Video camera, device and the system of maximization view data
The present invention makes every effort to maximize the value of each aspect that can captive data, reduce and perhaps be used for its overall a fraction of unnecessary big storage, and expansion and the relevant part of existing attached camera chain, provide the function of new range to camera chain, thereby needn't be to common important the resetting of video camera design carrying out.
Following example and execution mode have been demonstrated the current structure based on projecting device, capture device and attached technology.
The scene of sunset is by hybrid camera structures capture of the present invention.This scene is caught by the lens that traditional or almost constant high-definition camera lens for example find in SONY CINE ALTA system at first.
Before running into the speculum that makes interruption that lenticular image partly turns to or continuous optional design, lens light is by focusing on and the scaling option is transferred to from catching the capture device that lenticular image that lens transmit is offset by initial.Play the effect of video servicing unit for this capture device of digital camera, second capture element that lenticular image runs into is not caught the full frame version of the final image of expection yet, so skew equipment is also realized the function of essence for the operator.This equipment per second is caught 24 digital pictures of the final image of full frame expection.In static camera structure, this element be if then may catch single full frame image, and single moment or " button (click) " more correctly to reflect video camera corrected in the aspect of catching for image section with being used to locate; Tube portion is not caught the fact that may appear in the whole one second time, for example " button " before, during or afterwards.
If the true part of lenticular image is transferred to initial capture device constantly, then lenticular image or its remainder continue on its path to meet with the optical element of motion, and in this example, optical element is what amplify, for example amplifying lens or lens arra.Amplifying lens image before this element is being caught, when " to its amplification ", this can be selection fixing effect or selection and/or variable in essence, may therefore comprise lens arra.
Suppose that the operator can change the degree of amplification, then this image data amount of representing that the operator can wish according to the final ultimate resolution and/or the operator of expectation is caught the structure of image.The limit of " amplification " of focus is big more, and the part that must be caught separately with the lenticular image in the framing zone of the final image that covers main expection is just many more.Side effect partly is, may will provide the synthetic key frame of individual image amount of information that may be huge and the general thing followed may interests from all these synthetic or " inlaying " images of catching generation, may comprise resolution.
For this structure, the operator is by selecting synthetic " triptych, triptich (triptych) " video camera setting, selects resolution of video camera " triplication " exceeded the maximum that its 2k video camera catches chip and catches potentiality.The multifunctionality of the parts of demonstration motion, for example 3 or 4 settings that part is caught, with the image rate of the demonstration ratio that obtains expection, here, the camera chip with rectangular shape that for example is similar to plasma scope is selected and is repositioned to revolve by video camera and turn 90 degrees in response to catching, be received as three different vertically catching with amplified version with lenticular image,, cover picture, as the shooting (pan) of panning of film, from left to right arrive left-to-rightly, or some of them change.Though in this camera structure, optics provides the variation of image " part " to this image reception " chip " or equipment, allow optics to influence the variation of picture size, avoid cover by the chip of motion or image digitizer than the general objective district on need bigger whole complete image to show, this has proposed for video camera size and optics challenge, and this challenge becomes preferred and the optics task is become more preferably the processing stage of may making.
Therefore, vertical that place, rectangular image receives light reaction digitlization chip for example and receives three different rest images to catch at one second time durations from optical array.Therefore, these parts by camera chain regularly, link and management, work to pull together and to realize the result that is provided with that expects.
Therefore the optical array that the part of the amplification of lenticular image and general skew is delivered to the motion of static capture element/chip moves three times discontinuously, for chip provides static period with sampling and produce the numerical data of expression picture excitation.Then, triptych, triptich reconfigure and next " drawing board " transmitted, be used for digitlization separately.
In the whole one second time, wherein have only three images to be caught by image-forming component, catch the aspect by digitlization verily and transmission from other image of lenticular image skew, 24 full frames of the final image of the expectation of being caught by lens with record are caught.Before the final image change that relates to triptych, triptich " key frame " composograph that is produced by other image capture device, these images also are used as video camera user's full frame video camera reference immediately, and can be used as initial edited image after a while.
Time code generator the cooperation that produces by the image capture device that separates, provide discrete link data between the complementary image, these capture devices are preferably incorporated in the same camera pedestal.Because the change after producing (and main) at least looks to full frame to catch for the data of the displacement of the image epitome of whole 24 frames of being positioned at one second IT, this data class is similar to " line frame " data, mentions that such data can be important by miscellaneous equipment rather than image capture device sampling.In addition, they do not need must be the part of " video camera ", but forms the one side of a plurality of data captures of " system ".
Here, for one second time, the end product of catching was 27 images of 2k resolution, because each image capture device is 2k chip capturing means in this version, chip is 3 chip parts.With respect to " triptych, triptich " synthetic all unique aspects of each part of interocclusal record to for example the time, therefore the image of these time encodings is clearly distinguished in memory.
After finishing on the 2k full frame material that editor is catching with 24fps, for example, 40 hours foot length is the foot length of one hour final expectation now.Computer management software for example then is equipped with visit to all images of catching to the unique view data conversion program of the present invention.Distinguish one hour foot length and remainder, program is moved on computers with " packing into " synthetic key frame relevant with the foot length of per second in the foot length under an editor of selected hour.
Computer is then carried out the synthetic function of handling as conversion to all key frames, eliminate overlapping between the part of each " triptych, triptich " and assemble can not with catch the nothing that differentiates about the full frame of framing and be stitched into.Yet, there are differences.A main difference is that computer is maintained the 6k image with key frame, keeps all information that each 2k from " triptych, triptich " catches.
As second operation of conversion, the full frame relevant with each key frame here per second caught a key frame and they is reduced to the line frame data.The aspect of parameter that provides and conversion program operation shows the profile of selected visual picture epitome this data based optimum system choosing, for example has sky, the petal of the details that can select degree and ability to see things in their true light, the uniform parts of glass.
The how physical record of shift position of time durations that these elements produce at key frame is provided now, and do not write down such data, computer imposes on these variations of position each image epitome of key frame, then to create follow-up 23 frames of information, also keep the 6k data threshold in those 23 frames each." back-pressure contracts " conversion has optional option, be used to handle and discern the relevant selection of image epitome that is not recorded in the interior demonstration of key frame, though all can be managed aesthetically and visually seamless result is feasible really, 24 frames of per second 2k image also are available.For example, the so low class resolution ratio moment than wisp in entire image may be undetectable in the middle of bigger entire image, and the benefit of wherein partial data of key frame being transferred to the image epitome is not problem or secret.
Benefit is that the simple configuration example that three resolutions improve only hints the possibility of 24 part key frame capture cameras, provides 48k key frame from the video camera that only utilizes 2k standard capture device.For example, when theater screen is brought up to each higher definition and data management potentiality, become more undesirable can for the screen in the system that spectators fully provide the 6k image at 1 couple of the STAR WAR that at that time takes to the very high technology of 2k.
Therefore, can not obtain under the situation of 6k easily, or in further execution mode, the 48k capture systems, here be according to disclosed and the configuration present capture device, can allow TV and motion-picture projection to obtain its projection necessary " production is finished " key frame data of " being reset resolution (re-res) ", and simply by turning back to source (catching) image with each improved display system compatibility.It is fully in composograph.
Further, when new channel and all in fact TV become high definition, expensive satellite 24 low class resolution ratios can be caught and transmit to per second and 4 extra low one-level resolution digital images obviously are advantages, for CNN at Altanta, come " resetting resolution " to high definition by synthetic 4 low class resolution ratios, be used to other 24 low class resolution ratios to reset the key frame of resolution with generation.In essence, the data of the much less finished traditionally of transfer ratio can cause having the foot length of " production is finished " view data that exceeds available any current high definition hardware with the broadcast material that obtains high-resolution; Foot length is " following ready-made (future ready) ".
For cinema, take with highest level and so following ready and extendible resolution performance of the projection of projection in today, for example be that available highest level is got ready in 20 years, be multivalence value is more arranged immediately.With the digital record that makes colouring information on the film that the twenties, black and white was taken, lose different, allow color scene accurately and real the reconstruction.
Fig. 1 illustrates hybrid imaging system execution mode of the present invention.Be called hereinafter electronic imaging element that the tradition of " chip " is provided with for example CCD optionally (and not being in essence) be repositioned to 90 degree A1.Therefore, be generally 1: 65 rectangular dimension similar 1: 65 dimension visual field (coverage) can be provided with different modes to the capture device of 1 dimension display transmission information, shown in A1, A2 and A3, when being factorized jointly, as than the single imaging plane in the bigger lenticular image target area that provides for such chip traditionally.
The CCD of perpendicular positioning or general be positioned to other photosensitive electronic imaging device of arranging with lenticular image and from left to right " move " continuously or discontinuously, though it is main allowing any motion of totally catching of the new portion of lenticular image C, for example, follow to A3 from the A1 position to A2.After reorientating, when to opposite side (from left to right from a sidesway, vice versa) time chip cover 1: 65 at least to 1, take visual field and can allow single chip (or 3 chip arrays for three times of big lenticular image zone, if color is cut apart) provide few to wishing that with the operator image in one second time catches, be in one second three in this example.With the image that separates " part " catch the same less or how can in the structure of native system, obtain, " the inlaying " cut apart or the fascination versions that produce lenticular image of catching more more, and may or inlay key frame for " the synthesizing " of more and more highly differentiating the more images data are provided, key frame can be caught gathering from different image sections under functional guidance of the present invention.
