Description

  The present invention relates to a photo movie creation apparatus and a photo movie creation program for creating a photo movie to be viewed as a moving image from a still image of a material.

  2. Description of the Related Art Image display devices and photo movie creation software are known that allow a still image recorded by a digital camera or the like to be viewed as a moving photo movie (see Patent Documents 1 and 2, Non-Patent Documents 1 to 3). . A photo movie is a material that is converted from a still image into a moving image through a special processing and editing process that adds dynamic visual effects. It produces an effect that focuses on a specific subject compared to a slide show that displays images sequentially. It is also possible to produce an effect that gives a story to a single still image. The video of the photo movie can be played on a dedicated playback device or a computer incorporating the above-described software. If the video data of the photo movie is converted into a general-purpose digital video format and recorded on an optical disk such as a DVD, the photo movie can be viewed using a home DVD player or the like.

  Special effects for photo movies that add motion to still images include electronic zooming effects that zoom in / out by focusing on a part of the still image, and electronic scrolling with a part of the still image close-up. Panning effect, 1 frame still image reduced on the screen, frame movement to move in a straight line or curved line, rotation effect to rotate the image around a specific point, distortion effect to give distortion (skew), There are combined effects of combining these. In addition, there are multi-screen effects that reduce and display multiple still images at the same time, animation and decoration images, visual effects that combine subtitles, and slide shows that do not give special effects. There are many different forms.

  For example, a photo movie may be composed of one scene generated from one still image as a constituent unit, and a plurality of scenes may be configured when a plurality of still images are used. In order to create a high-quality photo movie, it is necessary to optimally construct individual scenes from factors such as the quality of still images as materials, the types of special effects, and the playback time of a scene. Therefore, in the photo movie creation software described in Non-Patent Document 3, editing parameters are set for special effects, and the user can arbitrarily select images at the start and end of the scene, screen changes in the scene, and the like. I am doing so.

  For example, in the special effects of electronic zooming and electronic panning, a trimming frame that defines a range for cutting out a part of a still image is set as an editing parameter. The user can designate the size of the trimming frame and the start / end points of electronic zooming and electronic panning, or a relay point. Thereby, the moving path of the trimming frame is determined so as to pass through each point. If the playback time of one scene is determined to be, for example, 5 seconds, the moving speed of the trimming frame is also determined, and an image of a total of 150 frames of 5 seconds × 30 frames / second is cut out while the trimming frame moves along the moving path. It is.

The image cut out by the trimming frame is converted into a specified image size suitable for viewing on a home television of 720 pixels × 480 pixels, for example, as a moving image frame of a photo movie. Therefore, as the trimming frame is smaller, a photo movie image with a higher magnification of the still image can be obtained.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-200843 JP 2002-24846 A Digital Stage Inc. LIFE * with-Photo-Cinema [Searched on November 1, 2004] Internet <URL: http://www.digitalstage.net/jp/product/life/index.html> Ai Soft Co., Ltd. Digital camera de Movie Theater [Search on November 1, 2004] Internet <URL: http://ai2you.com/imaging/products/dcmtheater/dcmt.asp> Canopus Co., Ltd.

  However, if the moving path of the trimming frame is too long for the playback time of one scene, the moving speed of the trimming frame will increase, and the viewer will not be able to catch up because the video flow (screen scrolling) is fast. There is a problem that the photo movie becomes difficult to see. On the other hand, if the moving path of the trimming frame is too short, there is a problem that the photo movie becomes redundant, unchanging, and interesting.

  The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems, and corrects the trimming frame movement path specified by the user even if it is set inappropriately with respect to the playback time. It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and a program for easily creating a photo movie with good appearance without being damaged.

