It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present application may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present application with unnecessary detail.
The image acquisition method provided by the embodiment of the application is applicable to terminal equipment, and the terminal equipment includes but is not limited to: smart phones, tablet computers, notebooks, desktop computers, cloud servers, and the like.
It will be understood that the terms "comprises" and/or "comprising," when used in this specification and the appended claims, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.
It should be further understood that the term "and/or" as used in this specification and the appended claims refers to and includes any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
In addition, in the description of the present application, the terms "first", "second", and the like are used only for distinguishing the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply relative importance.
In order to explain the technical solution described in the present application, the following description will be given by way of specific examples.
Example one
The following describes an image obtaining method provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the method is applied to a terminal device (for example, a smart phone), with reference to fig. 1, and the method includes the following steps:
in step S101, if an instruction for instructing the terminal device to acquire an image captured by a Camera is received, an application program interface API function in a Camera framework is called, where the terminal device executes the following operations by calling the API function: receiving data sent by a remote camera, and processing the data to obtain an image contained in the data;
as known to those skilled in the art, in the prior art, when a user starts a camera, a terminal device needs to acquire an image acquired by the camera to display a preview picture; or when the user starts the video call function, the terminal equipment also acquires the image acquired by the camera so as to transmit the image to the opposite contact person of the video call; or when the user starts the live function of the application program (such as a fish fighting program), the image collected by the camera is also acquired. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, when a user starts a camera, the terminal device may be considered to receive an instruction "for instructing the terminal device to acquire an image acquired by the camera"; or, when the user starts the video call function, the user can think that an instruction for instructing the terminal device to acquire the image acquired by the camera is received; still alternatively, when the user starts the live function of the application program, it may be considered that the instruction for instructing the terminal device to acquire the camera to capture the image is received. That is, the present application does not specifically limit the scene in which the terminal device receives the "instruction for instructing the terminal device to acquire the image acquired by the camera".
In the technical solution provided in the present application, if an instruction for instructing the terminal device to acquire an image captured by a Camera is received, an API function in a Camera framework is called (the number of API functions is not limited, and may be one or multiple), and the API function encapsulates a "method for processing data sent by a remote Camera", so that when the API function is called, the terminal device executes the following operations: and receiving data sent by the remote camera, and processing the data to obtain an image contained in the data.
In the prior art, a number of API functions are provided in a Camera framework of a terminal device, for example, for an Android operating system, an OpenCamera function and the like are provided in the Camera framework, and these API functions in the prior art only provide a function of accessing a local Camera installed in the terminal device. The method improves the existing Camera framework (so that the improved Camera framework comprises an API function supporting access to the remote Camera, the API function can be a rewritten API function or a function obtained by modifying the original API function), and the API function in the Camera framework is packaged with a method for processing data sent by the remote Camera. A specific process executed by the terminal device when the API function described in step S101 is called is described below, that is, "receiving data sent by the remote camera and processing the data to obtain an image included in the data" may include the following specific steps:
step A, sending a request to a remote camera to acquire image resolution, a data transmission protocol and an image coding format supported by the remote camera;
the data transmission Protocol may be RTP (Real-Time Transport Protocol), RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol), or RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol), and the specific form of the data transmission Protocol is not limited in the present application.
The image encoding format may be MPEG4, H264, H265, or the like, and the present application also does not specifically limit the image encoding format.
B, receiving data sent by the remote camera;
if it is known that the remote camera supports multiple image encoding formats in the above step a, before performing step B, "request data of a specific image encoding format from the remote camera" may be performed, and then step B may be performed.
And step C, processing the received data sent by the remote camera based on the acquired image resolution, data transmission protocol and image coding format supported by the remote camera, and acquiring an image from the data.
For example, in step C, the data transmitted by the remote camera is subjected to processing such as packet packing and frame searching based on the data transmission protocol, and the data after the frame packing and frame searching is decoded based on the image resolution and the image encoding format, so as to obtain the included image.
In the embodiment of the present application, the operation of "establishing connection with a remote camera" may be encapsulated in the "API function" described in step S101, or may be performed before the API function is called instead of encapsulating the operation into the API function.
In step S102, receiving an image returned by the API function;
after calling the API function in step S101, the terminal device may obtain an image returned by the API function, and the terminal device may directly display the image stream as a preview image, or store the image in a memory, or perform a packaging process on the image, and send the image to other devices.
Based on the analysis, the API function in the Camera framework in the application is packaged with a process of processing data sent by the remote Camera, and when the terminal device is to acquire a picture acquired by the remote Camera, the API function can be directly called to realize the processing, so that development of the target application program is simple and convenient, and a developer can directly call the corresponding API function when developing the program, and how to process the data returned by the remote Camera (because a specific processing process is packaged into the API function) is not required to be considered, so that the development efficiency of the target application program is improved.
