Abstract
Description
デジタル撮影技術の進歩により、光学レンズモジュールに対して、より高機能な性能が求められるようになった。この需要に応えるソリューションの一つとして、屈折率の異なる2種類の透過性流体を用いた液体レンズが提案されている。 Advances in digital photography technology have demanded higher performance for optical lens modules. As one of solutions to meet this demand, a liquid lens using two kinds of transmissive fluids having different refractive indexes has been proposed.
液体レンズを用いると、小型化、高速化、単純化等のメリットがあり、これらの特性を利用したアプリケーションが多く提案されている。しかしながら流体状の光学デバイスにはこれ以外にも、『映像に意図的なゆがみを与えることができる』、『カメラを固定した状態でも視点移動ができる』、『レンズの中心を複数生成できる』といったような、まだ注目されていない性質がある。これらの性質を利用したカメラシステムを作る場合、液体レンズには偏った液面制御が求められたり、大口径化が求められたりと、これまでに提案されている液体レンズだけでは実現が困難である。 The use of a liquid lens has advantages such as downsizing, speeding up, and simplification, and many applications using these characteristics have been proposed. However, for fluid optical devices, other than this, “Intentional distortion can be given to the image”, “The viewpoint can be moved even when the camera is fixed”, “Multiple lens centers can be generated”, etc. There is a nature that has not been noticed yet. When making a camera system that uses these properties, liquid lenses are required to have a biased liquid level control or to have a large aperture, which is difficult to achieve with only liquid lenses that have been proposed so far. is there.
本件では磁性流体をミラーとして用い、液体を永久磁石で吸引することで重力を克服し、大口径の液体ミラーを作る技術を実現した。このミラーは磁気ヘッドや静電ヘッドを用いることで自由度の高い液面制御が可能な仕組みとなっており、これまでの液体レンズでは困難であった新しいアプリケーションの実現が可能になる。 In this project, we have realized a technology that uses a magnetic fluid as a mirror and overcomes gravity by attracting the liquid with a permanent magnet to create a large-diameter liquid mirror. This mirror has a mechanism that allows liquid level control with a high degree of freedom by using a magnetic head or an electrostatic head, and it is possible to realize a new application that has been difficult with conventional liquid lenses.
磁性流体レンズ装置
磁性流体をミラーとして用いる。実施例を図1,2,3に示す。永久磁石で磁性流体を吸引することで凸型ミラーを形成する。これにより重力による液漏れも防ぐことができる。必要に応じて、磁気ヘッドや静電ヘッドを用い液面を制御する。磁気で液面が動く原理は、図15に示すように磁気ヘッドで励磁したときに磁界分布に偏りが生じ、これにより磁性流体の液面が変動することで、磁性流体液面を反射する像の視点移動、ズーム移動が実現される。磁気ヘッドコイルの形状の実施例を図14に示す。図14に示すコイルは概要図であり1回巻きに限定したものではない。必要に応じて図16に示すように電極を設置し、磁性流体と透過性液体の間に電圧を加え液面を制御する。磁性流体の蒸発を抑えるため必要に応じてカバーをかぶせる。必要に応じて無反射ガラスを用いたり、図2に示すように一部で異なる角度をもつカバーを用いたりすることでカバーの写り込みを抑える。必要に応じて、図3に示すように鉄球で磁性流体を挟み込むことで、磁気回路を改善し、液面をより球面に近い形状に保つことができる。必要に応じて図4に示すように永久磁石の距離を変更することで液面の凹凸制御を行う。必要に応じて磁性流体とカバーの間は空気や透過性の流体を充填する。必要に応じて永久磁石と磁性流体の間に曲面補正用のヨークを設置し液面のカーブの微調整を行う。必要に応じて永久磁石にヨークを設置することで図17に示すように磁界分布の改善、外部への漏れ磁界を抑えることができる。必要応じて図18に示すように、永久磁石の移動、磁気ヘッドの制御により重力による液面のゆがみを低減する。磁性流体レンズにより与えた像のゆがみにより焦点の位置は変動し一部でピンぼけが生じるため、必要に応じてフォーカスを移動させながら数回に分けて像を取り込み、デジタル処理で合成することでピントの合ったイメージを得る。なお図1,2,3,4,14,15,16,17,18は請求項を制限するものではない。Magnetic fluid lens device Magnetic fluid is used as a mirror. Examples are shown in FIGS. A convex mirror is formed by attracting magnetic fluid with a permanent magnet. Thereby, the liquid leak by gravity can also be prevented. As necessary, the liquid level is controlled using a magnetic head or an electrostatic head. The principle of moving the liquid level by magnetism is that the magnetic field distribution is biased when excited by a magnetic head, as shown in FIG. The viewpoint movement and zoom movement are realized. An example of the shape of the magnetic head coil is shown in FIG. The coil shown in FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram and is not limited to one turn. If necessary, an electrode is installed as shown in FIG. 16, and a voltage is applied between the magnetic fluid and the permeable liquid to control the liquid level. Cover the cover as necessary to prevent evaporation of the magnetic fluid. Reflection of the cover is suppressed by using non-reflective glass as necessary, or by using a cover having a partially different angle as shown in FIG. If necessary, the magnetic