Taking between trapping periods even as big as three times of the lenticular image that covers whole zone, chip or other capture element move by this zone, and second function of hybrid system is the more frequent sampling of catching the positional information of the epitome in the lenticular image when the epitome in the lenticular image when the time durations of this second is shifted.
In further execution mode, finish catch position information along with the sampling of time with the second imaging device B1, receive part or all of identical lenticular image continuously or discontinuously; At the time durations in this a moment, other capture device moves and catches " part " of lenticular image on second imaging plane.Lenticular image redirect to another image-forming component to catch also sampled by the mobile imaging element and to convert all images data of electronic data/signal to, this provides constant (for example 24fps) record of the one-tenth two field picture of whole expectations, with when image epitome " location " information relevant with the image epitome at least when time in a moment IT that 24 image duration may be mobile.
Realized several objects by moving possible chip structure of the present invention.Have in the image information of final image that possibility exceeds available any known a lot of resolution doubly of static chip imaging device providing to produce, video camera static or that be used for the amusement imaging comprises that digital camera can use the capture element of conventional resolution potentiality.For news organization, for example, when their video camera per second is relatively side by side caught full frame video when catching 24 times, here the CCD sub-assembly of video camera " inlaying " or motion can only provide (as this example) three extra images to be used for storage via satellite and transmit, if in the open air, via satellite, then per second produces 24 final images that each has almost three times image information, any one of catching as 24 initial full frame images; Possible overlapping factorizing that will be between mosaic image is partly caught, and consider that all have the chip of identical resolution potentiality (for example 2k).
E and F have demonstrated the different size of the lenticular image version that is delivered to imaging planes different in the video camera, and wherein different image-forming component (chip) A catches identical picture with B; Catch as full frame for one, three parts of another capturing visual, moving this behavior of finishing, generation is by all information of the program of image data management computer execution, with for example seamless final version of sunset of picture that reassembles, suppose that A and B are identical chip/image-forming component type, then the B1 influence nearly is three times in single full frame image information captured.Fig. 1 illustrates to inlay and catches the chip influence with double data catching function in the full frame imager chip, and show, following discussion, the resolution of catching the full frame imager chip of " location " data do not need with relate to catch the series that topography catches resolution comparable.Topography catches the real final resolution of being responsible for by all final images provided by the invention.
It can be important by non-imaging data sampler influence that imagination has the hybrid camera that second full frame of 24fps data catches; As long as the continuous discrete record of the element that acquisition just is being taken between the sampling date of their selected quantity in one second time and any variation of position.For example, even the signal transmission represented of the line frame that produces the lenticular image of catching and/or scene and to receive sampling equipment be the example that possible replace of second image-generating unit (full frame) by lens (or other imaging device), providing influences necessary all data of final image and catches work in concert with parts of images, so that the necessary data of subsequent calculations machine to those final images to be provided.
Fig. 2 is shown as embodiments of the present invention with the hybrid imaging system structure.When 24 traditional fps catch when " line frame " image epitome position data is provided, near image area more rich key frame data can accurately replace the view data in each of 24 images, produce 24 images, each all has the data up to 12K.These images can not with differentiate from the image of the same scene of the imaginary video camera of the non-existent 12k of having image capture capabilities also.
Fig. 2 illustrates the structure possibility of the motion and standstill of electronic imaging element such as CCD and optical element such as lens/speculum, catches also event memory to obtain inlaying key frame.
Again, may be similar to video camera " video auxiliary " device whole 206/208 sub-assembly may by with replaced by the different pieces of information samplers of catching work in concert of 212 influences, and store by driver tape or other storage device 214.Wherein, as long as at the final image that the correct record influence of the image epitome of selected duration displacement is assembled from key frame (from by 212 data creation of catching continuously), just provide the seamless aesthetic results of 24fps of the smooth video of data threshold with full key frame.
Fig. 3 illustrates another camera structure of inlaying capturing function as embodiments of the present invention.Here video camera 302 is sent to two different image-forming components 304 and 318, for example CCD imaging device with lenticular image 324.The lenticular image transfer 320 for example speculum one-tenth two field picture that will be presented at the complete expection on the speculum 332 is sent to image-forming component 318, to be stored on driver, tape 316 or other image data memory section 314.
Optical element 312 and/or 328 is all represented lenticular image part 326 is amplified in the lenticular image part 322 of the transmission that shows on speculum 330, and preferably mobile discontinuously now static image-forming component such as the lenticular image part of CCD 304 of being sent to.Here, 24 different pieces of lenticular image 324 are by the time IT of element 304 at one second, are delivered to image data memory section 308 with 306, and it is driver, tape 310 or other image memory device.
When imaging parts 318 are caught 24 full frame images of lenticular image 324 of whole expectation, can reassemble by the program to uniqueness of the present invention of computer operation by the image section of 308 storages, rebuild the difficult problem of lenticular image in essence, as on watch-dog image 336, seeing.The benefit here is that " scanning " that optical element 328 and/or 312 is finished its image-region is sent to imaging device 304 so that 24 different clean image sections are caught.Imaging device 304 is in fact caught inlay " key frame " with 48k data nearly, for example, if 304 are imager chips of 2k capacity.
Therefore, position by " the line frame " of total image interior element or variation provides information, caught memory 314/316 by 24fps and be recorded as full frames of data, consider the final image that huge data are abundant, program can be created each the 24fps final image data that in this example the 48k data may be applied to 24 final images; Per second 24 frames by using the per second single image to provide resolution and standard resolution to catch for example are to be provided for moving the locator data at the element of lenticular image 324 ITs.
In addition, aided capture device 314/316 can be the same simple with " video tap (video tap) " annex of video camera.Yet the locator data of image epitome can be captured as strict view data or as the line frame data of catching by non-imaging sampler, and other transmission/receiving system that radar, sonar and being used to is collected in the locator data in the selected district is some examples.
So, as the static video camera of " amplification " with 5,000,000 pixel capture device is still caught a lot of data, even it is enlarged into the part of lenticular image, alternatively, the present invention allows several such " amplification " part of total lenticular image to be assembled to create picture one by one; If therefore 4 parts of image are hunted down, then obtain final rest image up to 20,000,000 pixels.In static camera structure, a series of image sections fast of the optics influence that is moved can be followed single full frame and be caught, want " by putting up " image section in the tram to provide, this position is by a full frame picture/catch a moment performance of cost; If not during it, then this preferably appears at before image section catches just.
When computer program of the present invention moves on the image data management computer, to inlay/synthesize possible overlapping the factorizing in catching, and seamlessly rebuild the full frame picture that has times over the lenticular image of any single resolution of catching (and data threshold) that influences by chip.In addition, computer and program management data are by " ' image epitome ' locator data sample ", preferably second full frame of lenticular image is caught, provide, on 24 final images, to distribute the synthetic key frame data of highly differentiating, according to the element that the true picture information of the positional information that moves that such element is provided comes the height of mobile key frame images to differentiate, this position of moving is caught by full frame or is provided with other location sampler of the mosaic image acquisition equipment work in concert of video camera.
Target image or light are sent to the optical element of inlaying the capture element of catching or the advantage of other image shift device is that the target area of light (being the light of lenticular image in this example) need not amplify with respect to normal situation.Here, static chip receives traditional lenticular image visual field, " displacement " of the epitome of lenticular image is sent to by the chip of optical effect/change, is capped and record up to all images of the mosaic image that comprises expectation part (supposing that it is 3 parts or 24 parts).When second capture element provided 24 frames of full frame information, this routine per second provided complete an inlaying/synthetic key frame.Yet, be selectively fully with respect to the frequency of each key frame that produces in the sampling of the position of moving of I picture epitome.
Fig. 5 illustrates and the rotation tomography element of the optics work in concert of the moving sub-assembly of chip for example.High-speed motion picture video camera comprises the element such as the optical element of motion, on the aforementioned means with the film that static image is provided to motion, discontinuous transmission, to promote the transmission speed faster by video camera, keeps clearly image simultaneously and catches.Here, further structure of the present invention has replaced interruption or " stop and carrying out " motion of image-forming component (chip) and/or optical element such as lens/speculum, rotation or otherwise the sub-assembly of the chip that moves and the optics work in concert of motion, image section is sent at least one chip (or image-forming component) to incite somebody to action clearly, change optionally the part of the lenticular image that the descontinuous motion of replacement catches of pulling together to move with the smoothness of cooperation parts, the cooperation parts are finished much circulations of (preferably quantity is variable) image section, inlay key frame to create before repeating this circulation at for example per second.
Increase the efficient of raw stock
The same with the VistaVision technology, film flatly is provided to film gate (film gate), and picture size is only limited as 16mm or 35mm " vertically " by the width of film (standard size).In further structure, raw stock (being 16mm in this example, though 35mm is example equally), raw stock itself do not need sprocket; Because the recording technique of today is selected and transmission is selected, sprocket be trouble and waste possible image storage medium.The image that the present invention provides resolution and quality (original) to surmount the information capture device of existing any numeral origin in the 35mm structure provides unique selection today to catch between the image trapping period and has only " tomorrow " numeral or the capable picture of handling of other technology.