Example two
An embodiment of the present application provides another image obtaining method, which is applied to a terminal device, and please refer to fig. 2, where the image obtaining method includes:
in step S201, if an instruction for instructing the terminal device to acquire an image captured by a Camera is received, an application program interface API function in a Camera framework is called, where the terminal device executes the following operations by calling the API function: judging whether a camera for collecting an image to be acquired is a remote camera or not; if the image is a remote camera, receiving data sent by the remote camera, and processing the data to obtain an image contained in the data; if the terminal equipment is a local camera installed on the terminal equipment, acquiring an image acquired by the local camera;
when the "API function" in step S201 is called, the terminal device may be supported to acquire an image acquired by the remote camera or the local camera. Like the first embodiment, the second embodiment does not limit the number of API functions.
In the second embodiment of the present application, a user may set "a camera that collects an image to be acquired" in advance, for example, the user may set the "camera in a setting application" in the terminal device. Then, when the API function is called, the image acquired by the corresponding camera may be acquired based on the setting of the user, and subsequent operations such as display, storage, or image transmission may be performed.
In the second embodiment of the present application, the terminal device executes the following operations by calling the API function:
judging whether a camera for collecting an image to be acquired is a remote camera or not;
if the image is a remote camera, receiving data sent by the remote camera, and processing the data to obtain an image contained in the data;
and if the local camera is installed on the terminal equipment, acquiring an image acquired by the local camera.
Because the remote camera and the local camera have different access modes, it is necessary to first determine whether the camera for collecting the image to be acquired is the remote camera or the local camera, if the camera is the remote camera, the camera communicates with the remote camera to acquire the image collected by the remote camera, and if the camera is the local camera, the camera communicates with the local camera to acquire the image collected by the local camera.
In step S202, an image returned by the API function is received;
the specific implementation manner of step S202 is the same as that of step S102 in the first embodiment, and specific reference is made to the description of the first embodiment, which is not repeated herein.
In the prior art, an API function for accessing the local Camera is provided in the Camera framework, and based on this, many applications in the prior art, such as WeChat, fighting fish, QQ, and Camera applications, etc., all implement access to the local Camera by calling the API function. Therefore, if the API function described in step S201 is an improvement on the existing API function (i.e., a piece of code is added to the existing API function for accessing the local camera, so that the existing API function adds a function for accessing the remote camera), many existing applications, such as WeChat, Dougu, QQ, or camera applications, can be made to access the remote camera without any improvement.
Based on the technical scheme of the second embodiment of the present application, the following is explained based on fig. 3, so that the current wechat application can transmit the picture collected by the remote camera to the opposite side in real time when performing a video call.
As shown in fig. 3, an application "WeChat" is installed on a terminal device 301, a local camera 302 is installed on the terminal device 301, and the terminal device can communicate with a remote camera 303.
Suppose that the existing wechat application program realizes access to the local Camera 302 by calling an API-X function in a Camera framework in the prior art, so that the wechat can support functions such as video call, for example, when a user makes a video call with a wechat friend, the user can transmit a picture acquired by the local Camera 302 to the other party in real time. In the second embodiment of the present application, if the API-X is modified, when the API-X is called, the terminal device can perform the following operations: judging whether a camera for collecting an image to be acquired is a remote camera or not; if the image is a remote camera, receiving data sent by the remote camera, and processing the data to obtain an image contained in the data; and if the local camera is installed on the terminal equipment, acquiring an image acquired by the local camera. Then, those skilled in the art can easily understand that, in this case, there is no need to change the existing wechat application, that is, when the "camera for acquiring the image is set as the remote camera" (the user may set in advance, that is, set in advance before executing the step S201), the image acquired by the remote camera is acquired and transmitted to the opposite contact in real time, so as to solve the technical problem that the wechat cannot transmit the image acquired by the remote camera to the opposite contact in real time in the prior art. Similarly, based on the technical scheme described in the second embodiment of the present application, the technical problem that in the prior art, live broadcast application programs such as a fish dipper can only live broadcast pictures collected by a local camera can be solved, and specific reasons are not repeated here.
