Then, after having selected, having determined any photography scene, according to the corresponding photography conditions of photography scene (sample image) that is determined, image quality to the document image in the regeneration is proofreaied and correct, promptly, carry out proofreading and correct, and the image after this correction (hereinafter referred to as correcting image) 212 temporarily is presented in the TFT LCD monitor 13 based on the image quality of regulation regeneration mode.And, behind the shutter key that has been pressed under this state, the correcting image in showing 212 is done to become the new image file different with document image, and record.
Fig. 6 is illustrated under the regeneration mode, selected arbitrarily document image by the user after, and the flow chart of the contents processing of carrying out by MPU3 relevant with embodiments of the invention.
MPU3 is when having selected arbitrarily document image, from video memory 17, read the packed data (image file) 101 of selected document image (photographs), its decompress(ion) is contractd be deployed among the DRAM15 after, show (step S1) in TFT LCD monitor 13.Then, MPU3 judges whether the user has operated the BS key, if do not press BS key ("No" among the step S2), then returns step S1, continues displayed record image 211 (with reference to Fig. 5 b).
On the other hand, if supress BS key ("Yes" among the step S2), then read the part (photography conditions numbering and photography conditions name) of the sample image data 102 that are stored in the video memory 17 and photography conditions data 103, select the above-mentioned scene that constitutes by these picture 202 (with reference to Fig. 5 B) to be presented at (step S3) in the TFT LCD monitor 13, impel the user to operate, select desirable photography scene (sample image) by specified key.
In the selection decision operation back ("Yes" among the step S4) of having carried out the photography scene, read be attached to demonstration in document image 211 in the corresponding any photographic parameter shown in Figure 3 of photography conditions numbering, promptly, the photographic parameter of when photography, using (step S5), according to the photographic parameter of reading, document image 211 (view data in the DRAM15) is implemented the inverse transformation treatment for correcting, and it is standard picture quality (step S6) that its image quality is proofreaied and correct.
Promptly, by carrying out the image processing with the opposite content of image processing of the time carrying out in photography, be the image quality correction of the document image 211 in showing, be equivalent to the time not carry out situation according to the image processing of above-mentioned photographic parameter in photography, that is, used standard picture quality under the situation of photography of best scene camera function.More particularly, for example the time used under the situation of the photographic parameter corresponding with photography conditions shown in Figure 3 numbering " 2 ", photography conditions name " landscape photography " in photography, owing to the time carried out acutance is made as "+2 " in photography, saturation be made as the image processing of "+2 ", so carry out acutance is made as the image processing that " 2 ", saturation are made as " 2 " here.
And, read and the corresponding photographic parameter of selecting scene selection picture 202 by the user before (step S7) of photography scene from video memory 17, according to this photographic parameter, as described above correction is proofreaied and correct (step S8) again for the image of standard picture quality.That is,, the photographic parameter of the new photography scene of selecting as image quality correcting condition, is implemented the image processing corresponding with its content to being the image of standard picture quality state.More particularly, be under the situation that " makes " corresponding parameters green distinct with photography conditions shown in Figure 3 numbering " 6 ", photography conditions name for example at the new photographic parameter of selecting, carry out color contrast to " green ", and carry out acutance is made as "+2 ", saturation is made as the image processing of "+2 ".
Then, the image of this moment as final correcting image 212 (with reference to Fig. 5 B), and is presented at (step S9) in the TFT LCD monitor 13.After having shown correcting image 212, judge whether to have indicated the correction of pressing to determine (having indicated correction change) at step S10 based on the specified key operation based on shutter key, be judged as under the situation of having indicated decision, correcting image 212 as with proofread and correct before the different new image file of document image 211, record (step S11) in the video memory 17.In addition, be judged as under the situation of having carried out indicating based on the change of specified key operation at step S10, return step S3, displayed scene is selected picture 202 in TFT LCD monitor 13, makes the user select desirable photography scene (sample image) once more.Afterwards, above-mentioned repeatedly action.
As mentioned above, in the digital camera 1 of present embodiment, the document image 211 (photographs) of having photographed can be corrected into the image of the same atmosphere of situation of photographing under the photograph mode that has with the scene of promptly photographing in corresponding subject kind.And, at this moment,, after pressing the BS key, having shown that scene is selected picture 202, only need select the operation of desirable photography scene to get final product, thereby anyone can both easily carry out the correction operation of document image as shown in Figure 5 for the user.In addition, because its order is with identical in the situation that adopts best scene photograph mode to photograph, so use very facility.
