Detailed Description
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for playing a freeview video according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method is performed by an electronic device. The memory of the electronic device is used for storing at least one executable instruction, and the executable instruction enables the processor of the electronic device to execute the operation of the free view video playing method.
As shown in fig. 1, the method comprises the steps of:
step 110: when a user watches the freeview video, eye movements of the user are tracked to determine the focus position of the user on the freeview video on a playing screen.
The freeview video is a video that can be viewed with multiple views. When the free view angle video is manufactured, a certain number of cameras are required to be deployed on a shooting site to acquire the video, and then the video acquired by each camera is synchronously aligned, spliced and transcoded. When video acquisition is carried out, the total camera number of the camera is firstly determined according to the shooting place and the camera position arrangement of the camera, and then the shooting focus is determined according to video content. For example, when the video content is a basketball game, the shooting focus may be determined to be basketball. Furthermore, each camera position of the camera can be numbered according to a certain sequence, and the current total coverage angle of the main machine position and all the camera positions and the coverage angle difference of each adjacent camera position can be calculated in real time according to the arrangement of each camera position and the distance from the camera focus. For example, after numbering, each camera position is C 1 、C 2 .....C N The real-time calculated host bit is C m (making host bit C) m Is C 1 To C N One of them), the total coverage angle of all the machine positions is PVT, and the coverage angle difference of each adjacent machine position is PV (i,j) I, j represent two adjacent machine positions.
Fig. 2 shows a schematic view of a camera position arrangement of a camera according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the total machine bit number n=17, and the adjacent machine bit coverage angle difference PV is shown (i,j) I= 8,j =9, and the main machine bit is C 9 . Further, all adjacent machine coverage angle differences can be expressed as an array as follows.
PV 1,N-1 =[PV (1,2) PV (2,3) ...... PV (N-1,N) ]
The total angle of coverage PVT for all the stations can be calculated by the following formula.
After each camera in the shooting site (acquisition end) completes video acquisition, video streams acquired by each camera position and camera position information can be transmitted to a video cloud with low time delay. The machine bit information CIT at the current time T can comprise a total machine bit number N and a current master machine bit C m The coverage total angle PVT of all current machine positions and the coverage angle difference of each adjacent machine position are as follows:
CIT=CI(N,C m ,PVT,[PV (1,2) PV (2 ,3) ...... PV (N-1,N) ])
after receiving the video stream and the machine position information returned by the shooting site, the video cloud can finish synchronous alignment, splicing and transcoding of all paths of machine position video streams based on the video frame time stamp of an NTP (Network Time Protocol, network clock protocol) clock, and sends the transcoded video stream and machine position information to the terminal for playing. After receiving the video stream and the machine position information sent by the video cloud, the terminal can play the video stream according to the machine position information. When playing the video stream according to the machine position information, the playing machine position can be set to be the making machine position C m Default to make host bit C m Video play is performed from the view angle of (a).
When a user views the freeview video, as the main focus area of the freeview video changes, the projection point of the eyeball of the user on the playing screen also changes. Thus, based on tracking of the eye movements of the user, the user's focus position on the freeview video can be determined on the play screen. The user's focus on the freeview video may include, for example, the user's gaze point on the play screen. Furthermore, the playing screen of the playing device may be gridded, so that each point on the playing screen corresponds to a unique screen coordinate.
Step 120: and switching the playing view angle of the free view angle video according to the concerned position.
According to the focus position of the user on the free view video, the current optimal playing view angle can be determined in real time, and the playing view angle of the free view video is switched based on the current optimal playing view angle. Further, when the play view angle of the freeview video is switched according to the attention position, a trigger point for triggering the view angle switching can be determined according to the gaze point of the user on the play screen. For example, the gaze point of the user on the playing screen may be extracted by eye tracking technology, the gaze point constituting the basic unit of measure, one gaze point being equal to one sampling point captured by the eye tracker. Further, a gaze point having a duration exceeding a first preset duration may be determined as a gaze point, which is a point of fall where the eye is locked on the screen; and determining the fixation point with the duration exceeding the second preset duration as a trigger point.
Fig. 3 shows a schematic view of a gaze point route of a user according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 3, the gaze point route schematic includes (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5) for a total of 5 points, where (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5) are gaze points, and the duration of (1) and (5) exceeds a second preset duration as trigger points.
After determining the trigger point for triggering the view angle switching, determining the offset direction and the offset proportion of the trigger point relative to the center point of the playing screen, determining the sum of adjacent position coverage angle differences between the target boundary position and the playing host position according to the offset direction, determining the view angle switching angle according to the sum of adjacent position coverage angle differences and the offset proportion, and switching the playing view angle of the free view video according to the view angle switching angle. Before determining the offset direction and the offset ratio of the trigger point relative to the center point of the playing screen, whether the trigger point is located in a preset trigger area or not can be determined, and when the trigger point is located in the preset trigger area, the offset direction and the offset ratio of the trigger point relative to the center point of the playing screen are determined. Further, according to the video viewing habit of the free viewing angle of the user, a thermal map area G may be set on the playing screen, and an area other than the thermal map area G on the playing screen may be set as a preset trigger area. The thermal map area G is generally a certain area near the center of the play screen, and a trigger point in this area does not trigger the view angle switching of the freeview video.
