[0026] It should be understood that the number of the computing device in FIG. 1 is only schematic. According to implementation needs, there may be any number of computing devices.

[0027] Continue to refer to FIG. 2, which shows a flow 200 of some embodiments of an information generation method according to the present disclosure. The method may be executed by the computing device 101 in FIG. 1. The information generation method includes the following steps: [0028] step 201, a target region set is generated based on an obtained first target picture.

[0029] In some embodiments, an executive body (such as the computing device 101 shown in FIG. 1) of the information generation method may perform image detection on the first target picture firstly to obtain location information of a target region (such as a nail). Then, based on the obtained location information of the target region, the above executive body may use a connected domain search method to determine a region contour of the target region. Then, the above executive body may segment the determined contour, so as to obtain the target region set. Here, image detection is usually used for detecting a location of the target region displayed in the above first target picture. Specifically, the location may be expressed in a form of coordinates. In an image, there are 8 adjacent pixels around each pixel, and an adjacency relation includes 4 adjacency and 8 adjacency. If two pixels are adjacent, they can be said to be connected, and a region formed by connected points is called a connected region. The connected domain search method may be a method for searching for each connected region in the target region and then marking and displaying them.

[0030] In some optional implementations of some embodiments, the above first target picture is a picture of a preset size intercepted from a to-be-intercepted picture, and the above to-be-intercepted picture is a picture in which a nail region is determined to be displayed.

[0031] In some optional implementations of some embodiments, the above executive body may input the above first target picture into a pre-trained first deep neural network to obtain the location information of the target region in the above first target picture.

[0032] In some optional implementations of some embodiments, the above first deep neural network may be trained by the following methods: first, the above executive body may obtain a training sample set, and a training sample in the above training sample set includes a sample picture and sample location information. Then, the above executive body may select the training sample from the above training sample set. Then, the sample picture in the selected training sample is taken as an input of an initial model, the sample location information corresponding to the above sample picture is taken as an expected output of the above initial model, and the above first deep neural network is obtained by training. The above initial model may be various neural networks that can obtain corresponding sample location information according to the above sample picture. Initial parameters are set in each layer of the above initial model, and the initial parameters may be continuously adjusted in a training process of the above first deep neural network. For example, a convolutional neural network (CNN).

[0033] In some optional implementations of some embodiments, the above first deep neural network includes a target region positioning network and a target region extraction network, the above target region positioning network is used for determining coordinates of the target region in the picture, and the above target region extraction network is used for extracting the target region based on the above coordinates. The above target region positioning network may adopt a target detection algorithm (Region-CNN and R-CNN). The above target region extraction network may adopt the following feature extraction algorithms: a support vector machine (SVM), a K nearest neighbor algorithm, a decision tree and naive bayes.

[0034] Step 202, a target region that meets a preset condition is selected from the target region set as a candidate region to obtain a candidate region set.

[0035] In some embodiments, the above executive body may select a target region with an area greater than a first preset threshold from the above target region set as the candidate region to obtain the candidate region set. The above executive body may also select a target region with a probability value greater than a second preset threshold from the above target region set as the candidate region to obtain the candidate region set. Here, the probability value may be a value used for representing a possibility that the target region is a nail region.

[0036] In some optional implementations of some embodiments, the above preset condition includes that a value of the area is greater than the first preset threshold or the probability value is greater than the second preset threshold.

[0037] Step 203, a second target picture is generated based on the candidate region set.

[0038] In some embodiments, the above executive body firstly may establish a plane rectangular coordinate system on a predetermined display plane. Then, the above executive body may map each candidate region in the candidate region set to the predetermined display plane according to the location information (such as coordinates) of the candidate region to obtain a mapping picture. Then, the above executive body may determine the above mapping picture as the second target picture.

[0039] Step 204, picture related information is generated based on the second target picture.

