The image processing of Shi Shiing in the present embodiment, for example, both can work as when being installed in storage card MC in the personal computer 20, perhaps, when digital still video camera 10 is connected with personal computer 20 through telecommunication cables, also can works as and pass through keyboard etc. and indicate by the user and implement when carrying out image processing.
Personal computer 20 (CPU200) when the beginning image processing, is obtained selected decorative picture data FD, temporarily is stored in (step S100) among the RAM201.The selection of decorative picture data FD for example, also can be carried out on digital still video camera 10, perhaps, also can be on personal computer 20 from be stored in the decorative picture data the HDD202 in advance, select, perhaps, also can select through network through keyboard etc.In addition, decorative picture data FD also can have a plurality of allocation positions that are used to dispose a plurality of photographed images data GD, but in the present embodiment, for the purpose of easy explanation, explanation is attached to situation among the decorative picture data FD with 1 allocation position with single (1) photographed images data GD.
Decorative picture data FD for example is and the view data of the corresponding frames of theme such as season, activity, the view data of album (album of paintings or calligraphy) perhaps to be called graphical data (the decoration data of (illustratdata) to photographed images.Decorative picture data FD, for example, (when frame buffer launches) expresses form shown in Figure 5 when output image.In the example of Fig. 5, as with the frame of season, illustrate the calendar frame as theme, be ready for the allocation position that attaches photographed images data GD.
In the form of the decorative picture file FF that possesses decorative picture data FD and layout control information L1, handle decorative picture data FD.Decorative picture file FF, for example, possesses file structure shown in Figure 6, the allocation position information that layout control information L1 regulation will dispose photographed images data GD (for example, coordinate information), and the configuration sized (adjustment size) of the photographed images data GD in the specified configuration position, to the picture quality adjustment information GC (please refer to Fig. 8 and Fig. 9) of photographed images data GD of configuration.
Further α channel data (channel data) is recorded and narrated in layout control information L1.The α channel data, for example, be (for example relatively to adjust view data that image is positioned at upper layer side when synthetic, decorative picture data FD) and the view data that is positioned at lower layer side (for example, photographed images data GD) in each gray-level value (R, G, B data value), is used to determine to be positioned at the data of the view data of lower layer side to the permeability of upper layer side view data.For example, if R, G, B data for the upper layer side view data are applied with the form of factor alpha, then R, G, the B data for the lower layer side view data are applied with the form of coefficient (1-α), lower layer side view data (not seeing through) when this value is 255, in composograph, do not occur, lower layer side view data (seeing through) completely when this value is 0, in composograph, occurs.By with the arbitrary value in 0～255 the scope, can access the decorative effect of semi-transparent mistake.
Then, CPU200 obtains selected photographed images data GD, temporarily is stored in (step S110) among the RAM201.The selection of photographed images data GD for example, also can be carried out on digital still video camera 10, perhaps, also can be on personal computer 20 carries out through keyboard etc.Generally, as stating, the decorative picture data FD that selects (decision) to use follows, and selection will be configured in the photographed images data GD on each allocation position of decorative picture data FD.
Photographed images data GD for example, as shown in Figure 7, also can form 1 photographed images file GF with image processing control information GI.Image processing control information GI recorded and narrated in header cell in the time of both can having worked as photographed images data GD and have header cell, perhaps, also can associate by the 3rd additional association data and photographed images data GD.
CPU200, layout control information L1 retrieving images quality adjustment information GC from the decorative picture file FF (decorative picture data FD) that obtains, in the time can retrieving picture quality adjustment information GC (step S120 is a "Yes"), from photographed images file GF (photographed images data GD) the retrieving images processing control information GI (step S130) that obtains.
CPU200, in the time can retrieving image processing control information GI (step S130 is a "Yes") from the photographed images data GD that obtains, make and handle the S1 that transfers to Fig. 4, in the time can not retrieving image processing control information GI (step S130 is a "No"), make and handle the S2 that transfers to Fig. 4 from the photographed images data GD that obtains.
CPU200, layout control information LI retrieving images quality adjustment information GC from the decorative picture file FF (decorative picture data FD) that obtains, in the time can not retrieving picture quality adjustment information GC (step S120 is a "No"), from photographed images file GF (photographed images data GD) the retrieving images processing control information GI (step S140) that obtains.
CPU200, in the time can retrieving image processing control information GI (step S140 is a "Yes") from the photographed images data GD that obtains, make and handle the S3 that transfers to Fig. 4, in the time can not retrieving image processing control information GI (step S140 is a "No"), make and handle the S4 that transfers to Fig. 4 from the photographed images data GD that obtains.
Go on to say with reference to Fig. 4, CPU200 when making processing transfer to S1, implements the picture quality adjustment with image processing control information GI and picture quality adjustment information GC and handles (step S150).
The example of picture quality adjustment information GC is described with reference to Fig. 9 here.In the example of Fig. 8, " season " becomes the theme of decorative picture data FD, and be for example, suitable with calendar frame shown in Figure 5.As picture quality adjustment information GC, about contrast, lightness (brightness), colourity, definition (sharpness), each picture quality of memory colour (colour of skin, green, sky) is adjusted the tendency of parameter regulation correcting value or correction.For example, the memory colour (green, sky) that the decorative picture data FD in April is set at " standard " then all is set at " by force " in the decorative picture data FD in July, as the content of the green of emphasizing summer, sky.
On the other hand, in the example of Fig. 9, " activity " becomes the theme of decorative picture data FD, for example, birthday, Christmas Day, fireworks conference, celebration of marriage is ready to as theme.As picture quality adjustment information GC, about contrast, lightness, colourity, definition, memory colour (colour of skin, green, sky), each picture quality adjustment parameter regulation correcting value that removes denoising or the tendency of correction.For example, in " the fireworks conference " that will photograph under dark photography conditions picture quality adjustment information GC as the decorative picture data FD of theme, noise removes " choosing ".In with the picture quality adjustment information GC of celebration of marriage, set " soft-focus " and adjust parameter as the picture quality of definition as the decorative picture data FD of theme again.
