Abstract

A picture data transmission method and device are disclosed in the present invention. The picture data transmission method comprises: recoding a first picture to be transmitted, by a picture data sending terminal, to obtain a second picture, wherein the file size of the second picture is smaller than that of the first picture, and a quality difference between the second picture and the first picture is less than a pre-set threshold; and selecting one of the first picture and the second picture according to quality values of the first picture and the second picture and sending the selected picture to a picture data receiving terminal. According to the present invention, pictures can be recoded to obtain pictures with a small amount of data for data transmission, without affecting the picture quality, thereby saving network resources and reducing storage pressure.

Claims (24)

1. A picture data transmission method, comprising:

recoding a first picture to be transmitted, by a picture data sending terminal, to obtain a second picture, wherein a file size of the second picture is smaller than a file size of the first picture;

determining whether a picture quality of the second picture is higher than a pre-set value;

selecting one of the first picture and the second picture based on whether the picture quality of the second picture is higher than the pre-set value; and

sending the selected picture to a picture data receiving terminal.

2. The picture data transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein the determining whether the picture quality of the second picture is higher than the pre-set value comprises:

determining whether a picture quality related parameter of the second picture is higher than a threshold value, the picture quality related parameter comprising resolution or brightness.

3. The picture data transmission method according to claim 1 , further comprising performing, by the picture data receiving terminal, a corresponding reverse recoding according to data of the second picture received to obtain a third picture.

4. The picture data transmission method according to claim 1 , wherein a picture format of the first picture is JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG, ico or tiff, and a picture format of the second picture is WEBP or HEVC.

5. The picture data transmission method according to claim 3 , wherein a picture format of the third picture is the same as a picture format of the first picture.

6. A picture data transmission device, comprising:

a first picture format conversion unit configured to recode a first picture to be transmitted to obtain a second picture, wherein a file size of the second picture is smaller than that of the first picture; and

a picture data transmission unit configured to select one of the first picture and the second picture according to a picture quality of the first picture and a picture quality of the second picture and send the selected picture to a picture data receiving terminal, wherein a picture quality difference between the second picture and the first picture is less than a pre-set threshold.

7. The picture data transmission device according to claim 6 , wherein the picture data transmission unit comprises:

a determining sub-unit configured to determine whether the picture quality of the second picture is higher than a pre-set value; and

a picture sending sub-unit configured to send, if the picture quality of the second picture is higher than the pre-set value, the second picture to the picture data receiving terminal, and send, if the picture quality of the second picture is lower than the pre-set value, the first picture to the picture data receiving terminal.

8. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising program instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method of:

recoding a first picture to be transmitted, by a picture data sending terminal, to obtain a second picture, wherein a file size of the second picture is smaller than a file size of the first picture;

determining whether a picture quality of the second picture is higher than a pre-set value;

selecting one of the first picture and the second picture based on whether a picture quality of the second picture is higher than a pre-set value; and

sending the selected picture to a picture data receiving terminal.

9. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the determining whether the picture quality of the second picture is higher than the pre-set value comprises:

determining whether a picture quality related parameter of the second picture is higher than a threshold value, the picture quality related parameter comprising resolution or brightness.

10. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises performing, by the picture data receiving terminal, a corresponding reverse recoding according to data of the second picture received to obtain a third picture.