  In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, a trimming frame that defines a range for partially cutting out a still image is moved on the still image along a movement path determined by at least two points on the still image. In a photo movie creation device that creates a photo movie using a plurality of images cut out each time the trimming frame moves, a frame size that defines the size of the trimming frame and a playback time of the photo movie are designated. Thus, a moving speed calculating means for calculating a moving speed when the trimming frame moves along the moving path, and whether or not the calculated moving speed is within a preset allowable speed range are determined. And frame size correction means for correcting the frame size when it is determined that the moving speed is not within the allowable speed range.

  The frame size correcting means corrects the frame size to be larger when the moving speed is larger than an allowable speed range, and corrects the frame size to be smaller when the moving speed is low.

  When it is determined that the moving speed is not within the allowable speed range, a moving distance correcting unit that corrects the length of the moving path so that the trimming frame includes the point is provided.

  The movement distance correction unit corrects the movement distance of the trimming frame to be shorter when the movement speed is larger than the allowable range, and corrects the movement distance to be longer when the movement speed is small. And

  The movement distance correction unit is configured so that when the frame size is largely corrected, at least a part of the trimming frame protrudes outside the still image so that the trimming frame fits inside the still image. The moving distance is corrected to be short.

  The photo movie creation program of the present invention moves a trimming frame that defines a range for partially cutting out a still image on the still image along a movement path determined by at least two points on the still image, For creating a photo movie using a plurality of images cut out each time the trimming frame moves, a frame size that defines the size of the trimming frame, a playback time of the photomovie to be created, Is specified, a moving speed calculating means for calculating a moving speed when the trimming frame moves along the moving path, and whether the calculated moving speed is within a preset allowable speed range. The computer functions as a frame size correcting unit that determines and corrects the frame size when it is determined that the moving speed is not within the allowable speed range. And characterized in that.

  According to the present invention, the frame size is corrected at least in the case where the inappropriate reproduction time is specified for the movement path specified as the parameter of the trimming frame and the movement speed of the trimming frame becomes faster or slower. Therefore, if the screen moves too fast, you can increase the frame size and widen the field of view to slow down the screen movement, or if the screen moves too slowly, reduce the frame size to reduce the visual movement. Can be fast. Accordingly, since the photo movie is difficult to see because the screen moves too fast, or the photo motion is slow and the photo movie is not redundant, the appearance does not deteriorate. In addition, compared with the case where only the moving path and moving speed of the trimming frame are corrected, it is possible to create a high-quality photo movie without greatly changing the user's intention to create. As a result, even after the appropriate playback time and moving speed are set, even if the playback time is changed due to user's convenience, the moving speed of the trimming frame does not need to be changed, and the quality of the photo movie is maintained. The playback time can be easily changed.

  In addition, since the frame distance is corrected to be large and the moving distance is corrected to be short, and the frame size is corrected to be small and the moving distance is corrected to be long, the range of changeable time can be widened when changing the playback time. it can.

  In addition, when the trimming frame protrudes outside the still image, the movement path is shortened so that the trimming frame fits inside the still image. Does not appear in the video, and does not impair the quality of the photo movie.

  Referring to FIG. 1, a photo movie creation apparatus 10 is installed in a shop or in a DPE store that provides a photo print service, and various input operations are performed by an ordering customer who requests creation of a photo movie as a user. The photo movie creation device 10 includes a storage device 11 that stores a photo movie creation program and a CPU 12 that executes the photo movie creation program. The storage device 11 is a hard disk type magnetic storage device, for example, and stores image data of a still image as a material for a photo movie, intermediate data generated by arithmetic processing of the CPU 12, and the like.

  The monitor 13 displays an editing menu for creating a photo movie, a created photo movie, and the like on the screen. The input operation unit 14 is used for inputting editing parameters and the like necessary for creating a photo movie, and includes a touch panel for performing input processing by touching an input key displayed on the monitor 13. The communication unit 15 performs data communication such as image data with an external device such as the digital camera 16. The media reader 17 reads the image data stored in the memory card 18 brought in by the customer. The media recording unit 19 records the created photo movie on an optical disc 20 such as a CD or a DVD.

