Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of image processing technology, and in particular to an image stitching method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the development of internet technology, more and more users are posting pictures online. When there are a large number of pictures to post, users often choose to stitch multiple pictures together to create a collage, which they then post. In related technologies, users first select multiple pictures to be stitched in the image selection interface, and then choose a collage template in the image stitching interface. Based on the pictures to be stitched and the collage template, the collage is generated.

[0003] However, in the above method, if the user needs to change the number of images to be stitched, they need to go to the image selection interface to select images. This method is inflexible, resulting in high operation costs for image stitching and affecting the efficiency of image stitching. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides an image stitching method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium, which can save on the operational costs of image stitching and improve the efficiency of image stitching. The technical solution of this application is as follows:

[0005] According to a first aspect of the embodiments of this application, an image stitching method is provided, the method comprising:

[0006] The image stitching interface includes a stitching preview area, an image selection area, and a template selection area. The stitching preview area is used to preview the stitching, the image selection area is used to display multiple images in the target storage space, and the template selection area is used to display multiple sets of stitching templates. Each set of stitching templates corresponds to a different number of images, and each set of stitching templates includes at least one stitching template.

[0007] In response to the selection of at least one image in the image selection area, determine the images to be stitched together;

[0008] Based on the images to be pieced together and the first puzzle template, the first puzzle piece is displayed in the puzzle preview area. This first puzzle template is the first puzzle template that matches the number of images to be pieced together among multiple puzzle templates.

[0009] In the above method, users can select images in the image selection area of ​​the image stitching interface. When users need to change the number of images to be stitched, they no longer need to jump back and forth. It can flexibly adapt to the stitching needs of different numbers of images, thereby saving operating costs and improving the efficiency of image stitching.

[0010] In one possible implementation, after displaying the image stitching interface, the method further includes:

[0011] In response to a swipe gesture on the image selection area, the images displayed in the image selection area are switched.

[0012] In the above method, users can browse images in the target storage space by sliding the selected area of ​​the image. This allows them to select images without leaving the image stitching interface, saving users' operational costs and improving the efficiency of image stitching.

[0013] In one possible implementation, after displaying the first puzzle piece in the puzzle preview area based on the image to be pieced together and the first puzzle template, the method further includes:

[0014] In response to a drag operation on any image in the image selection area, if the endpoint of the drag operation is located in the first puzzle, the existing image at the target position of the first puzzle is replaced with the image corresponding to the drag operation.

[0015] In the above method, the image at the target position of the first puzzle piece can be replaced by dragging. Users do not need to manually deselect the image first and then manually click to select a new image to replace it. The operation is more flexible and can save users' operation costs.

[0016] In one possible implementation, after determining the images to be stitched in response to a selection operation of at least one image in the image selection area, the method further includes:

[0017] In response to a click on the second puzzle template, a second number of images matching the second puzzle template is determined, and a target number is determined based on the first and second numbers.

[0018] If the first quantity is greater than or equal to the second quantity, determine the first image of the target quantity from the images to be stitched, delete the first image of the target quantity from the images to be stitched, and obtain the updated images to be stitched.

[0019] If the first quantity is less than the second quantity, determine the target quantity of the second image from the target storage space, add the target quantity of the second image as the image to be stitched, and obtain the updated image to be stitched.

[0020] Based on the updated image to be pieced together and the second puzzle template, the second puzzle piece is displayed in the puzzle preview area.

[0021] The above method can automatically update the images to be stitched based on the user-selected puzzle template, and display the puzzle in the puzzle preview area based on the updated images to be stitched. This can reduce the user's selection of images and improve the efficiency of image stitching.

[0022] In one possible implementation, determining the target number of first images from the images to be stitched includes:

[0023] Based on the selection order of the images to be stitched, determine the first image in the previous target quantity.

[0024] In the above method, the images with the highest selection order are designated as the first images. Generally, users prefer to stitch together images with lower selection order. Therefore, after deleting the images with higher selection order from the images to be stitched, the likelihood of users reselecting the deleted images is relatively small, which can improve the effectiveness of updating the images to be stitched.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the second image used to determine the target number from the target storage space includes at least one of the following:

[0026] Based on the order of the images to be stitched in the target storage space, the number of images adjacent to the images to be stitched are determined as the second images;

[0027] Based on image attribute conditions, determine the target number of second images from the target storage space. The image attribute conditions refer to the second images having the target image attributes.

