  • Publication number: 20240135115
    Abstract: Provided are an AR translation processing method and an electronic device, which relate to the technical field of communications. By the method, in a scenario in which an electronic device is used for AR translation, a pose change of the electronic device can be detected in real time, and feature matching can be performed on a plurality of consecutive frames of images acquired by a camera, so that whether to-be-translated text needs to be fully translated or partially translated, or needs not to be translated can be determined based on the pose change of the electronic device and a feature matching result, and therefore a corresponding translation trigger strategy is selected. In this way, repeated translation can be effectively avoided, thereby saving computing resources in the AR translation process and improving the translation efficiency to a particular extent.
