Abstract

A method, a device and a computer storage medium for image synthesis. The method for image synthesis includes: getting a default image, setting the default image to the background image of shooting; shooting the trajectory of moving objects; at the end of the shooting, synthesizing images of the trajectory of moving objects shot currently and the background image to generate a target image.

acquiring a preset image, and setting the preset image as a background image;

shooting a moving object to obtain a shot trail image; and

compositing, when shooting is ended, the shot trail image of the moving object with the background image to generate a target image;

wherein setting the preset image as the background image comprises;

acquiring a luminance value of the preset image, and judging whether the luminance value is greater than a preset luminance threshold;

setting, when the luminance value is smaller than or equal to the preset luminance threshold, the preset image as the background image;

adjusting, when the luminance value of the preset image is greater than the preset luminance threshold, the luminance of the preset image so as to adjust the luminance value of the preset image to be smaller than or equal to the preset luminance threshold; and

setting the luminance-adjusted preset image as the background image.

2. The image composition method according to claim 1, wherein shooting the moving object to obtain the shot trail image comprises:

taking, when a first image is shot, the first image as a first composite trail image of the moving object;

shooting, after the first image is shot, an image at a preset time interval, and compositing, every time the image is shot, a shot current image with a previous composite trail image of the moving object so as to generate a new trail image of the moving object; and

when shooting is ended, obtaining the shot trail image of the moving object.

3. The image composition method according to claim 1, wherein after compositing the shot trail image of the moving object with the background image to generate the target image, the method further comprises:

adjusting at least one of a transparency of the background image or a transparency of the shot trail image of the moving object in the target image.

4. The image composition method according to claim 2, wherein when the shot image is an image of a star trail, compositing the shot current image with the previous composite trail image of the moving object so as to generate the new trail image of the moving object comprises:

determining whether a luminance of a pixel in the shot current image of the moving object is greater than the luminance of a pixel, which is at a same position as the position of the pixel of the shot current image, in the previous composite trail image of the moving object; and

if the luminance of the pixel in the shot current image of the moving object is greater than the luminance of the pixel, which is at the same position as the position of the pixel in the shot current image, in the previous composite trail image of the moving object, replacing the pixel in the previous composite trail image of the moving object with the pixel, which is at the same position as the position of the pixel in the previous composite trail image, in the shot current image of the moving object.

5. The image composition method according to claim 2, wherein when the shot image is a light-painting image, compositing the shot current image with the previous composite trail image of the moving object so as to generate the new trail image of the moving object comprises:

performing an addition operation on the shot current image of the moving object and the previous composite trail image of the moving object to generate the new trail image of the moving object.
