When the master device also has an image acquisition function, in some simple scenarios, the master device can also select an acquisition device to assist in acquisition. The method for collecting an image in the embodiment of the present invention is described in the embodiment of the present invention.

When determining the first collection device and the second collection device, the master device may obtain the first information of the multiple collection devices in the system, and determine the first collection device and the second collection device according to the first information, where the first device The information includes at least one of a collection location and an acquisition angle of the plurality of acquisition devices.

Specifically, the master device only needs to determine the position of the target object or the acquisition angle. Obtaining the location or collection angle of a plurality of collection devices within a certain range around the location of the target object, and determining the location and angle of the collection device that meets the collection requirements as the target collection device (for example, the first collection device and the second collection device) Used for image acquisition.

The master device may also acquire the second information of the first information and the target object, and determine the first collection device and the second collection device from the plurality of collection devices according to the first information and the second information, where the first device The two information includes at least one of a location of the target object and an acquisition angle.

Mode 2

The master device acquires the location of the target object by means of an event, and acquires the collection location or the acquisition angle of the multiple collection devices according to the location of the target object.

Specifically, when the amount of access of an event by the master device on the server exceeds the access threshold, the location of the event (ie, the target object) (ie, the location of the target object) can be known through data analysis. Thereafter, the master device can acquire the location or the acquisition angle of the plurality of collection devices in a certain range around the location, and select the location or the acquisition device with the appropriate acquisition angle as the target collection device from the multiple collection devices. graphic gathering.

Generally, hotspot information can be obtained through hotspot processing, hot word processing, hotspot prediction, and the like. The hotspot information here refers to the network information on the network with attention or access exceeding the threshold. For example, the master device can collect hot topic, event, and news with high degree of interest by collecting the online behavior of the operator, and perform event classification and hotspot value calculation of the hot event according to the predefined service type.

At this point, the master device will automatically select the target collection device among the many collection devices in the C city stadium and its surrounding area, and indicate the selected multiple collection device pairs during the period from 19:00 to 21:00 that evening. The scene of the concert was coordinated to capture a panoramic video of the concert.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the collection device may be any electronic device that has an image collection function and can be connected to the Internet. FIG. 2 shows a schematic structural block diagram of an acquisition device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, for a certain collection device, the utility model mainly includes the following functional modules: a processing module, which is used to control various parts of the hardware device and application software of the collection device, and a storage module, which is used to complete each of the collection devices. Storage of software programs, storage of data, operation of software, etc.; acquisition module for collecting video and other data using sensor devices such as cameras and microphones; display module for displaying user interface and operation results, receiving processing module The processing data is displayed and displayed; the communication module is used for communication with the main device, the cloud server or other collection devices, and the specific communication method can use cellular, Ethernet, and wireless fidelity (English: Wireless Fidelity, referred to as : Wi-Fi), Bluetooth, infrared, etc., which are not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

It should be understood that multiple acquisition devices perform image acquisition for the same target object, and it can be said that the multiple collection devices perform collaborative acquisition. Collaborative collection can be the self-contained function of each collection device, or it can be in the form of an application (English: Application, abbreviation: APP). Multiple collection devices use the same APP for collaborative collection. When the collaborative collection function on the collection device is enabled, it indicates that the collection device can participate in collaborative collection. The collection device can also be recognized by other collection devices, and can send or receive corresponding instructions to each other. When the acquisition function is off, the collection device cannot perform collaborative acquisition. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the master device may send a coordinated collection instruction to the multiple collection devices, where the coordinated acquisition instruction may include the target object to be collected and the start time of the collaborative collection, or the master device and multiple collections. Equipment Use the same APP to collaborate to achieve collaborative acquisition.

It should also be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the master device may be a device that controls multiple collection devices to perform collaborative collection, and the master device may also be a device that has both an image acquisition function and an image processing function. When the main device has both the image acquisition function and the image processing function, when the image is collected on the target object, the master device can also perform collaborative acquisition with the determined plurality of other target acquisition devices, and after the acquisition is completed, the image mosaic processing is performed.

In addition, the location of the primary device can be either in the cloud or locally.

In addition, the collection location of the plurality of collection devices and the location of the target object may be a Global Positioning System (GPS) location, a location described by latitude and longitude, or may be described in other forms. position.

S102: The master device sends a coordinated collection instruction to the first collection device and the second collection device, where the coordinated acquisition instruction is used to instruct the first collection device and the second collection device to perform image collection on the target object.

The cooperative acquisition instruction may include at least one of an acquisition time, an acquisition location, and an acquisition angle indicating that the first collection device and the second collection device perform image acquisition. The acquisition time may be the start time of image acquisition.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the master device determines that the first collection device and the second collection device are determined from the plurality of collection devices, and the steps performed by the first collection device and the second collection device are similar, and for the sake of brevity, the following relates to The steps of execution of the first collection device and the second collection device are described with only the first collection device as an example.

S103. The first collection device performs image collection on the target object according to the collaborative collection instruction to obtain a first target image.

At the same time, the second collecting device performs image acquisition on the target object according to the cooperative acquisition instruction to obtain a second target image (corresponding to step 104 in FIG. 1).