  The CPU 12 creates a photo movie by executing a photo movie creation program stored in the storage device 11, and controls the operation of each unit based on input processing performed through the input operation unit 14. Functions as a photo movie creation unit 26. The photo movie creation unit 26 sets a trimming frame setting unit 30 that sets a trimming frame that defines a clipping range of a still image as editing parameters for special effects of electronic zooming and electronic panning, and sets a playback time of the photo movie for each scene. The playback time setting unit 31 and a photo movie output unit 32 that outputs moving image data of a photo movie are configured.

  The trimming frame setting unit 30 is designated with a start point, an end point, and a relay point when moving the trimming frame, so that a movement route calculation unit 35 that calculates the movement route and trimming the calculated movement route. A moving speed calculating unit 36 for calculating a moving speed for moving the frame within a predetermined time, and determining whether the magnitude of the moving speed is within a predetermined allowable speed range, and moving the trimming frame Frame size correction unit 37 for correcting the frame size of the trimming frame when the frame is out of the allowable range, and the length (movement distance) of the movement path of the trimming frame when the frame size cannot be corrected. And a movement distance correction unit 38.

  In FIG. 2, the movement path calculation unit 35 moves the trimming frame F1 by designating at least two points on the still image, for example, the start point C1 and the end point C2, as the center coordinates of the rectangular trimming frame F1. The movement route connecting the two points to be calculated is calculated. When the start point C1 and the end point C2 are specified, frame sizes S1 and S2 that define the size of the trimming frame F1 are specified. Note that the aspect ratio of the trimming frame F1 is fixed to the same value as the screen aspect ratio of a general home television, and the vertical and horizontal lengths of the trimming frame F1 are uniquely determined when the diagonal length is determined. In the drawing, the frame sizes S1 and S2 are shown as the half diagonal length of the trimming frame F1.

  The moving path of the trimming frame F1 is defined by three types of variables: a center coordinate Ct at each time, a frame size St, and one vertex coordinate Pt with reference to the playback time of the photo movie. If the frame sizes S1 and S2 are different between the start point C1 and the end point C2, the frame size St changes with time when the trimming frame F1 moves.

  In FIG. 3, the trimming frame F1 moves at a predetermined speed, and an image in a range defined by the trimming frame F1 is cut out at a constant interval, thereby creating a photo movie for one scene. Here, the photo movie for one scene is a constituent unit of a photo movie created using a plurality of still images, and a photo movie created from one still image in which an image is cut out by the trimming frame F1. Means. A photo movie created using a plurality of still images is a combination of photo movies of a plurality of scenes created from the still images.

  If the start point C1 and the end point C2 of the movement path have the same coordinates and the frame sizes S1 and S2 are different, a photo movie with a zooming effect that changes the magnification of the still image is obtained. If the start point C1 and the end point C2 are different and the frame sizes S1 and S2 are the same, a photo movie with a panning effect for scrolling a part of a still image is obtained. When the frame sizes S1 and S2 are different from the coordinates of the start point C1 and the end point C2, the photo movie is a composite of the zooming effect and the panning effect.

  The moving speed calculation unit 36 calculates the moving speed of the trimming frame F1 from the moving distance L1 of the trimming frame F1 and the playback time of one scene. The frame size correction unit 37 determines whether or not the calculated moving speed is within a predetermined allowable speed range. The allowable speed range varies depending on the resolution of the still image. For example, in the case of a still image having a length of 1280 pixels and a width of 960 pixels, the allowable speed range is determined as 150 pixels per second to 250 pixels per second. For lower-resolution still images, both the upper limit value and lower limit value of the allowable speed range are small, and for high-resolution still images, both the upper limit value and lower limit value of the allowable speed range are large. The moving distance L1 of the trimming frame F1 is the distance between the center coordinates of the trimming frame F1, and is the distance between the start point C1 and the end point C2 shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 4A, the frame size correcting unit 37 corrects the frame sizes S1 and S2 of the trimming frame F1 at the start point C1 and the end point C2 when the moving speed of the trimming frame F1 is not within the allowable speed range. To do. For example, when the moving speed of the trimming frame F1 is fast, the frame sizes S1 and S2 are largely corrected (FIG. 4B). When the moving speed of the trimming frame F1 is slow, the frame sizes S1 and S2 are corrected to be small (FIG. 4C). For example, the corrected frame size is determined based on the difference between the moving speed of the trimming frame F1 and the allowable speed range. Further, the frame size correction unit 37 determines whether or not the corrected frame size is within a predetermined allowable size range, and the frame size is larger or smaller than the still image size. In this case, the frame size is set to a size within an allowable size range determined based on the resolution of the still image.

