In addition, extract unit 30 out by actual object and handle the above-mentioned pictorial data that is positioned at the actual object on the display 28 that captures by camera 1, send visual synthesis unit 7 afterwards to, thus in visual synthesis unit 7 with synthetic by the data of the above-mentioned decorative image of storage unit 32 output etc.
In addition, except above-mentioned synthetic method, also can adopt following manner.
This is a kind of, takes actual object on the display 28 as it is by camera 1, and display 28 decorative image or the information that show.In this case, the composite image that also camera 1 can be provided directly sends image transfer receiving element 34 to.In addition, different with aforesaid synthetic method, at this moment images such as the decorative image that shows of display 28 or information is second-rate.
Specifically describe below among the above-mentioned steps 2j and extract the method that unit 30 takes out actual object on the display 28 out with actual object.
Figure 45 represents the concrete structure figure of actual object retrieval unit 30.The image storage unit of the image that the label 35 expression storage cameras 1 among Figure 45 are taken; Label 36 expression profile style storage unit, it carries out discrete processes and storage to the closed curve of input display 28 as the object profile candidate point of depositing in the image in the image storage unit 35; Label 37 expression profile sample deformation unit are used for according to certain rule profile style storage unit 36 all profile candidate points being moved; Label 38 expression profile styles intersection judging units, be used for whether having crossover phenomenon to judge to the closed curve that above-mentioned profile candidate point is connected to form, label 39 expression profile division unit, be used for when having detected intersection, profile candidate point being categorized into a plurality of groups by above-mentioned intersection judging unit 38; Label 40 expression profile candidate point formation/cancellation unit are used for adding new profile candidate point judging by above-mentioned intersection judging unit 38 not under the intersection situation; Or cancel above-mentioned profile candidate point, label 41 expressions are used to judge whether profile takes out the extraction that the finishes judging unit that finishes.
The course of work of the actual object retrieval unit 30 that constitutes in a manner described below with reference to flowchart text shown in Figure 46.Image storage unit 35 is made of common RAM, and the image that camera 1 is taken carries out digitized processing, and gives storage.According to represent that such as 8 bits the mode of its brightness stores the pixel data in the image of digitized processing.Actual object is described below extracts the operation program of unit 30 out.
The initial stage configuration of step 2j-1 profile candidate point:
Be input to n point of the closed curve (profile style) in the display 1 with constituting with an input mode by abovementioned steps 2j, be stored in profile style storage unit 36 as initial profile candidate point vi (xi (0), yi (0)) (i=1,2 ..., n).Label i represents to connect the profile candidate point order of connection of profile closed curve that candidate point becomes (profile style).Above-mentioned profile style storage unit 36 is made of common RAM.
The distortion of step 2j-2 skeleton pattern:
By profile style deformation unit 37 position of whole profile candidate points is moved 1 time.Thus, the closed curve distortion that profile candidate point is connected to form.In addition, this closed curve is to connect profile candidate point by the predetermined order of connection to form.
Realize the distortion of profile sample promptly along following direction each profile candidate point being moved by following manner, this direction instigates that predefined energy-Esnake reaches minimum in the profile sample.The energy of this definition will be explained hereinafter.
Such as, if each profile candidate point moves in specialized range, above-mentioned candidate point is moved to make Esnake (vi) reach minimum position, also can be to each profile candidate point vi (xi, yi) (i=1,2 ... n) calculate Esnake (steepest decline vector (the Esnake/ xi vi),- Esnake/ yi), by following mathematical expression above-mentioned candidate point is moved.
xi(t+1)=xi(t)-Kx(?Esnake/xi)
yi(t+1)=yi(t)-Ky(Esnake/yi) (1)
But, t (i=1,2 ... n) represent the mobile number of times of each point.In addition, Kx>0, Ky>0 is the constant number of the amount of movement of control profile candidate point.Move can be according to along profile one by one the 1st time of each profile candidate point, or with each point independently of one another side by side mode carry out.But (vi) under the situation of Zeng Jiaing, above-mentioned candidate point does not move at energy-Esnake.At this moment, sign *(flag) (vi) (i==1, for the profile candidate point that does not move, F (vi)=0 for F.(vi), can adopt each energy term sum as the energy-Esnake in the skeleton pattern by following formulate.In addition, can adopt various ways to understand according to the feature of object.