Image processing control information GI for example, has content shown in Figure 10.In image processing control information GI, the photography scene during with photography is distinguished into 11 patterns, and to the photography scene corresponding with each pattern, regulation is adjusted the correcting value of parameter or the tendency of correction about the picture quality of the best.
Image processing control information GI is the image capture conditions of setting accordingly with the studio face in when photography (picture quality regularization condition), to this, picture quality adjustment information GC is the image capture conditions of setting accordingly with the theme of decorative picture data FD (picture quality regularization condition), and the two is inequality.So, there are two information GI, the competing situation of GC, as two information GI, GC and when depositing, need decision suitably synthetic two information GI, GC, perhaps, only use a side information.
In the present embodiment, CPU200 is with synthetic table composograph processing control information GI and picture quality adjustment information GC shown in Figure 11.In the example of Figure 11, composograph processing control information GI and picture quality adjustment information GC under the condition that equates, but both can make image processing control information GI preferential, also can make picture quality adjustment information GC preferential.When synthesizing correcting value (tendency of correction) with two information GI, GC decision, CPU200 uses the synthetic correcting value (tendency of correction) of decision, photographed images data GD is implemented the picture quality adjustment handle.
Specifically describe now with the picture quality adjustment of image processing control information GI and picture quality adjustment information GC and handle.CPU200 with pixel unit scan camera shooting view data GD, obtains the image statistics value (image quality characteristics parameter value) of the characteristic of expression photographed images data GD.As the image quality characteristics parameter value, for example, try to achieve value about the parameter that is called contrast, definition, lightness.Personal computer 20, to each image quality characteristics parameter value, the benchmark image mass parameter value that will become benchmark in advance is stored among the HDD202, CPU200, to eliminate or to reduce the mode of the deviation of each the image quality characteristics parameter value that obtains by parsing and benchmark image mass parameter value, decision is promptly resolved correcting value to the correcting value of each image quality characteristics parameter value.
CPU200 uses each picture quality that obtains from image processing control information GI and picture quality adjustment information GC to adjust the synthetic correcting value (tendency of correction) of parameter, and the parsing correcting value of decision is revised.That is,, increase and decrease the parsing correcting value that determines, obtain revising correcting value by with synthetic correcting value.
CPU200 implements the picture quality adjustment with the correction correcting value of obtaining to each photographed images data GD and handles.The picture quality adjustment is handled, for example, about shade, highlighted (highlighting), each image quality parameter that lightness (brightness), contrast, color balance degree, memory colour are proofreaied and correct is implemented with the input level of the RGB composition that makes photographed images data GD and the tint ramp (S curve) of output level correspondence.In handling with the picture quality adjustment of tint ramp, with the synthetic correcting value (tendency of correction) of each picture quality that obtains from image processing control information GI and picture quality adjustment information GC being adjusted parameter, each composition about RGB composition or R, G, B changes each tint ramp.
Specifically, in tint ramp, sample plot, about each image quality parameter, the point of correction correcting value is used in decision, revises correcting value by using, and input-output characteristic is changed in passing through a little of the tint ramp of change in this point.So, if for photographed images data GD, use after changing R, G, each tint ramp of B, then, carry out the input-output conversion about each composition of the RGB of photographed images data GD, obtained adjusting the photographed images data GD of picture quality.
If about to the obtaining of the parsing correcting value of each image quality parameter, handle (automated graphics quality adjustment processing) with the picture quality adjustment of revising correcting value and conclude, then for example, carry out particularly as follows.In addition, fiducial value refers to benchmark image mass parameter value.
About contrast, shade (shadowing), highlighted (highlighting), from photographed images Data Detection shadow spots and high bright spot, obtain the parsing correcting value according to fiducial value, implement histogrammic expansion with the correction correcting value.Again, try to achieve the parsing correcting value, with revising correcting value change (correction) tint ramp according to the luminance standard deviation.
About lightness (brightness), according to brightness (luminance) value that calculates from each zone that view data is divided into 14, process decision chart picture dark (under-exposure) still bright (over-exposed), obtain the parsing correcting value according to fiducial value, implement the correction of tint ramp with revising correcting value.
About the color balance degree, deviation from each histogram analysis color balance degree of the R composition of view data, G composition, B composition, obtain each from each tint ramp of R composition, G composition, B composition according to fiducial value and resolve correcting value, revise correcting value with each and alleviate color seepage (color seepage) each composition of RGB.In addition, when in picture quality adjustment information GC or image processing control information GI, when specifying intentional color seepage (color seepage), preferably do not carry out the automatic adjustment of color balance degree.
About colourity, the colourity of analysis of image data distributes, and correcting value is resolved in decision according to fiducial value, and further correcting value is revised in decision, emphasizes colourity.So the view data of low colourity etc. emphasizes that the level of colourity is high more.
About definition (sharpness), analysis diagram is as the intensity distributions at data frequency and edge, dosage (parsing correcting value) according to the fuzzy mask (unsharp mask) of fiducial value decision, further correcting value is revised in decision, implements fuzzy mask with the correction correcting value (dosage) of decision and carries out the picture quality adjustment.According to frequency distribution decision fiducial value, for high-frequency view data (landscape etc.), reference value gets smaller, for low frequency view data (personage etc.), it is big that fiducial value becomes.Again, the dosage of fuzzy mask is relevant with the edge strength distribution, and for the view data with fuzzy behaviour etc., its suitable quantitative change is big.