[0040] In some embodiments, the above executive body may generate the picture related information through the following steps: step 1, the above executive body may perform feature extraction on each candidate region displayed in the second target picture to obtain a feature of each candidate region, so as to generate a vector matrix; step 2, the above executive body may determine a similarity between the vector matrix of each candidate region and each preset contrast vector matrix in a preset contrast vector matrix set to obtain a similarity set of each candidate region; step 3, based on the similarity set of each candidate region, the above executive body may sort the similarity sets in an order of similarity from large to small to obtain a similarity sequence of each candidate region; step 4, the above executive body may select a similarity of a first location from the similarity sequence to obtain a first similarity set; step 5, the above executive body may determine category information of the preset contrast vector matrix corresponding to each similarity in the first similarity set as category information of each candidate region; step 6, the above executive body may input the above second target picture into a key point extraction network to obtain key point information of each candidate region in the above second target picture; and step 7, the above executive body may combine the category information and the key point information of each candidate region in the above second target picture to obtain the picture related information of the second target picture. Here, the similarity may be a score obtained by scoring a cosine distance between the vector matrix and the preset contrast vector matrix.

[0041] In some optional implementations of some embodiments, the above executive body may input the above second target picture into a pre-trained third deep neural network to obtain the picture related information.

[0042] In some optional implementations of some embodiments, the picture related information includes the category information and the key point information.

[0043] In some optional implementations of some embodiments, the above third deep neural network may include a category information generating network and a key point extraction network.

[0044] In some optional implementations of some embodiments, the above third deep neural network may be various neural networks that can obtain the category information and the key point information of the candidate region according to the second target picture. The above feature extraction network may adopt the following feature extraction algorithms: a support vector machine (SVM), a K nearest neighbor algorithm, a decision tree and naive bayes. The above classifying network may adopt linear discriminant analysis (LDA), a Gaussian classifier or a logical regression classifier. Here, categories may include, but not limited to at least one of the following: a thumb category, an index finger category, a middle finger category, a ring finger category and a little finger category. As an example, the category information may be that “this region belongs to the thumb”.

[0045] The method provided by some embodiments of the present disclosure realizes effective extraction of the target region in the first target picture. The target region displayed in the first target picture is further classified to generate the picture related information. A recognition result of the first target picture is more accurate, so that the subsequent image processing technology has room for improvement.

[0046] The information generation method of the present disclosure may further be applied to the technical field of virtual nail enhancement. For a nail picture provided by a user, a nail region in the nail picture is extracted, so that each nail region in the nail picture can be obtained. Then, a second nail picture containing each nail region may be generated, so that the user can use it as the material to make the next picture. By further classifying each nail region, picture related information containing category information and key point information of the nail regions is generated. It can help the user understand the categories of the nail regions, reduce the time for the user to judge the categories of the nail regions, and laterally improve the utilization efficiency of the extracted nail regions.

[0047] Continue to refer to FIG. 3, which shows a flow chart 300 of some other embodiments of an information generation method according to the present disclosure. The method may be executed by the computing device 101 in FIG. 1. The information generation method includes the following steps: [0048] step 301, a first target picture is input into a pre-trained first deep neural network to obtain a target region in the first target picture, so as to constitute a target region set.

[0049] In some embodiments, an executive body (such as the computing device 101 shown in FIG. 1) of the information generation method may input the first target picture into the pre-trained first deep neural network to obtain the target region in the first target picture. Here, the first deep neural network may be a pre-trained neural network model used for extracting for the target region in the picture.

[0050] Step 302, a target parameter of each target region in the target region set is determined.

[0051] In some embodiments, the above executive body may obtain an area of the target region through the following steps: step 1, the above executive body may obtain location information of each vertex of the above target region based on the location information of the target region obtained by above step 301; step 2, the above executive body may divide the above target region based on a preset dividing method, here, the preset dividing method may be to divide the target region into at least one triangle, and there is no overlap between the triangles; step 3, the above executive body may use a triangle area calculation method to calculate the area of each triangle based on the location information of each vertex of the above target region; and step 4, the above executive body may sum the obtained areas of the triangles to take a calculation result as the area of the above target region. Therefore, the above executive body may obtain the area of each target region in the target region set.

[0052] In some optional implementations of some embodiments, determining the area of each target region in the above target region set includes: the area of each target region in the above target region set is determined through a mode of dividing an interior of the target region or selecting a target point outside the above target region.

