The image display method provided by the embodiment of the application is described in detail below by means of specific embodiments and application scenes thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 shows a flowchart of an image display method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the image display method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps 110 to 120.

Step 110: a first input of a user is received.

In some embodiments of the present application, the first input may be a first operation, where the first input is used to control the electronic device to display the image in the album application in the cluster display mode, that is, to trigger the image index window including at least one index thumbnail and the image indicated by each index thumbnail to be displayed simultaneously in the electronic device. Illustratively, the first input includes, but is not limited to: the user inputs the control on the screen, the touch control on the screen area, or the voice command input by the user, or the specific gesture input by the user, or other feasibility inputs through a touch control device such as a finger or a stylus, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited. The specific gesture in the embodiment of the application may be any one of a single-click gesture, a sliding gesture, a dragging gesture, a pressure recognition gesture, a long-press gesture, an area change gesture, a double-press gesture and a double-click gesture; the click input in the embodiment of the application may be single click input, double click input, or any number of click inputs, and may also be long press input or short press input. For example, the first input may be: the user clicks on an icon of an image management application, such as an album application.

In some embodiments of the present application, a list of images in an image management application is displayed first, and then a first input is received from a user, which may be that the user slides at the edge of the screen toward the center of the screen, so that in the case of displaying the list of images, an image index window is displayed.

Step 120: in response to the first input, an image index window including at least one index thumbnail and an image indicated by each index thumbnail are displayed.

Wherein one index thumbnail indicates at least one image; in the case where one index thumbnail indicates at least two images, the image similarity between the at least two images is greater than a similarity threshold.

Alternatively, the present embodiment is implemented based on a certain image management application, and therefore, images having image similarities greater than a similarity threshold value with respect to each other can be found as one image group based on all the images held in the image management application, and this one image group can be indicated by one index thumbnail.

The images included in one image group may be still images such as JPEG images, GIF images, and PNG images, or may be moving images such as GIF images. In addition, one image group may further include video.

In some embodiments, a method for computing image similarity between any two images is provided. First, several dimensions, for example, three dimensions of feature information of a photographing object, image photographing time, and image photographing place, are set in advance, each dimension is given a different weight, the weight of the feature information of the photographing object is large, may be 90%, and the weight of the image photographing time and the image photographing place is small, 5% respectively. Then, calculating a first similarity based on characteristic information of a shooting object in any two images, calculating a second similarity based on shooting time of any two images, and calculating a third similarity based on shooting places of any two images, multiplying different similarities by different weights, and adding to obtain image similarity between the two images.

Illustratively, an image of a user eating pizza by himself and an image of a user eating noodles by herself, wherein the display area occupied by the user himself is 80% of the images, and the remaining 20% is used for displaying food, and the calculated first similarity between the two images is 70%; the shooting time of one image is 11 am on 9 months and 23 days, the shooting time of the other image is 12 am on 9 months and 24 days, and the two images are separated by one day, so that the second similarity between the two images is 80%; the shooting location of one image is a store in a certain market, and the shooting location of the other image is another store in the market, so that the third similarity between the two obtained images is 90%. Finally, the image similarity is: 70% ×90% +80% ×5% +90% ×5% =71.5%.

Further, if the image similarity between any two images is greater than a similarity threshold, dividing the two images into an image group, calculating the image similarity between any image in the image group and other images based on any image in the image group, and if the obtained image similarity is greater than the similarity threshold, dividing the other images into the image group.

For a video, a key frame in the video is required to be extracted, the similarity of the image between the key frame and any image is calculated, and if the obtained similarity of the image is greater than a similarity threshold, the video and any image are divided into an image group. A piece of video includes a plurality of key frames, and thus, a piece of video may be divided into a plurality of image groups. Or, among all the image similarities obtained based on the video, determining the maximum value of the image similarities, and only reserving the division result of the maximum value.

In some embodiments, the similarity threshold may have a value in the range of [60%,90% ], i.e., the similarity threshold may be any one of 60% to 90%, such as 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, etc.

Further, an image is determined in a group of images, and a thumbnail of the image is taken as an index thumbnail of the group of images. The system can automatically select and display clear, complete and other images with higher quality.