When S2 was transferred in processing, CPU200 carried out the picture quality adjustment with picture quality adjustment information GC and handles (step S160).More particularly, use, photographed images data GD is carried out the picture quality adjustment handle about adjust the correcting value (tendency of correction) of parameter as each picture quality of picture quality adjustment information GC regulation.When as picture quality adjustment information GC, record and narrate the minimizing degree of the deviation of each image quality characteristics parameter value and benchmark image mass parameter value, when being the suitable level of automated graphics quality adjustment amount, according to revising resolving correcting value, as revising correcting value by the minimizing degree of picture quality adjustment information GC regulation.On the other hand, when as picture quality adjustment information GC, when recording and narrating the occurrence of each image quality parameter, also can be with the value recorded and narrated intactly as the correction correcting value.That is, need not picture quality adjustment information GC directly be used as revise correcting value by resolving the parsing correcting value that photographed images data GD obtains.When with picture quality adjustment information GC, can be as the correction correcting value of the theme that is suitable for decorative picture data FD.
When S3 was transferred in processing, CPU200 carried out the picture quality adjustment with image processing control information GI and handles (step S170).More particularly, use, photographed images data GD is carried out the picture quality adjustment handle about adjust the correcting value (tendency of correction) of parameter as each picture quality of image processing control information GI regulation.When as image processing control information GI, record and narrate the minimizing degree of the deviation of each image quality characteristics parameter value and benchmark image mass parameter value, when being the suitable level of automated graphics quality adjustment amount, according to revising resolving correcting value, as revising correcting value by the minimizing degree of image processing control information GI regulation.On the other hand, when as image processing control information GI, when recording and narrating the occurrence of each image quality parameter, also can be with the value recorded and narrated intactly as the correction correcting value.That is, need not image processing control information GI directly be used as revise correcting value by resolving the parsing correcting value that photographed images data GD obtains.When with image processing control information GI, can be as the correction correcting value of reflection cameraman intention.
When S4 was transferred in processing, CPU200 does not carry out the picture quality adjustment to the photographed images data to be handled.
CPU200 according to synthetic (coincidence) decorative picture data FD of layout control information LI and photographed images data GD, generates output image data (step S180).CPU200, when handling to carry out the picture quality adjustment with a certain at least side among picture quality adjustment information GC and the image processing control information GI, perhaps do not carry out the photographed images data GD that the picture quality adjustment is handled, when having the change request from the user (step S182 is a "Yes"), photographed images data GD is implemented desired change (step S184), transfer to step S190.The input unit input of the keyboard by for example being connected with personal computer 20, mouse etc. is from user's change request, as the change request, for example, comprises the change request that the picture quality of allocation position to the photographed images data, photographed images data is adjusted.In addition, also can carry out the configuration again of photographed images data as requested.
For example, following carrying out photographed images data GD synthesizing with respect to decorative picture data FD.CPU200, explanation is about the allocation position recorded and narrated in layout control information LI and the script file of configuration sized, according to allocation position and the configuration sized of explanation results decision photographed images data with respect to decorative picture data FD, again, according to the gray-level value of α channel data decision decorative picture data FD, synthetic (coincidence) two view data.CPU200, adjusts the size of (dwindle or amplify) each photographed images data according to the configuration sized of the allocation position of recording and narrating in the script file.
The synthetic processing of two images that undertaken by CPU200 for example, can be added up R, G, the B value of each photographed images data by the value of using the α channel data of having stated, and R, the G, the B value that obtain output image data are implemented.Promptly, by about the zone of photographed images in output image (synthetic after image), occurring, do not hinder the mode of reproducing photographed images data GD with decorative picture data FD, make that the α channel data is 0, about the zone (decorative zones of decorative picture in output image, occurring, the frame zone), makes that the α channel data is 255, do not allow to reproduce photographed images.
CPU200 outputs to printer driver, display driver (step S190) with output image data, finishes this handling procedure.In printer driver, implement RGB-CMYK look conversion process, halftone process etc. with look-up table etc., for example, output image data is outputed to printer 30 as the raster data of attaching print control command.
As described above, according to personal computer 20 as the image processing apparatus relevant with the 1st embodiment, can use picture quality adjustment information GC enforcement picture quality adjustment processing to being attached to the photographed images data GD among the decorative picture data FD by the layout control information LI regulation of decorative picture data FD.So, as picture quality adjustment information GC, be suitable for by regulation decorative picture data FD image (image), theme to the correcting value of photographed images data GD, the tendency of correction, can allow the picture quality of image, theme and photographed images data GD of decorative picture data FD adjusts that result is consistent, coupling or be fit to.As a result, can access the good output image of outward appearance.
Again, even if in the situation of adding relatedly to the image processing control information GI of photographed images data GD specify image treatment conditions, the correcting value (proofreading and correct tendency) that also can pass through synthetic correcting value by image processing control information GI regulation (correction tendency) and be stipulated by image adjustment information GC, enforcement picture quality is mediated reason.So to photographed images data GD, the picture quality adjustment that can apply the scene that is suitable for photographing is handled, and can implement to be suitable for the image of decorative picture data FD, the picture quality adjustment of theme is handled.As a result, be much less as photographed images, also can access the good output result of outward appearance who obtains mediation as the composograph of decorative picture and photographed images.

Image processing apparatus in the various embodiments described above also can be the digital still video camera.At this moment, also the view data behind photographed images data and the decorative picture data integrator can be exported as the photographed images data.For example, be used as the decorative picture data, then can access the photographed images of the single-point image that is accompanied by character as the image after synthetic if will give the frame of single-point (onepoint) image of character.
The 3rd embodiment:
With reference to Figure 16, the summary of the function formation of the personal computer 20 (CPU200) relevant with the 3rd embodiment is described.Figure 16 is the functional block diagram of the expression personal computer 20 (CPU200) relevant with the 3rd embodiment.In addition, among the layout control information LI that in the later embodiment of the 3rd embodiment, uses, except allocation position and configuration sized, also stipulated priority to the correcting value that is configured in the configuration image data GD on each allocation position, level of corrections, each allocation position with respect to the configuration image data GD of decorative picture data FD.
Personal computer 20 (CPU200) possesses from a plurality of photographed images data GD of input to be selected to be attached to the photographed images data selection unit of a plurality of photographed images data GD the decorative picture data and to resolve selected photographed images data, obtains the photographed images data parsing unit of the image quality characteristics parameter of presentation video mass property.CPU200 possesses the layout control information that obtains layout control information LI from selected decorative picture data FD and obtains the unit and with the layout control information LI setting that obtains the picture quality of the picture quality adjustment level of photographed images data GD is adjusted the level set unit.