[0028] Based on the image date condition, a target number of second images are determined from the target storage space. The image date condition refers to the image date of the second images falling within the target time period.

[0029] In the above method, adding images adjacent to the image to be stitched as the images to be stitched can quickly determine the second image from the target storage space without consuming too many computing resources; adding images with the attributes of the target image as the images to be stitched can make the newly added images match the user's stitching preferences, reduce the user's manual selection of newly added images, and improve the efficiency of image stitching; adding images whose dates are within the target time period as the images to be stitched can reduce the probability of newly added images and images that have already been stitched, and improve the effectiveness of updating the images to be stitched.

[0030] In one possible implementation, the method further includes:

[0031] Displays an image selection interface, which is used to display multiple images in the target storage space;

[0032] In response to the selection of at least one image in the image selection interface, the image editing interface is displayed;

[0033] The image stitching interface includes:

[0034] When the collage function in the image editing interface is triggered, the image collage interface is displayed.

[0035] In the above method, after the user selects the images to be stitched from the image selection interface, they can edit the images in the image editing interface and then stitch the edited images together. This can meet the user's editing needs for the stitched images and improve the quality of the stitching.

[0036] In one possible implementation, the method further includes:

[0037] Displays the application's functional interface, which includes a jigsaw puzzle control;

[0038] In response to a click on the puzzle control, the image selection interface is displayed;

[0039] The image stitching interface includes:

[0040] In response to the selection of at least one image in the image selection interface, the image stitching interface is displayed.

[0041] In the above method, users trigger the jigsaw puzzle function by clicking the jigsaw puzzle control on the application's function interface. After selecting an image from the image selection interface, they can directly jump to the image stitching interface to stitch the images together, thus saving the transition time from image selection to jigsaw puzzle stitching and improving the efficiency of image stitching.

[0091] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0092] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of methods and systems consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0093] In this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used to distinguish identical or similar items that have essentially the same function. It should be understood that there is no logical or temporal dependency between "first," "second," and "nth," nor does it limit the quantity or execution order. It should also be understood that although the following description uses the terms "first," "second," etc., to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by the terms.

[0094] These terms are simply used to distinguish one element from another. For example, without departing from the scope of various examples, the first puzzle template can be called the second puzzle template, and similarly, the second puzzle template can be called the first puzzle template.

[0095] "At least one" refers to one or more. For example, at least one jigsaw puzzle template can be one jigsaw puzzle template, two jigsaw puzzle templates, three jigsaw puzzle templates, or any integer number of jigsaw puzzle templates greater than or equal to one. "Multiple" means two or more images. For example, multiple images can be two images, three images, or any integer number of images greater than or equal to two.

[0096] It should be noted that all information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.), data (including but not limited to data used for analysis, stored data, displayed data, etc.), and signals involved in this application have been authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties, and the collection, use, and processing of related data must comply with the relevant laws, regulations, and standards of the relevant countries and regions. For example, the images in the target storage space involved in this application were obtained with full authorization.

[0097] The implementation environment of the embodiments of this application is described below.

[0098] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the implementation environment of an image stitching method provided in this application embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the implementation environment includes a terminal 101 and a server 102. The terminal 101 can connect to the server 102 via a wireless network or a wired network.

[0099] Terminal 101 can be at least one of the following devices: smartphone, smartwatch, desktop computer, laptop, virtual reality terminal, augmented reality terminal, wireless terminal, and laptop computer. Terminal 101 has communication functions and can access the Internet. Terminal 101 can refer to one of multiple terminals; this embodiment only uses terminal 101 as an example. Those skilled in the art will understand that the number of terminals can be more or less. Indicatively, terminal 101 runs an application that provides a jigsaw puzzle function. Users logged into the application can use it to stitch multiple images in a target storage space to create a jigsaw puzzle, and then save, edit, publish, or set the puzzle as a video cover, etc. This application can be a short video application, a social application, a conferencing application, an image processing application, etc., and is not limited thereto.

[0100] Server 102 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster consisting of multiple physical servers, or a distributed file system. It can also be a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (CDNs), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. Server 102 provides background services for applications running on terminal 101. For example, server 102 can provide object account login and image publishing services for applications running on terminal 101, etc.

