Description

图像处理方法、设备、装置、图像贴合方法、设备、显示方法、装置及计算机可读介质
本申请要求于2018年04月11日提交的中国专利申请第201810321434.X号的优先权，该中国专利申请的全文通过引用的方式结合于此以作为本申请的一部分。
技术领域
本公开涉及图像处理领域，并且更具体地，涉及一种图像处理方法、装置、图像贴合方法、显示装置以及介质。
背景技术
近来，高清显示器逐渐普及，随着图像的分辨率越来越高，观众的视觉体验不断提升。但是，另一方面，高分辨率图像对处理器的运算速度有很高的要求，并且，在传输的过程中需要占用较多的带宽资源。
对于人眼而言，由于负责观察色彩和细节的视网膜上的视锥细胞浓度不同，使得人眼只能接纳注视区中心的细节，所述注视区对应于人眼相对于注视的图像的角度为5度的视区范围，而对于任何超出注视区范围的事物，人眼都会对这些事物的清晰度进行模糊化处理。可见，人眼的有效观察区近似于圆形。也就是说，对于一幅图像(特别地，高分辨率图像)来说，仅中心圆形区域内的图像是最终被人眼有效捕捉的图像，而该圆形区域外的边缘区域中的图像并未落在人眼有效观察区域内。
然而，当前的图像处理器的输出只能是矩形图像，并且信道中传输的图像也只能是矩形图像。这就使得在现有技术中，在信道中仍然要保证传输矩形图像，而在所传输的矩形图像中，对于用户有效的观察体验来说，只有中心圆形区域内的图像是被有效观察的图像(也被称为有效图像)，而该圆形区域外的边缘区域内的图像是未被有效观察的图像(也被称为无用图像)。所以，信道中传输的矩形图像中的一部分图像(即，边缘区域的图像)一定程度地浪费了信道带宽。

具体实施方式
将参照附图详细描述根据本公开的各个实施例。这里，需要注意的是，在附图中，将相同的附图标记赋予基本上具有相同或类似结构和功能的组成 部分，并且将省略关于它们的重复描述。
为使本公开的实施例的目的、技术方案和优点更加清楚，下面将结合本公开的实施例的附图，对本公开的实施例的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。显然，所描述的实施例是本公开的一部分实施例，而不是全部的实施例。基于所描述的本公开的实施例，本领域普通技术人员在无需创造性劳动的前提下所获得的所有其他实施例，都属于本公开保护的范围。
除非另作定义，此处使用的技术术语或者科学术语应当为本公开所属领域内具有一般技能的人士所理解的通常意义。本公开中使用的“第一”、“第二”以及类似的词语并不表示任何顺序、数量或者重要性，而只是用来区分不同的组成部分。同样，“包括”或者“包含”等类似的词语意指出现该词前面的元件或者物件涵盖出现在该词后面列举的元件或者物件及其等同，而不排除其他元件或者物件。“连接”或者“相连”等类似的词语并非限定于物理的或者机械的连接，而是可以包括电性的连接，不管是直接的还是间接的。“上”、“下”、“左”、“右”等仅用于表示相对位置关系，当被描述对象的绝对位置改变后，则该相对位置关系也可能相应地改变。
在本公开的实施例中，采用渲染引擎来创建、获取并进行图像处理操作。该渲染引擎例如可以是Unity渲染引擎，也可以是其他图像处理工具，本公开不对其做出限制。
例如，渲染引擎所针对的待渲染的显示区域可以是执行渲染的渲染引擎(Renderer)所针对的整个场景(Scene)。
例如，可以由渲染引擎根据构建场景的数据(属性数据Attributes、均衡数据Uniforms、纹理数据Texture，诸如此类)来进行场景(空间、光照、物体，诸如此类)的构建。