It should be noted that the first target image and the second target image may be images acquired by the image capturing device, or may be images obtained by performing image extraction on the video. In addition, the method for acquiring an image provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be applicable to synthesizing a panoramic image, and is also applicable to synthesizing a panoramic video.

S105. The first collection device sends the first target image to the primary device.

Similarly, the second acquisition device transmits the second target image to the host device (which may correspond to step 106 in FIG. 1).

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first collecting device and the second collecting device may automatically upload the collected first target image and the second target image to the main device after the collecting is completed.

In addition, after the image collection is completed, the master device sends an image uploading instruction to the first collecting device and the second collecting device to instruct the first collecting device and the second collecting device to upload the captured image. After receiving the image uploading instruction, the first collecting device and the second collecting device upload the first target image and the second target image to the master device.

It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention provides an image (ie, a first target image) and an image (ie, a second target image) that are collected by the second collection device as an example. The method of collecting images is explained. Obviously, the first collecting device and the second collecting device may also collect and obtain a plurality of target images, and send the multiple target collecting devices to the main device, the cloud processing device, or the image splicing collecting device after the collecting is completed, so as to facilitate The master device, the cloud processing device, or the image splicing acquisition device selects at least two images having overlapping portions from the plurality of target images, and performs splicing processing on the at least two images to obtain a panoramic image of the target object.

S107. The master device receives the first target image sent by the first acquiring device, receives the second target image sent by the second collecting device, and performs splicing processing on the first target image and the second target image.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the image splicing may also be one of the at least two target collection devices. For example, the master device sends a cooperative acquisition command to the collection device A and the collection device B, and the collection device A and the collection device B perform image acquisition on the target object according to the cooperative acquisition instruction, and respectively obtain the image a and the image b. After the acquisition is completed, the collection device B sends the image b to the collection device A, and the collection device A performs the splicing process on the image a and the image b.

In addition, the master device may also be one of the at least two target acquisition devices. For example, the master device is the collection device A, the collection device A sends the collaborative collection command to the collection device B, the collection device B performs the collaborative collection of the target object according to the coordinated collection instruction and the collection device A, and the collection device A and the collection device B respectively acquire the image. a and image b. After the collection is completed, the collection device B sends the acquired image b to the collection device A, and the collection device A performs splicing processing on the image a and the image b.

Optionally, as an embodiment, when the master device performs image stitching processing, the third target image may also be acquired from the network, where the third target image and the second target image have overlapping portions. In this way, the master device may perform splicing processing on the first target image and the second target image sent by the first collecting device and the second collecting device, or may replace the first target with the third target image obtained from the network. The target image is spliced to the second target image and the third target image to obtain a panoramic image of the target object.

It should be understood that only the first target image is replaced with the third target image as an example. The master device may also replace the second target image with the third target image, and perform splicing processing on the first target image and the third target image. At this time, the third target device and the first target image have overlapping portions. Alternatively, the master device may acquire the third target image and the fourth target image from the network, and perform splicing processing on the third target image and the fourth target image to generate a panoramic image of the target object. At this time, the third target device And the fourth target image has an overlapping portion.

It should also be understood that the master device obtains one image from the network, and may obtain one or multiple, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present invention.

That is to say, the master device can use the image sent by the target collection device as a splicing process, or can obtain the image of the target object from the network for splicing processing, and can replace some or all of the objects collected by the target collection device with the image acquired from the network. The image is stitched.

Specifically, when the target acquisition device selected by the master device causes the final captured image to be used for image stitching due to an indeterminate reason, the master device may select an image that can be replaced from other devices that have been acquired and uploaded to the network image. (ie, the third target image) is spliced.

For example, the acquisition location or the acquisition angle of the acquisition device A (for example, an example of the first collection device) may be deviated, or the image a and the collection device B collected by the device A may be collected (for example, may be an example of the second collection device). When the acquired image b does not have an overlapping portion and the image a (ie, an example of the first target image) and the image b (ie, an example of the second target image) cannot be stitched to obtain a panoramic image of the target object, the master device An image d (ie, an example of a third target image) that can be used for splicing can be selected from the network instead of the image a, and the image d and the image b can be spliced to obtain a panoramic image of the target object, and the image d is selected. In the process, the master device needs to determine that there is an overlap between the image d and the image b.

Optionally, as an embodiment, the image processing may also be a cloud device. In this case, the first collection device proceeds to step 108 after step 103. Similarly, the second collection device proceeds to step 109 after step 104.

S108. The first collection device sends the first target image to the cloud processing device.

At the same time, the second collecting device sends the second target image to the cloud processing device.

Specifically, the first collection device and the second collection device may automatically upload the collected image to the cloud processing device after the acquisition is completed, or may receive an image upload instruction of the master device. After that, the collected image is uploaded to the cloud processing device.

S110. The cloud processing device receives the first target image sent by the first collecting device, receives the second target image sent by the second collecting device, and performs splicing processing on the first target image and the second target image.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the master device may determine whether the at least two target collection devices are already in the collection position before sending the coordinated collection instruction to the at least two target collection devices, if the at least two target acquisition devices are in the collection device One or more acquisition devices are not in the corresponding collection location, and the primary device can re-determine the target collection device. The process of re-determining the target collection device is the same as the process of determining the target collection device (for example, determining the first collection device and the second collection device) provided in the foregoing embodiments. For brevity, details are not described herein again.