[0101] In some embodiments, the wired or wireless network uses standard communication technologies and / or protocols. The network is typically the Internet, but can be any network, including but not limited to LAN (Local Area Network), MAN (Metropolitan Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network), mobile, wired or wireless networks, private networks, or any combination of virtual private networks. In some embodiments, technologies and / or formats including HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), XML (Extensible Markup Language), etc., are used to represent data exchanged over the network. Furthermore, conventional encryption technologies such as SSL (Secure Socket Layer), TLS (Transport Layer Security), VPN (Virtual Private Network), and IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) can be used to encrypt all or some links. In other embodiments, custom and / or dedicated data communication technologies can be used to replace or supplement the aforementioned data communication technologies.

[0102] The above describes the implementation environment of an image stitching method provided by the embodiments of this application. The following describes the process of the image stitching method provided by the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of an image stitching method provided in an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method is executed by the aforementioned terminal and includes the following steps 201 to 203.

[0103] In step 201, the terminal displays an image stitching interface, which includes a stitching preview area, an image selection area, and a template selection area.

[0104] The puzzle preview area is used to preview the puzzle. The image selection area displays multiple images from the target storage space, which refers to the user-authorized local storage space (i.e., the terminal's storage space) or user-authorized cloud storage space. The template selection area displays multiple puzzle templates, each corresponding to a different number of images, and each set includes at least one puzzle template. For example, the template selection area displays four puzzle templates, each used to stitch together a fixed number of images, with the sets corresponding to 2, 3, 4, and 5 images respectively. Each set includes five puzzle templates, providing five different layouts for stitching the corresponding number of images. Each puzzle template includes at least one position box, indicating the position of each image to be stitched within the puzzle based on that template. The number of position boxes in a puzzle template matches the number of images to be stitched.

[0105] The terminal responds to the target application's collage function being triggered by displaying an image stitching interface. The target application is an application running on the terminal that provides the collage function. This target application can be a short video application, a social media application, a conferencing application, an image processing application, etc., and is not limited thereto. The collage function refers to the ability to stitch images together.

[0106] Depending on the different settings of different applications, the target application can display the image stitching interface in two different ways.

[0107] In the first implementation, the process of the terminal displaying the image stitching interface in response to the target application's collage function includes: displaying an image selection interface for displaying multiple images in the target storage space; displaying an image editing interface in response to the selection of at least one image in the image selection interface; and displaying the image stitching interface in response to a click operation on the collage function space of the image editing interface.

[0108] In the second implementation, the process of the terminal displaying the image stitching interface in response to the target application's jigsaw puzzle function being triggered includes: displaying the application's function interface, which includes a jigsaw puzzle function control; displaying an image selection interface in response to a click operation on the jigsaw puzzle function control; and displaying the image stitching interface in response to the selection operation of at least one image in the image selection interface.

[0109] It should be noted that the above two methods are merely exemplary descriptions of how the target application displays the image stitching interface. The implementation method of the target application displaying the image stitching interface can be determined according to the actual settings of the application, and this application embodiment does not limit it in this regard.

[0110] In step 202, the terminal responds to the selection operation of at least one image in the image selection area and determines the images to be stitched together.

[0111] The images to be stitched together refer to at least one image obtained by selecting images in the image selection interface and selecting images in the image selection area.

[0112] In step 203, the terminal displays the first puzzle in the puzzle preview area based on the images to be pieced together and the first puzzle template. The first puzzle template is a puzzle template that matches the first number of images to be pieced together among multiple puzzle templates.

[0113] The first quantity refers to the number of images to be stitched together, which can include the number of images selected in the image selection interface and the number of images selected in the image selection area. The first mosaic refers to the mosaic obtained by stitching together the images to be stitched together.

[0114] The terminal can display a first jigsaw puzzle in the puzzle preview area based on the selection order of the images to be stitched, using a first puzzle template. This process includes: obtaining the selection order of the images to be stitched; determining the images corresponding to each position box in the first puzzle template based on the selection order; and arranging the images to be stitched in their corresponding positions based on the position boxes to obtain the first puzzle. Alternatively, the terminal can randomly arrange the images to be stitched in the positions corresponding to the position boxes; this embodiment does not limit this approach.

[0115] Using the above method, images can be selected from the image selection area in the image stitching interface. When users need to change the number of images to be stitched, they no longer need to jump back and forth, which can flexibly adapt to the stitching needs of different numbers of images, thereby saving operating costs and improving the efficiency of image stitching.

[0116] The above Figure 2 The diagram shown is only the basic process of this application. The solution provided in this application will be further elaborated below. Figure 3 This is a flowchart of an image stitching method provided in an embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the method is executed by the aforementioned terminal and includes the following steps 301 to 308.