CPU200 possesses the picture quality adjustment unit, it is used in photographed images data selection unit selected photographed images data GD and the analysis result in photographed images data parsing unit and layout control information LI and adjusts the picture quality adjustment level of setting in the level set unit in picture quality, and each photographed images data GD is implemented the picture quality adjustment.CPU200 possesses the output image data generation unit, and it will be attached among the decorative picture data FD by each the photographed images data GD through the picture quality adjustment in the picture quality adjustment unit according to layout control information LI, generate the output view data.Again, CPU200 possesses user's adjustment unit, its picture quality adjustment processing to being used in the analysis result in the photographed images data parsing unit and implementing with the picture quality adjustment level that layout control information LI sets, the enforcement reflection is through the further picture quality adjustment processing of the user preferences of input block input.Again, user's adjustment unit also can be attached to sticking position, the attaching size of the photographed images data GD among the decorative picture data FD according to layout control information LI change.
With reference to Figure 17～Figure 21, the image processing of implementing is described in the personal computer 20 relevant with the 3rd embodiment.Figure 17 is the flow chart that is illustrated in the handling procedure of the image processing of implementing in the personal computer 20 relevant with the 3rd embodiment.Figure 18 is the allocation position of the photographed images data in the pattern ground expression decorative picture data and the key diagram of configuration sized.Figure 19 is the key diagram of the file structure of the pattern ground expression decorative picture file FF that possesses decorative picture data FD and layout control information LI.Figure 20 is to the key diagram of an embodiment of the level of corrections of each allocation position of stipulating in layout control information LI among expression the 3rd embodiment.Figure 21 is the key diagram of the file structure of the pattern ground expression photographed images file that possesses photographed images data GD and image processing control information GI.In addition, are the states that are illustrated in conceptually when launching on the frame buffer with respect to the allocation position of the photographed images data of decorative picture data FD, the file structure of each file also conceptually expression be stored in state in the memory.
The image processing of Shi Shiing in the present embodiment, for example, both can work as when being installed in storage card MC in the personal computer 20, perhaps, when digital still video camera 10 is connected with personal computer 20 through telecommunication cables, also can works as and pass through keyboard etc. and indicate by the user and implement when carrying out image processing.
Personal computer 20 (CPU200) when beginning during image processing, is obtained selected decorative picture data FD and selected a plurality of photographed images data GD temporarily is stored in (step S200) among the RAM201.The selection of decorative picture data FD for example, also can be carried out on digital still video camera 10, perhaps, also can be on personal computer 20 from be stored in the decorative picture data the HDD202 in advance, select, perhaps, also can select through network through keyboard etc.The selection of photographed images data GD for example, also can be carried out on digital still video camera 10, perhaps, also can be on personal computer 20 carries out through keyboard etc.Generally, the decorative picture data FD that selects (decision) to use, then, selection will be configured in a plurality of photographed images data of each allocation position of decorative picture data FD.
Decorative picture data FD is that for example, the vivid data of the image of photograph frame (image) data, album (album of paintings or calligraphy) perhaps are called the decoration data to the explanation data of photographed images.Decorative picture data FD (when frame buffer launches) when output image possesses form shown in Figure 180, possesses the allocation position A～C that is used to attach the photographed images data.Exchange decorative picture data FD in the form of the decorative picture file FF that possesses decorative picture data FD and layout control information L1.Decorative picture file FF, for example, possesses file structure shown in Figure 19, the allocation position information that layout control information L1 regulation will dispose photographed images data GD (for example, coordinate information), and about each allocation position A～C, specified configuration size (adjustment size), to the level of corrections of the photographed images data that disposed.According to the size of the allocation position on the decorative picture data FD, allocation position area decision level of corrections, for example,, stipulate high level of corrections near the allocation position at the center of decorative picture data FD, the allocation position that the allocation position area is big.
Further the α channel data is recorded and narrated in layout control information L1.The α channel data, for example, be (for example relatively to adjust view data that image is positioned at upper layer side when synthetic, decorative picture data FD) and the view data that is positioned at lower layer side (for example, photographed images data GD) in each gray-level value (R, G, B data value), is used to determine to be positioned at the data of the view data of lower layer side to the permeability of upper layer side view data.For example, if R, G, B data for the upper layer side view data are applied with the form of factor alpha, then (1～α) form is applied with coefficient for R, G, the B data of lower layer side view data, lower layer side view data (not seeing through) when this value is 255, in composograph, do not occur, lower layer side view data (seeing through) completely when this value is 0, in composograph, occurs.By with the arbitrary value in 0～255 the scope, can access the decorative effect of semi-transparent mistake.
CPU200 obtains layout control information LI (step S210) from the decorative picture file FF that obtains, and resolves selected each photographed images data GD, and correcting value (step S220) is resolved in decision.The following describes the parsing correcting value, that is, and the decision of automated graphics quality adjustment amount order.
CPU200 with pixel unit scan camera shooting view data GD, obtains the image statistics value (image quality characteristics parameter value) of the characteristic of expression photographed images data GD.As the image quality characteristics parameter value, for example, try to achieve value about the such parameter of contrast, definition (sharpness), lightness (brightness).Personal computer 20, to each image quality characteristics parameter, the benchmark image mass parameter value that will become benchmark in advance is stored among the HDD202, CPU200, to eliminate or to reduce each the image quality characteristics parameter value that obtains by parsing and the mode of the deviation between the benchmark image mass parameter value, decision is promptly resolved correcting value to the correcting value of each image quality characteristics parameter value.