Film optionally provides (disclosed standard or " after using is discardable " structure comprise the spool box that can use once again of only being packed into or not packed into by manufacturer) here by the film spool box of tradition setting.Film can be provided by horizontally disposed spool box; Mean standard stand up position 90 degree perpendicular to the film spool box.This has got rid of extra film management and location needs, for example rotates film 90 degree so that it enters the cylinder (roller) of the horizontal level of film gate, and then retreats 90 degree once more to replace in vertical film spool box after exposure.In this structure of describing for the present invention, the location of raw stock is useful.
Here, raw stock is provided to and optionally is similar to rectangle film display screen dimensionally as 1.66 or 1.85 (or for this structure, width is 2 to 1) and optionally variable film gate here.Advantage is, under the situation of 16mm film, if perforation maintains that one side goes up and the same wide with expectation, for example is 33mm or wideer in this example, and then picture optionally is stored in 16mm " height " or approaches on the emulsion surface of 14mm.Though may be owing to the unconfined in fact left side of each picture/right dielectric space, this width is optionally fully.
Therefore the present invention partly provides and for example be used for producing the device that the wide picture of 35mm and size are in close proximity to the picture of film and HD projection size on the 16mm raw stock, requires a spot of adjusting or distortion in the process of final image being provided for these screens.And as described, the 35mm raw stock may provide important device for foreknowable future, surmounts the material of the information capture/storage device of any digital system with generation.The emulsion surf zone approximately is four times in the image information of each image that is stored in the raw stock.In fact, the use of the 35mm film camera of 35mm double-sided emulsion film stock and change allow to increase every picture between 2 and 4 times emulsion area or more than to the typical zone of 35mm film capture, depend on the summary journal time quantum of the spool box of the film that for example optionally reduces to 10 minutes.
In a structure, single picture horizontal recording is on raw stock, and raw stock optionally is parallel to the horizontal line setting with respect to the lens of Film Recording plane and capturing visual.Occupy to the single picture and selecting of record and once be assigned to for example space of three frames of 35mm image.The size of images of such record optionally is in close proximity to the desired horizontal size of theater picture, the emulsion that utilize to increase, to a great extent and have minimum waste also " to shelter " to obtain the motion picture screen size as 1: 85 to 1 or even at more rectangular in shape needs.
Here, the use in the space of the emulsion area of three typical film frames compensates by using the opposite face also be used to the raw stock that writes down, cause approximately rolling up typical 1 with one of per second 24 frame rate, the summary journal time of 000 foot 35mm film be 10 minutes to just in time below 7 minutes, though total emulsion surf zone of each image is increased to 4 times that are approximately the zone on 35mm traditionally, if not in addition bigger recording surface zone.Be maintained 10 minutes with the material of 24fps speed, the emulsion surf zone on the vertical single face of the typical 35mm of standard raw stock still increases widely, and does not influence the standard recording time of film " volume ".
In addition, along with the film of today generally arrives " in the middle of the numeral " stage, the film of exposure does not produce " projection " in brains the fact is logical and intrinsic to the present invention.In fact, sprocket hole is optional in the film transmission device based on selected forward travel distance; Device can provide the perfection record (and coupling of the image by code or other device) of final image from one " face " of raw stock or bar and another side after the digital production.Therefore sprocket hole and other film area can all optionally be used to write down picture and other data, in other the selected device in emulsion or in being arranged on raw stock, include but not limited to magnetic recording material fully.
After the exposure of double sided stock, may be after handling film, in " division " or before being separated into two or optionally, the length of the picture that bigger level is taken can be scanned " data film " or " telecine " device digitlization of the repacking of big film frame; After digitlization, these " egative films " on thin bar are then stored with respect to traditional 35mm film, and " rescan " content that the technology that exceeds today can provide the possible future that is used for when scanning that has increase and data storage device.Therefore the frame of the shooting that these are bigger comprises extra view data, is used for producing or the application in future that for example today, available numeral originated from of conventional digital film about traditional 35mm.
Further, the present invention optionally provides direct reflection or relevant optics/image shift device, its film gate that lenticular image can be delivered on the one side of raw stock is used for record, and followed before raw stock advances to next horizontal frame of unexposed emulsion, be delivered to another film gate with staggered transmission; Therefore in this structure, raw stock only needs per second 12 frames that advance, to obtain the 24 fps summary journals that the two sides all is utilized.The image shift device is optionally to each corresponding lenticular image part that all rotation direct reflection or other devices is provided or passes through light-dividing device than big film gate.Lensization and hardware are suitable for adapting to the film gate that approaches the optionally variable-width of old " 70mm " film gate now dimensionally (" 70mm " film gate is with picture traverse, the depth of field of physical record and optionally write down the picture that approaches 50mm by the relevant photography aspect of " standard size " or door size impact, need adapt to the degree of kindred circumstances to optics and related hardware) naturally.
Therefore the present invention provides the device of the film that uses the selected standard-sized two kinds of sizes of 35mm exposure, for example provides resolution to take the shooting picture of record considerably beyond typical 35mm.Every picture more information that the digital system more traditional than today can be transmitted is provided to the picture and selecting of these Film Recordings, therefore provide may with numeral (with other imaging) shooting picture that system is more compatible in future, because bigger emulsion area is supported the image information of enormous quantity, surpass in addition for up-to-date digital movie option common image play source data.
Suppose that the 16mm form is used for occurring under guidance of the present invention, then may be printed the device influence with traditional direction and form final " photograph (print) " from the image of " level exposure " to traditional 35mm raw stock, with picture " printing " to another raw stock as " internegative " raw stock on the time change exposure levels and/or color aspect.
The target that comes to an end with " bigger " standard-sized high-quality egative film is included in the aesthetics adjusting of selecting in the digital field, and also benefit from for example unconventional use of 16mm of less standard size, to obtain generally traditionally by the picture of bigger standard size record or approach its picture.
In a word, the present invention provides to use " less " lighter device to begin to produce simultaneously the device of comparable " original negative film " surf zone and resolution and quality for bigger film standard bottom.Further, the present invention allows to begin with common 35mm system, comprise industry common lensization and frame, produce simultaneously and have the quality that to compare with the picture of " 70mm " origin and the picture of resolution, therefore realized surpassing the target of the quantity of the image information of during the initial photography of at present available any digital system, catching and storing, even initial use and projecting device uses more unlike existing digital technology such as 2k or 4k, because " existence " of original " egative film " of WeiLai Technology can extract very many image informations from for example 20k, make projection become " following ready ", and in fact than any existing numeral rise available more with following digital movie of source apparatus and TV synchronously.
Owing to make and issue the great expense of film, can provide the availability of the original negative film of synchronous future using with following capture device to increase and be projected in the following possibility that is shown more, suppose that system upgrade is bigger information management/display unit, and obviously do not change aspect catching of on film, originating from, weight and the expense.
Further, lenticular image is staggered to be delivered to the one side of film emulsion and then to arrive another side, this allows the double coated film emulsion that its whole length is advanced once, and do not use other selection of the direction of reversal film, or use continuous " ring " and reverse side or recking means for cargo, with the whole one side that allows video camera exposure raw stock and follow whole another side.Yet the present invention does not get rid of those or other selection that is used for the level exposure of raw stock on the two sides.
In another structure of the present invention, any standard-sized conventional raw stock is exposed by level.Usually " spool box " that be placed on video camera mechanical device and film gate back or top film storage device optionally is placed on the video camera back, as general in the video camera of Arriflex and Aaton; Yet this location is dispensable.
This storage device for example the film in the spool box be level rather than general upright position, if therefore for example captive camera lens (shot) is sunset/low horizontal line, then parallel with the horizon.Therefore, film will enter video camera mechanical device or the film gate zone in horizontal level, as the Arriflex video camera.Under the situation of 16mm film, the sprocket hole on each raw stock optionally appears on the top or bottom of raw stock, is used for exposure because it is brought to the video camera film gate; The present invention there is no need these sprockets are positioned on the bottom.
Under the situation of typical 35mm raw stock, sprocket appears at top and bottom; The present invention comprises having only one side to have the raw stock of sprocket hole in a structure, or in another structure, there is not sprocket hole, because numeric field has been eliminated the problem of record, mechanical device and the film gate of the such subsequent pictures coupling in optionally appearing at after the digital production by film camera reduced concern to the definite position of raw stock.
When the present invention provided exposure to " next rank that makes progress (next step up) " general emulsion area with standard size, the optics of film camera was modified to the optics of bigger standard camera similar; Provide more 16mm video camera as 35mm exposure emulsion area and 35mm video camera of the present invention that significant door is provided and may surpass the emulsion exposure area in zone to the 70mm raw stock that is exposed by known 70mm film camera (and 65mm with the relevant others of big standard size) therewith.
Optics also is adjusted to the correct exposure of the emulsion surf zone of the bigger setting of permission to the distance of film plane.
