Face image replacement system and method implemented by portable electronic device

1. A portable electronic device, comprising:

an image capturing device operable to capture a person image of a user;

a storage system operable to store one or more special images and face character data;

a display screen, and at least one microprocessor; and

one or more programs stored in the storage system and executable by the at least one microprocessor, the one or more programs comprising:

an image analysis module operable to obtain the person image from the image capturing device, and analyze the person image to determine a face area of the person image according to the face character data stored in the storage system;

an image adjustment module operable to mark the face area with a rectangle area and calculate a size of the rectangle area, obtain a special image from the storage system, and adjust a size of the special image according to the size of the rectangle area; and

an image replacement module operable to replace the face area of the person image with the special image to generate a face replacement image, and display the face replacement image on the display screen, wherein the image replacement module further checks pixel points of the face area in the person image, determines whether a RGB (red, green, and blue) value of each pixel point of the face area is equal to a gray value, keeps a pixel point in the face area if the RGB value of the pixel point is equal to the gray value, or replaces the pixel point of the face area with a pixel point of the special image if the RGB value of the pixel point is not equal to the gray value.

2. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further comprises an image storing module operable to store the one or more special images and the face replacement image to the storage system.

3. The portable electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the face character data comprise mouth character data, eye character data, and noise character data.

4. A face image replacement method implemented by an portable electronic device comprising an image capturing device and a display screen, the method comprising:

capturing a person image of a user using the image capturing device of the portable electronic device;

analyzing the person image to determine a face area of the person image according to face character data stored in a storage system of the portable electronic device;

marking the face area with a rectangle area, and calculating a size of the rectangle area;

obtaining a special image from the storage system, and adjusting a size of the special image according to the size of the rectangle area;

replacing the face area of the person image with the special image to generate a face replacement image, wherein the replacing step comprises steps of: checking pixel points of the face area in the person image, determining whether a RGB (red, green, and blue) value of each of the pixel points is equal to a gray value, keeping a pixel point in the face area if the RGB value of the pixel point is equal to the gray value, or replacing the pixel point of the face area with a pixel point of the special image if the RGB value of the pixel point is not equal to the gray value; and

displaying the face replacement image on the display screen.

5. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising:

pre-storing one or more special images and the face character data to the storage system.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the face character data comprise mouth character data, eye character data, and noise character data.

7. A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by at least one microprocessor of an electronic device, causes the electronic device to perform a face image replacement method, the method comprising:

capturing a person image of a user using an image capturing device of the electronic device;

analyzing the person image to determine a face area of the person image according to face character data stored in a storage system of the electronic device;

marking the face area with a rectangle area, and calculating a size of the rectangle area;

obtaining a special image from the storage system, and adjusting a size of the special image according to the size of the rectangle area;

replacing the face area of the person image with the special image to generate a face replacement image, wherein the replacing step comprises steps of: checking pixel points of the face area in the person image, determining whether a RGB (red, green, and blue) value of each of the pixel points is equal to a gray value, keeping a pixel point in the face area if the RGB value of the pixel point is equal to the gray value, or replacing the pixel point of the face area with a pixel point of the special image if the RGB value of the pixel point is not equal to the gray value; and

displaying the face replacement image on a display screen of the electronic device.

8. The storage medium according to claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises:

pre-storing one or more special images and the face character data to the storage system.

9. The storage medium according to claim 7 , wherein the face character data comprise mouth character data, eye character data, and noise character data.