When correcting value is resolved in decision, when photographed images data GD and image processing control information GI are associated, also can implement with image processing control information GI.Image processing control information GI, for example, as shown in figure 21, also can form 1 photographed images file GF with photographed images data GD, when having header cell, photographed images data GD also can record and narrate in header cell, further, also can associate by the 3rd associated data and photographed images data GD.When as image processing control information GI, record and narrate the minimizing degree of the deviation between each image quality characteristics parameter value and the benchmark image mass parameter value, when being the suitable level of automated graphics quality adjustment amount, replace the minimizing degree be predetermined and according to resolving correcting value by the minimizing degree decision of image processing control information GI regulation.On the other hand, when as image processing control information GI, when recording and narrating the occurrence of each image quality parameter, also can be with the value recorded and narrated as revising correcting value.When with image processing control information GI, can be as the parsing correcting value of reflection cameraman intention.
CPU200 judges whether stipulated level of corrections (step S230) in the layout control information LI that obtains.Specifically, retrieval layout control information LI judges whether there is level of corrections regulation label.CPU200, when (step S230 is a "Yes"), level of corrections correction according to the rules is to the parsing correcting value of each photographed images data when having stipulated level of corrections in judging the layout control information LI obtaining, and correcting value (step S240) is revised in decision.
In the 3rd embodiment, for example, as shown in figure 20 about each allocation position regulation level of corrections, order is 80% of parsing correcting value to the correction correcting value of the photographed images data of allocation position A, order is 100% of parsing correcting value to the correction correcting value of the photographed images data of allocation position B, and order is 70% of parsing correcting value to the correction correcting value of the photographed images data of allocation position C.As seen from Figure 18, in the 1st embodiment, allocation position B is positioned at the central authorities of decorative picture data LD and the allocation position area is also maximum, is eye-catching allocation position easily.Therefore, order is 100% about the level of corrections of allocation position B in layout control information LI, and order is to the picture quality adjustment level that is configured in the photographed images data on allocation position B allocation position A, the C height than other.As a result, the photographed images data that are configured on the allocation position B are become the more showy photographed images data of the photographed images data on the allocation position A, the C that are configured in other.
CPU200 implements the picture quality adjustment with the correction correcting value of decision to photographed images data GD and handles (step S250).Picture quality is adjusted, for example, about shade, highlighted (highlighting), each image quality parameter that lightness, contrast, color balance degree, memory colour are proofreaied and correct is implemented with the input level of the RGB composition that adds photographed images data GD and the tint ramp (S curve) of output level correspondence.When adjusting picture quality, will be used for each composition change 1 tint ramp separately to the correcting value of respectively revising of each image quality parameter about RGB with tint ramp.Specifically, in tint ramp, sample plot, about each image quality parameter, the point of correction correcting value is used in decision, revises correcting value by using, and input-output characteristic is changed in passing through a little of the tint ramp of change in this point.So, if for photographed images data GD, use after changing R, G, each tint ramp of B, then, carry out the input-output conversion about each composition of the RGB of photographed images data GD, obtained adjusting the photographed images data GD of picture quality.
If about to the obtaining of the parsing correcting value of each picture quality, handle (automated graphics quality adjustment processing) with the picture quality adjustment of revising correcting value and conclude, then for example, carry out particularly as follows.In addition, fiducial value refers to the picture quality reference parameter value.
About contrast, shade, highlighted, from photographed images Data Detection shadow spots and high bright spot, obtain the parsing correcting value according to fiducial value, implement histogrammic expansion with the correction correcting value.Again, try to achieve the parsing correcting value, with revising correcting value change (correction) tint ramp according to brightness (luminance) standard deviation.
About lightness, according to the brightness value that calculates from each zone that view data is divided into 14, process decision chart picture dark (under-exposure) still bright (over-exposed) is obtained the parsing correcting value according to fiducial value, implements the correction of tint ramp with revising correcting value.
About the color balance degree, deviation from each histogram analysis color balance degree of the R composition of view data, G composition, B composition, obtain each from each histogram of R composition, G composition, B composition according to fiducial value and resolve correcting value, revise correcting value with each and alleviate color seepage (color seepage) each composition of RGB.In addition, when in picture quality adjustment information GC or image processing control information GI, when specifying intentional color seepage (color seepage), preferably do not carry out the automatic adjustment of color balance degree.
About colourity, the colourity of analysis of image data distributes, and correcting value is resolved in decision according to fiducial value, and further correcting value is revised in decision, emphasizes colourity.So the view data of low colourity etc. emphasizes that the level of colourity is high more.
About definition (sharpness), analysis diagram is as the intensity distributions at data frequency and edge, dosage (parsing correcting value) according to the fuzzy mask (unsharp mask) of fiducial value decision, further correcting value is revised in decision, implements fuzzy mask with the correction correcting value (dosage) of decision and carries out the picture quality adjustment.According to frequency distribution decision fiducial value, for high-frequency view data (landscape etc.), reference value gets smaller, for low frequency view data (personage etc.), it is big that fiducial value becomes.Again, the dosage of fuzzy mask is relevant with the edge strength distribution, and for the view data with fuzzy behaviour etc., its suitable quantitative change is big.
CPU200 not during the regulation level of corrections when (step S230 is a "No"), handles (step S260) with the picture quality adjustment that the parsing correcting value of previous decision is implemented to have stated in judging the layout control information LI obtaining.
CPU200, when finishing to handle (step S250) or during with the picture quality adjustment processing (step S260) of the parsing correcting value of decision with the picture quality adjustment of the correction correcting value of decision, according to synthetic (coincidence) decorative picture data GD of layout control information LI, generate output image data (step S270).
Synthetic with respect to the photographed images data GD of decorative picture data FD, for example, following carrying out.CPU200, explanation is about the allocation position recorded and narrated in layout control information LI and the script file of configuration sized, according to allocation position and the configuration sized of explanation results decision with respect to the photographed images data of decorative picture data FD, again, according to the gray-level value of α channel data decision decorative picture data FD, synthetic (coincidence) two view data.CPU200, adjusts the size of (dwindle or amplify) each photographed images data according to the configuration sized of each allocation position of recording and narrating in the script file.