circuit can be improved by sandwiching the magnetic fluid with an iron ball as shown in FIG. 3, and the liquid level can be maintained in a shape closer to a spherical surface. As shown in FIG. 4, the unevenness of the liquid level is controlled by changing the distance of the permanent magnet as required. If necessary, air or a permeable fluid is filled between the magnetic fluid and the cover. If necessary, a curved surface correction yoke is installed between the permanent magnet and the magnetic fluid to finely adjust the curve of the liquid level. By installing a yoke on the permanent magnet as required, the magnetic field distribution can be improved and the leakage magnetic field to the outside can be suppressed as shown in FIG. As necessary, as shown in FIG. 18, the liquid surface distortion due to gravity is reduced by moving the permanent magnet and controlling the magnetic head. The position of the focal point fluctuates due to distortion of the image given by the magnetic fluid lens, and a part of the focus is blurred.Accordingly, the image is captured several times while moving the focus as necessary, and the image is synthesized by digital processing. Get the right image. 1, 2, 3, 4, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18 do not limit the claims.
光学ぶれ補正装置
原理図を図7に示すように、磁性流体レンズの液面を変動させることで、この液面を反射し、レンズ群を介してイメージセンサに取り込まれる像の視点移動を行い撮影時のぶれを光学的に抑制する。なお図7は請求項を制限するものではない。Light learning correction device As shown in Fig. 7, the liquid level of the magnetic fluid lens is changed to reflect the liquid level and move the viewpoint of the image captured by the image sensor through the lens group. Optically suppresses shaking of time. FIG. 7 does not limit the claims.
液体魚眼レンズ撮影装置
実施例を図5,6に示すように、磁性流体レンズを用い、液面に写り込んだ像を、レンズ群を介してイメージセンサに取り込む。必要に応じて磁性流体レンズのカーブを制御し、意図的に映像にゆがみを与える。必要に応じてデジタル処理によりゆがみ修正することで、一部の領域を詳細に撮影し、なおかつ全体を広角撮影するようなデジタル撮影が可能となる。ここで図8に例を示す。被写体中の801の四角を詳細に撮影し、なおかつ全体も撮影したいとする。従来の撮影方法で光学ズームし801を詳細撮影するとその周囲の802の四角は撮影できない。一方、ズームアウトして全体を撮影しようとすると、今度は801を詳細撮影することができない。ここで磁性流体レンズを用いると、魚眼レンズのような一部を拡大して広角の像をとらえることができ、801を詳細に撮影し、なおかつ全体を撮影することができる。レンズは従来の魚眼レンズとは異なり、カメラを動かすことなく磁性流体レンズの視点移動により802の詳細撮影も実現可能である。撮影された動画、静止画の視聴時には、必要に応じて、どの部分が詳細なデータを持っているか視聴者側で認知できるGUIを提供し、必要に応じて、ユーザ側のリクエストで視点移動、ズーム移動できるユーザインターフェースを提供する。なお図5,6,8は請求項を制限するものではない。Liquid Fisheye Lens Imaging Device As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, using a magnetic fluid lens, an image reflected on the liquid surface is taken into an image sensor through a lens group. The magnetic fluid lens curve is controlled as necessary to intentionally distort the image. By correcting the distortion by digital processing as necessary, it is possible to perform digital imaging in which a part of the area is photographed in detail and the whole is photographed at a wide angle. An example is shown in FIG. Suppose that the user wants to take a detailed picture of the 801 square in the subject and also take the whole picture. When the optical zoom is performed by the conventional photographing method and the detailed photographing of 801 is performed, the surrounding squares 802 cannot be photographed. On the other hand, if the user wants to zoom out and shoot the whole image, 801 cannot be captured in detail. If a magnetic fluid lens is used here, a wide-angle image can be captured by enlarging a part like a fish-eye lens, and 801 can be photographed in detail and the whole can be photographed. Unlike a conventional fish-eye lens, it is possible to realize detailed photographing of 802 by moving the viewpoint of the magnetic fluid lens without moving the camera. When viewing captured videos and still images, provide a GUI that allows the viewer to recognize which part has detailed data as necessary, and move the viewpoint as requested by the user. Provide a user interface that can be zoomed. 5, 6 and 8 do not limit the claims.
