The present invention relates to a replacing method of an object in an image, more particularly, to a replacing method of an object in a dynamic image, wherein the dynamic image is a dynamic image file or a real time dynamic image. The replacing method of the present invention is to replace an object of the dynamic image by using a program, wherein the program comprises the first database, the second database, and a user interface. Saved contents of the first database are plural characteristics of the first object, which will be replaced, in the dynamic image. Saved content of the second database is the second object, which will be used to replace the first object. When the dynamic image is showed, the program of the present invention will start to detect the first objects, which are in the dynamic image, by using the plural characteristics of the first objects and will start to proceed an object characteristic comparing procedure. In the object characteristic comparing procedure, the program of the present invention uses a similar rate to detect and adjust the first objects, which are in the dynamic image. When a similar rate of an object, which is detected from the dynamic image, is higher than a set value, the object is belong to the first object. Then the second objects, which are saved in the second database, will replace the first objects, which are showing in the dynamic image. In the showing dynamic image procedure, a user can use the user interface to get a static image, whose first object is replaced by using the second object.

Description

1225225 V. Description of the invention α) 5 -1 Field of the invention: The present invention is a method for replacing objects in an image, and more particularly, it relates to a method for replacing objects in a moving image, wherein the moving image is a moving image file or Real-time motion images to provide users with more choices to replace real-time motion images and objects in motion images to achieve better entertainment effects. 5-2 Background of the Invention: For today's information users, especially personal computer users, the mode of contacted computer information has entered the era of so-called Mul ti-Media from a more monotonous text mode. And multimedia means that the data contains text, video, sound and other content. In order to make the data available to the audience in the form of multimedia, many multimedia devices have been developed that can capture images or sound. Because multimedia data contains more content, the memory capacity required to process multimedia data needs to be higher than the monotonous text mode, so that the multimedia data is presented in a smoother mode. For image input devices, scanners (sca n aer), digital video cameras, and digital earner a are currently more common devices. Digital cameras use digital resources

[Short-cut Indication (] int Ph〇t graphic ExPerts Group; G) coffin format. Digital cameras are usually stored in A V I multimedia playback format. * / A V I multimedia playback format is a project format defined by Microsoft Corporation (μ ic 〇 s 〇 f t) in the video file (V i d e o f o r W yn d o w s) developed for the video system. Among the files belonging to the AVI # media playback format, y stores data streams of many different types of media (d a t a s t r e a m). Each shellfish stream can be an independent medium, such as: video data stream, audio data stream, text data stream, etc. An application that supports the A V I multimedia playback format must be able to play these data streams simultaneously. Therefore, AV I multimedia playback format is one of the most important file formats in the multimedia field. A V I files can be played without special hardware, so the speed of circulation on personal computers (PCs) is very wide. Because this file format divides the animation into individual still images,

1225225 V. Description of the invention (3) The surface image only stores the "difference" part from the previous image, so some pixel comparison must be done before playing. Only about 20 day and day images can be played per second. And these images are usually only half the screen size. After transferring the files in the digital camera to the computer, the files can be stored as a file in A V I multimedia format. When a charge coupled device (01 ^ 1 ^ 6-Coupled, Device; CCD) is connected to a computer, a real-time dynamic image can be obtained on the screen. A so-called charge-coupled element is a circuit device that is sensitive to light. A digital camera or a digital video camera uses the information remaining on the charge-coupled device to convert the sensitivity of each image point component to light into digital image data for storage. In the traditional method, when playing a multimedia format video file, if you want to hide some objects in the video file, such as human faces, you usually adopt a foggy method to convert this fogged format. It overlaps with some components in the moving image file, so that the viewer cannot clearly see the true appearance of some components. However, this fogging method cannot be used on the current moving image file, and the fogging method cannot fully protect the entire view of the object to be hidden because the setting value of the fogging degree is different. And this foggy method can be easily cracked by software or hardware without losing the meaning of hidden parts. Therefore, traditionally adopting a foggy method to conceal the objects in the moving image file may cause inconvenience to the user and cannot achieve the effect of entertaining the public.

1225225 V. Description of the invention (4) 5-3 Purpose and summary of the invention: In view of the above background of the invention, the traditional mist processing method cannot conceal some objects in the real-time moving image. The present invention mainly provides a method for replacing some objects in a dynamic image file by using feature identification and replacement of objects in a database, so as to conceal some desired objects in the dynamic image, wherein the dynamic image is a dynamic image file. Or live video. The second object of the present invention is to replace the real-time moving image file and some objects in the moving image file by using the feature identification and object replacement in the database to increase the entertainment effect of the moving image.