[0117] In step 301, the terminal responds to the target application's puzzle function being triggered by displaying an image puzzle interface, which includes a puzzle preview area, an image selection area, and a template selection area.

[0118] The system can display multiple images in the target storage space based on their arrangement within the target storage space. For example, if the images are arranged in reverse chronological order by date, the images displayed in the selection area will be recently taken or saved. Alternatively, based on the selection of images in the image selection interface, multiple images adjacent to the selected image can be displayed in the selection area according to their order in the target storage space. The images displayed in the selection area can be arranged in rows or columns, and multiple rows or columns can be displayed without affecting the visual appeal. The arrangement of the various puzzle templates in the template selection area is similar and will not be described further.

[0119] It should be noted that the above descriptions of the images displayed in the image selection area, the arrangement of the images in the image selection area, and the arrangement of the jigsaw puzzle templates in the template selection area are merely exemplary and can be set according to actual needs. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0120] The positions of the puzzle preview area, image selection area, and template selection area within the image stitching interface can be customized according to the user's operating habits. For example, if the terminal detects that the user is right-handed, the puzzle preview area can be placed on the left side of the image stitching interface, while the image selection area and template selection area can be placed on the right side. This allows the user to easily select images and templates without affecting the puzzle preview. Alternatively, the user can adjust the position of each area on the interface by sliding the puzzle preview area, image selection area, and template selection area. Furthermore, the image stitching interface may include a display control; clicking this control shows or hides the image selection area. In some embodiments, the image selection area is a page that floats on the image stitching interface. This application does not limit the positional relationship between the various areas within the image stitching interface.

[0121] In some embodiments, when the terminal displays the image stitching interface, it displays a mosaic of the selected images in the mosaic preview area of ​​the image stitching interface based on the images selected in the image selection interface.

[0122] In step 302, the terminal responds to the swipe operation on the image selection area by switching the images displayed in the image selection area.

[0123] The sliding operation on the image selection area corresponds to the arrangement of the images within that area. For example, if the images are arranged in rows, the sliding operation is a left-right swipe; if they are arranged in columns, the sliding operation is a up-down swipe. In response to the sliding operation, the terminal switches the images displayed in the image selection area based on their display order.

[0124] Based on step 302 above, users can browse images in the target storage space by sliding the image selection area. This allows them to select images without leaving the image stitching interface, saving users' operational costs and improving the efficiency of image stitching.

[0125] In step 303, the terminal responds to the selection operation of at least one image in the image selection area and determines the images to be stitched together.

[0126] The same applies to steps 303 and 202 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0127] In step 304, the terminal displays a first puzzle in the puzzle preview area based on the images to be pieced together and the first puzzle template. The first puzzle template is a puzzle template that matches the first number of images to be pieced together among multiple puzzle templates.

[0128] The process of determining the first jigsaw puzzle template includes: determining a first number of images to be pieced together; determining a set of jigsaw puzzle templates corresponding to the first number of images to be pieced together; and determining a first jigsaw puzzle template that matches the first number from the set of jigsaw puzzle templates.

[0129] The first puzzle template that matches the first quantity is determined from the set of puzzle templates, including the following two cases:

[0130] When there is only one puzzle template in each group, the first puzzle template is the one corresponding to the first quantity of images to be pieced together. In this method, since there is only one puzzle template in each group, there is only one puzzle template that matches the first quantity of images to be pieced together. With the number of images to be pieced together remaining constant, users do not need to select puzzle templates multiple times to determine the best one, saving them operational costs. Furthermore, one number of images to be pieced together corresponds to only one puzzle template, which helps save development costs.

[0131] In cases where there are multiple puzzle templates in each group, the puzzle template with the highest number of uses by the user is determined based on the user's historical puzzle-solving process. The puzzle template with the highest number of uses that matches the first quantity is then designated as the first puzzle template. Alternatively, based on the usage of puzzle templates by all users, the puzzle template with the highest number of users in each group can be determined, and the puzzle template with the highest number of users that matches the first quantity is designated as the first puzzle template. This embodiment does not limit this approach. In the above method, the puzzle template with the highest number of uses among the multiple puzzle templates corresponding to the first quantity is determined as the default puzzle template for the images to be pieced together. This makes the puzzle template determined by the terminal based on the number of images to be pieced together more in line with the user's puzzle-solving preferences. With the number of images to be pieced together remaining constant, this effectively reduces the user's operation of selecting puzzle templates, thereby improving the efficiency of image pieced together.