In some embodiments, in an image management application, such as an album application, images of a plurality of meals are stored, the images are taken at relatively close times, such as within a week, and each image is taken by the same person, the area ratio of the person in the image is also large, and at the same time, the address of the taken image is located within a range, such as a business circle, so that the images are divided into a group, and the thumbnail of one of the images is selected as an index thumbnail.

In some embodiments, to avoid the image index window from having too much impact on the displayed image display, the background transparency of the image index window may be set higher, the image index window may be set as a floating window, and the image index window may be displayed in the screen edge region.

In the embodiment, the image display can ensure that a user browses a single image, and meanwhile, the user can conveniently and rapidly index and position by means of the image index window.

In an embodiment of the present application, a user triggers, via a first input, the display of an image index window, the image index window comprising at least one index thumbnail, one index thumbnail indicating at least one image; additionally, the first input synchronization may trigger the display of images of each index thumbnail indication. Wherein when one index thumbnail indicates at least two images, the image similarity between the indicated images is greater than a similarity threshold. Therefore, based on the embodiment of the application, only one representative image is displayed in an aggregation mode through repeated images, the display mode of the images is concise, and a user can conveniently and quickly browse images of different shooting objects, so that the user can conveniently and quickly locate the images which the user wants to find.

In the image display method of some embodiments of the present application, in a case where the image index window and the image indicated by each index thumbnail are displayed on the display screen of the straight-panel electronic device, the curved-panel electronic device, or the double-panel electronic device, the first input is a display control input for triggering the display of the image index window and the image indicated by each index thumbnail.

In some embodiments, the electronic device is a straight screen electronic device, a curved screen electronic device, or a double screen electronic device. Thus, with the structural features of a straight screen, a curved screen, a double-sided screen, the first input may be a touch input, a gesture input, etc. made in the screen. For example, the first input is a sliding input by the user in the screen.

In the case where the image index window and the image indicated by each index thumbnail are displayed on the display screen of the folding screen electronic device, the first input is a display control input for controlling the folding screen electronic device to be unfolded to display the image index window and the image indicated by each index thumbnail on the unfolded inner screen.

In some embodiments of the present application, the electronic device is a folding screen electronic device. Thus, with the structural features of the folding screen electronic device, the first input may be an input that controls the unfolding of the folding screen electronic device. For example, the first input is an action of the user turning the screen on.

In some embodiments of the present application, the image display method is applicable to electronic devices with various screen structures, such as a straight-panel electronic device, a curved-panel electronic device, a double-panel electronic device, a folding-panel electronic device, and the like, and in different screen structures, the implementation manner of the first input is different, so that the screen structure characteristics of different electronic devices can be fully utilized.

In some embodiments of the present application, where the image index window and the image indicated by each index thumbnail are displayed on the display screen of the folding screen electronic device, prior to step 110, the folding screen electronic device is in a folded state; the method further comprises the steps of:

step 130: at least one index thumbnail is displayed on an external screen of the folding screen electronic device.

In this embodiment, the folding screen includes an outer screen and an inner screen.

For example, referring to fig. 2, in the unfolded state, the inner screen 201 of the folding screen serves as a display screen, having an advantage of a large display area; referring to fig. 3, in the folded state, the inner screen is folded inside, the outer screen 301 of the folded screen serves as a display screen, the display area of the outer screen is smaller than that of the inner screen, and after the inner screen is folded inside, the electronic device can have the advantage of being convenient to carry. Wherein the folding screen of fig. 3 is not fully folded for ease of illustration.

In an application scenario, for example, after a user clicks an icon of an image management application program on an external screen of a folding screen, a large number of single images in the image management application program are not displayed, see fig. 4, but at least one index thumbnail 401 is displayed, so that non-repeated and dissimilar images are displayed for the user as much as possible under the condition that the display area is limited, and the user can conveniently and rapidly browse and search the images under a smaller screen size.

Correspondingly, step 120 includes:

sub-step 1201: and controlling the folding screen electronic device to be unfolded and displaying an image index window and an image indicated by each index thumbnail on the unfolded inner screen in the case that the first input is an input for controlling the folding screen electronic device to be unfolded.

In this step, the user sees a certain index thumbnail on the external screen, compares the interest, and expands the folded screen into the internal screen, and referring to fig. 5, the image index window 501 and the image indicated by each index thumbnail are displayed on the internal screen, specifically, each image indicated by each index thumbnail may be displayed in the form of a thumbnail, which is typically a small image obtained by performing image processing on one image in the album program, for example, may perform cropping processing on one image, or perform cropping processing and scaling processing on one image, to obtain a small image of one image, for example, the image 502 in fig. 5 is displayed in the form of a thumbnail.

