Translator pen including housing and pen head and translation method using same

A translation method using a translator pen,

• wherein the translator pen comprises a housing and a pen head at an end of the housing, wherein the housing forms a first accommodation cavity adapted to accommodate an image collector;
• an outer contour of the pen head is formed into a tapered shape, an outer diameter of the pen head gradually decreases along a direction of the pen head away from the housing and forms a second accommodation cavity adapted to accommodate a pen core;
• the pen head is formed at a portion of the end of the housing, and at least a portion of the end of the housing, which does not form the pen head, forms an inclined surface, the inclined surface being inclined relative to the outer contour of the pen head toward an outside of the housing along a direction of the housing away from the pen head, the image collector is disposed on the inclined surface, the first accommodation cavity further comprises a trigger switch and a controller, and the pen core comprises a pen tip far from one end of the housing,
• wherein the method comprises:
• a pen tip pressing step of pressing the pen tip close to a word to be translated, and transmitting a received external force to the trigger switch, which sends a trigger signal;
• a photographing step of controlling, by the controller, the image collector to collect an image to be translated comprising the pen tip and the word to be translated indicated by the pen tip in response to the trigger signal;
• an image preprocessing step of preprocessing a collected image to be translated to obtain a processed image;
• a text detection step of marking an image area with words on the processed image to select a target image area where the word to be translated is located;
• a character recognition step of performing character recognition on the target image area to obtain the word to be translated;
• a translation step of translating the word character to obtain a translation result;
• and
• a result output step of outputting the translation result.