[0132] Steps 301 to 304 above describe the process of stitching selected images together to obtain a jigsaw puzzle. Further, in some embodiments, the user replaces a selected image by dragging any image within the image selection area; this process includes step 305 below.

[0133] In step 305, in response to a drag operation on any image in the image selection area, if the endpoint of the drag operation is located in the first puzzle, the image already existing at the target position of the first puzzle is replaced with the image corresponding to the drag operation.

[0134] The terminal determines whether the endpoint of the drag operation is located within the first puzzle piece by detecting the endpoint of the drag operation. The target position refers to any position of the first puzzle piece displayed in the puzzle preview area.

[0135] Through step 305 above, the image at the target position of the first puzzle piece can be replaced by dragging. Users do not need to manually deselect the image first and then manually click to select a new image to replace it. The operation is more flexible and can save users' operating costs.

[0136] Steps 301 to 304 described above involve the terminal automatically determining a first jigsaw puzzle template based on the number of images to be stitched together, and then stitching the images together using that template. In this embodiment, the user can also select a jigsaw puzzle template, and the terminal will stitch the images together based on the user-selected template. In some embodiments, steps 306 to 308 are included after steps 301 to 305.

[0137] In step 306, in response to the click operation on the second puzzle template, the terminal determines a second number of images that match the second puzzle template, and determines a target number based on the first number and the second number. The first number refers to the number of images to be pieced together, and the second number refers to the number of images that match the second puzzle template.

[0138] The second puzzle template is any template in each group of puzzle templates. The first quantity can include the number of images selected in the image selection interface and the number of images selected in the image selection area. The target quantity is the difference between the first quantity and the second quantity, which is the difference between the number of images to be pieced together and the number of images that match the second puzzle template.

[0139] In step 307, the terminal updates the image to be stitched based on the first quantity and the second quantity, and obtains the updated image to be stitched.

[0140] It should be understood that the number of images matched by the second jigsaw puzzle template may not match the number of images to be pieced together. The terminal requires this second number of images to display the jigsaw puzzle in the preview area, based on the second template. When the user selects any of the multiple jigsaw puzzle templates, the terminal updates the number of images to be pieced together based on the first and second numbers, ensuring that the updated number of images to be pieced together matches the second number.

[0141] When the first quantity is greater than or equal to the second quantity, and the number of images that can be stitched together based on the second jigsaw puzzle template is less than or equal to the number of images to be stitched, the terminal needs to delete the target number of images from the images to be stitched before stitching can be performed based on the second jigsaw puzzle template. When the first quantity is less than the second quantity, and the number of images required to stitch together based on the second jigsaw puzzle template is greater than the number of images to be stitched, the terminal needs to add the target number of images from the target storage space as the images to be stitched before stitching can be performed based on the second jigsaw puzzle template. The following describes the process of updating the images to be stitched by the terminal in the above two cases.

[0142] In the first scenario: if the first quantity is greater than or equal to the second quantity, the terminal determines the target quantity of the first image from the images to be stitched, deletes the target quantity of the first image from the images to be stitched, and obtains the updated images to be stitched.

[0143] The process by which the terminal determines the target number of first images from the images to be stitched includes: determining the first image of the target number based on the selection order of the images to be stitched. For example, if the images to be stitched are A, B, C, D, and E, and the first number is 5, and the selection order of these 5 images is "1", "2", "3", "4", and "5" respectively, and the number of images matched by the second stitching template is 3 (meaning the second number is 3 and the target number is 2), the terminal determines the first two images in the selection order as the first images, i.e., images A and B are determined as the first images. The terminal then removes images A and B from the images to be stitched, obtaining images C, D, and E, which are the updated images to be stitched. In the above method, the images with the highest selection order are designated as the first images. Generally, users prefer to stitch together images with lower selection order. Therefore, after deleting the images with higher selection order from the images to be stitched, the likelihood of users reselecting the deleted images is relatively small, which can improve the effectiveness of updating the images to be stitched.

[0144] In the second scenario: if the first quantity is less than the second quantity, the terminal determines the target quantity of the second image from the target storage space, adds the target quantity of the second image as the image to be stitched, and obtains the updated image to be stitched.

[0145] The process by which the terminal determines the target number of second images from the target storage space includes at least one of the following three methods.