The synthetic processing of two images that undertaken by CPU200 for example, can be added up R, G, the B value of each photographed images data by the value of using the α channel data of having stated, and R, the G, the B value that obtain output image data are implemented.Promptly, by about the zone of photographed images in output image (synthetic after image), occurring, do not hinder the mode of reproducing photographed images data GD with decorative picture data FD, make that the α channel data is 0, about the zone (decorative zones of decorative picture in output image, occurring, the frame zone), makes that the α channel data is 255, do not allow to reproduce photographed images.
CPU200 judges whether import user's request of changing (step S280) from the input unit of keyboard, mouse etc., when judging that not importing the user changes request (step S2800 is a "No"), transfers to step S190.
CPU200 has imported the user when judgement and has changed when request (step S280 is a "Yes"), implements by the selection of the photographed images data of user's appointment with by the change of the allocation position of user's appointment, the processing of implementation step S230～step S270.As a result, about being configured in photographed images data in the decorative picture data, the allocation position of photographed images data in the decorative picture data, can reflect every user's hobby.
CPU200 outputs to printer driver, display driver (step S290) with output image data, finishes this handling procedure.In printer driver, implement RGB-CMYK look conversion process, halftone process etc. with look-up table etc., for example, output image data is outputed to printer 30 as the raster data of attaching print control command.
As described above, according to personal computer 20 as the image processing apparatus relevant with the 3rd embodiment, can be according to the level of corrections of in layout control information LI, stipulating, change to each allocation position that is configured on the decorative picture data FD on the correcting value of photographed images data GD.So, the enough layout control information LI of energy, according to each allocation position, the degree that change is adjusted the picture quality of photographed images data GD is carried out all changes to the outward appearance that is configured in the photographed images data GD on each allocation position.As to adjusting the change sample attitude of degree, for example, be the sample attitude that makes the picture quality the highest (outward appearance is good) of eye-catching photographed images data with the picture quality of the corresponding photographed images data of each allocation position GD.
Generally, near the center of decorative picture data FD, configuration sized is also big with eye-catching photographed images data configuration.Eye-catching photographed images data with this specific character, with other photographed images data than being easier to make the good and bad showy of picture quality, from this viewpoint, making the degree height to the picture quality adjustment of eye-catching photographed images data also is an advantage.
The 4th embodiment:
With reference to Figure 22 and Figure 23, the image processing of implementing in the personal computer relevant with the 4th embodiment is described.Figure 22 is the flow chart of the handling procedure of the image processing implemented in the expression personal computer relevant with the 4th embodiment.Figure 23 is to the key diagram of an embodiment of the correcting value of each allocation position of stipulating in layout control information LI among expression the 4th embodiment.In addition, identical because about the formation of the personal computer relevant with the formation of the personal computer 20 relevant with the 1st embodiment with the 4th embodiment, so additional identical label omits its explanation.
Below, the image processing of implementing in the personal computer 20 relevant with the 4th embodiment is described.
The image processing of Shi Shiing in the present embodiment, for example, also can work as when being installed in storage card MC in the personal computer 20, perhaps, when being connected with personal computer 20 through telecommunication cable, digital still video camera 10 begins, perhaps, also can work as when carrying out image processing by user's indication and implement through keyboard etc.
Personal computer 20 (CPU200) when the beginning image processing, is obtained selected decorative picture data FD and selected a plurality of photographed images data GD, temporarily is stored in (step S300) among the RAM201.The selection of decorative picture data FD for example, also can be carried out on digital still video camera 10, perhaps, also can be on personal computer 20 from be stored in the decorative picture data the HDD202 in advance, select, perhaps, also can select through network through keyboard etc.In addition, the selection of photographic image data GD for example, also can be carried out on digital still video camera 10, perhaps, also can be on personal computer 20 carries out through keyboard etc.Usually, the decorative picture data FD that selects (decision) to use follows, and selection will be configured in a plurality of photographed images data on each allocation position of decorative picture data FD.
The form of decorative picture data FD as stating, among the 4th embodiment, about the correcting value of each allocation position A～C of in layout control information LI, stipulating, for example, as shown in figure 23.According to the size of the allocation position on the decorative picture data FD, allocation position area decision correcting value, for example,, stipulate big correcting value near the allocation position at the center of decorative picture data FD, the allocation position that the allocation position area is big.As stating, the α channel data is recorded and narrated in layout control information LI.
CPU200 obtains layout control information LI (step S310) from the decorative picture file FF that obtains, and judges whether stipulated correcting value (step S320) in the layout control information LI that obtains.Specifically, retrieval layout control information LI judges whether exist the alignment gauge calibration to sign.CPU200, when having stipulated correcting value in judging the layout control information LI that is obtaining (step S320 is a "Yes"), correcting value is according to the rules implemented picture quality to each photographed images data GD and is handled.
In the 4th embodiment, for example,, about each allocation position each picture quality is adjusted parameter regulation correcting value as shown in figure 23 to possessing the decorative picture data FD of allocation position shown in Figure 180.In addition, in the example of Figure 23, use the sensation language regulation correcting value of the easy understanding corresponding in advance, obviously also can stipulate with numerical value with numerical value.Photographed images data to allocation position A, correcting value about contrast, lightness, colourity and definition required standard, photographed images data to allocation position B, about contrast, colourity and the strong correcting value of definition regulation, about correcting value to the lightness required standard, to the photographed images data of allocation position C, about the correcting value of contrast, colourity and definition required standard, about the dark correcting value of lightness regulation.
As understandable from Figure 18, allocation position B is positioned at the central authorities of decorative picture data LD and the allocation position area is also maximum, is eye-catching allocation position easily.Therefore, in layout control information LI, make correcting value maximum about allocation position B, little about the correcting value of other allocation position A, C.As a result, the photographed images data that are configured on the allocation position B are become the photographed images data on the allocation position A, the C that are configured in other, contrast, colourity and definition are strong, more showy photographed images data.
Picture quality adjustment with the correcting value of stipulating is handled, and as having illustrated among the 3rd embodiment, implements with tint ramp basically.