例如，渲染引擎可以通过图形处理器的着色器或中央处理器或其它可执行渲染运算的逻辑运算电路执行相关操作指令来进行场景的构建。
在渲染引擎中，布置有多个虚拟相机，可以设置各种参数来使各虚拟相机获得所需的图像，以用于在渲染过程中提供可查看的场景视图。例如正交投影相机、透视投影相机。虚拟相机将拍摄的图像导入渲染引擎，并且设置虚拟相机的参数和调整虚拟相机的角度，以捕获待处理的图像作为输入图像。
在渲染引擎中，为了满足执行所需图像处理目的，可以设计所需的算法， 这些算法可以运行在执行该渲染引擎的处理器中以软件产品的形式实现，或者固化在执行所需图像处理目的硬件电路中。无论以硬件还是软件的方法实现，可以将执行所需图像处理的过程抽象为执行对应图像处理功能的模型，例如可以将划分图像称之为划分模型、可以将拼接图像称之为拼接模型、可以将贴合图像称之为贴合模型，诸如此类。
根据发明人所知，由于人眼的生理结构所致，人眼负责观察色彩和细节的视网膜上的视锥细胞浓度不同，人眼在进行观察时通常只能接纳注视区内的细节，对于超出人眼注视区范围的显示区域，由于人眼产生视觉感受的视锥细胞分布的限制，会因模糊化处理而逐渐降低清晰度。因此，在一幅显示图像中，人眼关注的中心区域的图像(可以是整个图像的中心区域，也可以是人眼注视的局部图像区域的中心区域)是最终可以被人眼有效关注的区域，而未被人眼有效关注的图像，即中心区域外的图像可以被称为无用图像。
因而，为了尽量减少传输无用图像(即，边缘图像)所占用的信道带宽，本公开的实施例提供一种图像处理方法，图1示出了所述图像处理方法的流程图。
在步骤S101中，将输入图像进行区域划分，得到多个子图像。根据本公开实施例，所述子图像的划分可以基于显示装置的显示区域的形状。根据本公开的另一实施例，还可以基于获取的用户在显示区域中的注视点数据来划分所述子图像。
接着，在步骤S102中，将所述多个子图像中的一部分子图像确定为待输出图像。其中，未被确定为待输出图像的子图像将作为舍弃图像被舍弃，即仅需传输待输出图像中的子图像，而无需传输所述舍弃图像。
接着，在步骤S103中，拼接该待输出图像中的各子图像，得到拼接图像。
一般地，由于人眼关注的图像中心区域近似于圆形形状，而信道中所传输的图像一般是矩形形状，因此需要对近似于圆形形状的图像区域进行矩形化处理，以便于传输。考虑到圆形形状的图像边缘一周是曲线型，仅通过移动该圆形图像中各子图像的相对位置和角度偏转并不能够容易地形成矩形图像，所以在本公开的一个实施例中，该待输出图像的形状可以为诸如六边形、八边形等非矩形形状，相对于矩形的待输出图像，这些非矩形图像更近似于 圆形形状。这种非矩形图像的显示也被称为“异形显示(Abnormal Display)”。可以对这样的非矩形图像中的各子图像进行适当地移动，以拼接形成适于信道传输的矩形图像。
在步骤S104中，传输所述拼接图像。由于在步骤S102中仅将一部分子图像确定为待输出图像，并且在步骤S103中，仅基于确定的待输出图像中的各子图像来获得拼接图像，即，传输的拼接图像中仅包括确定为待输出图像的子图像，而将其他的子图像舍弃，不用于传输，从而使得拼接后的拼接图像的尺寸小于输入图像的尺寸。
通过执行根据本公开的实施例的图像处理方法的上述处理步骤，一部分不需要被显示在显示屏上供用户观看的子图像被丢弃，而通过对确定为待输出图像的子图像进行适当的拼接，可以获得适于信道传输且比原始的输入图像尺寸小的拼接图像。因而，相对于传输原始的输入图像而言，将尺寸较小的该拼接图像通过信道进行传输，可以节省信道资源。
根据本公开的一个实施例，还提出了一种图像贴合方法，图14示出了所述图像贴合方法的流程图。