And, even the photography that the photographs of calibration object is to use best scene camera function to carry out, when photography, used photography conditions according to specific photography scene (subject kind), but owing to be after the image quality of document image is temporarily reverted to the standard picture quality, carry out correction, so can be corrected into the image quality that correspondence is different from the photography scene in when photography to the image quality of document image without barrier based on the photography conditions corresponding with the photography scene (subject kind) of new selection.That is,, can give and the same atmosphere of situation of under the photograph mode that is different from when photographing, photographing for the photographs of photography under certain pattern of using the specific photography conditions corresponding and record with the subject kind.
Its result, for example after when photography and photography, even the user has changed intention, also can be corresponding, thus the user can obtain to have the photographs of satisfied atmosphere all the time.
Here, for convenience of explanation, only illustrated and supposed that the document image that becomes calibration object has been to use the situation of the image of best scene camera function photography, but in fact, the document image of calibration object also there is the situation of not using best scene camera function photography.Therefore, when reality enforcement was of the present invention, MPU3 carried out following processing.
For example after above-mentioned step S4, the data of the above-mentioned producer recording section by confirming image file, whether the document image 211 that is used for judging the demonstration that becomes calibration object is to use the treatment of picture of best scene camera function photography, in its judged result is under the situation of "Yes", directly carry out the inverse transformation treatment for correcting of above-mentioned steps S5, and be under the situation of "No" in above-mentioned judged result, skip step S5 thereafter, S6, enter the processing of step S7, at step S8, carry out the treatment for correcting of the document image 211 in showing as object.
Thus, even when the document image of calibration object is not to use the image of best scene camera function photography, also can become to have image with the same atmosphere of the situation of under the photograph mode of corresponding specific shot body kind (photography scene), photographing to this image rectification.
In addition, in the present embodiment, when carrying out the inverse transformation treatment for correcting of step S6, though can photography conditions numbering (with reference to Fig. 4) in producer's recording section of image file be judged when the photography selected photography scene, applied photographic parameter (photography conditions) when photographing according to recording and narrating, also can carry out following processing.
For example, because employed photographic parameter when having recorded and narrated photography in producer's recording section is as described above handled so also can carry out above-mentioned inverse transformation according to this photographic parameter.In this case, for example, possessing the best scene camera function same with the digital camera 1 of present embodiment, in other digital cameras of best regeneration function, installation stores the video memory 17 of the image file of the digital camera photography of using present embodiment, and when utilizing best regeneration function, be kept at the sample image data 102 in the video memory 17 and the content of photography conditions data 103, the digital camera of present embodiment is different with other digital cameras, promptly, part or all of selectable photography scene when having photography, the inconsistent situation of possibility between two digital cameras, even but in this case, as long as carry out above-mentioned inverse transformation treatment for correcting, the correction after can photographing without barrier according to the photographic parameter of being recorded and narrated in producer's recording section.
In addition, in the present embodiment, illustrated as described above after step S6 has carried out the inverse transformation treatment for correcting, further carry out treatment for correcting again at step S8, that is, carry out the image processing (image quality adjustment processing) in 2 different stages, obtain the situation of final correcting image 12 thus, but also can replace the image processing in 2 above-mentioned stages, and carry out following processing.Promptly, carry out the photographic parameter used when being equivalent to photograph and the image processing of the content of the photographic parameter (difference condition) of the difference of the corresponding photographic parameter of selected photography scene during with regeneration, promptly summarized the treatment for correcting of the image processing in above-mentioned 2 stages.
More particularly, for example for the time having selected photography conditions to be numbered " 2 " in photography, the document image of the photography scene of photography conditions " landscape photography " by name, selected photography conditions to be numbered under the situation of photography scene of " 6 ", photography conditions " making green distinct " by name in when regeneration (timing), also can only carry out color contrast " green ".In this case, also can obtain the calibration result same with present embodiment.
In addition, in the above description, illustrated corresponding and the photography conditions of decision with selectable each photography scene under logging mode, be to constitute by implementing the control content that specify image capture realized when the photography like that by as shown in Figure 3 " color contrast ", " acutance ", " saturation " etc., i.e. situation about constituting by the image quality regularization condition among the present invention, but according to the photography scene, sometimes in the photography conditions corresponding, comprise the control content that realized by the action of the photography beyond the image processing, be mechanical condition with it.
