Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The embodiment of the invention can detect whether the imaging device for shooting the image rotates to rotate the shot image so as to store or display the normal image, can detect the supporting equipment such as a holder or a bracket for mounting the imaging device when detecting whether the imaging device rotates, and can correspondingly determine that the imaging device also rotates if the supporting equipment rotates; the method can also detect a moving object (such as an unmanned aerial vehicle UAV) carrying the imaging device, and determine whether the imaging device rotates by judging whether the moving object turns over or the like.

Specifically, referring to fig. 4, which is a flowchart illustrating a first embodiment of an image processing method according to the present invention, the method according to the present invention may be executed by a processor in an imaging device such as a camera, a video camera, or the like, and the image processing method specifically includes performing a rotation operation on a captured image such as a picture or a video, so as to store or display the captured image in a normal display manner (the upper portion of a captured object is displayed on the upper portion of a display terminal), and specifically, the method includes:

s101: when an image is acquired, the position state of an imaging device used for shooting the image is determined.

The image processing method according to the embodiment of the present invention is executed when an imaging device such as a camera or a video camera takes an image such as a photograph or a video.

The position status may specifically be related rotation angle information obtained from a sensor (such as an accelerometer or a gyroscope) in the support device or the mobile object, the rotation angle information including an angle and a direction in which the corresponding support device or the mobile object has rotated. The position status may be an indication message indicating that the support device or the mobile object has rotated, which is obtained from another processor, and the other processor determines the indication message after analyzing and processing the related rotation angle information obtained from the sensor in the support device or the mobile object.

The sensors that detect the rotation may in particular comprise accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc. The sensor may determine the position state of the corresponding imaging device according to an angle between the relative axial direction of the supporting device or the moving object and the gravity direction, or according to a value of the gravitational acceleration detected by the gravity sensor, for example, if the gravitational acceleration value of the supporting device or the moving object is detected to be-g (g refers to the gravitational acceleration), it may be determined that the supporting device or the moving object is flipped by 180 degrees.

The related information (such as the above-mentioned rotation angle information) for confirming the position state may be obtained from a sensor such as a gravity sensor actively when the image is collected; or may be acquired from the sensor periodically or in real time as needed to enable a timely determination of the positional state of the imaging device at the time of the acquired image. Of course, the sensors may actively push when they detect rotation (the sensed data changes).

S102: and if the position state indicates that the imaging device is in a rotated position state after rotation, rotating the acquired image according to a preset rotation rule.

As long as the rotation of the supporting apparatus or the moving object is detected, it can be determined that the rotation of the imaging device has occurred, and a rotation operation needs to be performed on the captured image. Particularly, when it is detected that the imaging device is rotated by 90 degrees or 180 degrees, it is necessary to rotate the captured image by 90 degrees or 180 degrees in the opposite direction of the rotation according to the rotation rule, or rotate the image by 270 degrees or 180 degrees in the rotation direction according to the rotation rule, so that the upper half of the image is displayed on the upper half of the display device, and the lower half of the display device corresponds to the lower half of the displayed image.

Before executing the S101 or the S102, it may be determined whether a user selects a rotation operation function for controlling automatic rotation of the image, if so, the S101 or the S102 is executed, otherwise, the S101 or the S102 is not executed, so as to meet different requirements of the user.

Specifically, whether the position state is detected to indicate that the imaging device is in the rotated position state after rotation may be described with reference to the corresponding embodiments of fig. 7 to 9.

S103: and outputting the image after the rotation operation is performed.

The image on which the rotation operation is performed is output so as to store the rotated image in a memory or display the rotated image in a display.

It can be understood that, when the acquired image is one or more pictures, the executed rotation operation rotates each picture; when the acquired image is a video, the executed rotation operation rotates each frame in the video so as to rotate the whole video.

Referring to fig. 5 again, the method of the embodiment of the present invention is a flowchart illustrating a second embodiment of the image processing method, where the method may be executed by a processor in an imaging device such as a camera, a video camera, or the like, and the image processing specifically includes performing a rotation operation on an image such as a captured picture or video, so as to store or display the captured image in a normal display manner (the upper portion of the image corresponding to the captured object is displayed on the upper portion of the display terminal), and specifically, the method includes:

s201: and judging whether the automatic rotation operation function is started or not.

Mechanical keys or APP buttons may be provided for the user, and when the user wishes to perform automatic image rotation, the rotation operation function is turned on by clicking the trigger mechanical button or APP button.

Before executing the automatic image rotation, it is detected whether the related function is turned on, if so, the following S202 is executed, otherwise, the process is ended.

S202: when an image is acquired, the position state of an imaging device used for shooting the image is determined.

Whether the position state is a rotational position state is determined based on rotation angle information of a support device on which the imaging apparatus is mounted, or rotation angle information of a moving object on which the imaging apparatus is mounted, or rotation angle information of the imaging apparatus.

S203: and if the position state indicates that the imaging device is in a rotated position state after rotation, rotating the acquired image according to a preset rotation rule.

The rotation rule comprises reversely rotating the image according to the rotation angle and the direction indicated in the rotation position state; or according to the rotation angle and the direction indicated in the rotation position state, rotating the image in the indicated direction, and ensuring that the sum of the rotation angle of the image and the rotation angle indicated in the rotation position state is 360 degrees.

For example, when it is determined that the imaging device is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, the image is rotated 90 degrees clockwise, or the image is rotated 270 degrees counterclockwise.

S204: and outputting the image after the rotation operation is performed.

Specifically, the specific description of S202 to S204 may refer to the description of the corresponding embodiment in fig. 4.

S205: and storing the image after the rotation operation is executed or displaying the image after the rotation operation is executed.

s301: when an image is acquired, the position state of an imaging device used for shooting the image is determined.

S302: and if the position state indicates that the imaging device is in a rotated position state after rotation, judging whether an automatic rotation operation function is started.

Before executing the automatic image rotation, whether the related function is started is detected, if so, the following step S303 is executed, otherwise, the process is ended.

S303: and executing rotation operation on the acquired image according to a preset rotation rule.

S304: and outputting the image after the rotation operation is performed.
