Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for determining a to-be-superimposed area of an image, superimposing an image and presenting a picture. The method for determining a to-be-superimposed area of an image in a scene picture comprises: acquiring a scene picture; determining a to-be-superimposed area in the scene picture; receiving a to-be-superimposed image based on a update request from a user, the update request including identity information of the to-be-superimposed image; and determining the to-be-superimposed area matching the to-be-superimposed image based on the identity information. The present embodiment realizes a partial update to the scene picture.

receiving a to-be-superimposed image based on an update request from a user, the update request including identity information of the to-be-superimposed image; and

determining the to-be-superimposed area matching the to-be-superimposed image based on the identity information.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the determining a to-be-superimposed area in the scene picture comprises:

adding identification information to the to-be-superimposed area.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein:

the identification information of the to-be-superimposed area comprises;

geographical location information of the to-be-superimposed area, size information of the to-be-superimposed area and to-be-updated time information of the to-be-superimposed area; and

the identity information of the to-be-superimposed image comprises;

geographical location information of the to-be-superimposed image, size information of the to-be-superimposed image and to-be-updated time information of the to-be-superimposed image.

4. The method according to claim 2, wherein the predetermined condition comprises:

an expected update frequency of the candidate superimposed area being higher than a predetermined frequency.

5. A method for superimposing an image in a scene picture, comprising:

receiving identification information of a to-be-superimposed area in the scene picture, the identification information of the to-be-superimposed area including geographical location information of the to-be-superimposed area, size information of the to-be-superimposed area and to-be-updated time information of the to-be-superimposed area, wherein the to-be-superimposed area is determined by identifying streetscape objects contained in the scene picture, dividing the scene picture in accordance with an outline of each of the streetscape objects to obtain candidate superimposed areas, and determining the candidate superimposed area meeting a predetermined condition as the to-be-superimposed area; and

uploading a to-be-superimposed image to a server, resulting from identity information of the to-be-superimposed image matching the identification information of the to-be-superimposed area, the identity information of the to-be-superimposed image including geographical location information of the image, size information of the image and to-be-updated time information of the image.

6. A method for presenting a scene picture, comprising:

receiving a scene picture acquisition request of a user, the scene picture acquisition request including geographical location information of a to-be-requested scene picture;

acquiring a first scene picture matching the scene picture acquisition request;

adding a to-be-superimposed image matching a to-be-superimposed area to the to-be-superimposed area to form a second scene picture, according to the first scene picture including the to-be-superimposed area, wherein the to-be-superimposed area is determined by identifying streetscape objects contained in the first scene picture, dividing the first scene picture in accordance with an outline of each of the streetscape objects to obtain candidate superimposed areas, and determining the candidate superimposed area meeting a predetermined condition as the to-be-superimposed area; and

presenting the second scene picture to the user.

7. An apparatus for determining a to-be-superimposed area of an image in a scene picture, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations, the operations comprising;

acquiring a scene picture;

determining a to-be-superimposed area in the scene picture, comprising identifying streetscape objects contained in the scene picture, and dividing the scene picture in accordance with an outline of each of the streetscape objects to obtain candidate superimposed areas, determining the candidate superimposed area meeting a predetermined condition as the to-be-superimposed area;

receiving a to-be-superimposed image based on a update request from a user, the update request including identity information of the to-be-superimposed image; and

determining the to-be-superimposed area matching the to-be-superimposed image based on the identity information.

8. The apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the determining a to-be-superimposed area in the scene picture comprises:

adding identification information to the to-be-superimposed area.

9. The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein:

the identification information of the to-be-superimposed area comprises;

geographical location information of the to-be-superimposed area, size information of the to-be-superimposed area and to-be-updated time information of the to-be-superimposed area; and

the identity information of the to-be-superimposed image comprises;

geographical location information of the to-be-superimposed image, size information of the to-be-superimposed image and to-be-updated time information of the to-be-superimposed image.

10. The apparatus according to claim 8, wherein the predetermined condition comprises:

an expected update frequency of the candidate superimposed area being higher than a predetermined frequency.

11. An apparatus for superimposing an image in a scene picture, comprising:

at least one processor; and

a memory storing instructions, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations, the operations comprising;

receiving identification information of a to-be-superimposed area in the scene picture, the identification information of the to-be-superimposed area including geographical location information of the to-be-superimposed area, size information of the to-be-superimposed area and to-be-updated time information of the to-be-superimposed area, wherein the to-be-superimposed area is determined by identifying streetscape objects contained in the scene picture, dividing the scene picture in accordance with an outline of each of the streetscape objects to obtain candidate superimposed areas, and determining the candidate superimposed area meeting a predetermined condition as the to-be-superimposed area; and

uploading a to-be-superimposed image to a server, based on identity information of the to-be-superimposed image matching the identification information of the to-be-superimposed area, the identity information of the to-be-superimposed image including geographical location information of the image, size information of the image and to-be-updated time information of the image.