首先，在步骤S201中，接收拼接图像。所述拼接图像可以为根据如上所述的图像处理方法获得的拼接图像。所述拼接图像由待输出图像中的各个子图像拼接得到。
接着，在步骤S202中，从所述拼接图像中提取待输出图像中的各个子图像。然后，在步骤S203中，贴合所述各个子图像，以得到显示图像。根据本公开实施例，所述贴合各子图像是指通过与拼接各子图像得到所述拼接图像的拼接过程相反的操作来获得显示图像。
根据本公开的实施例，所述图像贴合方法还可以包括对于所述待输出图像中的各子图像，计算该子图像的贴合参数；然后基于各子图像的贴合参数来贴合各子图像。
根据本公开的实施例，所述贴合参数可以包括区域占比参数和偏移参数，所述区域占比参数包括子图像相对于显示装置的显示区域的宽度比和高度比，以及所述偏移参数包括子图像在显示区域的起点位置。
根据本公开的实施例，所述贴合各子图像，例如可以包括按照显示装置的显示区域的形状进行贴合。
例如，显示装置的形状和待输出图像的形状相匹配，以便所输出的图像能最有效地被投放到显示屏上。因此，拼接图像在到达显示装置一侧时需要被还原为原始的待输出图像才能在显示屏上完整的显示。由于拼接的过程是从待输出图像变换为拼接图像，而贴合的过程是从拼接图像还原为待输出图像，所以，所述贴合各子图像是指通过与拼接各子图像得到所述拼接图像的拼接过程相反的操作来获得显示图像。
例如，所称的逆向操作可以是指贴合过程对每个子图像位置的调整与拼接过程对相应的子图像位置的调整是相反的。
例如，上述步骤S101至S104可以在渲染引擎中进行，步骤S201至S203可以在显示装置中进行。具体地，所述步骤S201至步骤S203可以由显示装置的驱动集成电路(Driver IC)执行。
为了便于说明根据本公开的图像处理方法以及图像贴合方法的过程，如下提供一些具体实施例。如图2所示，显示了根据本公开的图像处理方法中进行子像素区域划分和拼接待输出图像以形成拼接图像的示意图。
例如，在图2中，左侧的矩形图像是原始的输入图像100，并且该输入图像的尺寸可以为1920*1080。如上述步骤S101，可以将输入图像按照区域分布划分为七个子图像，如图2中左侧图像中的子图像101-107。其中，将图2所示的标号为101-103的各子图像确定为待输出图像，它们组合为一个六边形图像，而其它四个子图像104-107将作为舍弃图像，即不被传输至显示装置。图2中右侧的矩形图像是经过拼接处理得到的拼接图像200，该拼接图像的尺寸为1380*1080。并且通过对比左右两侧的矩形图像，可以发现，将待输出图像中的各个子图像101-103进行拼接以形成拼接图像200的过程可以表示为：将左图中标号为102的子图像相对于标号为101的子图像向左下方平移、并且将左图中标号为103的子图像相对于标号为101的子图像向右上方平移；将移动后的标号为102和103的子图像与未移动的标号为101的子图像组合，从而得到了图2所示的右侧的矩形的拼接图像200。
图2中右侧的拼接图像的尺寸只有左侧矩形图像的尺寸的(1380*1080)/(1920*1080)＝71.875％，即，相比于传输左侧的矩形图像，仅传输右侧的拼接图像可以节省28.125％的传输信道带宽。
根据本公开实施例，将包含子图像101-103的待输出图像(非矩形图像) 进行拼接以形成拼接图像的过程，可以包括对各子图像进行的多种不同的移动路径，并且可以包括平移和旋转等多种移动方式。
在一些实施例中，为了提高算法的执行效率，降低算法的复杂度，可以先确定待输出图像的各子图像中面积最大的子图像，如图2中的子图像101，然后可以将确定的面积最大的子图像固定，相对于所述面积最大的子图像来移动所述各子图像中的其它子图像，如图2中的子图像102和103，来获得拼接后的拼接图像。
