  • Patent number: 10616475
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a photo-taking prompting method and apparatus, an apparatus and a non-volatile computer storage medium. On the one hand, a user's image information is collected while the user finds view, then the user's face posture information is obtained from the image information, then face posture information of a preset photo-taking template is compared with the user's face posture information, and the user is prompted to adjust the face posture according to a comparison result. The technical solutions provided by embodiments of the present disclosure may implement prompting the user's face posture adjustment while the user finds view and thereby implement providing guidance for the user's face posture, and solve the problem in the prior art about failure to perform photo-taking guidance while the user finds view.

  • Patent number: 10599914
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for human face image processing. A specific embodiment of the method comprises: locating facial feature points in a human face image, extracting an image of a human face region according to a range defined by the facial feature points, transforming a facial image of the source image according to a face shape of the target image, transforming the facial image of the source image according to a complexion distribution of a facial region of the target image, and obtaining a new human face by combining the facial image of the source image and a facial image of the target image. The embodiment achieves a facial image processing with higher similarity to the user in the image, of simple steps, small calculation and high real-time performance.