The width of exposure area is optionally variable, and is general to the high definition TV display, thus the ratio of width to height optionally display system/the unit with final expection is identical or similar.Yet though important structure of the present invention is (for example, providing the plasma TV watch-dog of high-definition content) at this important size, the width of door size is variable in the present invention.Therefore, the actual quantity of the film that moves discontinuously by the door zone optionally changes according to the setting that display system maybe may be intended for use material.For example, if material is intended for traditional TV display, the film to 1 ratio was exposed in 1: 33, the negative map picture of about 14mmX18.6mm so the present invention may expose in the 16mm camera structure.If the display of expection is high definition TV, the exposure egative film and the quantity that then move on to the film in the zone will become about 14mmX23mm; And if the wide theatre screen of final display and the about high X23mm of 14mm is the same wide.These sizes are very important, take intention as theatre screen, very importantly notice, present 16mm structure provides the obvious big emulsion area of typical 35mm video camera than today for the material of in fact making screen, and this is restricted to the emulsion size of catching wide " effectively " material of the high X21mm of about 14mm usually to widescreen.
In this structure, film gate is basically in same position, as all film camera of using traditionally.In the additional version of this structure, but the film gate level occur, or otherwise consider second film gate of other structure of the present invention, wherein the two sides of raw stock is exposed.
Though in two version-simple gates and two-door version, the optionally changeability of the frame width of exposure is one aspect of the present invention, changed the length that advances to the film in the film gate fully according to the desired width of selecting egative film.In this way, film negative is quilt " pruning " and waste as the 35mm photography is usually taken place never, and wherein vertical pruning allows the form fit of the just in time rectangle of negative plate size and some film screens; For example compare with the 35mm that can adopt by the camera chain of present configuration, therefore the present invention allows picture quality higher to such screen on 16mm.
Raw stock and video camera inner structure
The film camera that need not comprise double-sided emulsion film stock and double-sided exposure in the embodiments of the present invention in the ad hoc structure.
The present invention is optionally not vertical with lens surface areas with the double faced adhesive tape film gate exposure in presenting a paper, but being set to general film gate occurs, though consider optics and optionally direct reflection and/or other lenticular image transfer, two doors can be staggered (top and the following or difference place in video camera), if with whole lenticular image or use beam split then optionally its part is delivered to a door and then to another door.
In this structure, reference information can visually be stamped or as data tracking or other tape deck, optionally represents the picture of catching continuously with the frame that allows film, no matter one at another after immediately, still expose simultaneously or after a while.Therefore, raw stock can be managed by the general cylinder of film camera or associated components are experienced in ring or other the relevant video camera, so that provide the reverse side of the equal length of raw stock to be used for exposure.See United States Patent (USP) 5,687,011, it is here all incorporated into by reference.
The length of double coated film for example appears at emulsion on the two sides when moving by video camera, can connect the method exposure of a frame with a staggered frame, the image on one side for example, then on the another side, and then make film advance to next unexposed portion of raw stock, or whole length of film can be by the exposure of simple gate system, no matter it still is vertical catching lens parallel with image, or be provided with the reverse side of the equal length that provides by film direction inversion set in addition, or after first exposure, provide the continuous loop and the mechanical rotation of second raw stock, or provide other such physical method of same case.
In addition, reaffirming very importantly that double sided stock can be used as record " time " and strengthens, is not that quality is relevant, allows the two sides record of the raw stock that has the routine general to film camera " door " and expose size, as discussed above.Advantage wherein is, doubled writing time exactly, and traditional digitlization and film printing and handling implement are arranged to handle the upright position of those specific exposure sizes, image and the quantity of every picture " perforation " (or sprocket hole), if thereby double coated film " division " becomes two before digitlization and/or processing and/or film printing etc., only need make and (optionally) thin film strip to flow out (issue).The purpose of this invention is to provide weight and the same or analogous raw stock of thickness (no matter being single face or double emulsified) with the raw stock of video camera general management today, though this is not aspect essence or restrictive.
About raw stock of the present invention, in the single-sided structure of horizontally disposed raw stock, a kind of structure will be eliminated sprocket hole/perforation, allow film to pass door and move by the motion of cylinder (keep raw stock and/or in video camera), to allow because the extra emulsion area that such sprocket hole loses becomes medium/image record space.Yet the present invention also works with the structure of using general available film, such sprocket hole wherein occurs.Because two selections all can provide in future, optionally with respect to width and the option of highly regulating the exposure area in a structure, optionally provided, to allow the being with or without synthetic emulsion area of using best under the situation of perfs by given raw stock that provides.
Wherein, it is optionally that the raw stock of the present invention of shortage sprocket hole can transmit roughly by the instrument of video camera, the perfection subsequently of " record " of picture each other dissolves present digital field, or mark optionally optically or on other data storage device occurs, can consider the record and the film transport of laser or guiding in addition as the one side of raw stock, such principle or mark also are provided for the device of variable transmission video camera of the present invention, it incites somebody to action optionally, and adjustable one section film moves on in the optionally wide door zone, with the transmission of the each many films that expose of accurate quantification.
In addition, such video camera can be at variable speed operation, as traditional cameras, yet in bilateral structure, wherein 24fps is final " digitlization " or the display-object basis of expection, even digital display is being changed in real video/numeral, if target is 24 traditional pictures of time acquisition of per second, film only needs per second to be moved in the structure of staggered exposure (face 1, face 2, face 1, face 2 or the like) 12 times.
The raw stock that two-sided, two sides scribbles emulsion can produce in various structures.In a kind of non-limiting structure, the raw stock of two sections " thinner " is combined closely and is used for the conventional weight of video camera and the raw stock of thickness to produce one section, although emulsion appears at the two sides.Can produce other structure of the raw stock that two-sided two sides scribbles emulsion.Further, optionally, can be provided at the opaque section between the emulsion on each corresponding face, for example white celluloid (celluloid) and/or plastics or other reflective material, in the digitlization stage of double-sided emulsion, wall scroll can be kept or be created as to raw stock, as traditional raw stock; Therefore mean that according to considering so reflexive opaque materials after a while, digitized light reflects from film emulsion, to allow digitlization, as reflection technology, rather than as the light that passes through the raw stock projection usually.
If digitlization in this way has enough quality with respect to projecting method, then avoided the needs of " division " film with other use of the digitlization that is used to separate or printing or each lightning strip.By being configured to digital unit for this purpose, film can be by then another side or the digitlization simultaneously of two sides, one side, and keep and be stored as optionally wall scroll with conventional raw stock same thickness and weight, unique is not both, and this double sided stock comprises the image-recording region device of twice.
In the management of the picture of in this " two-sided " structure, taking, data refer on each face of film itself for example picture or other magnetic or in addition the data of record optionally allow all raw stocks to be scanned, even and " second " can be digitized certain time after article one, in the structure of the raw stock two sides of " division ", time code or picture reference information (" data ") allow calculation element when picture is hunted down picture to be gathered into its correct sequence automatically with digital form.Therefore, though not by this restriction, the present invention is suitable for being predefined for to a certain extent the film capture of the picture that is digitized and/or manages most in digital field; Even turning back to film at last is used for showing or other purpose.
The quality of film capture and efficient
The key frame of submitting to can be video/digital material by identical lens exposure, and it is used for the numeral " record " of the material of numeral origin subsequently.
Aspect of the present invention is not by the term video limits, because if the numeral origin for example is used for " high definition " material, digital picture and digital visual data are applicatory really.Further, be stored in high-definition image on the tape and do not get rid of or be not limited among the present invention, or how described numeral (and/or video) image is stored in the invention on the tape, in " driver " or on disk.Problem is the optionally exposure simultaneously (by identical lens or optionally be arranged to catch the lens of similar material) of the shooting picture of video and/or digital material and same or similar picture.
For the quality that influences film capture and the new selection of efficient are provided, here disclose image in conjunction with video and/or numeral origin on any standard size, expose the system of shooting picture or method optionally further aspect, and by identical lens or optionally separated but be arranged to catch by the lens of the present invention's use.
On the one hand, film size is the 16mm film, and video media is digital high-definition, for example the numerical data and/or the video data of being caught by CCD or other electron capture device.
In 35mm structure of the present invention, no matter film is by level exposure routinely, still exposing on the one side of raw stock or on the two sides of double-sided emulsion on the raw stock of two sides, chance is optionally to catch to comprise standard that surpasses today even the raw frames that surpasses a large amount of picture datas of old 70mm film capture system.In addition, for possible following numeral or other picture device of the extra picture data that may utilize big egative film zone, for example can manage " 20k " or higher system in future, this is appropriate.
Further aspect of the present invention is provided at catches above the picture of 35mm traditional images quality and surpasses device to any digitally captured 35mm image of conventionally available movie theatre device on the 16mm.
The selectivity option of the image of catching the film origin that is less than 24fps here, is provided.Further, " video tap " is actually high definition video (and/or numeral) and catches and storage device.This realized the previewing of the enhancing that between trapping period, is provided with (preview), as digitally captured picture with conventional digital rate such as 24fps 29.97 or 30 or other known selection of being used for the numeral origin double goal of material is provided.Further, the picture of numeral origin comprises the relevant contrast view data of picture with the shooting of for example optionally catching by identical lens, by beam split and/or image shift device such as speculum and known optics, is used for the later cross-reference between the picture that picture and film in numeral origin (or storage) originate from.Can provide magnetic stripe or picture with reference to or film on other data recording equipment, to consider between two types the picture material of origin easily and optionally contrast automatically.In this structure, film camera is main, and digital units is a Relative Equivalence or less important with respect to " online " capture material.
