总体效果
类似混合现实,实现展示玩家玩的VR游戏的实况

基本思想
利用openCV 插件,通过摄像头获取到玩家在蓝幕中玩游戏的场景,再使用蓝幕技术,对图像做处理,获取玩家的图像;最后和游戏场景进行叠加。
具体实现( UE 4.12, Opencv 2.4.13)
1, 在UE4 中打开 vs,添加一个class, 继承 Actor, WebCameraReader
2. UE4 中使用OpenCV 插件
方法一: 使用项目的dll 包含,即在项目中包含 OpenCV 文件中的 include, 然后在dll 中包含 \opencv\build\x64\vc12\lib (64位系统);
方法二: 把openCV的dll,做成一个插件调用;具体步骤 整理下插件的写法:① 在项目文件中,添加Plugins 文件夹,之后在Plugins 文件夹里面再创建一个插件的文件夹,比如 Plugins\CoolPlugin; 下面是CoolPlugin 的一些文件夹

uplugin 文件中,是需要编辑一些插件的信息,这些后面会显示在UE编辑器的插件信息中,如下所示,可以有一些关于插件的具体信息

在文件夹,ThirdParty 创建OpenCV ,里面我们可以加入需要用到的include(OpenCV\Includes) 文件以及 dll, lib文件(OpenCV\Libraries).
这些准备工作做好之后,就可以在代码中加载需要用到的lib 文件, dll 文件了。 在 CoolPlugin\Source\CoolPlugin 中,创建CoolPlugin.Buid.cs 文件
- using UnrealBuildTool;
- using System.IO;
- public class CoolPlugin : ModuleRules
- {
- public CoolPlugin(TargetInfo target)
- {
- PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(
- new string[] {
- "Engine",
- "UnrealEd",
- "InputCore",
- "Core",
- "Slate",
- "SlateCore",
- "EditorStyle",
- "CoreUObject",
- "CoolPlugin" // add plugin file name
- });
-
- PrivateIncludePaths.AddRange(new[] { "CoolPlugin/Private" });
-
- LoadOpenCV(target); //load dll or lib files
- }
- //LoadOpenCV(Target);
-
- private string ModulePath
- {
- get
- {
- RulesAssembly r;
- FileReference CheckProjectFile;
- UProjectInfo.TryGetProjectForTarget("CoolProject", out CheckProjectFile);
-
- r = RulesCompiler.CreateProjectRulesAssembly(CheckProjectFile);
- FileReference f = r.GetModuleFileName(this.GetType().Name);
-
- return Path.GetDirectoryName(f.CanonicalName);
-
- }
- //get { return Path.GetDirectoryName(RulesCompiler.GetModuleFilename(this.GetType().Name)); }
- }
- private string ThirdPartyPath
- {
- get { return Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine(ModulePath, "../../ThirdParty/")); }
- }
-
- public bool LoadOpenCV(TargetInfo Target)
- {
- bool isLibrarySupported = false;
-
- // Create OpenCV Path
- string OpenCVPath = Path.Combine(ThirdPartyPath, "OpenCV");
-
- // Get Library Path
- string LibPath = "";
- bool isdebug = Target.Configuration == UnrealTargetConfiguration.Debug && BuildConfiguration.bDebugBuildsActuallyUseDebugCRT;
- if (Target.Platform == UnrealTargetPlatform.Win64)
- {
- LibPath = Path.Combine(OpenCVPath, "Libraries", "Win64");
- isLibrarySupported = true;
- }
- else if (Target.Platform == UnrealTargetPlatform.Win32)
- {
- LibPath = Path.Combine(OpenCVPath, "Libraries", "Win32");
- isLibrarySupported = true;
- }
- else
- {
- string Err = string.Format("{0} dedicated server is made to depend on {1}. We want to avoid this, please correct module dependencies.", Target.Platform.ToString(), this.ToString()); System.Console.WriteLine(Err);
- }
- // PublicIncludePaths.AddRange(new string[] { "<Modulename>/Public", "<Modulename>/Classes" });
-
- //PublicIncludePaths.AddRange(new string[] { Path.Combine(OpenCVPath, "Includes") });
- if (isLibrarySupported)
- {
- //Add Include path
- PublicIncludePaths.AddRange(new string[] { Path.Combine(OpenCVPath, "Includes") });
-
- // Add Library Path
- PublicLibraryPaths.Add(LibPath);
-
- if (!isdebug)
- {
- PublicAdditionalLibraries.Add("opencv_imgproc2413.lib");
-
- //Add Dynamic Libraries (Debug Version)
- PublicDelayLoadDLLs.Add("opencv_imgproc2413.dll");
-
-
- PublicAdditionalLibraries.Add("opencv_core2413.lib");
-
- //Add Dynamic Libraries (Debug Version)
- PublicDelayLoadDLLs.Add("opencv_core2413.dll");
-
- PublicAdditionalLibraries.Add("opencv_highgui2413.lib");
-
- //Add Dynamic Libraries (Debug Version)
- PublicDelayLoadDLLs.Add("opencv_highgui2413.dll");
- }
- else
- {
- //Add Static Libraries (Debug Version)
- //PublicAdditionalLibraries.Add("opencv_ts300d.lib");
- PublicAdditionalLibraries.Add("opencv_imgproc2413d.lib");
-