CPU200 in judging the layout control information LI obtaining not (step S320 is a "No") during the regulation level of corrections, does not implement the picture quality adjustment to the photographed images data and handles.
CPU200, when the picture quality adjustment processing (step S330) that finishes with the correcting value of regulation, perhaps do not implement intactly to transfer to when the picture quality adjustment is handled step S320, according to synthetic (coincidence) decorative picture data FD of layout control information LI and photographed images data GD, generate output image data (step S340).
Synthetic with respect to the photographed images data GD of decorative picture data FD according to layout control information LI, carries out with the order that illustrates among the 3rd embodiment.CPU200 judges whether imported user's request of changing (step S350) from the input unit of keyboard, mouse etc., when judging that not importing the user changes request (step S350 is a "No"), transfers to step S360.
CPU200 has imported the user when judgement and has changed when request (step S350 is a "Yes"), implements by the selection of the photographed images data of user's appointment with by the change of the allocation position of user's appointment, the processing of implementation step S320～step S340.As a result, about being configured in photographed images data in the decorative picture data, the allocation position of photographed images data in the decorative picture data, can reflect every user's hobby.
CPU200 outputs to printer 30 (printer driver), display 25 (step S360) with output image data, finishes this handling procedure.
As described above like that, according to personal computer 20 as the image processing apparatus relevant with the 4th embodiment, can implement the picture quality adjustment that is configured in the photographed images data GD on each allocation position on the decorative picture data FD is handled according to the correcting value of in layout control information LI, stipulating.So, the enough layout control information LI of energy, according to each allocation position, the degree that change is adjusted the picture quality of photographed images data GD is carried out all changes to the outward appearance that is configured in the photographed images data GD on each allocation position.More particularly, by increasing, can make the outward appearance of the output image of eye-catching photographed images data become good to the correcting value of certain at least in contrast, lightness, colourity and the definition of eye-catching photographed images data.
Generally, near the center of decorative picture data, configuration sized is also big with eye-catching photographed images data configuration.Eye-catching photographed images data with this specific character, with other photographed images data than being easier to make the good and bad showy of picture quality, from this viewpoint, making the correction quantitative change to eye-catching photographed images data greatly also is an advantage.
The 5th embodiment:
With reference to Figure 24～Figure 26, the image processing of implementing in the personal computer relevant with the 5th embodiment is described.Figure 24 is the flow chart of the handling procedure of the image processing implemented in the expression personal computer relevant with the 5th embodiment.Figure 25 is that expression is used among the 5th embodiment to determine to the order of the relative importance value of each allocation position and the key diagram of determination result.Figure 26 is the key diagram of the example of expression during with a plurality of decorative picture data FD.In addition, identical because about the formation of the personal computer relevant with the formation of the personal computer 20 relevant with the 1st embodiment with the 5th embodiment, so additional identical label omits its explanation.
Below, the image processing of implementing in the personal computer 20 relevant with the 5th embodiment is described.
The image processing of Shi Shiing in the present embodiment, for example, also can work as when being installed in storage card MC in the personal computer 20, perhaps, when being connected with personal computer 20 through telecommunication cable, digital still video camera 10 begins, perhaps, also can work as when carrying out image processing by user's indication and implement through keyboard etc.
Personal computer 20 (CPU200) when the beginning image processing, is obtained selected decorative picture data FD and selected a plurality of photographed images data GD, temporarily is stored in (step S400) among the RAM201.The selection of decorative picture data FD for example, also can be carried out on digital still video camera 10, perhaps, also can be on personal computer 20 from be stored in the decorative picture data the HDD202 in advance, select, perhaps, also can select through network through keyboard etc.The selection of photographic image data GD for example, also can be carried out on digital still video camera 10, perhaps, also can be on personal computer 20 carries out through keyboard etc.Usually, the decorative picture data FD that selects (decision) to use follows, and selection will be configured in a plurality of photographed images data on each allocation position of decorative picture data FD.
The form of decorative picture data FD is different with the form of having stated, does not stipulate level of corrections, correcting value in layout control information LI, and records and narrates allocation position, configuration sized, α channel data.
CPU200, obtain layout control information LI (step S410) from the decorative picture file FF that obtains, judge that whether being used in allocation position, the configuration sized recorded and narrated among the layout control information LI that obtains determines (obtaining) priority (step S420) about each allocation position.Specifically, shown in following formula (1), obtain the absolute difference of the center of gravity of the center of gravity of allocation position and type face (perhaps the decorative picture data are all),
Allocation position=| the center of gravity of the center of gravity-type face of allocation position | (1)
In the present embodiment, with configuration sized (area of allocation position), the size of above-mentioned absolute difference is used the primary standard of the priority of making decision.For example, to possessing the decorative picture data FD of allocation position shown in Figure 180, as shown in figure 25, order is 1 about the priority of the allocation position B of maximum, and the priority that makes second largest allocation position A is 2, and the priority of the allocation position C that order is remaining is 3, allocation position C, though be in same end about the position with allocation position A, because size is minimum, priority is 3 so make.In addition, both can and set priority high along with the configuration sized increase, also can be along with allocation position is set priority high near the center of decorative picture data.This is because when configuration sized is big, when allocation position is in the center, usually becomes showy image, and by formation outward appearance preferable image quality, the impression of the whole composograph that is made of decorative picture and configuration image becomes good.
CPU200 according to the priority that obtains, determines the level of corrections to each allocation position as illustrated in fig. 25, according to the level of corrections of decision each photographed images data GD is implemented the picture quality adjustment and handles (step S430).Picture quality adjustment with the level of corrections that determines is handled as illustrating among the 3rd and the 4th embodiment, implements with tint ramp basically.
CPU200 when finishing to use the picture quality adjustment processing (step S430) of the level of corrections that determines, according to synthetic (coincidence) decorative picture data FD of layout control information LI and photographed images data GD, generates output image data (step S440).