例如，各子图像中面积最大的子图像可以包括用户的注视点区域。
例如，拼接过程可以通过模型来实现。因而，可以根据需要，例如使用建模软件预先建立好模型，然后将该模型以文件的形式导入渲染引擎中用于拼接图像。
图3是示出了根据本公开的实施例的图像处理方法中建立完成如图2所示的拼接过程的模型的示意图300。
由于用于显示的图像通常以视频流的形式呈现在显示装置的屏幕上，因而对于该视频流中的每一帧图像都需要重复地进行捕获、拼接处理、传输和显示等操作。在一些实施例中，可以预先建立好模型来完成如图2所示的子图像区域划分和拼接过程。这样，只需要在处理每一帧图像时，调用该模型便可对图像进行即时的拼接，而省去了对于每一帧图像都要重新确定拼接路径的计算量。
建模过程需要向建模软件提供待拼接的各子图像，并且需要对期望输出的拼接图像的尺寸和形状进行预先设置。也就是说，各子图像的形状和尺寸、各子图像之间的相对位置关系都是特定的，期望输出的拼接图像的尺寸和形状也是特定的，因而使得各子图像的移动轨迹也是确定的。
例如，图3所示建立的模型是用于基于图2中的标号为101-103的三个子图像生成所选尺寸的拼接图像。在图2和图3的示例中，该所选尺寸的拼接图像可以是矩形图像。应当了解的是，所选尺寸的图像也可以是其他形状的图像，本公开不对其做出限制。
模型建立好之后，可以导入渲染引擎直接使用。渲染引擎将待输出图像中的各子图像提供给该模型，并获取模型所生成的拼接图像以用于传输至显示装置。
图4是示出了根据本公开的实施例的输出的图2所示拼接图像的示意图400。图4所示的上下两幅视图分别是在渲染引擎中可查看的拼接图像的场景视图Scene 411和游戏视图Game 412，其中Scene视图是3D图像，可以通过调整虚拟相机的角度来从不同视角查看拼接后的图像；而Game视图是该3D图像的平面图像。通过查看Game视图来适当调整拼接图像，以将该二维的拼接图像(矩形图像)在信道中传输。
如前所述，建立模型时，需要提供待拼接的多个子图像。例如，将各子图像以及各子图像的相对位置关系提供给建模软件。
例如，预先确定各子图像的贴合参数，该贴合参数具有以下两个作用：一是用于模型的建立，以便确定各子图像的初始相对位置，基于初始相对位置计算出各子图像的移动轨迹用以形成期望的拼接图像；二是可以用于在显示装置一侧、例如由显示装置将从信道中接收的拼接图像还原为与原始的待输出图像形状相同的显示图像。
下面结合图2具体描述贴合参数的确定。由于贴合参数反映的是原始的待输出图像中各子图像的相对位置关系，可以根据图2中的左侧矩形图像来确定所述贴合参数。具体地说，贴合参数可以包括区域占比参数Scale和偏移参数Offset。将原始的输入图像所在区域称为显示区域(例如可以是原始的输入图像所在的场景)，区域占比参数Scale可以包括子图像相对于显示区域的宽度比和高度比，偏移参数可以包括子图像在显示区域中的具体位置。
例如，可以通过将子图像补齐为最小矩形后、该最小矩形的左下角相对于显示区域的左下角分别在宽度方向和高度方向上的偏移比来确定该子图像的偏移参数。
为了简化计算，在本公开的实施例中，显示区域(即，原始的输入图像)的左下角处的端点被设置为参考点(0,0)。容易理解，选择其它任意位置作为参考点均是可行的。