Therefore, in the technical scheme provided by the second embodiment of the application, the terminal device can access the local camera and the remote camera through the API function, so that for a research and development worker of the target application program, the remote camera and the local camera can be monitored only by calling the API function, and great convenience is brought to programming operation. In addition, in the technical solution provided in the second embodiment of the present application, if the API function described in step S201 is "obtained by modifying an API function that is originally used in a Camera framework and accesses a local Camera", an existing application program that supports access to the local Camera may be enabled to access a remote Camera without any modification, that is, the remote Camera may be virtualized as a local Camera, so that some existing application programs (for example, a WeChat, a fighting fish, a QQ, or a Camera application program and the like) may access the remote Camera as accessing the local Camera, thereby solving the technical problem that in the prior art, the WeChat, the fighting fish, the QQ, the Camera application program and the like only can access the local Camera and cannot access the remote Camera, and no modification is required to the application program.
EXAMPLE III
An embodiment of the present application provides another image obtaining method, which is applied to a terminal device, and please refer to fig. 4, where the image obtaining method includes:
in step S401, if an instruction for instructing the terminal device to acquire an image captured by a Camera is received, an application program interface API function in a Camera framework is called, where the terminal device executes the following operations by calling the API function: judging whether the identity mark of a camera for acquiring an image to be acquired is a first mark or a second mark; if the first identification is the first identification, judging whether the camera corresponding to the first identification is a remote camera or not; if the image is a remote camera, receiving data sent by the remote camera, and processing the data to obtain an image contained in the data; if the terminal equipment is a first local camera installed on the terminal equipment, acquiring an image acquired by the first local camera; if the identification is the second identification, judging whether the camera corresponding to the second identification is a remote camera; if the image is a remote camera, receiving data sent by the remote camera, and processing the data to obtain an image contained in the data; if the terminal equipment is a second local camera installed on the terminal equipment, acquiring an image acquired by the second local camera;
in the technical solution provided in the third embodiment of the present application, when the API function in the Camera framework is called, the terminal device can access the Camera corresponding to the first identifier or the Camera corresponding to the second identifier, and both the Camera corresponding to the first identifier and the Camera corresponding to the second identifier may be a remote Camera or a local Camera. As in the first embodiment, the third embodiment also does not specifically limit the number of API functions described in step S401. The API function provided in the third embodiment enables a developer of the target application program to access the two local cameras and the remote camera only by calling the API function, so that the developer can develop the application program conveniently.
At present, most of terminal devices in the prior art are provided with two local cameras, which are a front camera and a rear camera, respectively, and therefore in this embodiment of the application, one of the first local camera and the second local camera in step S401 may be the front camera, and the other may be the rear camera.
In addition, in the third embodiment of the present application, before the step S401 is executed, an operation interface (which may be added to a "setting application") may be provided to the user, and the user may perform setting on the operation interface, so as to determine the cameras corresponding to the first identifier and the second identifier respectively.
In this embodiment of the application, the camera corresponding to the first identifier may be preset to be a first local camera, the camera corresponding to the second identifier may be preset to be a second local camera, and then, based on the initial setting and the setting of the user on the operation interface, it is determined whether the cameras corresponding to the first identifier and the second identifier are remote cameras or corresponding local cameras. For example, the operation interface may display the searched remote camera for the user to select; secondly, establishing connection with a remote camera selected by a user; then, if the connection is successful, setting operation of the user on the identity of the remote camera which is successfully connected is detected, if the user is detected to set the identity of the remote camera which is successfully connected as the first identity, the camera corresponding to the first identity is set as the remote camera, and if the user is detected to set the identity of the remote camera which is successfully connected as the second identity, the camera corresponding to the second identity is set as the remote camera.
In addition, the user can change the camera corresponding to the first identifier to the first local camera and change the camera corresponding to the second identifier to the second local camera on the operation interface.
As shown in fig. 5, the terminal device provides an operation interface for a user, after entering the operation interface, the user can turn on a search switch on the operation interface, and after detecting that the search switch is turned on, the terminal device searches for a remote camera and displays the searched remote cameras on the operation interface in a list form; secondly, a user can click any remote camera on the operation interface, and when the terminal equipment detects the click operation of the user, the connection is established with the remote camera clicked by the user; and then if the connection is successful, reminding the user to set the remote camera as a front camera or a rear camera.
The skilled person can easily understand that "reminding the user to set the remote camera as a front-facing camera or a rear-facing camera" as described herein is equivalent to "reminding the user to set the identity of the remote camera as a first identity or a second identity", and since the first identity and the second identity are relatively difficult to abstract and may be difficult to understand by a general consumer, on the operation interface, the identity of the remote camera can be determined by reminding the user to set the remote camera as a front-facing camera or a rear-facing camera, and the skilled person can easily understand that, if the remote camera is set as a front-facing camera, it is equivalent to virtualizing the remote camera as a local front-facing camera, that is, if the identity of the front-facing camera is initially preset as the second identity, the identity of the rear-facing camera is the first identity, then, if the user sets the remote camera as the front camera through the operation interface, it can be determined that the camera corresponding to the second identifier is changed from the local front camera to the remote camera, and the camera corresponding to the first identifier is still the rear camera.