[0146] Method 1: Based on the order of the images to be stitched in the target storage space, the target number of images adjacent to the image to be stitched are determined as the second image. For example, with a target quantity of 1, and the images to be stitched in the storage space are in the order of "6th", "7th", and "8th", the second image is the image in the target storage space that is in the order of "9th". In the above method, adding images adjacent to the image to be stitched as the second image can quickly determine the second image from the target storage space without consuming too many computing resources.

[0147] Method 2: Based on image attribute conditions, determine the target number of second images from the target storage space. The image attribute conditions refer to the second images having the target image attributes.

[0148] For images in the target storage space, there are corresponding attribute fields that carry the image attributes. The terminal can obtain the image attributes by reading the image attribute fields.

[0149] In some embodiments, the target image attribute is determined based on the image attributes of the images to be stitched together. The process of determining the target image attribute includes: obtaining the image attributes of each image to be stitched together; and identifying the image attribute with the largest number of corresponding images as the target image attribute. For example, among five images to be stitched together, three images have the image attribute "food," one image has the image attribute "landscape," and one image has the image attribute "people." Since the "food" image attribute has the largest number of corresponding images, it is identified as the target image attribute. In the above embodiments, by analyzing the image attributes of each image to be stitched together, it is possible to determine which image attributes the user might have a need for stitching together. This allows newly added images to match the user's stitching preferences, reducing the user's manual selection of newly added images and improving the efficiency of image stitching.

[0150] Method 3: Based on the image date condition, determine the target number of target images from the target storage space. The image date condition refers to the image date of the second image being within the target time period.

[0151] The image date can refer to either the date the image was taken or the date it was saved. The target time period can be a historical period up to the current system time; that is, recently saved images can be identified as the second images. In some embodiments, the target time period can be the period between the time of the last image stitching operation and the current system time. Accordingly, the process by which the terminal determines the target number of second images from the target storage space includes: obtaining the time of the last stitching operation; and, based on the time of the operation and the image dates of each image to be stitched, filtering out the target number of second images from the target storage space whose image dates are after the time of the operation. The second images filtered out by the above method do not include images that have already been stitched, eliminating the need for users to manually filter the added images, reducing user operating costs, improving the effectiveness of updating the images to be stitched, and increasing the efficiency of image stitching.

[0152] It should be noted that the above three methods are merely exemplary descriptions of determining the target number of second images from the target storage space. The second images can also be determined in other ways, such as based on image quality conditions, etc. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0153] In step 308, the terminal displays the second puzzle in the puzzle preview area based on the updated image to be pieced together and the second puzzle template.

[0154] Step 308 is the same as step 304 above, and will not be repeated here.

[0155] In some embodiments, a user can drag any image in the image selection area. If the endpoint of the drag operation is located in the second puzzle, the terminal replaces the existing image at the target position of the second puzzle with the image corresponding to the drag operation. This process is the same as step 305 and will not be described again.

[0156] Through steps 306 to 308 above, the images to be stitched can be automatically updated based on the user-selected jigsaw puzzle template, and the jigsaw puzzle can be displayed in the jigsaw puzzle preview area based on the updated images to be stitched. This can reduce the user's selection of images and improve the efficiency of image stitching.

[0157] In some embodiments, the image stitching method described above is applied to short video applications to create a composite image of multiple images from a work to be published, which can then be used as the cover of that work. The following is based on... Figures 4 to 6 An example is given of the operation process for obtaining the cover of a work based on the above image stitching method in short video applications.

[0158] First, we will introduce the operation process of the terminal responding to the triggering of the image stitching function in short video applications, displaying the image stitching interface. For example... Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of an image selection interface provided in an embodiment of this application. The image selection interface includes an image selection area 401, an image preview area 402, and an interface jump control 403. The image selection area 401 is used to display multiple images in the target storage space, the image preview area 402 is used to preview the selected image, and the interface jump control is used to jump to other interfaces. Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of an image editing interface provided in an embodiment of this application. The image editing interface includes an editing preview area 501 and multiple editing function controls, such as a cover editing function control 502. The editing preview area 501 is used to preview the image to be edited and the edited image. The cover editing function control is used to trigger the collage function and jump to the image collage interface. Clicking on at least one image displayed in the image selection area 401 selects the image, and the selected image is displayed in the image preview area 402. Clicking on the interface jump control 403 allows users to jump from the image selection area 401 to the image editing interface. Figure 4 The image selection interface shown will redirect to the following... Figure 5 The image editing interface is shown. The preview area 501 in the image editing interface displays the image selected in the image selection area 401. Clicking the cover editing function control 502 triggers the cover editing function of the short video application, from which... Figure 5 The image editing interface shown will redirect to the following... Figure 6 The image stitching interface shown in the middle left image.