Description of the invention (5) According to the object in the database, the program described by this dynamic shadow replacement method, the identification of the above-mentioned features of the user and the hidden hidden dynamic image is a dynamic The image uses a program, and the object of the present invention replaces a desired image file in the image, or it includes a first database and a first interface dynamically. Most of the first objects replaced by the first database are a moving image file or a second object that replaces the first object with the real-time moving image. The formula uses the first object in the first database and performs an object to design the program object of the present invention. When the content of the invention's image characteristic state shadow pair is the second, the state shadow is the second, the majority of the state shadows are to be compared in the course of the process, the program in the image is a piece, and the video object is used to take the first place. The replacement of the first replacement put in the process can be judged by the object contained in the object sequence, and the object is in the process of being the first to make the first thing one thing can be used, and the first similarity is greater than one. . Next, using the motion picture in the playback, the user can use the static image of the object to select the motion picture of the object on the user interface. The different first objects and the first plurality provide the characteristics of storing two data in the dynamic image when the motion is hidden. Secondly, it is used in the two data image when the dynamic object feature comparison is performed by a search. Do you want to do it? When you want to take it, you need to use some objects in a method to image some objects. The original object, library, and the content are stored in the database where the video is played and the search process is started. When the similarity is passed by the object, that is, the part stored and used in the library is judged. Among them, when the user finds the dynamic shadow image stored in the user, the search dynamics are the first in the object search dynamic feature ratio than the searched storage. object. Actively make the interface capture the state of the video playback to complete the completion of the second object's movement of the first object for the same second object to fetch the moving image

Next, the user can set the first object in the moving image to be replaced on the user interface, and select the second object to replace the first object on the user interface. When the first object is a plurality of different objects, the user may also sequentially select different second objects on the user interface to correspond to the different first objects. Next, use a player program to execute a moving image file, such as: A V I multimedia format file, or use a charge-coupled element to display a real-time moving image on the screen. When the moving image is being played, the program of the present invention starts to search for the first object in the moving image by using the object characteristics in the first database. In the process of object feature comparison, the method of the present invention uses a similarity to search for the first object contained in a moving image and performs an object feature comparison process. When the similarity of the searched object is judged to be greater than a set value through the feature comparison process, it is determined that the searched object is the first object. Next, the second object stored in the second database is used to replace the first object in the moving image being played. During the process of playing the dynamic image, the user can use the interface to capture a still image with the second object instead of the first object. After the motion image is played, the user can choose whether to replace the motion image of the first object with the motion image of the second object on the user interface. When the first object to be replaced is a plurality of first objects and different first objects need to be replaced by different second objects, the trajectories of different first objects in the moving image can be used for classification. The first object of the same type is replaced by the same second object.

Page 13 1225225 V. Description of the invention (8) Referring to the first figure, this is the first flowchart of the present invention. The user must first install and drive the program 100 provided by the method of the present invention. Next, the user can set the real-time moving image file or the first object in the moving image file to be replaced on the user interface, and select the second object 1 10 to replace the first object on the user interface. When the first object is a plurality of different objects, the user can also sequentially select different second objects on the user interface to correspond to the different first objects. Then use a player program to execute the motion picture file, such as: A V I multimedia format file, or use a charge-coupled element to display a real-time motion picture on the screen. When a dynamic image or a real-time dynamic image is being played, the program of the present invention starts the process of searching for the first object in the dynamic image and performing an object feature comparison by using the object characteristics in the first database. In the process of object feature comparison, the program of the present invention searches a first object included in a moving image by using a similarity degree, and determines whether the similarity degree is greater than a set value of 1 40. When the searched object is judged to have a similarity greater than a set value through the feature comparison process, it is determined that the searched object is the first object 150. When the searched object judges that its similarity is not greater than a set value in the feature comparison program, it is judged that the searched component is not the first component 160 to be replaced. Next, the second object stored in the second database is used to replace the first object 170 in the moving image being played. The following is the use of the method of the present invention to replace the inner part of a moving image.

Page 14 1225225 V. Description of the Invention (9) One of the embodiments of the sub-component, wherein the moving image is a moving image file or a real-time moving image, but it does not limit the scope of the present invention. Usually, the daytime faces of the characters are included in the moving image. If the characters in the movie want to hide their true face without being recognized by the viewer, the traditional method is usually used. The faces of the characters are mist-treated so that users cannot recognize the true appearance of the characters on the video. However, this mist processing method is easier to be cracked by people, and it is easier to destroy the overall beauty of the image. Therefore, the method of the present invention must be adopted to ensure the privacy of the characters in the film and increase the entertainment and aesthetic effects. First, the program provided by the method of the present invention must be installed on a computer and the program must be driven. Next, the user can use the user interface to select a pattern or a plurality of patterns from a plurality of patterns stored in the second database to replace the faces of the characters in the moving image. Various graphics stored in the second database are usually the faces of animals to increase the entertainment effect when broadcasting dynamic images. If only a single person appears in the moving image file, the user only needs to select an image on the user interface to replace the face of the single person in the moving image in the subsequent steps. If there are many different characters in the moving image, the user can choose to sequentially select different images on the user interface to replace the faces of different characters in the moving image in the subsequent steps. The user can also select only one image on the user interface, but when playing a moving image, the faces of different people will be