The further use of this method is expanded, and not only is used for the material of " restaining " digitlization origin to confirm the picture of taking.Highly the combination of the picture of the shooting of Fen Bianing is by common device and exposure carefully on convention, generally caught and stores optionally in same or analogous some processing with second of the digitally captured material of same scene and/or picture by the director of photography.
Here Kuo Zhan purpose comprise the material that may be different from the numeral origin of restaining the film origin material expectation aesthetics and produce the back and use.Further, " distortion (morphing) " and the relevant image inference technologies of for example extrapolating can provide proprietary software with the permission following content:
With than traditional for example 12fps or even the frame per second also lacked of per second frame still less so do and catch the shooting material.Therefore allowing not occurred as mathematical approximation by the extrapolation of " intermediate frame " of film capture as the present technology of one aspect of the present invention, is basis with the interference of the displacement between the frame of the position of numerical data and available " the film origin " that is digitized.
Further, definite device is provided at " distortion " of the deduction picture between the picture of available shooting or sets up, as the material of high definition digital origin.Wherein, picture exists really highly clearly, and may help to set up picture deduction and/or distortion, this picture is not taken, but still sets up from the picture element of taking.The position of the picture epitome of taking is fully can reference in digitally captured picture, and this digitally captured picture also is replicated to the picture that is used to begin preview and initial editor.
In fact, all editors that use the digital material that originates from before receiving the picture of shooting, after handling, to begin even to finish projection with digital form.In " clean up editing " of digital original paper and/or relevant intermediate product, the material of material " replacement " the numeral origin that digitlization is taken, by checking that management system or relevant numeral " check " that device for refining is optionally before the additional adjustment picture, optionally as the terminal stage after producing.
With respect to the material of high definition origin, the picture code contrasting data that is sent to its digitized version from film negative is optionally considered and the accurate contiguous picture that contrasts of each frame.
Therefore, several objects is implemented:
The 16mm film optionally provides traditional 16mm of vertical exposure and fabulous 16mm picture on the one or both sides of raw stock, this raw stock can be with for example 12fps exposure of optionally slower frame per second, to allow long writing time from the monovolume raw stock.Further, the picture of level exposure can provide every picture greatly to the emulsion area of about 14mmX33mm, surpasses general 35mm film and plays source quality, and optionally do not change, or even increase the summary journal time that the monovolume of 16mm provides simultaneously.
Optionally in fact the frame of seldom taking can provide the shot image data of sufficient amount to come to infer on the numeral under the situation that is with or without the material that uses the numeral origin.Further, the disclosure of two film gate allows the two sides that the exposure on the two sides of emulsion is arranged, and lenticular image at first is delivered to a door then to another optics the active area data recording area that wherein provides is doubled.In a word, the present invention optionally allows the final result with digital form or other visual format, the final film that comprises the shooting picture that surpasses traditional quality of taking of 35mm and/or resolution, optionally keep simultaneously all or even increase the general record time that provides by a volume 16mm film, for example about 10 minutes.In a kind of structure, be doubled to every volume 20 minutes writing time at least, obtain the emulsion area of about 35mm shooting quality simultaneously from the 16mm raw stock; Numeral extrapolation device and/or double sided stock help this achievement.
The further interests of the amount that the variable film gate of level exposure and film increase are optionally used, allow the picture of any standard-sized shooting to keep the complete vertical effective posting field of raw stock, if for example 35mm 35mm does not have the sprocket film and is provided, then the raw stock of big (broad) quantity of selectivity by each picture that is provided for exposing is regulated and is shown ratio (1: 33,1: 65,1: 66,1: 85,2: 35 all is 1) simultaneously; Therefore influence the length of at every turn optionally being interrupted " advancing " of raw stock, so that the next part of unexposed film stock to be provided to the film gate that optionally changes.Seldom or waste does not occur, or then shelters showing in the specific raw stock ratio of ratio providing, and all rectangle display systems are no matter how narrow or wide all may be served by the picture that exposes according to identical screen ratio.
For the 35mm raw stock, a kind of structure comprises the raw stock that no longer comprises perforation/sprocket hole as the 16mm camera structure.Yet, at present identical situation is described and still requires the improved image-recording region of a kind of structure in the time can utilizing, the present invention and described top device allow the film capture from the good picture of the old 70mm film origin of the ratio of 35mm film, do not reduce simultaneously, in fact optionally increase by 1,000 or summary journal time of providing of the length of other size or 35mm film.Therefore, when 24fps or camera negative still less can be higher information management system such as 20k or higher system view data are provided, this egative film can be stored and in following reference, and digital information that can not provide with the picture data of the capacity that utilizes so following modular system and selection is provided for this.
Further, the material of numeral origin can be used for influencing final digital material, optionally its appearance or others; The material of numeral origin can provide resolution or the aspect to the intrinsic raising of such electron capture to the image of shooting, optionally can help from the digital picture of the material production of reference number origin and film origin.
So, in further system configuration, manufacturer can be system raw stock is provided, no matter be traditional or be applicable to that general numeral " is checked management " and frame " deduction " or be out of shape software, optionally optionally expose in the same or analogous time by identical lens, numeral contrast between the picture that numeral and film originate from means the film frame of the optionally level exposure of handling and optionally scan the possibility different in width, together with other necessary aspect of structure of the present invention.
Therefore incomparable effectively film camera provides the material of shooting to be used for the best present and following resolution in some aspects and selects, and desirable " video is auxiliary " catches by the lens identical with film with the form of high definition digital material.Final result is photography sight and the setting of device sight that minimally changes, that improve or at least minimally influence the shooting time of the raw stock of each quantity, and do not take into account or improved final " film origin and film outward appearance " numeric results, optionally be equal to or higher than from next " bigger " standard size and (provide the 16mm of 35mm quality, the 35mm of 70mm quality is provided, or the like) such result of general film system.
Present use does not limit, and follows with respect to the identical scene and the fact of producing existence though there is high-quality to take with the material of digital origin; Selection outside described content exists and will exist with respect to good film negative and with respect to the existence of the high definition digital material of identical shooting or lens picture.
No matter be applied to conventional raw stock and conventional vertical exposure and frame size, or raw stock and the exposure method revised, execution mode has as the present invention described herein improved the efficient of image quality and/or film capture.
Horizontally disposed film gate
Providing to raw stock in the camera lens image, horizontally disposed here door is exposed when creating option, catches the quality selection to increase image.Further, optics (and/or specular-reflection unit) can be spent by " rotation " lenticular image 90 before lenticular image is provided to vertically disposed raw stock, conventional film video camera as today, wherein fixing or variable film gate with respect to lens and captive scene not at common horizontal level, but being offset 90 degree, the width of exposure area is selectable on raw stock on the film gate.
Therefore, the film spool box of video camera does not need to reorientate and raw stock does not need to twine or reorientate, to obtain the horizontal film plane with respect to lens, as disclosed in the past.Here lenticular image picture (light) is rotated and/or rebounds and transmit with 90 degree skews, as comes across the film editing desk that platform can load, and the raw stock image is rotated to be presented on the projection watch-dog.In addition, the optics of 16mm system is optics or other selection of 35mm video camera, comprises the customization selection, is delivered to raw stock to allow bigger image-region.And, the image-region that is used to expose on the raw stock surpasses the image-region of " next higher level " film standard specification, because film is with respect to the level exposure on raw stock of its length, only limit to allow selected final display system/selection size of picture altitude basis or ratio, and variable picture traverse is only limited by selected image rate by standard size.See accompanying drawing.In essence, as disclosed herein, revolve for the film gate of variable type alternatively and turn 90 degrees, and be provided with and also revolve the lenticular image that turn 90 degrees, to allow the ratio/size correct exposure of lenticular image with expectation, though flatly on raw stock, opposite with the general film system of today, wherein picture is by vertical exposure.The width of picture is only limited by the normal width of raw stock.
Hybrid digital and film camera
Relating to another embodiment of the invention is hybrid digital and the film camera of utilizing traditional 16mm egative film motion picture film stock.About standard-sized application, and the no sprocket version (or sprocket only on a face, as single perf raw stock) that it should be noted that any film gauge size allowed the correct application of this option below this never limited:
Here, the conventional 16mm film gate (vertical) that is associated with 16mm motion picture video camera is replaced by " the two-sided door " of change, should " two-sided door " adapt to two 16mm raw stocks, emulsion is outside, towards lenticular image, the sprocket hole that allows raw stock is on two " outside ", therefore also on two-door left side and right side.
The film transmission device of the link that separates allows one side optionally to moving down, and the another side or the bar of film upwards move simultaneously.The unexposed portion discontinuously of raw stock is " side by side ", has only very little bar or line between the raw stock of the separation of catching of interfering lenticular image.