When determining the offset direction and the offset proportion of the trigger point relative to the center point of the playing screen, firstly determining the screen position of the trigger point, and determining the offset direction of the trigger point relative to the center point of the playing screen according to the position relation between the screen position of the trigger point and the screen position of the center point of the playing screen; further, a play screen boundary point corresponding to the offset direction is determined, and the coordinate ratio of the trigger point to the play screen boundary point on a preset screen coordinate axis is determined as the offset ratio of the trigger point relative to the play screen center point, wherein the preset screen coordinate axis can be a coordinate axis in the horizontal direction or a coordinate axis in the vertical direction.
For example, the preset screen coordinate axis is a coordinate axis in the horizontal Direction, the coordinate of the trigger point is C (n, m), n is the coordinate of the trigger point in the horizontal Direction, m is the coordinate of the trigger point in the vertical Direction, the coordinate of the center point of the play screen is (0, 0), and if n is less than 0, the offset Direction D (Direction) =l (Left) of the trigger point relative to the center point of the play screen; if n > 0, the offset Direction D (Direction) =r (Right) of the trigger point with respect to the center point of the play screen. L represents the offset of the trigger point to the left of the center point of the play screen, and R represents the offset of the trigger point to the right of the center point of the play screen. When the coordinates of the boundary point of the playing screen on the preset screen coordinate axis are determined, if the trigger point deviates to the left side of the central point of the playing screen, determining the horizontal coordinates of the boundary point on the left side of the playing screen as the coordinates of the boundary point of the playing screen on the preset screen coordinate axis; if the trigger point is deviated to the right side of the center point of the playing screen, determining the horizontal coordinate of the right side boundary point of the playing screen as the coordinate of the boundary point of the playing screen on the preset screen coordinate axis.
Fig. 4 shows a schematic diagram of a display screen according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 4, the X-axis is a horizontal coordinate axis, the Y-axis is a vertical coordinate axis, X1 is a boundary point on the right side of the play screen, and X2 is a boundary point on the left side of the play screen. When the trigger point is offset to the left of the center point of the play screen, the offset ratio s=n/x 2; when the trigger point is shifted to the right of the play screen center point, the shift ratio s=n/x 1.
When a user watches the freeview video, the eyeball action of the user is tracked so as to acquire the freeview video to be played and the machine position information corresponding to the freeview video to be played from the video cloud before the focusing position of the user on the freeview video is determined on the playing screen, the production host position of the freeview video to be played is determined according to the machine position information, the production host position is determined to be a playing host position for playing the freeview video to be played, and the freeview video to be played is played according to the viewing angle of the playing host position. When the sum of adjacent machine position coverage angle differences between the target boundary machine position and the playing host machine position is determined according to the offset direction, the total machine position number and all adjacent machine position coverage angle differences can be determined according to the machine position information, and the target boundary machine position is determined according to the offset direction and the total machine position number; and determining the sum of adjacent position coverage angle differences between the target boundary position and the playing host position according to the target boundary position and all adjacent position coverage angle differences.
For example, when determining the sum of adjacent position coverage angle differences between the target boundary position and the play host position according to the offset direction, if the trigger point is offset to the left of the play screen center point, the target boundary position may be determined as C 1 The sum PVL of adjacent bit coverage angle differences between the target boundary bit and the playback host bit can be expressed asIf the trigger point is shifted to the right side of the center point of the playing screen, the target boundary machine position can be determined as C N The sum PVL of adjacent position coverage angle differences between the target boundary position and the playback host position can be expressed as +.>When the viewing angle switching angle is determined from the sum of adjacent machine position coverage angle differences and the offset ratio, the product of the sum of adjacent machine position coverage angle differences and the offset ratio may be calculated, and the product may be determined as the viewing angle switching angle. For example, if the trigger point is shifted to the left of the center point of the play screen, the angle of view switching angle sa=pvl×s; if the trigger point is shifted to the left of the center point of the play screen, the angle of view switching angle sa=pvr×s. Further, the terminal playing device can be smoothly switched to a new playing host position based on the angle of view switching.
In the embodiment of the invention, when a user watches the free view angle video, the projection point of the eyeball of the user on the playing screen is changed along with the change of the main attention area of the user to the free view angle video; based on the tracking of the eyeball motion of the user, the attention position of the user to the freeview video can be determined on the playing screen, so that the playing view of the freeview video is switched according to the attention position. It can be seen that the embodiment of the invention can intelligently identify the main attention area of the user on the free view video, further switch the play view angle of the free view video according to the identification result, realize the switch of the play view angle of the free view video without manual operation of the user, greatly simplify the switch process of the play view angle of the free view video and promote the watching experience of the user.