- PublicDelayLoadDLLs.Add("opencv_imgproc2413d.dll");
-

-
- //Add Dynamic Libraries (Debug Version)
- PublicDelayLoadDLLs.Add("opencv_highgui2413d.dll");
- }
- }
-
- Definitions.Add(string.Format("WITH_OPENCV_BINDING={0}", isLibrarySupported ? 1 : 0));
-
- return isLibrarySupported;
- }
- }
最后,在CoolPlugin\Source\CoolPlugin\Private 中添加插件本身需要用到的代码。
3. 在webcamReader.h 中包含 使用到的OpenCV 中文件
- #include "opencv2/core.hpp"
- #include "opencv2/highgui.hpp"
- #include "opencv2/imgproc.hpp"
- #include "opencv2/video.hpp"
定义后面需要用到的几个主要用到的函数,onNextVideoFrame() 是在每获取到新的一帧图像之后的event, videoTextur 用来保存每次读取到的帧。 update 顾名思义就是不停的读图像,更新帧。
- // Fill out your copyright notice in the Description page of Project Settings.
-
- UCLASS()
- class MYPROJECT_API AWebcamReader : public AActor
- {
- GENERATED_BODY()
-
- public:
- // Sets default values for this actor's properties
- AWebcamReader();
-
- // deallocates memory for the opencv fields
- ~AWebcamReader();
-
- // Called when the game starts or when spawned
- virtual void BeginPlay() override;
-
- // Called every frame
- virtual void Tick( float DeltaSeconds ) override;
-
- // The device ID opened by the Video Stream
- UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadWrite, EditAnywhere, Category = Webcam)
- int32 CameraID ;
-
- //UPROPERTY(interp, Category = CameraSettings, meta = (ShowOnlyInnerProperties))
- // struct FPostProcessSettings PostProcessSettings;
-
- UPROPERTY(interp, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = CameraSettings)//, meta = (ShowOnlyInnerProperties))
- struct FPostProcessSettings PostProcessSettings;
-
-
- // If the webcam images should be resized every frame
- UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadWrite, EditAnywhere, Category = Webcam)
- bool ShouldResize;
-
- // The targeted resize width and height (width, height)
- UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadWrite, EditAnywhere, Category = Webcam)
- FVector2D ResizeDeminsions;
-
- // The rate at which the color data array and video texture is updated (in frames per second)
- UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadWrite, EditAnywhere, Category = Webcam)
- float RefreshRate;
-
- // The refresh timer
- UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Webcam)
- float RefreshTimer;
-
- // Blueprint Event called every time the video frame is updated
- UFUNCTION(BlueprintNativeEvent, Category = Webcam)
- void OnNextVideoFrame();
-
- // OpenCV fields
- cv::Mat* frame;
- cv::VideoCapture* stream;
- cv::Size* size;
-
- // OpenCV prototypes
- void UpdateFrame();
- void UpdateTexture();
-
- // If the stream has succesfully opened yet
- UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Webcam)
- bool isStreamOpen;
-
- // The videos width and height (width, height)
- UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Webcam)
- FVector2D VideoSize;
-
- // The current video frame's corresponding texture
- UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Webcam)
- UTexture2D* VideoTexture;
-
- // The current data array
- UPROPERTY(BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Webcam)
- TArray<FColor> Data;
-
- protected:
-
- // Use this function to update the texture rects you want to change:
- // NOTE: There is a method called UpdateTextureRegions in UTexture2D but it is compiled WITH_EDITOR and is not marked as ENGINE_API so it cannot be linked
- // from plugins.
- // FROM: https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Dynamic_Textures
- void UpdateTextureRegions(UTexture2D* Texture, int32 MipIndex, uint32 NumRegions, FUpdateTextureRegion2D* Regions, uint32 SrcPitch, uint32 SrcBpp, uint8* SrcData, bool bFreeData);
-
- // Pointer to update texture region 2D struct
- FUpdateTextureRegion2D* VideoUpdateTextureRegion;
-
- };
4. cpp 文件, 首先初始化这个类,包含摄像机的ID,更新频率 以及程序用到的变量等
- AWebcamReader::AWebcamReader()
- {
- // Set this actor to call Tick() every frame. You can turn this off to improve performance if you don't need it.
- PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = true;
-
- // Initialize OpenCV and webcam properties
- CameraID = 0;
- RefreshRate = 15;
- isStreamOpen = false;
- VideoSize = FVector2D(0, 0);
- ShouldResize = false;
- ResizeDeminsions = FVector2D(320, 240);
- stream = new cv::VideoCapture();
- frame = new cv::Mat();
- RefreshTimer = 1000000.0f;
- }
在begin 中,打开摄像机,读取第一帧
- void AWebcamReader::BeginPlay()
- {
- Super::BeginPlay();
-
- stream->open(CameraID);
- if (stream->isOpened())
- {
- //Initialize stream
- isStreamOpen = true;
- UpdateFrame();
- VideoSize = FVector2D(frame->cols, frame->rows);
- size = new cv::Size(ResizeDeminsions.X, ResizeDeminsions.Y);
- VideoTexture = UTexture2D::CreateTransient(VideoSize.X, VideoSize.Y);
- VideoTexture->UpdateResource();
- VideoUpdateTextureRegion = new FUpdateTextureRegion2D(0, 0, 0, 0, VideoSize.X, VideoSize.Y);
-
- //Initialize data array
- Data.Init(FColor(0, 0, 0, 255), VideoSize.X * VideoSize.Y);
- }
- }
tick() 函数中进行更新,并不断的调用 onNextVideoFrame(), 这个在后面的蓝图中,需要用到。 updateframe() 读数据,updatetexture()更新videotexture。
- // Called every frame
- void AWebcamReader::Tick( float DeltaTime )
- {
- Super::Tick( DeltaTime );
-
- RefreshTimer += DeltaTime;
- if (isStreamOpen && RefreshTimer >= 1.0f / RefreshRate)
- {
- RefreshTimer -= 1.0f / RefreshRate;
- UpdateFrame();
- UpdateTexture();
- OnNextVideoFrame();
- }
-
- }
5, 新建一个material, 作为后期渲染的材质(material domain 设置为 post process), 按如下蓝图,实现对人物意外的背景色的剔除。其中需要注意 创建的texture parameter,这个在后面的作为 settextureparametervalue 的 paramer name. 如下蓝图的主要思想就是对pix 的RGB 进行分流,背景色 使用sceneTexture, 而人物保持不变. 此处背景是绿色,而绿色,人物的皮肤颜色,或者白色衣服等玩家可能出现颜色的G分量都比较大(),综合就采用相加的方法,作为if判断的A变量。背景色 R+ G 比较小,而人物的颜色比较大。从而区分

6. 编译上面的类之后,回到UE4 的编辑中,新建一个 webCamReader 的蓝图类

7, 使用上面的材质,创建 dynamic material instance,然后动态改变其 parameter value。post process 是添加的 component, 用于后期剔除人物背景。
set unbound 勾选,可以实现全屏的后期效果。这些可以在unreal 文档中查询到,不再叙述。

8, 点击 play 就可以实现本文刚开始的功能了!