Optionally, the lenticular image that is transferred to the bar side by side of emulsion occupies conventional 16mm or senior 16mm frame zone.Therefore, single picture roughly is transferred to the zone of (optionally) emulsion, comprises the bar more than two separation in traditional 3perf 35mm image recording structure/zone; In fact, be that the 15mm height takes advantage of 26mm wide optionally by actual area provided by the invention, every two vertical frame/perf side by side provide the overall area of 364mm2.This is to by the raising that optionally surpasses the emulsion that 5% 35mm 3perf (1: 85 to 1 image rate) provides.
No matter be captured as the synthetic of single image or catching of separating, " key frame " method of the frame of use to utilize taking improves the resolution and/or the aesthstic aspect of digitally captured material, and the 16mm film camera that the present invention allows selected change is caught with each picture data that surpasses 6k and injected the necessary view data of digitally captured picture.
Proprietary software allows the such image on two emulsions to catch by time code or other image encoding reference unit reference, is applied to locate or the numeral of selecting respectively origin picture interior and that optionally catch by identical lens on every side in the captive time of described key frame.The material of numeral origin is optionally with normal frame per second, as per second 24 frames.Optionally flicker free and optionally the material of high definition digital origin can be in the establishment (for example per second 24) of final picture optionally provide image area (epitome) locator data for the correct distribution of the key frame images data of taking, this is embodied in the excess of every picture image data 6k, is applied to result more than the picture of one numeral origin as key frame data.
Here, be provided for the contrasting data of the easy and/or automatic reference between the key frame picture of the picture of numeral origin and shooting at the device of magnetic on the raw stock and/or picture coding, being used to produce the back uses, this device optionally is limited to the featheredge or the edge of the punching side of raw stock with shooting area, or is limited to other zone of not limiting the emulsion area that is used for the image record.
Therefore, raw stock in a kind of structure is from the unexposed raw stock of monovolume, as traditional film camera, lenticular image optionally is diverted, to allow by the digitally captured and complete lenticular image of recording device records, identical lenticular image provides complete lenticular image, being used for optionally exposing on raw stock is the image of for example 1: 33,1: 85,2: 35 variable ratios, and this raw stock optionally provides the emulsion area of catching greater than conventional 35mm for for example movie theatre.
Near the left side of door after the initial exposure, the raw stock experience is reorientating of the cylinder by other device for example, allows the raw stock of " upset " to return, be used near the opposite side of door, exposing, " emulsion " still towards outside, towards lenticular image.Optionally, " double sided stock " can allow film to turn back to arbitrary, and the two sides all comprises film emulsion, and all final results of monovolume raw stock of exposure fully of two sides are arranged, and comprises potential image in the emulsion on the two sides of single celluloid strip.In simple structure, conventional single face 16mm raw stock has been described.
Optionally, each door " side " for example exposes on " frame " of two routines regional or relevant with two perforation of raw stock emulsion, and advance and skip following two, because another side can use this raw stock expose by phased manner " another side " of ongoing lenticular image.Automatically optionally after the picture that projection originates from from numeral is edited, to the time code of each perforation with reference to or image section make the mixing of picture part store easily and be distributed in the position, and the key frame picture taken of the digitlization of resolution of selecting final picture to be used to influence to have raising and/or aesthetic appearance.
Of the present invention further aspect in, the increase of image quality and also efficient raising are provided.Because use software after the suitable production, the single key frame of per second can be used for influencing whole " second " of the picture of numeral origin at least, for example 24, the general monovolume 16mm film of about 10 minutes writing time that only provides can optionally provide 60 minutes in fact now, and 4 times of " outward appearance " results to the final film origin of the normal resolution that is provided by general senior 16mm system also are provided simultaneously.Optionally, can the expose frame of more key frame and/or different total emulsion surf zones of per second, every volume film provides writing time more or less.Suppose that a volume per second provides the respective image of 6 key frames or per 4 numeral origins that a key frame is provided, and then still is no less than traditional 16mm video camera and register system with 24fps speed the writing time of monovolume film.
The present invention can offer raw stock traditional " loading " bobbin (spool), and the least possible or selectivity changes the mechanical structure of film camera necessarily; The raw stock that passes twice transmission of two-sided door is crucial change and machinery change.Further, in the film camera of changing, two volumes or two films that separate can be transferred to two-door, and the volume that allows to separate almost passes through the transmission of double faced adhesive tape film gate in identical direction.In this structure, advantage is that the total amount of raw stock further increases writing time, the less raw stock for example fact of the 16mm opposite with 35mm can provide and has the image of catching higher definition than the tradition of 35mm raw stock, and further advantage is the needs of having eliminated by various devices of reorientating " winding " raw stock, allowing it to be exposed and to be retransmitted to the opposite side of double faced adhesive tape film gate, optionally exposing again before loading spool with in the past identical direction (upward to downward) or in opposite direction to turn back at raw stock that will exposure.
In addition, this system optionally relates to hybrid camera, wherein the digital image capture device is caught fully traditional image by identical or adjacent lenses with optionally standard frame per second such as 24fps and is caught " reference " or key frame that simultaneously two-sided door optionally provides the very high-quality of identical or very similar lenticular image/picture to take.
Add that very importantly the application of the horizontal aspect of film gate and film emulsion record provides the huge gain of resolution, and no matter what related film gauge size is.Described with the display size of 16mm raw stock, the expection of 1: 85 ratio and therefore image catch the relevant improvement of size, and one of them key frame per second produces from celluloid/raw stocks of two equal length:
It is wide optionally to be increased to the high X45mm of 24mm with the emulsion area of two exposures that are set to " top and bottom " rather than the left side and the right now, optionally provides the 12mm of whole picture trapping regions or the perpendicular recording/emulsion area of half from every 16mm raw stock of the same section that optionally moves in opposite direction.This expression comprises the total final digitlization key frame above the data of catching from 16mm of 18k.Further, because per second only produces a key frame on film, the summary journal zone of single 400 feet volumes of tradition 16mm raw stock still is increased to 20 minutes to being lower than traditional 24fps that " 2k " catch, and total Film Recording time is doubled, and has increased about 12 times of picture quality simultaneously.This is important really, because filming shooting logic and method are not taken into account, device not weight and optionally structurally change significantly, and not only do not require in the far-reaching increase that image quality is provided than multimedia, and to the less for example needs of half in this exemplary application.
In addition, horizontal door structure selectivity ground contact or one are in close proximity on another and place the emulsion bar each other.The optionally variable posting field in horizontal door zone optionally exposes from the image of 4 perforation wide (to the TV ratio) to 6 wide (to 1: 85 movie theatre) and up to the image of 8 wide (widescreen) ratios that are used to provide 2: 35 of perforation, 2: 35 ratios obviously are every picture result's of about 23k of producing from the 16mm raw stock final image data, and writing time, still every volume improved almost 16 minutes.
Mention that very importantly the critical aspects of proprietary software of the present invention is that " elimination " appears at the closely spaced folded part between two films or the digital device of " data of omission ".The image of numeral origin for example comprises necessary all data of seamless distribution (in 2k resolution) from " half part " of the view data of raw stock, because the little line of " 2k " image resolution ratio of half part of the very high resolution of combining closely is discord or obviously.Further, the aspect of software of the present invention optionally is included in extrapolation acceptable " conversion " view data between half part of separation of raw stock, for example catching from the seamless final picture of system of the present invention.
Improved aspect is the emulsion area of exposing and here describing in detail, and mobile optical device or mobile " door " that needs to use do not install, because two emulsions are exposed simultaneously: here the two bars of 16mm provide wall scroll 35mm the resolution of horizontal 8perf.The quality of the increase of digital image capture and writing time
The various structures and the selection that are used for imaging relevant with hybrid camera is provided, and this video camera allows quality, the writing time that is used for the amusement imaging and other favourable aspect of increase, for example is used for movie theatre and TV and other motion medium.
On the one hand, medium of optionally catching simultaneously with the aspect of another media capture are used to influence the latter:
In order to enlarge resolution and may to disclose a kind of all digital mixed structures here for the amount of the total data of every picture of still photography and motion media capture.
Of the present invention further aspect, the high definition digital video camera is optionally caught the complete picture of lenticular image and is caught, and optionally by identical lens part with the lenticular image of high-resolution, wherein said part is in order to influence or to be caught the purpose of influence by described complete picture and be hunted down, and described complete picture is caught optionally has lower initial resolution.
For example, a kind of structure of the present invention comprises that the standard of the image that transmits by camera lens or " normal high definition " video (numeral) catch.This is optionally provided by " video tap " structure, only obtaining image from the part of lenticular image catches, and complete picture also optionally by its oneself independently lens catch, as single camera with a plurality of lens, or, be applied to complete picture after being used for catch/caught application by complete picture as the video camera that is configured to the separation of the unit work in concert of catching " the high-resolution part of picture ".
In further structure, wherein all pictures are by single lens transmission, complete picture is caught optionally from the least part of lenticular image and is obtained, only require " light " or total image information of the fraction of collecting by these lens, be used for that (for example 1: 66 to 1, or arrives at 1: 85 with selected depth-width ratio
1) correctly reproduces the lens picture.
Initial complete picture is caught and can be occurred by common CCD or other " chip " or to other common single or multiple electron capture devices of digital image capture, and be recorded on the tape, on driver or transmitted and to be used for electric transmission or any selected device, with record and/or transmit the numerical data of catching.