1225225 V. Description of invention (ίο) Replaced by the same image. Next, the user can start playing a moving image, where the moving image is a moving image file or a real-time moving image. While playing the image, the program of the present invention searches for a person's face and makes a similarity judgment by using the characteristics stored in the first database. Because this embodiment replaces the faces of people in moving images, the feature values stored in the first database are all feature values that judge human faces, such as: skin color, facial features, and eye color and many more. In the process of searching for faces, a similarity judgment must be performed at the same time. When the similarity between an object in the moving image and a feature value stored in the first database is greater than a set value, it is determined that the object is a human face. If the similarity between the object in the moving image and the feature value stored in the first database is not greater than a set value, it is judged that the object is not a human face. If there are many different faces in a moving image, they are distinguished as different faces by the different trajectories of the different faces moving in the moving image, and they are numbered sequentially so that the different faces correspond to Different images selected by the user on the user interface. After the faces of the people in the moving image are recognized, the face selected by the user on the user interface is replaced by the image. The viewer can only see an image of a person's face on the screen, and cannot know the true appearance of the person in the moving image. With different needs of users, users can use the user interface of the program of the present invention to

Page 16 1225225 V. Description of the invention (π) One of the images to be captured is a static image. After the video file is played, the user can use the user interface to choose whether to replace the original video file with the video file that replaces the face of the person with the image, or replace the video with the image of the face of the person. The file is additionally saved as a new movie file. When using the images of the second database to replace the faces of people in the moving image ^ The images replacing the face can be enlarged or reduced according to the size of the face in the moving image, so it is not easy for the viewer to get Know the true face of the characters in the moving image. When the file that replaces the face of a person with an image is stored as a new file, the face of the person in the moving image file has been replaced by the image, so other people cannot know in other ways that the moving image file The true appearance of the characters inside can therefore protect the privacy of the characters in the film and increase the entertainment effect of the film. Referring to the second figure, this is a second flowchart of the present invention. This second flowchart is a flowchart of using the method of the present invention to replace a person's face in a moving image with an image. First, the program provided by the method of the present invention must be installed on a computer and the program 2 1 0 must be driven. Next, the user can use the user interface to select a pattern or a plurality of patterns 2 2 0 from a plurality of patterns stored in the second database to replace the faces of the characters in the moving image. Then the user can start playing a moving image, where the moving image is a moving image file or a real-time moving image 2 3 0. While playing the image, the program of the present invention searches for a person's face and makes a similarity judgment by using the features stored in the first database 2 40. A phase obtained when the objects in the moving image are compared with the feature values stored in the first database

1225225 V. Description of the invention (12) When the likelihood is greater than a set value, the object is judged to be a human face 2 50. If the similarity between the object in the dynamic image and the feature value stored in the first database is not greater than a set value, it is judged that the object is not a human face 2 60. If there are many different faces in a moving image, they are distinguished as different faces based on the different movements of different faces in the moving image, and they are numbered sequentially so that the different faces correspond. To the different images selected by the user on the user interface. After the faces of the people in the dynamic image are recognized, the face selected by the user on the user interface is then used to replace the faces of the people 2 70. To sum up, the present invention provides a method that uses the identification of features in the database and the replacement of objects to replace some of the objects in the live video file and the live video file, so as to conceal the live video file or the video file Some hidden objects. An alternative method of the present invention is to use a program to replace the real-time moving image and the objects in the moving image, wherein the above-mentioned program includes a first database, a second database, and a user interface. The content stored in the first database is a plurality of features of the first object to be replaced in the dynamic image. The content stored in the second database is a second object that is intended to replace the first object. When the moving image is played, the program of the present invention starts the process of searching for the first object in the moving image and performing an object feature comparison based on the object characteristics in the first database. In the process of object feature comparison, the program of the present invention uses a similarity to search for a first object contained in a moving image. When the searched object is judged to have a similarity greater than a set value in the program of feature comparison, it is judged

1225225 V. Description of the invention (13) The searched object is the first object. Next, the second object stored in the second database is used to replace the first object in the moving image being played. In the process of playing a dynamic image, the user can use the capture interface to capture a still image with the second object instead of the first object. After the motion image is played, the user can choose whether to replace the motion image of the first object with the motion image of the second object on the user interface. When the first object to be replaced is a plurality of first objects and different first objects need to be replaced with different second objects, the different first objects can be used to move in the moving image or real-time moving image. To classify and replace the first object of the same type with the same second object.
