  • Publication number: 20240395068
    Abstract: An image processing method for human body posture transformation, which is executed by an electronic device reading an executable code to identify a preset object using artificial intelligence, and performing image processing to capture target postures of the preset object. The method includes the steps of identifying an object, detecting postures, and capturing target postures. The steps involve detecting the preset object undergoing transformation between different postures within a target duration. A capture requirement is met when each posture is visible for a posture visibleness duration and reaches a duration threshold. A target posture transformation video which lasts for a segment duration is captured from an initial image and uploaded to the cloud for storage. An electronic device for human body posture transformation image processing, a terminal device in communication connection with the electronic device, and a non-transient computer-readable recording medium are further provided.

  • Publication number: 20240202929
    Abstract: An image cropping and processing method for adjusting an aspect ratio involves identifying coordinates of the human being in the initial image to define a human body coverage area and a first focal coordinate. The, using the first focal coordinate as a center point to define a cropping frame having a second aspect ratio, and the cropping frame corresponds to the human body coverage area and is enlarged according to a ratio parameter. The coordinates of a face of the human being in the initial image are identified to define a facial coverage area a second focal coordinate. The center point of the cropping frame is moved from a third focal coordinate thereof to coincide with the second focal coordinate, and when it is judged that the cropping frame is covered within the initial image, the cropping frame is selected as a cropped final image.