On one hand, the index thumbnail in the image index window aggregates a large number of relatively identical images, so that a user can conveniently and rapidly browse different images in the image index window; on the other hand, the images indicated by each index thumbnail aggregate all images in the image management application, including some duplicate, identical images, facilitating detailed viewing of each image by the user.

Optionally, the display mode of the image index window 402 in fig. 4 is an external screen display mode, where m1×n index thumbnails may be displayed, m1 represents the number of rows, n represents the number of columns, 3, and m1 and n are positive integers greater than 1; the display mode of the image index window 501 in fig. 5 is an internal screen display mode, and m2×1 index thumbnails can be displayed, m2 represents the number of rows, 5,1 represents the number of columns, m2 is a positive integer greater than 1, and m2 > m1. In fig. 4, the image index window 402 is closer to the display mode of the image thumbnail in the album interface, such as the album application program, so as to conform to the browsing habit of the user on the album interface; in fig. 5, the image index window 501 is used to index images in the album interface, so that the image index window 501 is displayed in a long list, more like a catalog, so that the user can search quickly. More, the image index window 402 in fig. 4 may display a greater number of index thumbnails and the image index window 501 in fig. 5 may display a lesser number of index thumbnails.

Optionally, the image index window displayed on the outer screen and the image index window displayed on the inner screen are identical in form, so that the usage habit of the user on the image index window is kept consistent.

In the embodiment, by utilizing the screen structure characteristics of the folding screen electronic equipment, the display of the index thumbnail in the folding state and the display of the image index window and the image indicated by the index thumbnail in the unfolding state are realized, so that different requirements of users for browsing images in different scenes are met.

In the image display method of some embodiments of the present application, when one index thumbnail indicates at least two images, a cluster identifier is further displayed on the index thumbnail, where the cluster identifier is used to indicate that the index thumbnail indicates at least two images with image similarity greater than a similarity threshold.

Optionally, the cluster identifier is a pattern identifier or a symbol identifier.

For example, referring to fig. 6, the cluster identifier 601 is displayed on the index thumbnail, and in particular, referring to fig. 7, the cluster identifier 702 is displayed on the index thumbnail 701 in the image index window.

In this embodiment, in order to illustrate that the number of images indicated by the index thumbnail is more than one, a cluster identifier may be displayed on the index thumbnail to alert the user that the index thumbnail aggregates other more similar images.

In some embodiments of the present application, the image index window includes a first index thumbnail, the first index thumbnail being a thumbnail of a first image of the at least two images.

In the present embodiment, the image content of each index thumbnail is a thumbnail of any one of all the images indicated by each index thumbnail. For example, the image content of one index thumbnail is a thumbnail of one seaside scenery image, and the user considers that the photographing angle of this seaside scenery image is not good, and wants to replace the thumbnail of one seaside scenery image of other photographing angles as the image content of the index thumbnail. Correspondingly, the method further comprises:

step 140: a second input by the user of a cluster identity displayed on a first index thumbnail in the image index window is received.

In some embodiments of the present application, the second input is used to control the electronic device to update the image content of one index thumbnail, and the second input may be a second operation. Illustratively, the second input includes, but is not limited to: the user inputs the control on the screen, the touch control on the screen area, or the voice command input by the user, or the specific gesture input by the user, or other feasibility inputs through a touch control device such as a finger or a stylus, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited. The specific gesture in the embodiment of the application may be any one of a single-click gesture, a sliding gesture, a dragging gesture, a pressure recognition gesture, a long-press gesture, an area change gesture, a double-press gesture and a double-click gesture; the click input in the embodiment of the application may be single click input, double click input, or any number of click inputs, and may also be long press input or short press input. For example, the second input may be: the user is long-pressed for cluster identification.

Step 150: in response to the second input, the first index thumbnail is updated to a thumbnail of a second image of the at least two images.

