Solution Overview

Problem

In virtual reality shooting, the first target image shot by electronic equipment often fails to match the virtual background in head-mounted equipment, leading to a poor user experience due to size discrepancies between the two.

Innovation Solution

A shooting calibration method that adjusts the image size parameter of the first target image until it overlaps with the second target image observed through the wearable equipment, using an electronic equipment and a wearable equipment in communication, to obtain a target adjustment parameter for camera calibration, ensuring the image matches regardless of the camera's angle.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If the electronic equipment shoots a target image and removes background to synthesize with virtual background, then the VR shooting function is achieved, but the target image size does not match the virtual background size, resulting in poor user experience

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage size matchingVSAvoidimage synthesis accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by adjusting the image size parameter of the captured target image through iterative modification. The system changes the scaling parameter until the target image size matches the virtual background size, resolving the size mismatch problem while maintaining synthesis quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by continuously comparing the target image with the virtual background, detecting whether they overlap properly, and using this feedback to adjust the image size parameter. This closed-loop process ensures accurate matching between real and virtual elements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If the first target image is adjusted to match the virtual background size, then the user experience is improved, but multiple iterations of adjustment are required, consuming time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimage matching qualityVSAvoidcalibration time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing the coordinate system correspondence and shooting parameter relationships between the electronic equipment and wearable equipment. This preliminary calibration creates a foundation that reduces the number of iterative adjustments needed during actual shooting

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual iterative adjustment with an automated parameter adjustment mechanism. The system automatically modifies the image size parameter based on overlap detection, eliminating the need for manual intervention and reducing calibration time while maintaining matching quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

Disclosed are a shooting calibration method, a system, an equipment and a storage medium. The shooting calibration method is applied to a shooting calibration system which includes an electronic equipment and a wearable equipment. The shooting calibration method includes: shooting, by the electronic equipment, a first target image, and sending the first target image to the wearable equipment; receiving, by the wearable equipment, the first target image sent by the electronic equipment; and in response to that the first target image does not overlap with a second target image observed through the wearable equipment, adjusting an image size parameter of the first target image, and returning to execute a step of sending the first target image to the wearable equipment until the first target image overlaps with the second target image, and obtaining a target adjustment parameter.