  In FIG. 5, when the corrected frame size is out of the allowable size range, the movement distance correction unit 38 sets the movement distance of the trimming frame F1 instead of setting the frame size of the trimming frame F1 within the allowable size range. to correct. For example, when the corrected frame size is larger than the allowable size range, the movement distance is corrected to be short instead of setting the frame size within the allowable range (FIG. 5B). When the corrected frame size is smaller than the allowable size range, the moving distance is corrected to be longer instead of setting the frame size within the allowable range. That is, the moving speed of the trimming frame F1 is close to the allowable speed range without changing the reproduction time.

  In addition, the movement distance correction unit 38 changes the positions of the start point C1 and the end point C2 of the trimming frame F1 when a part of the trimming frame F1 protrudes from the still image when the frame size is corrected. Change the travel distance of F1. As shown in FIG. 6, in the trimming frame F1 after correction, when the start point C1 and the end point C2 are located in the peripheral portion of the still image (FIG. 6A), the frame sizes S1 and S2 are greatly corrected. Then, a part of the image may protrude outside the still image (FIG. 6B). The movement distance correction unit 38 changes the positions of the start point C1 and the end point C2 of the trimming frame F1 so that the trimming frame F1 after the frame size is corrected fits inside the still image (FIG. 6C). .

  The movement distance correction unit 38 has the largest change in the movement speed of the trimming frame F1 due to the change in the movement distance, regardless of whether the frame size is outside the allowable size range or the trimming frame protrudes from the still image. The positions of new start point C1 and end point C2 are determined so as to be smaller. For example, the start point C1 and end point C2 of the trimming frame F1 after correction are changed to positions included in the trimming frame F1 before correction.

  The playback time setting unit 31 sets the playback time for each scene. The playback time of one scene is set as, for example, 5 seconds as an initial setting value, and this initial setting value is determined as the shortest time of one scene. The playback time of one scene can be appropriately changed to a playback time of 5 seconds or more specified by the user's input operation. The playback time setting unit 31 calculates the total playback time of all scenes for which the trimming frame F1 has been set, and resets the playback time for each scene when the total playback time is designated by the user.

  Each time the trimming frame F1 moves along the movement path, the photomovie output unit 32 converts an image cut out from the still image into a moving image frame of the photomovie, and generates moving image data of 30 frames per second, for example. Further, the generated moving image data is converted into a digital moving image format of, for example, MPEG2-DVD-Video format, and the converted moving image data of the photo movie is stored in the storage device 11. The moving image data of the photo movie stored in the storage device 11 is recorded on the optical disc 20 by the media recording unit 19.

  Next, the operation of the photo movie creation apparatus 10 will be described. In FIG. 7, the digital camera 16 or the memory card 18 in which still image data is stored is brought in by the user. The digital camera 16 is connected to the communication unit 15, and the memory card 18 is set in the media reading unit 17. The control unit 25 reads out still image data from the digital camera 16 or the memory card 18 and stores it in the storage device 11.