In this step, the image content of the first index thumbnail is a thumbnail of the first image before the first input is received, and the image content of the first index thumbnail of the image index window is updated to a thumbnail of the second image after the second input is received. As shown in fig. 7, the first image is a lower meniscus image 704, the second image is an upper meniscus image 705, the first index thumbnail 703 indicates the lower meniscus image 704 and the upper meniscus image 705, the image content of the first index thumbnail 703 in fig. 7 is a thumbnail of the lower meniscus image 704, see fig. 8, after updating the first index thumbnail 703 to a thumbnail of the second image in response to the second input, the image content of the first index thumbnail 703 is a thumbnail of the upper meniscus image 705 as shown in fig. 8.

For example, the user long presses the cluster mark, the index thumbnail where the cluster mark is located starts refreshing the thumbnail, the thumbnails of the images indicated by the index thumbnail where the cluster mark is located are refreshed in sequence until the user loosens the hands, and a certain thumbnail is locked.

In this embodiment, for index thumbnails indicating a plurality of images, the function of switching index thumbnails is supported, and the user can manually switch to the thumbnail of another image in the same image group, so that the user can select a thumbnail of an appropriate image as the image content of the index thumbnail according to his habit of cognition, understanding, favorites, and the like. Different users pay attention to the same group of images, such as an index thumbnail indicating image A and image B, wherein the image A is a combination of the user and toy a, the image B is a combination of the user, toy a and toy B, the user A possibly pays attention to toy a, and the user B possibly pays attention to toy B, and when the image content of the index thumbnail is image A, the user A can conveniently and quickly find the image with the toy a paying attention to the user; when the image content of the index thumbnail is the image B, the user B can conveniently and quickly find the image with the toy B focused by the user.

In some embodiments of the present application, the image index window includes N index thumbnails, where N is an integer greater than 1.

In the flow of this embodiment, after step 120, the method further includes:

step 160: a third input to the image index window is received.

In some embodiments of the present application, the third input is used to control the electronic device to update the index thumbnail in the image index window to trigger displaying all images indicated by other index thumbnails not displayed in the image index window, and the third input may be a third operation. Illustratively, the third input includes, but is not limited to: the user inputs the control on the screen, the touch control on the screen area, or the voice command input by the user, or the specific gesture input by the user, or other feasibility inputs through a touch control device such as a finger or a stylus, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited. The specific gesture in the embodiment of the application may be any one of a single-click gesture, a sliding gesture, a dragging gesture, a pressure recognition gesture, a long-press gesture, an area change gesture, a double-press gesture and a double-click gesture; the click input in the embodiment of the application may be single click input, double click input, or any number of click inputs, and may also be long press input or short press input. For example, the third input may be: the user slides down in the image index window.

Step 170: in response to the third input, the N index thumbnails are updated to M index thumbnails, where at least one different index thumbnail exists among the M index thumbnails and the N index thumbnails.

For example, referring to fig. 9 and 10, the N index thumbnails displayed in the image index window 901 are switched to the image index window 10001 to display M index thumbnails, and it is apparent that one index thumbnail 10002 is added in fig. 10 in comparison with fig. 9 in which the index thumbnail 902 in fig. 9 is not displayed.

In some embodiments, when N index thumbnails are displayed, an image indicated by the N index thumbnails is displayed; when the images are updated to the M index thumbnails, the images indicated by the M index thumbnails are correspondingly updated.

Optionally, when the images indicated by the index thumbnails are displayed, the images are displayed according to the sequence positions of the images stored in the image management application program, and when the positions of a plurality of images indicated by any one index thumbnail are more scattered, for example, one image is located at the 5 th image and the other image is located at the 100 th image, in this case, if the index thumbnail is a thumbnail of the 5 th corresponding image, the 5 th corresponding image is displayed, and the 100 th corresponding image is not displayed.

In this embodiment, the user may switch the current index thumbnail in the image index window, so that on the basis of the limited display area of the image index window, the user may browse more index thumbnails by switching. In addition, the image index window and the display image are synchronously switched, so that the user can conveniently and synchronously check the images.

In some embodiments of the present application, the image index window includes a second index thumbnail indicating K images, K being an integer greater than 1.

In some embodiments of the present application, after step 120, the method further comprises:

step 180: a fourth input by the user of a second index thumbnail in the image index window is received.

