wherein, a plurality of devices of shooing include in the concrete arrangement of hemisphere: the hemisphere is divided into a plurality of parts by the spherical latitude line and the spherical longitude line, each part is intersected by the adjacent longitude line and latitude line to obtain at least 3 intersection points, and the plurality of photographing devices comprise wide-angle cameras arranged at each intersection point.

In the embodiment of the invention, each photographing device is connected with the image splicing device, and the photographed images can be sent to the image splicing device.
102. And splicing the images shot by the plurality of shooting devices into a panoramic image.
Specifically, after the image stitching device receives the image transmitted from each photographing device, the following processing needs to be performed on the image: the method comprises the steps of projection plane unification, feature extraction, feature matching, image registration and fusion, exposure compensation and ghost removal, and finally a panoramic map capable of covering the outer surface of a hemispherical model is obtained.
Wherein the projection plane uniformization processing includes: and images under different projection planes shot by each shooting device are converted to be under the same plane by adopting homography transformation between plane projections.
Wherein the feature extraction comprises: detecting and extracting feature points of each image, for example, extracting the SIFT feature points of each image by adopting a Scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) method, performing continuous filtering on each image for a plurality of times to obtain a first Scale group image, reducing the width and the height of an original image by half, performing continuous filtering for a plurality of times to obtain a second Scale group image, and continuously repeating the process until the width and the height of the image are less than or equal to a set threshold value; carrying out difference on the Gaussian images in each scale to form a Gaussian difference scale group image; and solving and calculating local extreme points of the images of the Gaussian difference scale groups, namely the local extreme points are the Sift characteristic points. The Sift characteristic points are local characteristics of the image, have good invariance to translation, rotation, scale scaling, brightness change, shielding, noise and the like, and keep certain stability to vision change and affine transformation.
The feature matching comprises the following steps: because the images shot by the adjacent wide-angle cameras are partially overlapped (the local overlapping degree is high), for two images with an overlapping area, RANSAC (an abbreviation of RANdom Sample Consensus, which is an algorithm for obtaining effective Sample data by calculating mathematical model parameters of data according to a group of Sample data sets containing abnormal data) algorithm is used for screening feature points, and then a matched feature point pair between the two images is established by using a Sift/KD-Tree (short for k-dimensional Tree, which is a data structure for segmenting a k-dimensional data space).
Image registration and fusion includes: the image registration is to obtain image space coordinate transformation parameters through the matched feature point pairs; finally, carrying out image registration by the coordinate transformation parameters; the image fusion can use non-multiresolution technology or multiresolution technology to improve the utilization rate of image information, improve the accuracy and reliability of computer interpretation and improve the spatial resolution and spectral resolution of images.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, exposure compensation and de-ghosting processing need to be performed on each image, wherein the exposure compensation can perform exposure adjustment on the image according to the target histogram curve.
And the image splicing device repeats the steps to splice the images shot by each shooting device into a panoramic image.

Therefore, a position mapping relation exists between the virtual hemispherical model and the hemispherical surface.
In the embodiment of the invention, in order to improve the transmission efficiency and reduce network transmission resources, after the images shot by each shooting device are spliced into the panoramic image by the image splicing device, the spliced panoramic image can be subjected to lightweight lossless compression and then transmitted to the virtual reality equipment through the network.
The virtual reality equipment decompresses the received panoramic image, and then correspondingly maps the decompressed panoramic image onto the outer surface of the virtual hemispherical surface model to form a three-dimensional panoramic image based on virtual reality.
In the embodiment of the invention, each photographing device simultaneously photographs from outside to inside in the center direction of the hemisphere from different angles, so that the three-dimensional panoramic view corresponding to the observation angle of the user can be displayed in real time when the user circles around the center direction of the hemisphere, the observation position can be changed freely by the user, the range of the observation activity area of the user is greatly enlarged, and the user experience is improved.
Specifically, when the user circles around the center direction of the hemisphere, the position and view angle information of the user is acquired, and the image on the hemispherical surface model at the corresponding position and view angle is subjected to three-dimensional image display according to the position and view angle information of the user.
When a viewpoint height adjusting instruction is triggered, the corresponding viewpoint height position is raised, and the corresponding viewpoint height, horizontal positioning and images on the hemispherical model in the view angle direction are subjected to three-dimensional image display; the triggering conditions of the viewpoint height adjusting instruction include, but are not limited to, the following examples: when it is monitored that a button which is positioned on the virtual reality equipment and used for triggering the viewpoint height adjusting instruction is triggered, triggering the viewpoint height adjusting instruction; or when the preset times that the user wearing the virtual reality equipment continuously jumps to trigger the viewpoint height adjusting instruction are monitored, the viewpoint height adjusting instruction is triggered.
When a user approaches to the center direction of the hemisphere, the resolution of the displayed three-dimensional image is improved by a preset multiple, and the displayed three-dimensional image is clear and is not distorted. As shown in fig. 2, when a user approaches a scene center point along a radius, in order to enable a virtual reality device to clearly and finely display a virtual reality three-dimensional image with high resolution in different depths of field, a resolution of 1080P is increased when a user viewpoint approaches the scene center point, for example, the resolution is increased by a specified multiple through a neural network, the specified multiple is generally set to be 2-4 times, and the closer a viewpoint is to the scene center point, the higher the multiple is set, so as to ensure the image to be clear and undistorted.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, a sensor is disposed in the virtual reality device, and is used for tracking the head of the user to determine the position and the posture of the head of the user in the real world, so that the viewing angle of the virtual world can be determined.
According to the embodiment of the invention, a plurality of photographing devices which are symmetrically and uniformly arranged on the hemispherical surface in a spherical surface position relationship with each other photograph the central direction of the hemispherical surface at the same time, images photographed by the plurality of photographing devices are spliced into a panoramic image and sent to virtual reality equipment, and the panoramic image is pasted on the outer surface of the corresponding virtual hemispherical surface model to be displayed in a three-dimensional panoramic image. Because the images shot by each shooting device are partially overlapped with each other (the local overlapping degree is high), the image coverage density is higher, the full-angle panoramic image coverage can be realized, and the effect is smoother and closer to a real scene when the partially overlapped images are spliced into a three-dimensional panoramic image. Furthermore, each photographing device shoots the semi-spherical center direction from different angles from outside to inside, so that the three-dimensional panoramic view corresponding to the observation angle of the user can be displayed in real time when the user circles around the semi-spherical center direction, the observation position can be changed at will by the user, the range of the observation activity area of the user is greatly enlarged, and the user experience degree is improved.