At present, most of terminal devices in the prior art are provided with a front Camera and a rear Camera, and in order to enable an application program in the terminal device to access the front Camera and the rear Camera, an API function for acquiring an image acquired by the front Camera or the rear Camera is provided in an existing Camera framework. In the third embodiment of the present application, the existing API function may be modified, so that when the modified API function is called, the terminal device can implement "determining whether the identity identifier of the camera acquiring the image to be acquired is the first identifier or the second identifier … … to acquire the image acquired by the second local camera" in step S401. In this case, it is possible to make the remote camera accessible to the existing application programs capable of accessing the front and rear cameras without any modification. This is explained in more detail below with reference to fig. 6.
In the prior art, in order to distinguish the front camera from the rear camera, different identifiers need to be respectively allocated to the front camera and the rear camera, for example, if the identifier of the front camera is a first identifier (for example, 00) and the identifier of the rear camera is a second identifier (for example, 01), when an existing API function is called, the terminal device may first determine the identifier of the camera acquiring the image to be acquired, and if the identifier is the first identifier, acquire the image acquired by the front camera, and then return the image to the application program. How a camera application displays an image captured by a front camera as a preview screen in the prior art is described with reference to fig. 6 (a). As shown in fig. 6(a), the terminal device calls an API function in an existing Camera framework to obtain an image captured by the front Camera, and returns the image to the Camera application, wherein in step S604a, if the terminal device detects that the identifier of the started Camera is the first identifier, the terminal device may call a V4L2 video driver framework to obtain the image captured by the Camera (i.e., the front Camera) corresponding to the first identifier, so as to return to the Camera application, so that the Camera application obtains the image captured by the front Camera, and performs a preview screen display.
In the third embodiment of the present application, an existing API function may be modified, so that when the modified API function is called, the "determining whether the identity identifier of the camera acquiring the image to be acquired is the first identifier or the second identifier … … and then acquiring the image acquired by the second local camera" in step S401 may be implemented, where the specific modified method may be: when the API function is called, step S604a executed by the terminal device is changed to step S604 b. That is, when the modified API function is called, if it is detected that the identifier of the enabled camera is the first identifier, the following operations are performed in the HAL layer:
judging whether the camera corresponding to the first identifier is a remote camera or not;
if so, receiving data returned by the remote camera, processing the data, and acquiring an image contained in the data;
if not, the V4L2 video frame may be called to obtain the image captured by the first identified camera (i.e., the front camera).
Similarly, if the camera identifier detected to be started is the second identifier, the following operations are executed on the HAL layer:
judging whether the camera corresponding to the second identifier is a remote camera or not;
if so, receiving data returned by the remote camera, processing the data, and acquiring an image contained in the data;
if not, the V4L2 video frame may be called to obtain an image captured by the second identified camera (i.e., the rear camera).
As can be seen from this, in the example shown in fig. 6, for the Camera application, when the user sets the Camera for acquiring the image to be acquired in the Camera application as the "front Camera", that is, it is equivalent to inform the API function in the Camera framework that the identity of the Camera for acquiring the image to be acquired is the first identifier, and if the Camera corresponding to the first identifier is set as the remote Camera in advance (for example, the user sets the remote Camera as the front Camera in the operation interface in advance), the picture acquired by the remote Camera may be displayed in the Camera application. Obviously, the access to the remote camera can be realized without modifying the camera application program, and the access to the remote camera can also be realized without modifying other application programs such as WeChat, fighting fish or QQ and the like.
In the third embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can access the two local cameras and the remote camera through the API function, so that for the research and development personnel of the target application program, the monitoring on the remote camera and the two local cameras can be realized only by calling the API function, which is greatly convenient for programming operation.
In addition, in the technical solution provided in the third embodiment of the present application, if the terminal device provides an operation interface so that the user can set the cameras corresponding to the first identifier or the second identifier, and the API function in step S401 is obtained by modifying the API function that is originally used in the Camera framework and accesses the front-facing Camera and the rear-facing Camera, the application program that can be accessed by the front-facing Camera or the rear-facing Camera at present can be made to access the remote Camera without any modification. For example, for a WeChat application program, if a user sets a remote camera as a front-facing camera on an operation interface, then when the user uses WeChat to perform video call, if the front-facing camera is turned on, pictures acquired by the remote camera can be sent to a contact of the opposite party, and therefore the technical problem that some existing application programs can only access a local camera and cannot access the remote camera is solved.
Example four