In some embodiments of the present application, the fourth input is an input for selecting at least one index thumbnail, all images indicated by the index thumbnail selected by the fourth input are also selected, and the fourth input may be a fourth operation. Illustratively, the fourth input described above includes, but is not limited to: the user inputs the control on the screen, the touch control on the screen area, or the voice command input by the user, or the specific gesture input by the user, or other feasibility inputs through a touch control device such as a finger or a stylus, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited. The specific gesture in the embodiment of the application may be any one of a single-click gesture, a sliding gesture, a dragging gesture, a pressure recognition gesture, a long-press gesture, an area change gesture, a double-press gesture and a double-click gesture; the click input in the embodiment of the application may be single click input, double click input, or any number of click inputs, and may also be long press input or short press input. For example, the fourth input described above may be: the user clicks on the second index thumbnail.

In this step, the user only needs to select the index thumbnail in the image index window to select multiple images, and the user selects one index thumbnail in the image index window, so that all images indicated by the selected index thumbnail are triggered to be selected. Therefore, a user does not need to select each image one by one, and can rapidly and accurately select a plurality of images by selecting the index thumbnail, so that the convenience, efficiency and accuracy of the operation of image batch selection are improved.

Step 190: in response to the fourth input, a selection flag is displayed on the second index thumbnail and the K images, the selection flag indicating that one image or one index thumbnail is selected.

For example, referring to fig. 11, a selected logo is displayed on the second index thumbnail 1101 and the images 1102, 1103, 1104, 1105 indicated by the second index thumbnail 1101, the selected logo being shown as logo 1106.

Step 200: a fifth input from the user to the K images is received.

In some embodiments of the present application, the fifth input is used to select an image processing manner to trigger image processing on all the selected images, and the fifth input may be a fifth operation. Illustratively, the fifth inputs described above include, but are not limited to: the user inputs the control on the screen, the touch control on the screen area, or the voice command input by the user, or the specific gesture input by the user, or other feasibility inputs through a touch control device such as a finger or a stylus, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited. The specific gesture in the embodiment of the application may be any one of a single-click gesture, a sliding gesture, a dragging gesture, a pressure recognition gesture, a long-press gesture, an area change gesture, a double-press gesture and a double-click gesture; the click input in the embodiment of the application may be single click input, double click input, or any number of click inputs, and may also be long press input or short press input. For example, the user presses long on the second index thumbnail, displays a plurality of processing options, and clicks on one of the processing options.

Step 210: in response to the fifth input, image processing indicated by the fifth input is performed on the K images.

Wherein the image processing includes at least one of: sharing, deleting, moving, copying, editing.

For example, the user may release his hand long before pressing the first index thumbnail and sliding up to a certain index thumbnail.

In this step, the user only needs to adjust the positions of the index thumbnails in the image index window, and the user adjusts the position of one index thumbnail in the image index window, so that the positions of all the images indicated by the index thumbnail are triggered to be adjusted. Therefore, the user does not need to adjust the position of each image one by one, and the positions of a plurality of images can be quickly and accurately adjusted by adjusting the positions of the index thumbnails, so that the convenience, efficiency and accuracy of the operation of adjusting the positions of the images in batches are improved.

Step 230: and responding to the sixth input, moving the first index thumbnail to a second position in the image index window, and moving the T images to a position corresponding to the second position in the album interface for display.

For example, referring to the variation of fig. 5 to 12, the first index thumbnail 1201 is moved to be in front of the index thumbnail 1202, and then in the album interface of the album application, the image 1203, the image 1204, the image 1205, the image 1206 indicated by the first index thumbnail 1201 are displayed in front of the image 1207, the image 1208, the image 1209 indicated by the index thumbnail 1202.

When the index thumbnail indicates a plurality of images, the images are not adjacent in the album interface, if the position of the index thumbnail is adjusted, the image corresponding to the image content of the index thumbnail and the image adjacent to the image indicated by the index thumbnail are correspondingly adjusted in position, and the rest of the images indicated by the index thumbnail are not adjusted in position in the album interface.

In this embodiment, a method for synchronously adjusting the position of an image indicated by an index thumbnail in an album interface by adjusting the position of the index thumbnail in an image index window is provided, which is helpful for users to orderly browse and sort the images in an album application program.

In some embodiments of the present application, the image index window includes a first index thumbnail and a second index thumbnail, the first index thumbnail indicating T images, T being an integer greater than 1; the second index thumbnail indicates K images, K being an integer greater than 1.

In the flow of this embodiment, after step 120, the method further includes:

step 240: a seventh input by the user of the first index thumbnail and the second index thumbnail is received.