以图2中的左侧矩形图像为例，对于标号为101的子图像，其区域占比参数Scale＝Vector2(1380/1920,1)，其偏移参数Offset＝Vector2(0,0)；对于标号为102的子图像，其区域占比参数Scale＝Vector2(540/1920,0.5)，其偏移参数Offset＝Vector2(1380/1920,0.5)；对于标号为103的子图像：其区域占比参数Scale＝Vector2(540/1920,0.5)，其偏移参数Offset＝Vector2(1380/1920,0)。这里， Vector2表示二维向量。
对一个建好的模型来说，各待拼接的子图像的形状、尺寸以及它们之间的相对位置关系已经是确定的了，并且各子图像在拼接好的图像中的位置也是确定的，所以在实际操作中，当建立好模型后导入渲染引擎中使用时，渲染引擎可以对每个子图像进行标号，并且将该多个子图像按照其各自的标号并行地提供给模型，而模型可以根据各子图像的标号将其移动到相应的位置，生成期望的拼接图像。
以图2所示的拼接过程为例，可以将待输出的三个子图像依次标号为101-103，如左侧矩形图像所示。由于模型是确定的，所以在拼接后，拼接图像中的各子图像的相对位置也将是确定的。具体地说，如图2的右侧矩形图像所示，在拼接后的图像中，标号为102的子图像被移动到标号为101的子图像的左下方，而标号为103的子图像被移动到标号为101的子图像的左上方。由于各子图像位置关系，无论拼接前还是拼接后，都具备确定性，所以当将各子图像按照标号提供给建立好的模型后，模型也可以快速地将各子图像移动到与之标号对应的位置处，获得期望的拼接图像。
容易理解的是，由于贴合参数可以反映出各子图像的相对位置关系，因而如上所述对各子图像进行标号的操作可以基于各子图像的贴合参数来完成。
图5是示出了根据本公开的实施例的在显示装置上显示的显示图像的示意图500。在渲染引擎输出拼接图像并通过信道将所述拼接图像传输至显示装置一侧后，显示装置接收拼接图像，并可以由显示装置内配置的处理器(例如，驱动电路Driver IC)来执行根据本公开的图像贴合方法的过程(即，将所接收的拼接图像重新还原为原始的待输出图像)，以便在获得用于在显示屏幕上进行显示的显示图像。例如，图5所示的显示图像是对应于图2所示的待输出图像，因而，该显示图像也是六边形图像。
当由显示装置的驱动电路执行根据本公开的图像贴合方法(即，图像还原)的操作时，由于贴合参数包含了各子图像在拼接之前的相对位置关系，因而驱动电路可以基于如前所述确定的各子图像的贴合参数而将各子图像贴合(还原)为原始的待输出图像。
例如，驱动电路也可以基于如前所述的各子图像的标号而将各子图像移 动至与其标号相对应的位置。以图2为例，在原始的待输出图像中，即图2的左侧图像中包含子图像101--103的图像，标号为102的子图像在标号为101的子图像的右上方，并且标号为103的子图像在标号为101的子图像的右下方。通过这种方法，也可以快速地将从信道接收的图像还原为原始的待输出图像。
显示装置的显示屏幕的形状(例如，显示面板的显示区域的形状)与待输出图像的形状是相匹配的。例如图5所示的显示装置的屏幕形状是六边形。当然也可以根据实际情况采用其他的形状，本公开不对其做出限制。
图6示出了根据本公开实施例的另一个图像拼接过程的示意图600，其中，所述待输出图像为八边形图像。
如图6所示，左侧的正方形图像是原始的输入图像601，并且该输入图像的尺寸可以为1000*1000。如上述步骤S101，可以将输入图像按照区域分布划分为九个子图像401-409，其中，将图6所示的标号为401-405的各子图像确定为待输出到显示器的图像，它们组合为一个八边形图像，而其它位于正方形图像边缘的四个子图像是将不被显示器显示的图像。右侧的正方形图像是经过拼接后的拼接图像，该拼接图像的尺寸接近为856*856(空缺一个矩形区域)。