[0027]
Further, the present invention is characterized in that switching between frames is made more effective by automatically inserting an effect-processed image between frames of a reproduced image.
[0028]
The configuration of the first embodiment will be described below.
[0029]
FIG. 1 is a front view of a digital camera according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side view of the digital camera according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a rear view of the digital camera according to the present invention.
[0030]

[0031]
Next, the inside of the main body of the digital camera will be described.
[0032]
FIG. 4 is a main block diagram inside the digital camera.
[0033]
In FIG. 4, reference numeral 11 denotes an image sensor composed of a CCD or the like. When the imaging process is started, the imaging element 11 converts the subject image formed on the light receiving surface into a signal charge of an amount corresponding to the amount of incident light by each light receiving sensor. The signal charge of each light receiving sensor is sequentially output from the image sensor 11 as a voltage signal corresponding to the amount of signal charge.
[0034]
Reference numeral 12 denotes a preamplifier. The preamplifier 12 performs correlated double sampling (CDS) processing on the voltage signal output from the image sensor 11, color separation processing on R, G, and B color signals, and adjustment of the signal level of each color signal (pre-processing). White balance processing).
[0035]
Reference numeral 13 denotes an A / D converter. The A / D converter 13 converts each color signal output from the preamplifier 12 into an R, G, B digital signal.
[0036]
An image storage unit 14 stores image data of a photographed image. In addition to the image data, the image recording unit 14 stores the number of currently recorded image data, that is, the number of currently recorded images.
[0037]
Reference numeral 15 denotes a control unit. When the user selects a playback mode from the selection unit 4, the control unit 15 instructs the image signal processing unit 16, which will be described later, to play a slide show. In the reproduction of the slide show, the control unit 15 gives an instruction by giving the file name to the image signal processing unit 16 in the order of the file names of the image data stored in the image recording unit 14 (in order from the smallest number). This instruction is performed in consideration of the reproduction time of the captured image. For example, if the playback time of one frame is 5 seconds, it is performed at intervals of about 5 seconds.
[0038]
The control unit 15 has a counter 20 therein, and compares the count value of the counter 20 with the number of image data stored in the image recording unit 14 while the image processing unit 17 performs image effect processing. Give instructions. The counter 20 starts counting up from 0, increments by 1 every time an instruction to read a specified file from the image recording unit 14 is given to the image signal processing unit 16, and is reset to 0 by an instruction from the control unit 15. .
[0039]
Reference numeral 16 denotes an image signal processing unit. The image signal processing unit 16 converts the R, G, and B digital signals output from the A / D converter 13 into luminance signals and color difference signals, and performs necessary processing such as gamma correction. Thereby, image data of a predetermined format is generated. Then, the image data for one frame is compressed by, for example, the JPEG method, and the compressed image data is recorded in the image storage unit 14. The image data of the still image for one frame recorded in this way is given a file number with a lower number in the order of shooting, and can be identified by the file name. In addition, when the reproduction is instructed from the control unit 15, the image signal processing unit 16 reads out the image data from the image storage unit 14 based on the given file name, decompresses and restores the image data before compression. To do.
[0040]
Reference numeral 17 denotes an effect processing unit. The effect processing unit 17 performs image effect processing (hereinafter referred to as effect processing) using image data output from the image signal processing unit 17 based on an instruction from the control unit 15, and the effect-processed image is processed. Prior to the start of the reproduction of a series of still images, it is inserted at the end of the reproduction.
[0041]
Further, the effect processing unit 18 performs image effect processing (hereinafter referred to as effect processing) using the image data output from the image signal processing unit 17, and converts the effect-processed image into a series of still image frames. It is inserted between them.
[0042]
The effect processing performed in the effect processing unit 17 is of four types: fade-in performed prior to the start of playback, fade-out performed at the end of playback, gate and wipe performed for switching between frames.
[0043]
As shown in FIG. 5, the fade-in is an image effect that is performed at the start of a light show (reproduction of a series of captured images) and the image gradually becomes clearer. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the fade-out is an image effect that is performed at the end of the light show and the image gradually disappears. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, the gate is an image effect that is performed at the time of switching between frames of a captured image and gradually erases an image and gradually sharpens the next image. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the wipe is an image effect that is performed at the time of switching between frames of the captured image and gradually replaces the current image with the next image.
[0044]
The effect processing unit 17 is set to alternately perform gate and wipe for effect processing performed at the time of switching between frames, except for fade-in at the start of playback and fade-out at the end of playback. . However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the type of effect processing performed between frames can be arbitrarily changed.
