IMAGE CONVERSION APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM
An image conversion apparatus for converting an image by using an artificial neural network includes: an image receiver receiving an image from a user; a template obtainer obtaining at least one image conversion template; and an image converter converting the static image into a moving image by using the obtained at least one image conversion template, wherein the image converter converts the static image received by the image receiver, into the moving image.
1 . An image conversion method comprising:
receiving a static image from a user;
obtaining at least one image conversion template; and
converting the static image into a moving image by using the obtained image conversion template.
2 . The image conversion method of claim 1 ,
wherein the moving image includes a plurality of frames.
3 . The image conversion method of claim 2 ,
wherein the plurality of frames include a frame corresponding to the static image.
4 . The image conversion method of claim 2 ,
wherein the moving image has a frame corresponding to the static image, as a first frame, and a frame corresponding to the image conversion template, as a last frame.
5 . The image conversion method of claim 1 ,
wherein the image conversion template is selected by the user from among a plurality of image conversion templates stored in a user terminal of the user.
6 . The image conversion method of claim 1 ,
further comprising receiving at least one reference image from the user,
wherein in the obtaining of the image conversion template, the reference image is obtained as the image conversion template.
7 . The image conversion method of claim 6 ,
wherein the reference image is a captured image of the user or an image of another person selected by the user.
8 . The image conversion method of claim 1 ,
wherein the transforming of the static image into a moving image comprises:
extracting texture information of a face of the user included in the static image;
extracting landmark information of a face of a person included in the image conversion template; and
generating the moving image by combining the texture information and the landmark information.
9 . (canceled)
10 . An image conversion apparatus comprising:
an image receiver receiving an image from a user;
a template obtainer obtaining at least one image conversion template; and
an image converter transforming the static image into a moving image by using the obtained at least one image conversion template,
wherein the image converter transforms the static image received by the image receiver, into the moving image.
11 . The image conversion apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the moving image includes a plurality of frames.
12 . The image conversion apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of frames include a frame corresponding to the static image.
13 . The image conversion apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the moving image has a frame corresponding to the static image as a first frame and a frame corresponding to the image conversion template as a last frame.
14 . The image conversion apparatus of claim 10 , further comprising a template storage storing a plurality of image conversion templates,
wherein the image converter transforms the static image into the moving image by using an image conversion template selected by the user from a plurality of image conversion templates stored in the template storage.
15 . The image conversion apparatus of claim 10 ,
wherein the image receiver receives at least one reference image from the user,
wherein the template obtainer obtains the reference image as the image conversion template.
16 . The image conversion apparatus of claim 15 ,
wherein the reference image is a captured image of the user or an image of another person selected by the user.
17 . The image conversion apparatus of claim 10 ,
wherein the image converter extracts texture information of a face of the user included in the static image;
extracts landmark information of a face of a person included in the image conversion template; and
generates the moving image by combining the texture information and the landmark information.
18 . A computer-readable recording medium having embodied thereon a program for executing the method of claim 1 .
19 . A computer-readable recording medium having embodied thereon a program for executing the method of claim 2 .
20 . A computer-readable recording medium having embodied thereon a program for executing the method of claim 3 .
21 . A computer-readable recording medium having embodied thereon a program for executing the method of claim 4 .