并且通过对比左右两侧的矩形图像，可以将标号为401的子图像确定为5个待输出子图像中面积最大的子图像，因而可以将该标号为401的子图像固定不动，只相对于所述面积最大的子图像来移动所述各子图像中的其它子图像。例如，将标号为402的子图像相对于标号为401的子图像向右下方平移、将标号为403的子图像相对于标号为401的子图像向右上方平移、将标号为404的子图像相对于标号为401的子图像向右下方平移、并且将标号为405的子图像相对于标号为401的子图像向左下方平移后，将移动后的标号为402-405的子图像与未移动的标号为401的子图像组合，便得到了图6右侧所示的接近为正方形的拼接图像602。
图6中右侧近似为正方形的图像尺寸只有左侧正方形图像尺寸的73.27％，即，相比于传输左侧的正方形图像，仅传输右侧的拼接图像可以节省26.73％的传输信道带宽。例如，并不是任意的多个输入子图像一定能拼接为期望的矩形图像，所述期望的矩形图像具有期望的尺寸值。所述期望的尺寸值可以由显示屏幕的显示区域来确定。此时，可以输出最接近期望的尺寸 值的矩形图像作为拼接图像，并且该拼接图像的面积与具有期望的尺寸值的矩形图像的面积的比值位于[0,1]之间。例如，可以选择以可达到[0,1]范围内的最大值的方式来获得拼接图像。
例如，输入到模型中各子图像可能无法刚好拼接为期望的矩阵图像，例如，如图6中右侧图像602所示出的，由子图像401-405拼接而成的拼接图像相比于矩形，空缺了如区域410所示的矩形区域。在此种情况下，渲染引擎可以对所述空缺区域410进行填充，从而将所述拼接图像填充为具有期望的尺寸值的矩形图像。例如，渲染引擎可以使用背景色或渐变色等来填充该空缺区域410，本公开不对空缺区域410的填充方式做出限制。
在一些实施例中，对于通过显示装置的驱动电路执行贴合操作的情况，容易理解，由于所填充的空缺区域410最终并不作为显示图像显示在显示装置的显示区域，该空缺区域410将在显示装置的驱动电路的贴合过程(还原过程)中被丢弃，但其却需要在信道中传输，因而，相对于可以刚好拼接为矩形图像的情况，可以节省的带宽略少。
图7是示出了根据图6所示的拼接过程得到的拼接图像的示意图700。图7所示的上下两幅视图分别是在渲染引擎中可查看的拼接图像的Scene视图701和Game视图702，其中Scene视图是3D图像，可以通过调整虚拟相机的角度来从不同视角查看拼接后的图像(接近正方形的图像)；而Game视图是该3D图像的平面图像。通过查看Game视图来适当调整拼接图像，并将该二维的拼接图像相对于期望的矩形图像的空缺区域410进行填充(例如，填充背景色或渐变色等)，最后将填充后的矩形图像在传输信道中传输。
图8是示出了根据本公开的实施例的显示图像的示意图800。其中，图8中所示出的显示图像是基于图6中示出的拼接图像602得到的。当渲染引擎输出填充后的拼接图像并通过信道传输至显示装置一侧时，显示装置内的驱动电路可以将所接收的拼接图像重新还原为原始的待输出图像(即，八边形图像)，以便在显示屏幕的显示区域内进行显示。即，所述显示装置首先从拼接图像602中提取所述待输出图像中的各子图像401-405，然后贴合各子图像，从而得到显示图像。当然，如前所述，在显示装置一侧进行图像还原的过程中，需要将所填充的空缺区域410的图像内容丢弃。
根据本公开实施例，可以基于显示区域的形状，确定所述待输出图像。 例如，可以先获取显示屏幕的显示区域的形状，例如为正方形或长方形，以及所述形状的尺寸。例如，在获取得到所述显示区域的形状为长方形时，可以按照如图2中左侧图像所示的来将输入图像100划分为多个子图像101-107。例如，在获取得到所述显示区域的形状为正方形时，可以按照如图6中左侧图像所示的来将输入图像601划分为多个子图像401-409。
