The user can also edit the MMS message containing the facial image by using personal mobile communication equipment such as mobile phone, PDA, wireless internet equipment, send to a special service number, and make an image processing request to the image processing management device through the MMS service center device. At this time, the system 200 is shown in fig. 2, and includes an image processing/managing apparatus 112, a gateway 116, an MMS service center apparatus 110, and a plurality of mobile communication terminals 102. Wherein the image processing/managing apparatus 112 is connected to the gateway 116 through a local area network, performs image processing by receiving a request from a Web or WAP site user or a request from a mobile terminal user, and can transmit the processed image to the gateway.
The block diagram of the image processing/managing device 112 is shown in fig. 3, and the image processing/managing device can be divided into five modules, i.e., a transceiver module, a task scheduling module, an image processing module, a face detection engine module, and an image management module, in consideration of the requirements of concurrent processing and expandability. Shown in fig. 3, the transceiver module includes a receive thread 302, a receive message queue 304, a send message queue 306, and a send thread 308; a task scheduling module 310; the image processing module 312 may be further divided into image sub-modules 312a, 312b, 312c, and so on; a face detection engine module 314; the image management module 316 further includes a storage space 318. The image processing management device allocates a permanent storage space for each user, so that the user can conveniently manage the face image.
The transceiving module is composed of transceiving threads (302, 308) and transceiving queues (304, 306) for ensuring possible massive concurrent requests and concurrent transmissions from site users and mobile terminal users. Each individual receive and send thread runs in the background in the form of a Dameon ("daemon thread"), and thread-safe receive and send message queues may buffer temporarily unhandled requests. The receive queue and the transmit queue are both thread-safe FIFO (first-in first-out) queues, and the size of the queues can be customized according to the size of concurrency.
The request instructions from the Web site, WAP site, PC client and mobile terminal user include: image processing instructions, uploading instructions, viewing instructions, editing instructions, deleting instructions, forwarding instructions, and the like. The uploading instruction is used for uploading the facial image by a user, the viewing instruction is used for viewing the existing facial image of the user, the editing instruction is used for selectively editing the existing facial image of the user, the deleting instruction is used for deleting the specified facial image by the user, and the forwarding instruction is used for forwarding the MMS facial image data of the user to the E-mail address specified by the user. The received message queue can be classified according to different request instructions, the image processing instruction and the uploading request are directly sent to the task scheduling module, the corresponding image processing sub-modules are called by the task scheduling module according to the image processing instruction and multimedia resources such as pictures, characters and music uploaded by users for processing, and other types of user requests are sent to the image management module for processing. The message sending queue can transmit the processed image data to the gateway for transmission.
The workflow of the receive and transmit threads (302, 308) in the transceiver module is shown in fig. 4. After the receiving and sending threads are started, the receiving thread receives the request of the user, namely the request of the user is put into a receiving queue for subsequent processing. And if the sending thread finds that the user request exists in the sending queue, the sending thread performs related processing according to the sending request type (sent to a site, sent to an electronic mailbox, sent to a mobile terminal and the like) of the user.
The task scheduling module 310, the image processing module 312 and the face detection engine module 314 together form an image processing engine of the image processing management apparatus.
The face detection engine module 314 is a core module of the image processing engine. In order to improve the speed and accuracy of face detection, the face detection engine uses the following detection method: the method comprises the steps of carrying out skin color detection, illumination compensation and skin color segmentation in an image preprocessing stage to carry out face pre-extraction, sending the processed image into a sub-classifier based on a statistical model, carrying out multi-pose face detection by adopting subspace-based algorithms such as Boosting, local feature analysis and the like, carrying out data post-processing on the detected result, carrying out face verification by utilizing the forehead closure of the face, the closure of the core area of the face and the feature distribution of the core area of the face, and obtaining the final result which can achieve the high face detection rate aiming at various pose head images of the face with different light backgrounds and different sizes in a gray image and a color image.
The image processing module 312 is made up of several scalable sub-modules 312a, 312b, 312c, etc. On the basis of the output result of the face detection engine module 314, each sub-module can respectively realize the image processing functions of face phase deformation, face phase synthesis, addition of character and sound information in the face phase image, extraction of face phase characteristics, creation of a new face phase image and the like. The output result of the image processing module can be called by the task scheduling module. The number and the functions of the image processing modules can be customized and deployed rapidly by developers according to actual requirements.
The task scheduling module 310 is configured to take out a task from the receiving queue, distribute the task to different image processing sub-modules according to types customized by a user, and put a processing result returned by the image processing sub-module into the sending queue.
The workflow of the image processing engine is shown in fig. 5.
The image management module 316 is composed of two functional sub-modules, a storage sub-module and a message processing sub-module. The storage submodule is used for storing a face image processing result generated by a user. The submodule can monitor and filter the sending message queue, extract image data and user data from the sending message queue and store the image data and the user data in a background database. The message processing sub-module can filter various requests needing to be processed by the image management module from the receiving queue, such as viewing requests, editing requests, deleting requests, forwarding requests and the like, and correspondingly process different requests. If the user request is an image viewing request, the message processing submodule extracts user information from the receiving queue and then extracts picture data from the permanent storage space, the user information is packaged and then sent into the sending queue, and the sending queue is directly returned to a Web site, a WAP (wireless application protocol) site, a PC (personal computer) client or a mobile terminal user through a gateway; if the user request is an image editing request, the message processing sub-module extracts user information from the receiving queue, extracts a picture to be edited by the user from the permanent storage space, packages the picture and then sends the picture to the receiving queue, and the request information at the moment is not different from the request format of the picture uploaded by the user, so that the request information is processed by the task scheduling module and a final result is sent to the sending queue; if the user request is an image deletion request, the message processing submodule extracts user information from the receiving queue, then finds corresponding user data in the permanent storage space, and returns user prompt information to the user through the sending queue after deletion operation is performed; if the user request is a forwarding request, the image processing sub-module extracts user data from the receiving queue, then finds corresponding user data in the permanent storage space, packages the user data together with the electronic mail address specified by the user, sends the information into the sending queue, sends the information to the gateway by the sending thread at the moment, and generates an electronic mail format aiming at the information by a port connected with the internet by the gateway and sends the electronic mail format to the corresponding address. Of course, the storage submodule can also be separated as an independent storage space 318 as shown in fig. 3.
The gateway 116 is connected to the MMS service center apparatus 110 through a dedicated data link. The MMS center device can send the processed image to the terminal user (such as mobile phone, PDA, wireless internet device, etc.), and the communication protocol used in the interaction process between the MMS center device and the mobile terminal device is CDMA, GPRS, EDGE or 3G communication protocol. In addition, the gateway is also directly connected with the internet, and the facial image can be forwarded to an e-mail address designated by a user or directly sent to a mobile terminal user through a WAP PUSH according to the requirements of a website user or the mobile terminal user, wherein the WAP PUSH is a communication mode directly reaching the mobile terminal of the user through the internet.