Relevant with time code or other picture mark/tracking data device is provided, and kept/record with respect to each picture that complete picture is caught, to be used as one aspect of the present invention subsequently, purpose of the present invention finishes with the digital picture of the change of the expression complete picture of being caught, though total view data of total resolution and/or every picture is arranged, surpasses aspect possible traditionally.
" subsequently " image capture apparatus of lenticular image, promptly, identical lens optionally for providing above-mentioned complete picture to catch, comprise optionally full resolution capture device, for example 4k digitlization chipset or be used to is caught other device of the picture of recognizable high photography or film graphics resolution.Yet here, device is used for providing the only part of lenticular image in a period of time optionally in as one second, is not captured the complete picture of chip/digitalizer by initial or of the present invention other image capture apparatus.And, be used to provide this device of the part of lenticular image further to comprise the device of the optionally overlapping or non-overlapping portions of the separation that lenticular image is provided subsequently.
In structure of the present invention, " chip " or digitlization plane/device are not smooth, but shape cylindrical or that have circle or justify moves with respect to lens to allow it.Further, can be included in this " cylinder " or the unconventional digitally captured surface/device more than one " chip " or imaging plane/device, allow second " catching " of lenticular image or another part seamlessly and image section in front occur apace after catching, so that in one second time course, the new part that for example one or more mobile " chips " or image capture apparatus can be provided with lenticular image, for example have (picture data) that produce a series of pictures a plurality of new lenticular image 4k acquisition equipments partly to provide, it is synthetic that described a series of picture can for example pull together to represent that the image section of single lenticular image is caught, this single lenticular image is in " gathering " in single picture the time, can represent to have optionally each picture of digital video for example and/or per second 20k optionally, 40k or even the single picture of the numerical data of 120k.
Optionally, complete picture catch for example every picture 4k itself or even 2k or even the data of smaller amounts can be after production or " template " of catching with reference to a plurality of " 4k " with the part that acts on for example complete lenticular image of gathering as time code.Catch this template that provides by complete picture and optionally catch, the useful picture position data that a plurality of very high-definition pictures that therefore comprise whole second of being used for digital moving picture data, are used for " being employed " are partly caught with 24,29.97 or other general digital video capture rate of per second picture.Reciprocally, this process can be recited as high-definition image and partly gather in the jointless mosaic, and the image epitome is caught by complete picture position mode information is provided, so image section catches and be affected, rather than complete image is caught and is affected.In essence, how the independence of picture data is not changed the aspect that they are used to pull together to create final digital picture by " statement ", be used for static photography, single picture or be used for sport video with the 24fps frame per second, the numerical data total amount such as the 12k that for example have high level, 20k, the video of 120k, optionally use deformation technology and/or complete picture to catch to come position that " location " image section catches and picture epitome wherein, catch as those image sections that may be excluded in the middle of them, be caught with for example 24fps by traditional complete picture and catch correctly catching of the total image epitome locating information that maybe may catch.
Lenticular image can partly turn to, with before being used for optionally the optics or other device that smaller portions with total lenticular image focused on, amplify and/or be transferred to second tape deck that 4k as mentioned above selects, the complete picture information that is provided for catching, and further have to revise and/or move with the new portion that transmits complete lenticular image and be used for subsequently the device of catching.
Therefore the time code that combines with " image area " reference data corresponding to " zone " of the given lenticular image of catching expression produces for example one second view data, comprise 24 digital pictures of catching and optionally according to 24 " image sections " of its image area data capture and reference, produce " single " synthetic picture of 24X4k for example or 96k from initial complete picture; When " the single picture " of the data of catching in one second time course is applied to complete picture and catches 24 frames of data, optionally use distortion and/or other digital hybrid technology, and depend on complete picture and catch and change the very position of the epitome of high-definition screen, for example expression is according to selected standard such as change color or distinguish the object that other device of image area is distinguished and/or the optionally discernible image area of image section, the result is seamless a second of digital visual data of the change of 24 pictures of expression, each is 96k, and all or most of position according to image area are modified, optionally mate the position in the true picture district that catches by the time of this second with the very high definition that allows the image area data " synthesize ", by being represented by 24 frames of the complete picture data of catching during digitized same second separately at image section.By utilizing the highest information digitalization device and reconfiguring the device of view data according to ambient data, for example corresponding complete picture is caught, and the new selection synthetic and here of available technology merges, and produces obvious enhanced resolution acquisition equipment.
As the swing roller in the photo dubbing system and other imaging system, different with the static transmission of completed lens image, here lenticular image optionally " motion " be transferred to optionally and move and/or optionally different acquisition equipment such as 4k CCD, single lens can provide catches necessary all image informations of image information of reorientating and change the relevant Limiting Level of device with single lenticular image-numeral, (as proprietary software of the present invention) can provide the new digital video camera system of the total data that has resolution and/or caught by the epitome of selectivity, can handle the image area that " how much " separate according to acquisition equipment and catch and how many data.For example, wherein per second has only the 2k image capture apparatus that three image areas are separated to write down to produce the 6k imaging system, uses described complete picture to catch to select to influence described 2k image section to catch, and wherein only needs maximum 2k image capture techniques.
Part by the selectivity that maximum image acquisition equipment/technology is focused on single lenticular image changes may provide the compatible necessary view data to the image management and/or the projection system of " tomorrow ".Mean, if 96k theater " projection " ability in 10 years, in one aspect of the invention, exists the device of catching view data to consider the digital picture of ultimate sequence at today.Each picture all comprises and uses the 96k data set and the resolution of the projection that will utilize " tomorrow "; Naturally, if " film " exists for 4k and the projection ability in several years is 96k, if film even may or be modified as and comprise by " gathering " more than 4k, as 48k or 96k, then the use of this film or its projection or attraction will strengthen in future technically, increase its long-term value and possible application and watch the life-span.
Exemplary application can comprise and be arranged to and catch static, smooth chip or other the image digitazation device the same simple situation of lens on a row; Or optionally have a digitalizer of the limited device of reorientating, this device of reorientating for example with respect to lenticular image from left to right " inclination " optionally measure.When lenticular image offers image digitazation device for example chip, optical element, speculum, prism or other image shift/when transmission influences device, then for example optionally from left to right, then next the 3rd, follow 1/3 of lenticular image be provided nextly.Then, the 3rd optionally for example is provided in opposite direction from right to left with respect to next second of picture data.Image section selects or turns to/and transmitting device can be " the or three 's " that for example automatically return to image by means of the motion and the position of its repetition rotating mirror or a prism; For example after revolving three-sixth turn, it turns back to the prism in its home position.
Therefore, if lenticular image transfer and acquisition equipment all move, optionally the flowing of different follow-up epitomes that same lens image then may occur caught.Perhaps, if the image shift device has the motion of interruption, for example when being transferred to static image digitizer such as CCD, the new portion of image stops three times, then the 4k digitalizer can provide per second for example about the view data of the 12k of lenticular image, a synthetic complete picture can be used for influencing 24 full frames of picture data, picture " upgrading " with the resolution of 24 " 2k " or resolution still less is 24 " 12k " pictures in itself, use the single of 4k view data of the different piece of expression lenticular image synthesize/to inlay, all parts all appear in the complete picture data of traditional for example " video is assisted " of the digital picture that the present invention catches or main acquisition phase with less resolution.
Aspect of the present invention comprises: how many different image sections of per second digitlization lenticular image; What they overlap each other; Per second is caught how many traditional complete frame numbers word images; Lens, second optics and/or digitalizer, chip or other device move, and these are institute's options selectively.The subject matter that influences the selection of these options is the final display system about resolution, aspect ratio and frame per second.
Purpose is to set up the digital picture of the resolution of the captured high resolution that surpasses available " complete picture " digitalizer.Making this feasible software select to comprise by time code influences the device of picture of same or similar image and contrast and select about other data that are identified as related image epitome: mobile lip can for example strengthen in 24 all pictures on the resolution in its 24 continuous complete full frame images of catching in one second process, therefore each part as picture only has single pair of high-resolution reference, may infer that lip moves, because their " smiles " are kept extra numerical data in the synthetic picture of two high-resolution, or move only the inlaying in the position of slight modifications that information is provided by the physical location that is recorded in the picture epitome in traditional complete picture digital picture.
In addition, inlaying of two high-resolution datas, the per second single frames of creating picture data all 24 frames of complete picture of corresponding Video Capture of can during " single frames " captive that second of two high definition information, upgrade for example, single reference or " key frame " of generation picture data.
Come the selectivity of key frame of picture data of the part of the lenticular image that turns to since another part to catch and be used to catch more traditional numerical datas, for example the 24fps of the data of 2k digital picture with the less capture rate of selectivity for example 1 total picture of per second set up, in order to be used to influence and to revise specific purposes for specific target, former thereby more traditional digital material of catching, " restaining " is corresponding to the epitome/district of the picture of " chromatic rendition of shooting " of those identical image area epitomes; Can consider more traditional complete picture is caught the present invention who is upgraded to high-resolution even is higher than the resolution of existing any complete picture acquisition equipment the digital application that the key frame of the gathering by being illustrated in the single picture that time durations that a lot of pictures are caught by more conventional complete picture device catches " is inlayed " here.