(1) Espline of the flatness of expression profile sample: Espline ( vi ) = ( 1 / 2 ) Σ i = 1 n [ Wsp 1 | vi - vi - 1 | 2 + Wsp 2 | vi + 1 - 2 vi + vi - 1 | 2 ] - - - - ( 2 )
The moving direction that makes the result of (2) formula reach the profile candidate point of minimum value is the direction that the profile style is shunk.Here, vi, vi-1, the i among the vi+1, i-1, i-1 add respectively alphabetical v.Above-mentioned situation is applicable to following mathematical formulae too.
(2) with the suitable Earea of area around the enclosed region of profile style: Earea ( vi ) = ( 1 / 2 ) Σ i = 1 n Warea [ xi ( yi + 1 - yi ) - ( xi + 1 - xi ) yi ] - - - - ( 3 )
But, xn+1=x1, yn+1=y1.The profile candidate point moving direction that makes (3) formula reach minimum value is corresponding to the direction vertical with the profile style.Adopt Erea, can take out the profile of the object that is concave shape.Here, xi, the i among the xi+1, i+1 add respectively alphabetical x.In addition, yi, the i among the yi+1, i+1 add respectively alphabetical y.Above-mentioned situation is equally applicable to following mathematical formulae.
(3) distance between profile candidate point is averaged the Edist of processing: Edist ( vi ) = ( 1 / 2 ) Σ i = 1 n Wdist { | dav - | vi - vi - 1 | | } 2 - - - - ( 4 ) But dav represents the distance between profile candidate point.(4) image brightness l (the vi) Eedge that increases of gradient: Eedge ( vi ) = - ( 1 / 2 ) Σ i - 1 n Wedge | ▿ I ( vi ) | 2 = - ( 1 / 2 ) Σ i = 1 n Wedge [ ( ∂ I ( vi ) / ( ∂ xi ) 2 + ( ∂ I ( vi ) / yi ) 2 - - - - ( 5 )
Make the result of (5) formula reach the direction of the profile candidate point moving direction of minimum value for the increase of brightness step value, promptly object is towards the direction of outline portion.
(5) image brightness value Eintens: Eintens ( vi ) = Σ i = 1 n EintensI ( vi ) - - - - ( 6 )
The result who makes (6) formula is that the brightness of Wntens>0 o'clock reduces (deepening) direction for the profile candidate point moving direction of minimum value, and the direction of the degree increase (brightening) of Wintens>0 o'clock.In addition, the Wsp1 in the formula of (2)-(6), Wsp2, Warea, Wdist, Wedge, Wintens>0 is respectively the main coefficient of each energy term.
Make the profile style produce distortion, make (2)-(6) in energy term sum reach minimum value, then initial profile begins to shrink, and for the outline portion of object, the profile candidate point that each energy term is caused produces mobile vector to be stopped to move with balance mode.With the profile candidate point of this moment according to the regulation polygon that forms the profile taking-up that is linked in sequence as object.
The intersection of step 2j-3 profile style is judged:
Whether two total different combination results are intersected in the closed curve (polygon) that the order of connection connects into profile candidate point according to the rules by 38 pairs of judgements of profile style intersection judging unit.But connect except two the situation.The judgement that intersects is such as carrying out in the following manner.If line segment vivi+1 and line segment vjvj+1 have intersection point, then there are the real number p (0≤p≤1) that satisfies following equation, q (0≤q≤1).
p(vi+1-vi)+vi=q(vj+1-vj)+vj (7)
(7) formula is about p, the simultaneous equations of q, and it has the determinant det that calculates by following formula is 0 o'clock separating, this moment, line segment vivi+1 only intersected at 1 point with line segment vjvj+1.(but when det=0, can produce the line segment vivi+1 situation consistent with line segment vivj+1, according in the determinant calculating front profile candidate point consistent intersection of judging in the case whether.)
