A video generation method includes: acquiring an original image corresponding to a target frame, and identifying a target object in the original image; according to a sliding zooming strategy, performing sliding zooming processing on an initial background image in the original image excluding the target object, so as to obtain a target background image, wherein the sliding zooming strategy is at least used for indicating a sliding direction and a zooming direction of the initial background image, and the sliding direction is opposite to the zooming direction; according to the position of the target object in the original image, superimposing an image of the target object onto the target background image to obtain a target image corresponding to the target frame; and generating a target video on the basis of the target image corresponding to the target frame.

Methods and apparatus for metadata-based cinematography, production effects, shot selection, and/or other content augmentation. Effective cinematography conveys storyline, emotion, excitement, etc. Unfortunately, most amateur filmmakers lack the knowledge and ability to create cinema quality media. Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed to, among other things, rendering media based on instantaneous metadata. Unlike traditional post-processing techniques that rely on human subjectivity, some of the various techniques described herein leverage the camera's actual experiential data to enable cinema-quality post-processing for the general consuming public. Instantaneous metadata-based cinematography and shot selection advisories and architectures are also described.

An image processing apparatus applies, to an input image, image restoration processing for correcting bokeh caused by a characteristic of an imaging optical system used to capture the input image. The image processing apparatus may further add a predetermined effect to a high luminance portion satisfying a predetermined condition in the input image to which the image restoration processing has been applied. The image processing apparatus has capabilities both correcting bokeh caused by an aberration in an optical system while keeping bokeh as photographic expression.

The embodiment of the present disclosure discloses an image processing method, apparatus, electronic device and computer readable storage medium. The image processing method includes identifying a first object in a first video frame image and a second object located in the first object; in accordance with a position of the first object in the first video frame image, overlaying a third object as a foreground image on the first video frame image to obtain a second video frame image; wherein the third object overlays the first object in the second video frame image; in accordance with a position of the second object in the first video frame image, overlapping the second object as a foreground image on the third object of the second video frame image to obtain a third video frame image.

An animated emoticon generation method, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer device are provided. The method includes: displaying an emoticon input panel on a chat page; detecting whether a video shooting event is triggered in the emoticon input panel; acquiring video data in response to detecting the video shooting event; obtaining an edit operation for the video data; processing video frames in the video data according to the edit operation to synthesize an animated emoticon; and adding an emoticon thumbnail corresponding to the animated emoticon to the emoticon input panel, the emoticon thumbnail displaying the animated emoticon to be used as a message on the chat page based on a user selecting the emoticon thumbnail in the emoticon input panel.

Producing a privacy-protected video clip in a video management system includes retrieving a selected video clip constituting at least a portion of a stored video stream; obtaining segments of the video clip which are spaced apart in time and have a total length equal to a defined time period; combining the obtained segments of the video clip to form a background training clip; and processing the background training clip, or the separate segments, to produce a background model. The video clip is processed to produce a privacy-protected video clip, such that, for each image the video clip, the processing includes performing background subtraction, using the background model, to define foreground regions, and obscuring the defined foreground regions.

Techniques and systems are provided for capturing self-images in extended reality environments. In some examples, a system captures a pose of a user of an extended reality system. The pose of the user includes a location of the user within a real-world environment associated with the extended reality system. The system also generates a digital representation of the user. The digital representation of the user reflects the pose of the user. The system further captures one or more frames of the real-world environment and overlays the digital representation of the user onto the one or more frames of the real-world environment.

Methods, systems, and devices are described for presenting non-video content through a mobile device that uses a video camera to track a video on another screen. In one embodiment, a system includes a video display, such as a TV, that displays video content. A mobile device with an integrated video camera captures video data from the TV and allows a user to select an area in the video in order to hear/feel/smell what is at that location in the video.

This application relates to an angle switching method and apparatus for an image captured in an electronic terminal. In one embodiment, an angle switching method for an image captured in an electronic terminal includes the following steps: receiving a triggering operation on a specified switching button; switching an angle on an image captured by a camera of the terminal within a specified angle range to an image area; and displaying the image captured by the camera of the current terminal at an angle after the switching.

The method provided in the present disclosure includes: obtaining an image photographed by a camera, and performing face detection on the image by using a face detection algorithm, to obtain a face pixel set from the image; positioning a facial feature contour mask over the face pixel set, to obtain a to-be-examined pixel set from the face pixel set, the to-be-examined pixel set including: a plurality of pixels within an image area except pixels masked by the facial feature contour mask in the face pixel set; performing edge contour detection on the to-be-examined pixel set, and extracting one or more blemish regions from the to-be-examined pixel set, to obtain a to-be-retouched pixel set, the to-be-retouched pixel set including: a plurality of pixels within an image area belonging to the blemish regions; and retouching all pixels in the to-be-retouched pixel set, to obtain a retouched pixel set.