In addition, the related and change device in digital picture district and even common deformation technology make the present invention in good time, feasible and logical; Hybrid technology is all pointed out the approach of the digital picture changed in the simulation of the simulation of preferred " outward appearance " and enhanced resolution, whether selected the former be equivalent to raw stock is that original recording medium is overall, the latter is equivalent to whether very high-resolution digital quantizer is used to catch complete picture, or even surpasses the picture of up to the present current existing those pictures.
The quality and the resolution of mixing film and digital camera
Further providing mixing film and digital camera in the execution mode, wherein in order to catch image quality and to have the purpose of picture of the resolution quantity of the image information of catching above the traditional images that utilizes today with film, the medium configuration of being pulled together:
By " separation " visually by other lens light turn to/single lens that the optical splitter of separator is cut apart come the film camera of capturing visual to be retained in the conventional film structure of raw stock and spool box container.For 35mm motion picture video camera such as PanaVision device, this means the spool box on the top that is arranged on video camera, vertically transmit film and be used to expose and turn back to " loading " spool of film spool box container to door.
Optionally relevant with the optics of film camera and/or door or exposure area thing is changed in this structure.Further, the numeral of hybrid camera or electronic pictures acquisition equipment are high definition digitals, and picture quality is similar to the picture quality of digital camera device such as Sony CineAlta video camera.
Here, optionally lenticular image partly redirect to image capture unit or the selectively variable of the optics that allows to occur after other flicker free " video is auxiliary " device of the electron capture of lenticular image aspect a part with lenticular image focus on film plane, the film emulsion record that is used in film gate, being interrupted.Other stage that digital picture is caught optionally by lens that separate or single lens acquisition procedure occurs, yet the part of lenticular image is diverted with digitlization before the second aspect/process of the optics of native system method in this structure.Yet, when film plane not during the receiver lens image, conventional " video is auxiliary " for example selected can here optionally to use in the transmission of discontinuity lenticular image between moving period of film, and the digitally captured and conventional film acquisition procedure optionally that allows that traditional nothing touches is coupled.
For the purpose of the captured high resolution that increases, here difference comprises that the different part of the selectivity of lenticular image is to film plane, subsequently to the transmission (moving on to discontinuously in the door, as conventional situation) of the unexposed portion of emulsion.As " zoom lens ", wherein focal variation is sent to film plane with the different part of selectivity of total possible lenticular image or scene, here with optionally conventional 24fps or slower speed even 2fps, for example the different part of selectivity of total lenticular image is transferred to film automatically and is used for a frame and connects a frame ground record.For example, in simple structure of the present invention, be used for record by lens optics to the film plane transmission by the image of initial captured in given focal point settings.Here; optical element selectively variable and/or that move provides the amplification of the normal pictures of advancing towards film plane; half of complete lenticular image optionally is provided to the 35mm film plane; then after film was transferred to the next part of unexposed motion picture film discontinuously, second half of lenticular image optionally offered door and film plane is used for record.
In native system and method, not at the single lens picture that is recorded in a flash on one section selected emulsion, lenticular image is sent to the segregation section of emulsion in the stage two in this example, allows the picture of obvious different recording to appear in two continuous frames of the film emulsion that overlaps in the image content.Here, digital device or other device can use after production, to set up the single picture of expression from the completed lens image (being transferred to transmission of these variable Optical devices or other electronic image and change device) of continuous film frame.
What here obtain is image quality.For example, can be used for the width limitations of the emulsion of picture by raw stock when widescreen mute during at first by the 35mm camera record.Generally, do not having distortion ground to change in the video camera of the scene of catching, wide picture ratio even general televising program acquisition equipment take film emulsion still less; This is because to the ratio of the display unit of TV programme more " quadrate ", allow to utilize more " 4perf " emulsion area in catching single picture.Therefore, sarcastically, when being large screen display device as 1: 85 during to 1 cinema screen capturing visual, the emulsion that each original scene/image-region uses obviously is less than when using when showing the purpose capturing visual as the small screen (1: 33 to 1) TV.
The whole emulsion surf zone that finds in 4 perforation (vertically) of 35mm film can be used for writing down the selected part of the lens picture of the single frame that all is transferred to film.So in an example, variable optics can provide 12 or the demonstration still less on " left side " of the lenticular image on the single frame that is recorded in film, and 12 or the demonstration still less on described lenticular image " the right ".Therefore, in this example, can be trapped in two successive frames of 35mm motion picture film to 1 the same wide or wideer picture with video camera screen ratio 2: 35, if after digital production, combine closely " side ", then for the such widescreen display unit that is stored at first in total emulsion surf zone provides final picture, this surf zone is multiple times than and is used for the zone that routine is caught such lenticular image very much.This influences picture quality.
Further, be not limited to the level of lenticular image or cutting apart from left to right, complicated variable Optical devices can provide 12 separated portions of lenticular image for example or still less or more, and the part of lenticular image is from level or the zones of different in the primitive lens image vertically.Such capture systems then provides the digital picture of being caught by the electron capture device of hybrid camera from a second of 24 frames that write down high definition for example or conventional definition, 24 frames of for example known " video is auxiliary " device and 35mm picture films, wherein the structure selectivity ground of catching two frames of 4perf picture for the scene picture of each total framing produces for example emulsion of image quality, more as the 70mm film capture.Under the situation in 12 frames of film, if with the 12fps operation, wherein optionally unique part of lenticular image is transferred to each frame, and imaging effect can surpass any known method at present of catching the image that is used for amusement.
Under the sort of situation, from total image section catch the final emulsion surf zone that provides every picture huge is provided; In essence, the same big with the posting field of all 12 frames that are arranged together, more as 2 of still photography
1/
4" egative film.
After production, by existing deformation technology and optionally digital alternative, in case per second is one by gathering for example in number, digital picture of being caught or video just optionally provide uses 24 frames that the necessary all images element of the image locator data of taking arrives the digital material of origin.The result, demonstration and current very high-resolution display unit for future, big " key frame " of representing the data that the different successive frames of the film of single " scene " that be taken are created by pulling together provides following necessary all the original picture datas of display system, itself in addition may be above for example 30k.
Disclose unchanged relatively camera structure in one aspect of the invention, optics comprises that scioptics isolate the device of the different piece be used for being recorded in subsequently the scene on the raw stock.When being assembled by numeral and optionally utilizing the conventional digital picture of the full scene that originates from framing, be recorded in image " part " on the film emulsion record size of the increase of selected quantity is provided, be used for optionally digitlization and gathering, combine or not combination with the material of numeral origin.
Further, 24 frames of the digital material of catching optionally are applied to from the very high-resolution total picture of expression by (even 24) of single " scene " of cinematographer's structure different 35mm frame generation.Wherein, though in present some absurdity, perhaps not like this in future, distortion and image epitome re-positioning device can provide to be produced back software and allows different 24 frames of catching the full scene that generation provides by the full frame original digital captured of from single scene those 24, may every film frame produce 24 total frames of moving medium more than the data of 6k, each of that 24 frame all may comprise the data that surpass 140k.
Though the use to the 140k image is limited in today, validity that take to extract the ability of such picture quality from the amusement projection can influence the compatible of such projection and in the use in future in today, and the projection that wherein is restricted to 4k may be more undesirable to the system and the spectators of the very high-quality system in future that is suitable for watching for example.
In addition, in the simplest structure, picture to 1 ratio can be captured in 24 frames of 35mm emulsion in for example single 2: 35, as 12 " left side " of framing scene part and 12 " right side " partly (optionally the journal to interlock is left and right, left and right).
Consider effective use of 4perf emulsion area, for example surpass 12k and may be near 24 final digital pictures of the picture quality of 20k the time when being digitized to assemble to have optionally, with the image of described shooting pull together video captured material even " video auxiliary material " 24 frames can by with reference to or be used to distribute " side " of the picture data of shooting.
In essence, the 35mm video camera of today can provide about 70mm the film image of origin, means that images category is similar to the image of catching with 65mm or 70mm " device " and raw stock.
The 16mm video camera that for example has here mixed structure, purpose and device can provide the final picture that surpasses the conventional 35mm video camera of today just.And, with any standard size, optionally prolong the writing time of film media simultaneously.For example, if lenticular image or scene capture on the film of zone different as 6 or part, then add up to whole scenes of 6fps.So net effect is though conventional 16mm is caught at least 6 times of increase picture qualities, when film turns round with 1/4 of normal frame rate, to become 4 times the writing time of monovolume film; When the film capture reference frame, and the digital device of mixed cell is caught the full frame picture data, comprise with the displacement or the variation of the element of record during single second or reorientate relevant important images data, the frame that this view data may be taken " omission ".
Therefore, digital technology allows the film frame of the single gathering of high-resolution not taken into account in " element " of reorientating those high-resolution with respect to its counterpart in the picture of numeral origin.Therefore, in producing digital picture, do not have what and " outward appearance " with film of unconfined in fact resolution to take into account, and wherein prolonged simultaneously the Film Recording time significantly.
Therefore, though in some details, described aforementioned invention by diagram and example in order to understand clearly purpose, instruction according to the present invention is apparent easily to those of ordinary skill in the art, can carry out some variation and change to it, and not depart from the essence and the scope of claims.