图15示出了根据本公开实施例的图像显示方法的流程图。
首先，在步骤S301中，将输入图像进行区域划分，得到多个子图像。根据本公开实施例，所述子图像的划分可以基于显示装置的显示区域的形状。根据本公开的另一实施例，还可以基于获取的用户在显示区域中的注视点数据来划分所述子图像。
接着，在步骤S302中，将所述多个子图像中的一部分子图像确定为待输出图像。其中，未被确定为待输出图像的子图像将作为舍弃图像被舍弃，即仅需传输待输出图像中的子图像，而无需传输所述舍弃图像。
接着，在步骤S303中，拼接该待输出图像中的各子图像，得到拼接图像，在步骤S304中，传输所述拼接图像，例如，可以将拼接图像传输给显示装置以用于显示。
上述步骤S301-S304的处理与图1中所示出的图像处理方法类似，在此不在赘述。
接着，如图15所示，在步骤S305中，接收拼接图像。所述拼接图像可以为根据如上所述的步骤S303中获得的拼接图像。所述拼接图像由待输出图像中的各个子图像拼接得到。
接着，在步骤S306中，从所述拼接图像中提取待输出图像中的各个子图像。然后，在步骤S307中，贴合所述各子图像，显示贴合得到的显示图像，例如，在显示屏幕上所述贴合得到的显示图像。根据本公开实施例，所述贴合各子图像是指通过与拼接各子图像得到所述拼接图像的拼接过程相反的操作来获得显示图像。
上述步骤S305-S307的处理与图14中所示出的图像贴合方法类似，在此不在赘述。
图9A是示出了根据本公开的实施例的一种图像处理设备的示意图。图9A所示的图像处理设备900可以包括：区域划分单元901、拼接单元902、 以及输出单元903。
具体地，区域划分单元901被配置为将输入图像进行区域划分，得到多个子图像。将所划分的多个子图像中的一部分子图像作为待输出图像，而无需传输输入图像中的待输出图像之外的子图像。例如，该待输出图像的形状可以是六边形、八边形等非矩形的形状，本公开不对其做出限制。并且，考虑到人眼的聚焦特性，可以将该输入图像的中心区域的多个子图像作为待输出的图像，而无需传输该输入图像的边缘区域的子图像，即，在传输的过程中丢弃所述边缘区域的子图像。
拼接单元902被配置为拼接所述待输出图像中的各子图像，得到拼接图像。如前所述，待输出图像可以是非矩形图像，因而需要对该非矩形图像中的各子图像进行适当地移动，以拼接成适于信道传输的矩形图像。
输出单元903，被配置为输出所述拼接图像。其中，由于在对输入图像进行区域划分后丢弃了多个子图像中的至少一个子图像，因而所述拼接图像的尺寸小于所述输入图像的尺寸。
本公开的实施例的图像处理设备900，可以将一部分不需要被显示在显示屏幕上供用户观看的子图像丢弃，并且对待输出的子图像进行适当的拼接，来获得适于信道传输且比原始的输入图像尺寸小的拼接图像。因而，相对于传输原始的输入图像而言，将尺寸较小的该拼接图像通过信道进行传输，可以节省信道资源。
在一些实施例中，所述拼接图像可以是矩形图像。由于该图像处理设备900要在信道上传输的图像需要是矩形图像，所以，通常要求经由拼接单元拼接后的图像也应当是矩形图像。对于该矩形图像的尺寸，可以预先设定，并且优选地，也可以根据待输出图像中的各子图像的形状和尺寸来设定某个最便于拼成矩形的尺寸。
在一些实施例中，所述图像处理设备900还可以包括：填充单元904，被配置为在所述拼接图像为非矩形图像时，对所述拼接图像相对于设定尺寸的矩形的空缺区域进行填充，使其形成具有设定尺寸的矩形图像。在某些时候，所述待输出图像中的各子图像无论怎样移动都无法刚好地拼接为某个所选尺寸的矩形图像，使得拼接后的图像相对于所选尺寸的矩形图像存在空缺区域，此时就需要该填充单元904例如使用背景色或渐变色等方式来填充该 空缺区域，以保证在信道中传输的图像为矩形图像。