  The read still images are displayed as a list on the monitor 13 as thumbnail images. The user selects a still image to be used for the photo movie, and a trimming frame setting screen for setting the trimming frame F1 is displayed on the monitor 13. The selected still image is displayed on the screen. When the user touches the screen of the monitor 13 and designates a specific point of the displayed still image, the trimming frame setting unit 30 displays a mark at the designated first point and displays trimming F1. The position of the trimming frame F1 can be changed by designating the point where the mark is displayed and performing a drag operation as it is, for example. Further, by dragging the corner portion of the displayed trimming frame F1, the frame size S1 of the trimming frame F1 can be designated. The user performs an operation of determining the position and frame size of the designated trimming frame F1. The trimming frame setting unit 30 sets the designated first point as the start point C1.

  Next, the user designates the second point, determines the position of the trimming frame F1 and the frame size S2, and performs an operation to confirm this. The trimming frame setting unit 30 sets the designated second point as the end point C2. When the second point is specified, a message prompting the user to select whether or not to specify the relay point is displayed on the screen of the monitor 13. Here, if the user selects to designate a relay point, the third point is designated, and the position and frame size of the trimming frame F1 are designated. The designated third point is set as the end point C2, and the second point inputted last time is designated as the relay point. Similarly, the fourth point and the fifth point can be designated.

  When the designation of the second point or the relay point is completed, the moving path of the trimming frame F1 is obtained from the start point C1, the end point C2, and the position of the relay point. Further, when the frame size of the trimming frame F1 at the start point C1 and the end point C2 is different, the frame size at each time is obtained. A message prompting the user to select whether or not to specify the playback time of one scene is displayed on the screen of the monitor 13. The playback time setting unit 31 sets the playback time to an initial setting value of 5 seconds, and the user can select a time of 5 seconds or more. If the playback time is not selected by the user, the playback time is the default value of 5 seconds.

  In FIG. 8, the movement speed calculation unit 36 calculates the movement speed of the trimming frame F1 from the obtained movement route and the set reproduction time. The frame size correction unit 37 sets an allowable speed range from the resolution of the still image, and determines whether or not the calculated moving speed is within the allowable speed range. As a result, if it is determined that the moving speed is within the allowable speed range, the setting of the trimming frame F1 for one scene is completed, and the user selects whether to select the next still image or to create a photo movie. Move on to the step.

  If the frame size correcting unit 37 determines that the moving speed is outside the allowable speed range, the frame size correcting unit 37 corrects the frame size of the trimming frame F1 based on whether the moving speed is above or below the allowable speed range. When the moving speed exceeds the allowable speed range, the frame size is corrected to be large, and when the moving speed is below the allowable speed range, the frame size is corrected to be small. Further, the frame size correction unit 37 determines whether or not the trimming frame F1 protrudes outside the still image when the frame size is largely corrected. When the trimming frame F1 protrudes outside the still image, the movement distance correction unit 38 changes the center position of the corresponding trimming frame F1 and sets the movement distance so that all the trimming frames F1 fit within the still image. Correct it shortly.

  The frame size correction unit 37 sets an allowable size range of the frame size from the resolution of the still image, and determines whether or not the corrected frame size is within the allowable size range. When it is determined that the corrected frame size is outside the allowable size range, the frame size is forcibly corrected to a size within the allowable size range. As shown in FIG. 8, when the frame size exceeds the allowable size range, the movement distance correction unit 38 corrects the movement distance to be short based on the fact that the corrected frame size is suppressed within the allowable size range. When the frame size is below the allowable size range, the movement distance is corrected to be longer. The movement distance correction unit 38 calculates a change in the reproduction time associated with changing the movement distance, and sends a correction amount of the reproduction time to the reproduction time setting unit 31.

  The reproduction time setting unit 31 compares the set reproduction time length with the reproduction time correction amount, and determines whether or not the reproduction time can be corrected. That is, when the reproduction time is subtracted, it is determined whether or not the reproduction time is smaller than 5 seconds which is the minimum value of the reproduction time. If it is determined that the corrected playback time is 5 seconds or longer, the playback time is adjusted. If it is determined that the corrected playback time is 5 seconds or less, the playback time is set to 5 seconds, and the moving distance is corrected to be shorter by the length of the playback time that cannot be corrected by the moving distance correction unit 38. The When the frame size, the reproduction time, and the movement distance are corrected, the correction process for the trimming frame F1 ends.

