Embodiment 1

[0067] refer to figure 1 , a flow chart of the image capturing method provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention is given.

[0068] Step 101, determine the shooting area.

[0069] The shooting function of the mobile terminal is started, so that the camera in the mobile terminal enters a real-time viewing state, so that the shooting area of ​​the mobile terminal can be determined. At this time, it is also possible to focus on the shooting area, which can be automatic focus or manual focus, such as clicking a certain area of ​​the mobile terminal screen to perform area focus, etc., which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0070] Step 102, selecting a prominent area in the shooting area, and processing images in the shooting area according to the prominent area.

[0071] When blurring the image in the shooting area, the blurring can be performed by area, so the prominent area must be determined in the shooting area first. The embodiment of the ...

Embodiment 2

[0078] In the actual processing, the embodiment of the present invention also provides the following optimal technical solution, which can directly capture the blurred image, thereby simplifying the image processing operation of the user in the later stage.

[0079] refer to figure 2 , a flow chart of the first preferred method in the image capturing method provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention is given.

[0080] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, after the shooting area is determined in the above step 101, the method further includes: performing regional focusing on the image in the shooting area; The method for the area includes: selecting a prominent area according to the clear area formed in the shooting area by the area focus. Thus the processing steps are as follows:

[0081] Step 201, determine the shooting area.

[0082] Step 202, perform regional focusing on images in the shooting region.

[0083] In actual processing, after the shoot...

Embodiment 3

[0134] The above-mentioned embodiment provides a method for capturing an image, which can directly capture a blurred photo, which will be discussed in detail below in conjunction with the embodiment.

[0135] refer to Figure 4 , which shows the first schematic diagram of the image capturing method provided by Embodiment 3 of the present invention.

[0136] a. Open the terminal and prepare to take pictures.

[0137] At this moment, the terminal enters the real-time viewing state, so that the shooting area can be selected. At this point, you can click a certain area in the shooting area, and the terminal can focus on this area, such as Figure 4 (a) shown.

[0138] b. Touch the screen with two fingers to select the highlighted area.

[0139] Receive the highlighted area formed by two fingers. Such as Figure 4 (b) Delineate the initial prominent area according to the curve shown in (b), and then move from 1 to 2 according to the indication. Among them, 1 and 2 must overla...

Abstract

An embodiment of the invention provides a method and a terminal for shooting images. The method includes determining a shooting area; selecting a highlighted area in the shooting area, and performing blurring processing on images shot on the shooting area according to the highlighted area; shooting the shooting area and processing shot images according to the blurring processing on the images shot on the shooting area. The method and the terminal have the advantages that the highlighted area which is selected in a touch manner is determined in the shooting area after a shooting function is started and the shooting area is determined by means of focusing, and image processing is performed on the highlighted area and can be carried out before shooting, so that photos which are processed and then are shot can be acquired instantly after the shooting area is shot; a user can shoot the processed photos instantly, complicated and troublesome operation for shooting photos and then processing the photos is omitted, time is saved, and the shooting efficiency is improved; the photos can be previewed in real time during shooting, an effect of what-you-see-is-what-you-get can be realized, and photos can be shot again if the user is not satisfied with the photos.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to image capturing technologies, and in particular, relate to an image capturing method and a terminal. Background technique [0002] At present, most mobile terminals have a camera function, and users can use the mobile terminal to take pictures anytime and anywhere, and can also upload the pictures taken to the Internet at any time. [0003] After the user uses the mobile terminal to take photos, he often also processes the photos to make the photos more in line with personalized requirements. The current photo processing method is usually that the user takes a photo first, and after the shooting is completed, the user uses image processing software to do special effect processing on the photo taken. [0004] However, the above photo processing method is cumbersome, inconvenient to use and wastes time. For example, when a user logs in to a social network, he can upload a photo at any time. When uploading,...