[0045]
Reference numeral 18 denotes a D / A converter. The D / A converter 18 converts the image data output from the effect processing unit 17 into an analog signal.
[0046]
19 encoder. The encoder 19 converts the analog signal output from the D / A converter 18 into, for example, an NTSC color composite video signal, and outputs the video from the external output terminal 3.
[0047]
Next, the playback operation of the digital camera having the above configuration will be described.
[0048]
FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the reproduction operation (slide show), and FIG. 10 is a time chart of the reproduction operation (slide show).
[0049]
First, the user presses the key of the selection unit 4 to display the playback mode on the display unit 5. Then, the playback mode is determined by pressing the determination button (Step 100).
[0050]
Subsequently, when the reproduction mode is selected, blank processing for 6 seconds is performed (Step 101). Then, the control unit 15 searches for the file name with the smallest number, increments the counter 20 by +1, gives the file name, and instructs the image signal processing unit 16 to restore the image (Step 102).
[0051]
The image signal processing unit 16 reads out the image data from the image storage unit 14 for the given file name, decompresses it, and restores it to the image data before compression (Step 103). The restored image data is output to the effect processing unit 17.
[0052]
The control unit 15 compares the count value of the counter 20 with the number of files stored in the image storage unit 14, and determines whether the restored image data (captured image) is the last frame or the first frame. It is determined whether there is a frame or any other frame (Step 104).
[0053]
When the count value of the counter 20 matches the number of files stored in the image storage unit 14, the restored image data (captured image) is the last frame. When the count value of the counter 20 is 1, the restored image data (captured image) is the first frame. When the count value of the counter 20 is other than that, the restored image data (captured image) is a frame other than that.
[0054]
If the restored image data (captured image) is the first frame, the control unit 15 instructs the effect processing unit 17 to perform a fade-in process (Step 107).
[0055]
The effect processing unit 17 performs a fade-in process for a predetermined time based on the image data (Step 108), then stops the process and outputs the image data to the D / A converter 18 (Step 109). .
[0056]
The D / A converter 18 converts the image data output from the effect processing unit 17 into an analog signal (Step 110). This analog signal is converted into an NTSC color composite video signal by the encoder 19 (Step 111), and video output from the external output terminal 3 (Step 112).
[0057]
According to such processing, as shown in FIG. 10, after 6 seconds of blank display (black screen), fade-in playback is performed over 4 seconds, and after the opening is recognized, playback of a normal captured image is performed. Then, the captured image is reproduced for 5 seconds.
[0058]
On the other hand, when the restored image data (captured image) is not the first frame and is not the last frame, the control unit 15 instructs the effect processing unit 17 to perform the frame switching effect process (Step 113).
[0059]
Based on the instruction, the effect processing unit 17 performs predetermined effect processing for a predetermined time using two consecutive image data (captured images) (Step 114), and then stops the processing to obtain image data. It is output to the D / A converter 18 (Step 115).
[0060]
The D / A converter 18 converts the image data output from the effect processing unit 17 into an analog signal (Step 110). This analog signal is converted into an NTSC color composite video signal by the encoder 19 (Step 111), and video output from the external output terminal 3 (Step 112).
[0061]
According to such processing, as shown in FIG. 10, the effect is played back for 3 seconds, and then the normal captured image is played back for 5 seconds. In this example, two types of effects are prepared, but these two types of effects are alternately performed.
[0062]
On the other hand, when the restored image data (captured image) is the last frame, the control unit 15 instructs the effect processing unit 17 to perform fade-out image processing (Step 116).
[0063]
The effect processing unit 17 outputs the image data input for a predetermined time to the D / A converter 18 (Step 117), performs a fade-out process for a predetermined time (Step 118), and outputs it to the D / A converter 19.
[0064]
Further, the control unit 15 resets the value of the counter 20 to 0, that is, returns to 0 (Step 119).
[0065]
In the D / A converter 18, the image data output from the effect processing unit 17 is converted into an analog signal (Step 120). This analog signal is converted into an NTSC color composite video signal by the encoder 19 (Step 121) and video output from the external output terminal 3 (Step 122). Then, the reproduction (slide show) of the series of photographed images ends (Step 123).
[0066]
According to such a process, as shown in FIG. 10, after a normal captured image is reproduced for 5 seconds, fade-out reproduction is performed for 4 seconds, and it is recognized that it is an ending and a series of operations are performed. Playback of the captured image (slide show) ends.
[0067]
As described above, the digital camera according to the present invention does not require an information processing apparatus such as a computer, and further, without requiring specialized knowledge of image processing, can perform effective image effect processing and perform a slide show. Can be performed.
