Fast image sequencing method

Abstract

The present invention proposes a fast image sequencing method, which comprises steps: defining a motion path merely via picking up a plurality of pieces of captured image information and the sequence of thereof; searching a database for the exemplary images within a specified distance from a first piece of captured image positioning information in the motion path; picking up a next piece of captured image positioning information and searching for exemplary images until none next piece of captured image positioning information is found; sending back the selected exemplary images to a user's device and presenting the exemplary images in a periphery of the sequence of the captured images. Thereby, the user can view the images and interpolate the exemplary images into the sequence of the captured images. The present invention can search for images and send back the selected images for edition merely using the capture image information.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates to an image processing method, particularly to a fast image sequencing method, which can search external devices for images and send back the images to the user's device for assisting in personal image edition.Description of the Related Art[0002]With continuous evolution of science and technology, electronic devices with a photographing function are growing more and more popular. Even a common communication device has a built-in camera. Besides, most of the current camera devices have a positioning function. While the user takes photographs, the sites of photographing are also recorded. While the user reviews the photographs taken in tours, he may also learn the photographing sites recorded by the built-in positioning function.[0003]After tours, a user may arrange and sort the photographs taken in his tours and integrates these photographs into a video functioning as a documentary film of his tours....

Benefits of technology

[0005]The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a fast image sequencing method, which is exempted from picking up contents of images but merely picks up a plurality of pieces of the Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) information of captured images and the sequence information of the captured images from the user's device, and which searches external databases for related images to enrich a personally-made video. The present invention can save the user a lot of time spent in complicated image edition. The EXIF information used by the present invention has a smaller file size. Therefore, the present invention can reduce the amount of information transmission and prevent from leakage of user's personal images.

[0007]In order to achieve the abovementioned objectives, the present invention proposes a fast image sequencing method, which comprises steps: picking up a plurality of pieces of captured image information of a plurality of captured images and a sequence of the plurality of pieces of the captured image information from a device; defining a motion path according to the sequence information of the plurality of pieces of the captured image information; picking up a first piece of captured image information in the motion path; determining whether the captured image information has a piece of captured image positioning information; if no, picking up the next piece of captured image information, and returning to the step of determining whether the captured image information has a piece of captured image positioning information; if yes, picking up the piece of captured image positioning information, and proceeding to the next step; searching a database to determine whether there is at least one exemplary image within a specified distance from the captured image positioning information; if no, picking up the next piece of captured image information, and returning to the step of determining whether the captured image information has a piece of captured image positioning information; if yes, picking up the exemplary image, and arranging the exemplary image to be adjacent to the captured image information, and then proceeding to the next step; determining whether there is a next piece of captured image information; if yes, picking up the next piece of captured image information, and returning to the step of determining whether the captured image information has a piece of captured image positioning information; if no, sending back the exemplary images and the sequence information of the exemplary images and the captured image information to the device. The exemplary images are presented in the periphery of the captured images on the display interface of the device. The user visually checks the captured images and the exemplary images, interpolates the selected exemplary images into the corresponding captured images, and then fabricates the sequence of captured images and exemplary images into an integrated video. Therefore, the present invention needn't output the graphic contents of the captured images. The present invention can search external devices and send back the selected images for edition merely using the captured image information and the captured image positioning information. The present invention can increase the speed of editing images and enrich the contents of images. Further, the present invention can prevent from leakage of personal images.

Problems solved by technology

However, manually searching for external images or manually editing the images from the user's device and external devices is very time-consuming.

Undertaking precise search and comparison in a small touchscreen is a challenge for the user.

The normal process thereof includes downloading external files, sequencing the images according to time, sites, file names, or specified marks, and then selecting the images, which is a troublesome matter for the user of a handheld device.