[0159] The following describes the operation process for image stitching in the image stitching interface. For example... Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of an image stitching interface provided in an embodiment of this application. The image stitching interface includes a stitching preview area 601, an image selection area 602, a template selection area 603, and editing controls 604. Figure 6 As shown in the left-middle image, the image preview area 601 previews the selected image in the image selection interface, the image selection area 602 displays six images from the target storage space, and the template selection area 603 displays multiple sets of jigsaw puzzle templates, each set including one jigsaw puzzle template. Figure 6 As shown in the image, clicking on four images in image selection area 601 selects all four images to be stitched together. The terminal determines the first stitching template based on the number of images (4) and selects it in template selection area 603. The terminal then displays the stitched image of the four images in the stitching preview area based on the four images and the first stitching template. Figure 6 As shown in the right image, clicking on a jigsaw puzzle template that matches five images in the template selection area causes the terminal to select an image adjacent to the images to be stitched from the target storage space as the new image to be stitched. The image to be stitched is then updated. Based on the jigsaw puzzle template that matches the five images, the jigsaw puzzle of five images is displayed in the jigsaw puzzle preview area 601. By clicking on the editing control 604, the image can be selected from... Figure 6 The image stitching interface shown will redirect to the following page: Figure 7 The image editing interface shown allows for further editing of the puzzle.

[0160] The following describes the process of editing the completed puzzle, using the edited puzzle as the cover image, and then publishing the artwork with the puzzle cover image. For example... Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of an image editing interface provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 7 The image editing interface shown is the same as Figure 5 The image editing interface shown can be the same interface, and will not be different. Figure 7 The image editing interface shown will be described in detail below. Clicking the editing control 604 displays the image editing interface on the terminal. The editing preview area 701 in the image editing interface displays the collage. The collage can be edited using the editing function controls, such as adding text, cropping, etc. Clicking the interface jump control 702 allows access to various functions. Figure 7 The image editing interface shown will redirect to the following... Figure 8 The interface for publishing works is shown below. Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8This is a schematic diagram of a work publishing interface provided in an embodiment of this application. On this interface, by clicking the publishing control 801, the jigsaw puzzle is published as the cover image along with the image selected in the image selection interface. Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of a publishing history interface provided in an embodiment of this application, which displays a successfully published work 901 with a jigsaw puzzle cover. Figure 10 As shown, Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of a work playback interface provided in an embodiment of this application. On this work playback interface, the work with the jigsaw puzzle cover can be played.

[0161] Using the methods described above, images can be selected from the image selection area in the image stitching interface. When users need to change the number of images to be stitched, they no longer need to jump back and forth. Furthermore, users can drag images in the image selection area to replace existing images at the target position of the stitching, which can flexibly adapt to the user's stitching needs and save the user's operating costs. In addition, based on the user's selected stitching template, the images to be stitched can be automatically updated, and the stitching can be displayed in the stitching preview area based on the updated images, which can reduce the user's image selection operations and improve the efficiency of image stitching.

Specifically, when the ambient light intensity is high, the display brightness of display screen 1205 is increased; when the ambient light intensity is low, the display brightness of display screen 1205 is decreased. In another embodiment, processor 1201 can also dynamically adjust the shooting parameters of camera assembly 1206 based on the ambient light intensity collected by optical sensor 1213.

[0210] The proximity sensor 1214, also known as a distance sensor, is typically located on the front panel of the terminal 1200. The proximity sensor 1214 is used to detect the distance between the user and the front of the terminal 1200. In one embodiment, when the proximity sensor 1214 detects that the distance between the user and the front of the terminal 1200 is gradually decreasing, the processor 1201 controls the display screen 1205 to switch from a screen-on state to a screen-off state; when the proximity sensor 1214 detects that the distance between the user and the front of the terminal 1200 is gradually increasing, the processor 1201 controls the display screen 1205 to switch from a screen-off state to a screen-on state.

[0211] Those skilled in the art will understand that Figure 12 The structure shown does not constitute a limitation on terminal 1200 and may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or use different component arrangements.