  The same processing is performed for the other still images, and when the setting of the trimming frame F1 for each scene is completed for all the still images used for the photo movie, the playback time setting unit 31 sums the playback times of all the scenes. The total playback time is calculated. This total reproduction time is displayed on the monitor 13. The user determines whether the displayed total playback time is good or not, and if the total playback time is short, inputs a content for instructing to extend the total playback time. If the total playback time is short, contents for instructing a reduction in the total playback time are input.

  The playback time setting unit 31 obtains the difference between the playback time at the current time and the playback time desired by the user, and when extending the total playback time, for example, increases the playback time of each scene equally. In order to shorten the total playback time, the playback time of a scene whose playback time is set to 5 seconds or more is subtracted. The scene whose playback time has been changed is restarted from the calculation of the moving speed, and the frame size and moving distance are corrected.

  When the total playback time desired by the user is changed, the user performs an operation to proceed to the next step, and the photo movie output unit 32 starts creating a photo movie. The photo movie output unit 32 reads the setting information of each scene from the trimming frame setting unit 30 and the reproduction time setting unit 31, cuts out a still image from the setting information of the trimming frame F1, and extracts the cut image with the same number of pixels. Convert to video frame. Moving image data is generated from the converted moving image frame, and MPEG compression processing is performed on the generated moving image data. The MPEG-compressed moving image data is subjected to an authoring process for converting it into a DVD-Video format. The moving image data subjected to these processes is stored in the storage device 11.

  The moving image data of the photo movie stored in the storage device 11 is written on the optical disc 20 in the media recording unit 19. The optical disk 20 in which the moving image data of the photo movie is written is ejected from the photo movie creating apparatus 10 in exchange for a fee, and delivered to the ordering customer. As described above, the ordering and creation of the photo movie and the delivery of the product are completed.

  In addition, this invention is not restricted to the said embodiment, A suitable change is possible. For example, in the above embodiment, an upper limit value and a lower limit value are set in the allowable speed range, and the frame size is corrected depending on whether the calculated moving speed exceeds or falls below the allowable speed range. The moving speed may be compared with the allowable speed range of only the lower limit value, and the frame size may be corrected to be larger or smaller.

  In the above embodiment, the calculation of the moving speed and the correction of the frame size are performed for all the scenes in which the trimming frame is set, but at least two points that determine the moving path and the frame size are specified. Sometimes, the optimal playback time range corresponding to the moving speed within the allowable speed range is calculated, and only when a playback time that is outside the calculated optimal playback time range is specified, the moving speed is calculated and the frame size is calculated. It is also possible to correct the above. Also, when there is a situation in which the frame size cannot be corrected and the movement distance cannot be corrected, for example, the difference between the original frame size and the corrected frame size may increase, so that the quality of the photo movie may deteriorate. In this case, the deterioration of the quality of the photo movie can be reduced by changing the moving speed of the trimming frame.

  The above-described photomovie creation device 10 is configured as a dedicated device for collectively creating an optical disc on which moving image data of a photomovie is recorded from reading of still image data in order to create a photomovie. Order receiving machine for reading still image data and specifying special effects, etc., and receiving still image data and various information specified by the user from the order receiving machine. And a photo movie output machine for creating a photo movie based on the above. In this case, the photo movie creation program of the present invention may be incorporated into a personal computer so that an order can be placed from home via a communication means such as the Internet.

  Furthermore, the present invention may be applied to a digital still camera so that a photographed image can be reproduced as a photo movie on the spot. The trimming frame is not limited to a rectangle but may be a trimming frame such as a circle or rhombus. As a special effect, a trimming frame may be used in addition to the electronic zooming effect as long as it includes an electronic panning effect that involves moving the trimming frame. It can also be used when creating a photo movie with special effects combined with rotating effects.