As mechanical condition, for example be the relevant photography conditions of control content with photographic optical systems such as " focusing ", " apertures "; Adjust the relevant photography conditions of control content of the imaging circuit systems such as " EV compensation " that the gain of amplifier (AGC) realizes with the gain of " shutter speed " that realize by the electric charge accumulation time of control CCD2, electric charge accumulation time by control CCD2 and analog portion 11; With the photography conditions of realizing by the component part beyond control photographic optical systems such as " photoflash lamp are luminous " and the imaging circuit system.In addition, for the photography conditions more specifically that comprises above-mentioned mechanical condition (control content of a plurality of photographic parameters), will be explained below.In addition, in photography conditions, comprise under the situation of mechanical condition, wish to carry out following processing.
At first, as present embodiment, obtaining in the formation of final correcting image 212 with the image processing in different 2 stages of treatment for correcting (step S8) again, carry out following processing by inverse transformation treatment for correcting (step S6).That is, the photography conditions when photography comprises under the situation of above-mentioned mechanical condition, wishes the contents processing of additional corresponding above-mentioned mechanical condition in the contents processing of above-mentioned inverse transformation treatment for correcting.For example, when carrying out the inverse transformation treatment for correcting, on the basis of above-mentioned processing, carry out and can obtain and image processing based on the opposite content of image processing of the approaching effect of the effect of above-mentioned mechanical condition.In this case, the image quality of document image can be corrected into the standard picture quality of more approaching reality.
In addition, in this case, when carrying out the inverse transformation treatment for correcting, become the standard picture quality of correction target, also can be to be equivalent to the time only carry out image quality under the situation of AE control in photography, that is, be equivalent to used with specific shot body kind irrespectively, only according to the image quality under the situation of the photography conditions of the setting state of subject.In addition, also can be to be equivalent to have used the set point of aperture and shutter speed is set at image quality under the situation of the photography conditions of the state of the setting of hypothesis in advance as benchmark, that is, be equivalent to have used with specific shot body kind irrespectively, image quality under the situation of the photography conditions that is predetermined.
In addition, the photography conditions (image quality correcting condition) of (timing) comprises under the situation of above-mentioned mechanical condition when regeneration, wishes that again the contents processing of treatment for correcting comprises and the corresponding contents processing of above-mentioned mechanical condition.For example, when carrying out again treatment for correcting, also carry out obtaining with based on the image processing of the approaching effect of the effect of above-mentioned mechanical condition.In this case, can make the image quality of correction of a final proof image, more approach when reality is photographed, to have used the image quality under the situation of photography conditions of photography scene specified when regeneration.
And, according to the inverse transformation treatment for correcting of above-mentioned mechanical condition with also can comprise for example image recognition processing and image recognition processing in the treatment for correcting again.In this case, can carry out separating of specific shot body (subject that waits based on personage) and background, carry out different image quality adjustment respectively.
In addition, as previously described, even constitute different with present embodiment, with the inverse transformation treatment for correcting with in the mode that the treatment for correcting unification is carried out again, comprise under the situation of above-mentioned mechanical condition at photography conditions (image quality correcting condition), as long as summarizing the inverse transformation treatment for correcting and comprising the processing corresponding again during the treatment for correcting of treatment for correcting with mechanical condition, can make the image quality of correction of a final proof image, more approach when reality is photographed, to have used the image quality under the situation of photography conditions of photography scene specified when regeneration.
Certainly, in this case, because the combination of the photography conditions (image quality correcting condition) of (timing) when photography conditions during according to photography and regeneration, the content difference of treatment for correcting, so, the difference condition of a plurality of kinds of the combination of the photography conditions according to when photography and regeneration the time is stored in video memory 17 grades in advance, carrying out timing, as long as read when photographing aptly and the corresponding difference condition of combination of the photography conditions during regeneration, carry out getting final product according to the treatment for correcting of this difference condition.
Contents processing during here, to the concrete photography conditions under the situation that comprises mechanical condition recited above, its corresponding photography and the content of the treatment for correcting (image quality adjustment processing) of the document image corresponding with it described.Fig. 7 is the figure that is illustrated in the example of other photography conditions tables Tn under the situation that comprises above-mentioned mechanical condition in each photography conditions corresponding with utilizing the next selectable photography scene of best scene camera function, is the figure corresponding with Fig. 3.In this photography conditions table Tn, photographic parameter is made of the control project of " focusing ", " aperture ", " shutter speed ", " EV compensation ", " white balance ", " photoflash lamp is luminous ", " saturation ".In addition, in each photographic parameter (control project), be set with " night scene ", " personage in night ", " personage and night scene ", " flower ", " backlight personage " and wait the corresponding control content of each photography conditions name (photography scene).
