory or other computer-readable or entities The software implementation executed in matter and by processor.In other embodiments, which can be by hardware (such as by using dedicated collection At circuit (" ASIC "), programmable gate array (" PGA "), field programmable gate array (" FPGA ") etc.) or hardware and software Any combination executes.
702, haptic effect is automatically generated in response to the input medium received, the input medium received can include Audio data or video data, and may include the sensing data for objects one or more in scene.The result is that automatic Haptic effect tracking, may include multiple editings or scene.
704, receives one kind of the haptic effect tracking for automatically generating or multiclass adjusts or the selection of filtering.One In a embodiment, available filter includes " aggravating collision ", " aggravating last ", " scene fusion ", " dynamic range compression/expansion Exhibition ", " actuator capabilities ", " object of interest ", " background/foreground " and " proximity with movement " filter.
706, tracked based in 704 selection or multiple selections to filter the haptic effect automatically generated, and generate most Whole filtered haptic effect tracking.