det=(xi-xi+1)(yj+1-yj)-(xj+1-xj)(yi-yi+1) (8)
Therefore, if in det ≠ 0 o'clock, the p that calculates according to following calculation formula, q satisfies 0≤p≤1, the relation of 0≤q≤1 judges that then the polygon (skeleton pattern) that profile candidate point is connected to form according to the regulation order of connection produces intersection, carries out step step 4a, except above-mentioned situation, then carry out step 5a.
p=((yj+1-yj)(xi-xj)+(xj-xj+1)(yi-yj))/det
q=((yi+1-yi)(xi-xj)+(xi-xi+1)(yi-yj))/det (9)
The division of step 2j-4 profile style:
By skeleton pattern division unit 39 skeleton pattern is split into a plurality ofly, returns step 2a.The profile style is split in the profile candidate point punishment of the line segment that constitutes intersection point.Figure 47 is illustrated in the example of the typical cross that produces under the situation of the energy employing Earea in the profile style.Earea get on the occasion of or negative value, by following mode the profile style is split into 2 in this example, promptly, connect profile candidate point vi and vj+1 respectively, vj and vi+1 by making the indeclinable mode of its symbol.Therefore, the order of connection be v1 ..., vi, vj+1 ..., vn} with vi+1 ..., the profile candidate point group of vj} forms independently profile style respectively in the mode of new division.Intersect though produce in many places simultaneously, be split into two step repeatedly, can split into a plurality of profile styles.
The judgement of the formation/deletion of step 2j-5 profile candidate point:
Form/cancel by profile candidate point that unit 40 forms new profile candidate point or with cancellation.Such as, can form profile candidate point in the following cases or delete it.When the distance between the profile candidate point of phase satisfies | during vi+1-vi|>DTH, 2 vi produce new discrete point between the vi+1.DTH is the ultimate range between the predetermined profile candidate point.If have formed discrete point, Gflag=1 then is not if having above-mentioned discrete point, then Gflag=0.In addition, the discrete point vi of COs θ>θ TH (θ is the angle between vivi-1 and the vivi+1) relation is satisfied in deletion.θ TH is the threshold value of the cusp of judgement predetermined profile style.If the discrete point of deletion is arranged, then Dflag=1.If do not have this discrete point, then Dflag=0.By the additional profile candidate point that forms, replenish the quantity of each the object profile candidate point that reduces by division, thereby can correctly take out the profile of a plurality of objects.If in addition according to the deletion step, the profile candidate point of position beyond the profile then can avoid taking out mistakenly profile in the object that deletion terminates in.
Step 2j-6 takes out the judgement that finishes:
At whole profile candidate points ( i that is not moved; F (vi)=0) when the formation of new profile candidate point or deletion (Gflag=0 and Gflag=0) do not take place yet, finishes the taking-up of profiles by the taking-up judging unit 41 that finishes.Except that above-mentioned situation, return step 2a.
In the manner described above, implement the 12nd embodiment with the sequence of operation that step 1~step 5 and step 2j-1~step 2j-6 describe, the a plurality of actual objects that fit to place on the display, by the closed curve that only provides to comprise these actual objects, itself produces the situation of intersecting along with the distortion of this closed curve in detection, it is split into a plurality of, thereby take out these curves separately, therefore can form the composite image of actual object and hypothesis object simply.Even under the more situation of formed composite image, still can alleviate the burden that the user takes out actual object in addition.
In addition, above-mentioned steps 1j~step 4j can be according to said sequence, such as, the information among the first input step 4j is deposited into actual object in the computing machine afterwards again, can be by its combination in any be synthesized image, thus form decorative image.Self-evident in addition, also can carry out above-mentioned steps 1j~step 4j repeatedly, thereby can synthesize image according to random order.But, in decorative image or after being shown in the display by the information that pen is imported, when taking out the actual object that newly is positioned on this display, only when carrying out the input of closed curve with pen, during obtaining image by camera 1, to comprise by subregion in the viewing area of the display 28 of the closed curve of pen input be transformed to regulation color (such as, white or black).Thus, can under the situation that does not influence the hypothesis object, only take out actual object.
Have, self-evident, present embodiment is easy to realize following expansion again, and is promptly synthetic by being connected with digital camera with the snap photography photo, adds acoustic information by being connected with microphone.