Synthetic with respect to the photographed images data GD of decorative picture data FD according to layout control information LI, carries out with the order that illustrates among the 3rd embodiment.CPU200 judges and whether imports user's request of changing (step S450) from the input unit of keyboard, mouse etc., when judging that not importing the user changes request (step S450 is a "No"), transfers to step S460.
CPU200 has imported the user when judgement and has changed when request (step S450 is a "Yes"), implements by the selection of the photographed images data of user's appointment with by the change of the allocation position of user's appointment, the processing of implementation step S420～step S440.As a result, about being configured in photographed images data in the decorative picture data, the allocation position of photographed images data in the decorative picture data, can reflect every user's hobby.
CPU200 outputs to printer 30 (printer driver), display 25 (step S460) with output image data, finishes this handling procedure.
As described above, according to personal computer 20 as the image processing apparatus relevant with the 5th embodiment, the priority that can determine each allocation position according to allocation position of in layout control information LI, stipulating and configuration sized, according to priority, decision is implemented the picture quality adjustment and is handled being configured in the level of corrections of the photographed images data GD on each allocation position.So, the enough layout control information LI of energy, according to each allocation position, the degree that change is adjusted the picture quality of photographed images data GD is carried out all changes to the outward appearance that is configured in the photographed images data GD on each allocation position.More particularly, the level of corrections by making the maximum photographed images data of comparison and big to other the level of corrections of photographed images data can make the outward appearance of the output image of maximum photographed images data become good.
Again,, then as shown in figure 26, a plurality of decorative picture data FD1, FD2 are being disposed in the situation of a plurality of photographed images data GD, also can determine the priority of each allocation position of a plurality of decorative picture data FD1, FD2 according to the method for this enforcement.Again, because according to allocation position and configuration sized (size) about each allocation position of a plurality of decorative picture data FD1, FD2, can determine the priority of each allocation position of decorative picture data FD1, FD2, so in the situation that has a plurality of decorative picture data FD, also can relatively determine level of corrections about each allocation position.
In addition, layout control information LI also can predesignate priority about each decorative picture data FD1, FD2.In this case, also can skip the decision of priority and handle, to each allocation position decision level of corrections.In the situation that has a plurality of decorative picture data FD, can determine priority according to above-mentioned order with allocation position and configuration sized again.
As mentioned above, through the input unit of unillustrated keyboard, mouse etc. among the figure, by the priority of user's decision about each decorative picture data FD.In this case, can implement to reflect the image processing of user preferences.
Further, in the 5th embodiment, though with configuration sized as primary standard, also can with allocation position as primary standard.At this moment, for example, can improve priority along with center near decorative picture data FD.
The 6th embodiment:
In above-mentioned the 3rd～the 5th embodiment, according to layout control information LI, decision is not considered the relevance (influence) between each photographed images data GD about level of corrections, correcting value, the priority of each allocation position of decorative picture data FD.In the 6th embodiment, also can handle and (resolve photographed images data GD in automated graphics quality adjustment to other photographed images data GD, the picture quality adjustment of decision correcting value or level of corrections is handled) in the analysis result of the eye-catching photographed images data of reflection, the picture quality adjustment of other photographed images data handled and the picture quality adjustment processing of eye-catching photographed images data associates.

The brightness value that is configured in the photographed images data GD on the allocation position B in season is (YminB, YmaxB), and the brightness value that is configured in the photographed images data GD on the allocation position A is (YminA, YmaxA), when additional 1: 1 weight is synthesized, obtains
YminA′＝(YminB+YminA)/2
YmaxA′＝(YmaxB+YmaxA)/2
When synthesizing brightness value YminA ' and YmaxA ' with being somebody's turn to do, when emphasizing contrast, because the photographed images data GD of allocation position A be subjected to allocation position B photographed images data GD feature influence and emphasized, so become the photographed images data that are in harmonious proportion with the photographed images data GD of allocation position B.
In addition, also can be with weight coefficient shown in Figure 27, photographed images data GD associates arbitrarily.Figure 27 is the key diagram of expression about an example of the weight coefficient of the photographed images data GD on each allocation position that is configured in decorative picture data FD shape.
In the time of on eye-catching photographed images data GD being configured in allocation position A (when allocation position A is main allocation position), be configured in the characteristic quantity of the photographed images data GD on allocation position B, the C by the characteristic quantity displacement that is configured in the photographed images data GD on the allocation position A.That is, the characteristic quantity that is configured in the photographed images data GD on the allocation position A becomes the composite character amount of the photographed images data GD that is configured on allocation position B, the C.
When eye-catching photographed images data GD being configured in allocation position B when going up (when allocation position B is main allocation position), the synthetic characteristic quantity that is configured in the photographed images data GD on the allocation position A is become the value that the characteristic quantity with the photographed images data GD of the characteristic quantity of the photographed images data GD of the synthetic allocation position A that obtains by parsing of 1: 1 ratio and allocation position B produces.The composite character amount that is configured in the photographed images data GD on the allocation position C is become the characteristic quantity of the photographed images data GD of allocation position B again.
When eye-catching photographed images data GD being configured in allocation position C when going up (when allocation position C is main allocation position), the synthetic characteristic quantity that is configured in the photographed images data GD on the allocation position A is become the value that the characteristic quantity with the photographed images data GD of the characteristic quantity of the photographed images data GD of the synthetic allocation position A that obtains by parsing of 2: 3 ratio and allocation position B produces.The composite character amount that is configured in the photographed images data GD on the allocation position B is become the characteristic quantity of the photographed images data GD of allocation position C again.
According to the 6th embodiment, then because when other photographed images data are implemented picture quality adjustment processing, analysis result (characteristic quantity) to other photographed images data, with the analysis result that obtains by the synthetic analysis result (characteristic quantity) that has added the eye-catching photographed images data of predefined weight, so can be in harmonious proportion the eye-catching photographed images data and the picture quality of other photographed images data.Therefore, can will be configured in each photographed images data among the decorative picture data FD as the photographed images data of picture quality with interdependence.