In some embodiments of the present application, the seventh input is used to control the electronic device to hide at least two index thumbnails and all images indicated by the at least two index thumbnails, and the seventh input may be a seventh operation. Illustratively, the seventh input described above includes, but is not limited to: the user inputs the control on the screen, the touch control on the screen area, or the voice command input by the user, or the specific gesture input by the user, or other feasibility inputs through a touch control device such as a finger or a stylus, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited. The specific gesture in the embodiment of the application may be any one of a single-click gesture, a sliding gesture, a dragging gesture, a pressure recognition gesture, a long-press gesture, an area change gesture, a double-press gesture and a double-click gesture; the click input in the embodiment of the application may be single click input, double click input, or any number of click inputs, and may also be long press input or short press input. For example, referring to fig. 13, two fingers of a user hold the first index thumbnail 1301 and the second index thumbnail 1302 simultaneously, and then slide toward the middle of the two fingers, as indicated by the arrows. In this example, a "kneading" interesting way of operation is provided.

In the step, the user only needs to hide the index thumbnails in the image index window to hide the plurality of images, and the user kneads the two index thumbnails in the image index window, so that all images indicated by at least two index thumbnails are triggered to be hidden. Therefore, a user does not need to move each image to other photo albums one by one, and a plurality of images can be quickly and accurately hidden by kneading index thumbnails, so that convenience, efficiency and accuracy of operation of image batch hiding are improved.

Step 250: in response to the seventh input, the first index thumbnail, the second index thumbnail, the T-piece image, and the K-piece image are hidden in a case where the first index thumbnail and the second index thumbnail are adjacent.

For example, referring to fig. 13, the first index thumbnail 1301 and the second index thumbnail 1302 are adjacent, and then the first index thumbnail 1301 and the second index thumbnail 1302 are hidden based on the seventh input; meanwhile, four images, that is, an image 1303, an image 1304, an image 1305, and an image 1306 indicated by the first index thumbnail 1301 are hidden, and an image 1307, an image 1308, an image 1309, and three images indicated by the second index thumbnail 1302 are hidden.

Step 260: in the case where at least one index thumbnail is included between the first index thumbnail and the second index thumbnail, the first index thumbnail, the second index thumbnail, the T-piece image, the K-piece image, all index thumbnails between the first index thumbnail and the second index thumbnail, and images indicated by all index thumbnails between the first index thumbnail and the second index thumbnail are hidden.

For example, referring to fig. 14, the first index thumbnail 1401 and the second index thumbnail 1402 are not adjacent, and then based on the seventh input, the first index thumbnail 1401, the second index thumbnail 1402, and the index thumbnail 1403 therebetween are hidden; meanwhile, three images, i.e., an image 1404, an image 1405, and an image 1406 indicated by the first index thumbnail 1401 are hidden, four images, i.e., an image 1407, an image 1408, an image 1409, and an image 14010 indicated by the second index thumbnail 1402 are hidden, and one image, i.e., an image 14011 indicated by the index thumbnail 1403 is hidden.

In an application scenario, for example, some images in an album application program are used only in special cases by users, and the images cannot be used at ordinary times, and are put in the album application program only for backup, but the images cannot be deleted, however, the images can be puzzled for quickly searching for the images. Therefore, the images can be batch hidden based on the present embodiment.

Alternatively, the user may trigger the hidden image to resume display by a specified input mode. For example, the user slides leftwards in the image index window, triggers the display of the hidden index thumbnail, and long-presses any index thumbnail by the user to restore the display.

In this embodiment, the user filters out a part of the images by hiding the index thumbnail in the image index window, so as to improve the efficiency of searching the images by the user.

In summary, the present application provides a method for efficiently displaying images, and an interaction scheme proposed based on the method, so as to realize stacking, displaying and overall operation of redundant images, so that a user has more efficient browsing and operation experience. The method comprises the steps that a plurality of images with higher similarity are stacked through an algorithm, the most representative image is displayed, meanwhile, a user can directly and conveniently replace the displayed image, the displayed image is displayed in an image index window as an index thumbnail, the user can rapidly browse the images in the image index window and perform integral functional operation on the stacked images, the image index window also supports rapid filtering, and the filtered index thumbnail is not displayed later; the stacked image supports are displayed in a list form, and the images in the image list support synchronous display, synchronous sliding, synchronous filtering and the like of corresponding index thumbnails in the image index window.
