In digital signal processing circuit 106, the signal after the A/D conversion is carried out various image processing, as profile enhancing, γ correction, white balance correction etc.Buffer storage 105 is frame memories, and it can store the data of the multiple image that obtains by image-forming component 103, and temporarily is stored in the buffer storage 105 through the signal of A/D conversion.Digital signal processing circuit 106 reads and is stored in the data in the buffer storage 105 and implements aforesaid every kind of processing, then treated data is stored in the buffer storage 105 once more.
CPU112 linking number word signal processing circuit 106 and driver 113 to 115, and when cameras work, control order.The AE calculating section 1121 of CPU112 is according to the picture signal calculation exposure time from image-forming component, and the AWB calculating section 1122 of CPU112 is by calculating the parameter of setting white balance.The feature point extraction computing unit 1123 of CPU112 extracts from view data according to predetermined algorithm and takes by characteristic points such as the shape of making body, position and sizes.The various information that extraction result that storage area 1125 storages of CPU112 are required and feature point extraction computing unit 1123 are extracted about characteristic point.The back will provide the explanation about this information.The user can increase, revises or delete characteristic point and information thereof from storage area 1125.
In this embodiment, the AF system of digital camera has used contrast method.Here provide explanation about this contrast method.Be formed on exist between image out focus degree and its contrast on the image-forming component 103 related, thereby utilize when image is the most clear picture contrast this fact of maximum that becomes to obtain focus.The size of radio-frequency component that can be by picture signal is calculated the size of contrast.That is to say, AF calculating section 1124 utilizes unshowned band pass filter (BPS) to extract the radio-frequency component of picture signal, and be the focusing calculated value carry out the value defined that integration obtains by absolute value, carry out AF according to the focusing calculated value then and calculate this radio-frequency component.CPU112 uses the result of calculation of AF calculating section 1124 to regulate the condenser lens position that image is caught lens 101, and realizes the focusing of condenser lens.
In the operating parts 116 that connects CPU112, be provided with the mains switch 1161 that opens or closes camera power supply, with release-push connect together partly press switch 1162 and press switch 1163 entirely, when obtaining image, select and set any menu in a plurality of menus that show on the display 109 button 1164 is set, and up/descending (below be called U/D) button 1165 that upgrades reproduced image etc.In order to give name of characteristic point of extracting, utilize button 1164 is set, also use U/D button 1165 to select and be provided with various characters, as letter, Chinese character (kanji) and Japanese character.In addition, also use U/D button 1165 to select a people who wants from the philtrum of a plurality of extractions, and when taking to taking the photograph distally or wide-angle side manual actuation zoom lens.
When being hanged down by making body brightness, photoflash lamp 117 is lighted.This photoflash lamp is provided with the pre-flash function, promptly to take people's pupil red or weakens so-called red eye phenomenon in order to avoid when photoflash lamp is luminous, makes earlier that before shooting an auxiliary photoflash lamp is luminous.When brightness is dark, use this pre-flash functional measurement in advance by the brightness of making body.Except aforesaid characteristic point information, the information relevant with the peak value of calculated value and information relevant with the position of corresponding condenser lens such as peak value etc. are stored in the storage area 1125, and wherein calculated value obtains from the AE result calculated.Through digital signal processing circuit 106 in various manners the processed images data in temporarily being stored in buffer storage 105 after overwriting and read signal processing circuit 110 store in the exterior storage medium 111 such as storage card.When image data storage to storage medium 111 time, usually data compression for predetermined form, as jpeg format.Record and read signal processing circuit 110 carry out data compression in case image data storage to exterior storage medium 111, also the compressing image data of regenerating from exterior storage medium 111 is carried out decompression.
Display 109 is liquid crystal indicator (LCD), and its is being taken or is showing during playback captured by making body image and various setup menu.Here this display also is used for playback and is stored in view data on the exterior storage medium 111.When display image on display 109, read and be stored in the view data among the VRAM107 and utilize D/A converter 108 that DID is converted to the simulation picture image signal, wherein VRAM107 is the part of buffer storage 105.Use this simulation picture image signal display image on display 109 then.