[0053] In some optional implementations of some embodiments, the above executive body may further obtain the area of the target region through the following steps: step 1, the above executive body may obtain location information of each vertex of the above target region based on the location information of the target region obtained by above step 301; step 2, the above executive body may connect each above vertex to determine a concave point of the above target region, here, the concave point may be a vertex of a reflex angle of the above target region; step 3, the above executive body may select a target point outside the target region from the first target picture; step 4, the above executive body may obtain location information of the target point; step 5, the above executive body may connect the target point with each vertex of the above target region sequentially to obtain a connecting polygon; step 6, the above executive body may divide the above connecting polygon based on the above preset dividing method to obtain at least one triangle; step 7, the above executive body may calculate the area of each triangle, sum the obtained areas of the triangles and take a calculation result as the area of the above connecting polygon; step 8, the above executive body may determine a region obtained by connecting the above target point with the concave point of the above target region and two vertices adjacent to the concave point as a concave region; step 9, the above executive body may use the above preset dividing method to calculate an area of the concave region; and step 10, the above executive body may determine an absolute value of a difference between the area of the above connecting polygon and the area of the above concave region as the area of the above target region.

[0054] In some embodiments, the above executive body may obtain the probability value of the target region through the following steps: step 1, the above executive body may perform feature extraction on each target region in the target region set to obtain a vector diagram of the target region, so as to constitute a vector diagram set; step 2, the above executive body may score a cosine distance between each vector diagram in the vector diagram set and a preset contrast vector diagram to obtain a cosine distance score; step 3, the above executive body may determine the cosine distance score as a confidence score of the vector diagram and the preset contrast vector diagram to obtain a confidence score set; and step 4, the above executive body may determine the confidence score corresponding to each target region as the probability value of the target region.

[0055] Specifically, in statistics, a confidence interval of a probability sample is an interval estimation on a certain population parameter of this sample. The confidence interval shows the degree to which a true value of this parameter has a certain probability to fall around a measurement result. The confidence interval gives a confidential degree of a measured value of the measured parameter, that is, the “certain probability” required previously. This probability is called a confidence level and is generally expressed in a form of a fraction.

[0056] Step 303, a predetermined number of target regions are selected from the target region set as candidate regions according to a value of the target parameter corresponding to each target region from large to small to obtain a candidate region set.

[0057] In some embodiments, the above executive body may select the predetermined number of target regions from the target region set as candidate regions in the order of areas from large to small. The above executive body may also select the predetermined number of target regions from the target region set as the candidate regions in an order of probability values from large to small.

[0058] In some optional implementations of some embodiments, the target regions with relatively small area values are screened out, and the regions with relatively large area values remain as the candidate regions. The generated second target picture can be more consistent with definition requirements. Screening out the target regions with relatively small probability values can make the generated second target picture more accurate.

[0059] Step 304, each candidate region in the candidate region set is mapped to a predetermined display picture box to obtain a mapping picture, and the mapping picture is determined as the second target picture.

[0060] In some embodiments, the above executive body firstly may calculate a relative distance and angle among all the candidate regions according to the location information of each candidate region. Then, the above executive body may map the candidate regions to the predetermined display picture box according to the relative distance and angle among all the candidate regions to obtain the mapping picture. Then, the above executive body may determine the above mapping picture as the second target picture. Here, a size of the above predetermined display picture box may be same as a size of the first target picture.

[0061] Step 305, picture related information is generated based on the second target picture.

[0062] In some embodiments, the specific implementation of step 305 and the resulting technical effects may refer to step 204 in those embodiments corresponding to FIG. 2, which will not be repeated here.

[0063] Step 306, the picture related information is pushed to a target device with a display function, and the target device is controlled to display the picture related information.

[0064] In some embodiments, the above executive body may push the picture related information to the target device with the display function, and control the target device to display the picture related information.

[0065] It can be seen from FIG. 3 that, compared with the description of some embodiments corresponding to FIG. 2, a flow 300 of an image classification method in some embodiments corresponding to FIG. 3 describes a process of extracting the target region displayed in an image and determining a target region category in details. Therefore, the solutions described in these embodiments determine the category of the target region and generate the category information and the key point information of the target region by segmenting the target region. An analysis result of the target region can be effectively provided.