[0068]
In the present embodiment, the effect processing unit 17 is configured to alternately perform two effect processes. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be set in the order of gate, gate, wipe, for example. Moreover, you may comprise so that it may carry out at random.
[0069]
In the above description, the effect processing is performed at the start and end of the slide show and at the time of switching between frames. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the fade-in at the start of the slide show and the fade-out at the end. May be performed only or may be combined in a timely manner.
[0070]
A second embodiment will be described.
[0071]
In the second embodiment, not only visual recognition such as fading in at the time of opening, but also a function of reproducing a narration that explains the contents of a photographed image and the like prior to the reproduction of the photographed image. Further, it is characterized in that it is configured to produce an auditory effect.
[0072]
FIG. 11 is a block diagram of the second embodiment.
[0073]
As shown in FIG. 11, in order to achieve the above-described function, a microphone 21, an amplifier 22, an A / D converter 23, an audio signal processing unit 24, an audio recording unit 25, a D / A converter 26, An amplifier 27 is added.
[0074]
Next, narration recording will be described.
[0075]
The narration recording process is performed prior to the reproduction of the captured image.
[0076]
First, when the selection unit 15 sets the narration recording mode, the microphone 21 detects sound and converts it into an electric signal. The audio signal is amplified by the amplifier 22, converted to a digital signal by the A / D converter 23, and input to the audio signal processing unit 24 as audio data.
[0077]
When the selection unit 4 selects the end of recording, the control unit 15 instructs the audio signal processing unit 24 to record audio data. Thus, the audio data acquired from the microphone 21 by the audio signal processing unit 24 is compressed by a predetermined method such as MP3. The compressed audio data is recorded in the audio recording unit 25.
[0078]
Next, narration playback processing will be described.
[0079]
FIG. 12 is a time chart of the reproduction of the captured image and the reproduction of the narration.
[0080]
First, when the reproduction mode of the captured image is set by the selection unit 4, an instruction to reproduce audio data is given from the control unit 15 to the audio signal processing unit 24. This instruction is given prior to the reproduction of the photographed image, and as shown in FIG. 12, the image is started from the blanking stage until the recorded sound is reproduced (20 seconds in FIG. 12). .
[0081]
Based on the instruction, the audio signal processing unit 24 reads the audio data from the audio recording unit 25, decompresses the read audio data, and restores the audio data before compression. The restored audio data is output to the D / A converter 26 and converted into an analog signal, then amplified by the amplifier 27 and output from the external output terminal 3 as audio.
[0082]
According to such a configuration, the opening of the slide show can be audibly recognized.
[0083]
Further, as shown in FIG. 13, it is possible to add a music storage unit 30 in which music data is stored, and to add a function of reproducing music as BGM during reproduction of a photographed image.
[0084]
A third embodiment will be described.
[0085]
In the third embodiment, in addition to the first and second embodiments, a frame image to be a frame of a captured image is stored in advance in a digital camera, and a series of captured images are reproduced (slide show). A feature is that a function of synthesizing and reproducing a photographed image and a frame image is added.
[0086]
In order to achieve the above functions, as shown in FIG. 14, a frame image storage unit 40 in which frame images are stored, and a synthesis processing unit 41 that synthesizes a captured image and a frame image are newly added.
[0087]
For example, as shown in FIG. 15, the frame image stored in the frame image storage unit 40 is an image that becomes a frame of a captured image, and is a character image.
[0088]
Further, the composition processing unit 41 synthesizes the photographed image and the frame image. For example, when there is a photographed image as shown in FIG. 16, the image is synthesized with the frame image of FIG. A composite image as shown in FIG. 17 is generated.
[0089]
In this way, more effective effects can be achieved when a series of captured images is reproduced.
[0090]
In the music storage unit 30 according to the second embodiment, a sound effect related to the frame image, for example, a sound effect of applause such as “flapping” is stored, and the sound effect sound is transmitted from the control unit 15 at a predetermined timing. If the audio signal processing unit 24 is controlled so as to be output, a more effective presentation can be performed by the camera alone.
[0091]
In addition, the control unit 15, the image signal processing unit 16, the effect processing unit 17, the audio signal processing unit 24, the synthesis processing unit 41, and the like in the first, second, and third embodiments described above are a CPU that operates according to a program. The program causes the CPU to perform the above-described operation.
[0092]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, a series of captured images are reproduced (slide show) by applying effective image effect processing without requiring an information processing device such as a computer and without requiring specialized knowledge of image processing. It has an excellent effect of being able to.
[0093]
Further, by adding a function for reproducing voice and music and a function for synthesizing and reproducing a frame image and a photographed image, a further effect can be expected.