多重視点デジタル録画装置及び再生装置
磁性流体レンズは電気信号により比較的高速に視点移動が可能であり、図9に示すように、複数の視点を決定し、磁性流体レンズで高速に特定の視点を切り替えながら、順に撮影していくことで、同時に複数の視点の動画、静止画を撮影する。記録媒体が磁気テープであれば、録画時には別々のフレームを順に記録していき、再生時には特定に視点のフレームのみをピックアップして再生する。記録場体がディスクやメモリ場合には、必要に応じて別々のデータ領域に記録していく。再生時には必要に応じて、視聴者側で別の視点情報を持っていることを認知できるGUI機能を提供し、必要に応じてユーザからのリクエストで視点を切り替えるユーザインターフェースを提供する。必要に応じてマルチフレーム化して、同時に複数の視点のイメージをディスプレイ装置に表示する機能を提供する。なお図9は請求項を制限するものではない。Multi-viewpoint digital recording device and playback device The magnetic fluid lens can move the viewpoint at a relatively high speed by an electrical signal. As shown in FIG. 9, a plurality of viewpoints are determined, and a specific viewpoint is quickly displayed by the magnetic fluid lens. By switching and taking pictures in order, it takes multiple viewpoint videos and still images at the same time. If the recording medium is a magnetic tape, separate frames are recorded in order during recording, and only a specific viewpoint frame is picked up and played back during playback. When the recording medium is a disk or memory, recording is performed in separate data areas as necessary. If necessary, a GUI function is provided that allows the viewer to recognize that the viewer has different viewpoint information during playback, and a user interface that switches the viewpoint in response to a request from the user is provided. A function is provided in which multiple frames are displayed as necessary, and images of a plurality of viewpoints are simultaneously displayed on a display device. Note that FIG. 9 does not limit the claims.

Note that FIG. 10 does not limit the claims.
360度デジタル撮影装置
図11,13に実施例を示すように磁性流体レンズ、カメラを設置すると、液面には広範囲の像が写り込み、レンズ群を介してイメージセンサに取り込むことで、全方位撮影または一部の領域の撮影が可能である。図12に動作原理を示すように、磁性流体ミラーの視点を移動させることで、特定の方位の映像が磁性流体レンズに大きく写り込み、その領域を詳細に撮影することが可能となる。必要に応じてデジタル処理によりイメージの展開、ゆがみ修正を行う。撮影されたデータを視聴する際には、必要に応じてどの部分が詳細なデータを持っているか、視聴者側で認知できるGUIを提供し、必要に応じて、視聴者側のリクエストで、その部分に視点移動するユーザインターフェースを提供する。必要に応じて動きを検出し、その方向を詳細撮影するように磁性流体レンズで視点移動する機能を提供する。なお図11,12,13は請求項を制限するものではない。360 degree digital photographing device As shown in FIGS. 11 and 13, when a magnetic fluid lens and a camera are installed, a wide range of image is reflected on the liquid surface, and is taken into the image sensor through the lens group, so that it can be omnidirectional. Shooting or shooting of a part of the area is possible. As shown in FIG. 12, by moving the viewpoint of the ferrofluid mirror, an image of a specific orientation is greatly reflected on the ferrofluid lens, and the area can be photographed in detail. Image development and distortion correction are performed by digital processing as necessary. When viewing the captured data, provide a GUI that allows viewers to recognize which parts have detailed data as necessary, and if necessary, at the viewer's request, Provides a user interface for moving the viewpoint to the part. A function of detecting the movement as necessary and moving the viewpoint with a magnetic fluid lens so as to photograph the direction in detail is provided.
