Image processing method and apparatus, virtual reality apparatus, and computer-program product

An image processing apparatus, comprising:

• a memory;
• one or more processors;
• and
• a display apparatus;
• wherein the memory and the one or more processors are connected with each other;
• and
• the memory stores computer-executable instructions for controlling the one or more processors to:
• determine a first mapping relationship between first coordinates in a first coordinate system of a Multi-Resolution-Shading image and second coordinates in a second coordinate system of a Multi-Resolution-Shading screen image;
• apply an anti-distortion process to the Multi-Resolution-Shading image based on the first mapping relationship, thereby obtaining an anti-distortion image;
• wherein the display apparatus is configured to:
• apply an image flattening process to the anti-distortion image thereby obtaining a flattened anti-distortion image;
• and
• display the flattened anti-distortion image;
• wherein the memory further stores computer-executable instructions for controlling the one or more processors to:
• determine a second mapping relationship between third coordinates in a third coordinate system of an original image and fourth coordinates in a fourth coordinate system of a screen image;
• determine a third mapping relationship between the third coordinates of the third coordinate system of the original image and the first coordinates of the first coordinate system of the Multi-Resolution-Shading image;
• determine a fourth mapping relationship between the first coordinates of the first coordinate system of the Multi-Resolution-Shading image and the fourth coordinates of the fourth coordinate system of the screen image based on the second mapping relationship and the third mapping relationship;
• apply a Multi-Resolution-Shading Process to the fourth coordinates in the fourth coordinate system of the screen image based on the third mapping relationship, thereby obtaining the second coordinates in the second coordinate system of the Multi-Resolution-Shading screen image;
• determine the first mapping relationship using based on the fourth mapping relationship and the second coordinates of the second coordinate system of the Multi-Resolution-Shading screen image;
• determine a gaze position in the screen image;
• separate the screen image into a high-resolution region and a plurality of low-resolution regions based on the gaze position in the screen image;
• and
• apply Multi-Resolution-Shading Process to the fourth coordinates in a fourth coordinate system of a plurality of regions of the screen image including the high-resolution region and the plurality of low-resolution regions in the screen image based on the third mapping relationship, thereby obtaining the second coordinates in the second coordinate system of the Multi-Resolution-Shading screen image.

A computer-program product comprising a

• non-transitory tangible computer-readable medium having computer-readable instructions thereon, the computer-readable instructions being executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform:
• determining a first mapping relationship between first coordinates in a first coordinate system of a Multi-Resolution-Shading image and second coordinates in a second coordinate system of a Multi-Resolution-Shading screen image;
• applying an anti-distortion process to the Multi-Resolution-Shading image based on the first mapping relationship, thereby obtaining an anti-distortion image;