在一些实施例中，拼接所述待输出图像中的各子图像，可以包括：确定各子图像中面积最大的子图像，相对于所述面积最大的子图像来移动所述各子图像中的其它子图像。例如，可以固定所述面积最大的子图像，只移动其它的子图像。采用固定面积最大的子图像、而移动其它子图像的方式，可以提高图像拼接程序运行的速度。并且，为了进一步降低算法的复杂度，可以仅对其它子图像进行平移，而没有进行诸如旋转、翻转等较为复杂的移动。应当了解的是，本公开仅是从优化算法的角度而选择平移的移动方式作为本公开的一个示例，而实际上，任何移动方式都是可取的，本公开并不对其做出限制。
图9B示出了根据本公开实施例的图像贴合设备的示意图。如图9B所示出的，图像贴合设备910可以包括接收单元911以及贴合单元912。
所述图像贴合设备910配置成接收根据如上所述的图像处理方法得到的拼接图像，诸如拼接图像200、拼接图像602等。所述贴合单元912配置成从所述拼接图像中提取待输出图像中的各子图像，贴合各子图像，得到显示图像，其中，所述贴合各子图像是指通过与拼接各子图像得到所述拼接图像的拼接过程相反的操作来获得显示图像。
图10是示出了根据本公开的实施例的一种图像处理系统的示意图。如图10所示，该图像处理系统1000可以包括：如前所述的图像处理设备900；以及显示设备1100。其中，显示设备1100用于经由信道接收从图像处理设备900输出的图像，并且用于显示图像。
图11是示出了根据本公开的实施例的图像处理系统中包括的显示设备1100的示意图。如图11所示，显示设备1100可以包括：图像提取单元1101和贴合单元1102。其中，该图像提取单元1101可以被配置为从拼接图像提取所述待输出图像中的各子图像；并且，该贴合单元1102可以被配置为贴合各子图像，得到显示图像。
通常，显示设备中的显示区域的形状和待输出图像的形状相匹配，以便所输出的图像能最有效地被投放到显示屏上。因此，拼接图像在到达显示设备一侧时需要被还原为原始的待输出图像才能最优地在显示屏幕上显示。由于拼接的过程是从待输出图像变换为拼接图像，而贴合的过程是从拼接图像 还原为待输出图像，所以，贴合各子图像可以是拼接待输出图像中的各子图像的逆向操作。
在一些实施例中，其中，所述贴合各子图像可以是基于各子图像的贴合参数进行贴合，所述显示设备1100还可以包括：计算单元1103，该计算单元1103被配置为：对于所述待输出图像中的各子图像，计算该子图像的贴合参数。
该贴合参数可以反映原始的待输出图像中各子图像的相对位置关系。具体地说，贴合参数可以包括区域占比参数Scale和偏移参数Offset。如果将原始的输入图像所在区域称为显示区域，则区域占比参数Scale包括子图像相对于显示区域的宽度比和高度比；并且，偏移参数包括子图像在显示区域中的具体位置，例如可以通过将子图像补齐为最小矩形后、该最小矩形的左下角相对于显示区域的左下角分别在宽度方向和高度方向上的偏移比来确定。为了简化计算，在本公开的实施例中，显示区域(即，原始的输入图像)的左下角处的端点被设置为参考点。应当了解的是，也可以选择其他位置的点作为参考点，本公开不对其做出限制。
如前所述，由于该贴合参数可以反映原始的待输出图像中各子图像的相对位置关系，所以根据计算出的贴合参数，可以将拼接图像还原为原始的待输出图像。
在一些实施例中，所述显示设备1100的显示区域的形状可以是非矩形。