In addition, " white balance " in the above-mentioned photographic parameter is though be the photography conditions of similarly realizing by specify image capture with present embodiment, but it is different with present embodiment for example to adjust amplifier (AGC) in the gain of above-mentioned simulation process portion 11, it constitutes and can adjust respectively under the situation of image pickup signal gain by each look of RGB, promptly, in the balance adjustment of adjusting Amplifier Gain by gain, in controlled mode, " white balance " also becomes the photography conditions (mechanical condition) that the control by the imaging circuit system realizes.
Below, the contents processing when photographing and describe for the content of the treatment for correcting (image quality adjustment processing) of the document image corresponding with it according to each photography conditions shown in Figure 7.
The photography conditions of photography conditions " night scene " by name is to be used to carry out based on landscape (distant view), and keeps the condition of the night photography of atmosphere at night.When photographing according to above-mentioned photography conditions, " focusing " is set at narrow bright spot (spot) the AF pattern of measurement range of AF evaluation of estimate, and, owing to suppose the deficiency in light quantity at night, the light of photoflash lamp can not shine distant view, so for the lightness of guaranteeing standard state to the range-independence ground of subject, " aperture ", " shutter speed " are set at automatically (according to the set point of AE control).Simultaneously, in order to ensure the atmosphere at night, with+the 2EV degree is that limit compensates (correction) EV value, photographs.
Therefore, for and in the treatment for correcting of the document image when having selected " night scene " as the photography scene, for example, obtain all average lightnesses of image, and all lightnesses of correcting image without exception, so that this average lightness reaches setting, obtain to have and the image of when photographing, having selected the same atmosphere of situation of above-mentioned photography scene.
The photography conditions of photography conditions name " personage at night " is to be used to carry out the condition for the night photography of main subject with personage's (close shot).When photographing according to above-mentioned photography conditions, " focusing " is set at bright spot AF pattern, and owing to do not need to shoot bright landscape (distant view), so it is luminous that " photoflash lamp is luminous " is set at pressure, and " aperture ", " shutter speed " are set at automatically, only shoot bright personage (close shot).Simultaneously, in order to keep the atmosphere at night, exceed with the 1EV degree and to improve (correction) EV value, and " saturation " improved one-level, photograph.
Therefore, to as the photography scene and the document image when having selected " personage at night " carries out in the treatment for correcting, if for example image is all carried out gamma correction, then since flash light irradiation less than background parts also be corrected, so in order to reappear the photography state with identical atmosphere of when photography, detect the profile of personage's part by image processing, by this personage part is optionally carried out gamma correction, thereby can obtain to have the image of the atmosphere identical with the situation of when photographing, having selected above-mentioned photography scene.
The photography conditions of photography conditions " personage and night scene " by name is that being used to carry out with personage's (close shot) and landscape (distant view) both sides is the condition of the night photography of main subject.When photographing according to above-mentioned photography conditions, by " focusing " is set at bright spot AF pattern, it is luminous that " photoflash lamp is luminous " is set at pressure, guarantees the lightness of personage's (close shot).Simultaneously, about the lightness of landscape (distant view), if, then personage's (close shot) is constituted dual lightness and proofreaies and correct because " aperture " is set at automatically, so, by " shutter speed " is set at the brightness of guaranteeing landscape automatically.
Therefore, to as the photography scene and the document image when having selected " personage and night scene " carries out in the treatment for correcting, by carrying out for example in all brightness histograms of image (histogram) distribute, make the conversion of expanding such view data between minimum brightness part and the maximum brightness part, to guarantee contrast, can obtain to have the image of the atmosphere identical with the situation of when photographing, having selected above-mentioned photography scene.
Photography conditions corresponding with photography conditions by name " flower " is to be used for the condition of photographing with Hua Weizhu.When photographing according to this photography conditions, make background flatten for focus being focused on flower, " focusing " be set at focusing range several centimetres with interior microspur (macro) pattern, and handle " aperture " is set at below the F3, to reduce the depth of field being shot.And " saturation " improved one-level.