The relation between the buffer storage 105 and VRAM107 when extract minutiae is described below.When view data that playback on display 109 is used for showing, view data is with output continuously from image-forming component of specific cycle (as per second 30 frames), and wherein view data is reduced to the view data that is used for showing by the view data of rest image.This view data is carried out predetermined processing, and view data after treatment stores on the VRAM107 continuously, thus further sparse data make view data number of pixels and display 109 vertically/the pixels across number is corresponding.The data that are stored on the VRAM107 are presented on the display 109 as display image through D/A converter 108.This view data that is stored on the VRAM107 also is used as the data of extract minutiae.When extract minutiae, at first the view data that is stored on the VRAM107 is stored on the buffer storage 105 once more with predetermined timing.Here just around the storage of the preset range of the core that is stored in the view data on the VRAM107 (as vertically/horizontal 80%) on buffer storage 105.
Similarly, view data is stored on the buffer storage 105 once more from VRAM107, the reasons are as follows.If the disposal ability of CPU112 is very high, can come extract minutiae with the speed of per second 30 frames, but under many circumstances, the disposal ability of the CPU that uses in the typical digital camera on the market is in fact so not high.Therefore, by view data is stored into from VRAM107 on the buffer storage 105 once more, the speed of extract minutiae can be complementary with calculating with the corresponding feature point extraction of the disposal ability of CPU112.Even in this case, still guarantee to export the view data that is used in display 109 demonstrations from VRAM107, thereby the renewal rate that shows can be not slack-off with normal speed.The view data of using when in any case, AE and AF calculate is from the view data of image-forming component 103 outputs and does not go up and be reduced in order to store VRAM107 into.
Therefore, utilize this digital camera, before shooting and after taking, can check effectively by the focusing state of making body by using this feature point extraction function with this feature point extraction function.Adopt Fig. 2 this to be described to the flow process shown in Fig. 7.

In step S102, when judging screening-mode and be set at the extraction pattern, flow process advances to step S103, in this step, from the output of image-forming component 103, extracts by the characteristic point of making body and being presented at together on the LCD display 109 of utilizing that the characteristic point extracted identifies by making body and " panorama " image (or moving image of just not storing, export from image-forming component) for observation with predetermined timing.Figure 11 illustrates the example that identification shows.In Figure 11 center with the face that extracts this person around the shown square representative of coming out of the solid line of a people face.The inside of Figure 11 dotted line is that near the amplification this person face is shown that the back will provide its details.
At step S104, the characteristic point of being extracted and comprise that the presumptive area of the characteristic point of being extracted is set at the AF zone.When amplifying personage's face, further its pupil is set at the AF zone.In addition, during a plurality of characteristic point in extracting display screen, the characteristic point of area size's maximum is set at the AF zone.If perhaps the characteristic point the same with the characteristic point of being extracted stored on the storage area 1125 in advance, set the AF zone with regard to the basis information relevant (as order of priority information) with characteristic point.The back will provide the details of characteristic point information.
At step S105, judge whether screening-mode is set at the pattern of being focused by making body in the AF zone of checking.Similar with aforesaid extraction mode initialization, a kind of method that this pattern is set is to select to be used to the menu of checking that extraction is focused by making body from the setup menu (not shown) of screening-mode.Can at any time carry out this focusing inspection and aforesaid extraction pattern is set, or with its removing.When not checking focusing, flow process advances to step S107, and when checking focusing, flow process advances to step S106.
As shown in figure 11, in the step S106 that checks focusing, amplify the preset range that comprises the AF zone of setting according to the characteristic point of being extracted, and on a part of LCD display 109, show this scope on the screen on all data by this scope is stacked to.The detailed process of this step S106 will be described in the back in Fig. 4.In step S107, judge whether also will click further feature to be selected as the AF zone.Use U/D button 1165 to realize this selection.When no longer selecting other characteristic point, flow process advances to step S108, and in the time will selecting other characteristic point, flow process is returned step S104, at step S104 selected characteristic point is reset to the AF zone.May all not have so far to press switch 1162 by second.
At step S108, judge whether to supress and partly press switch 1162 and press switch 1163 entirely.When not pressing when pressing switch 1163 entirely, flow process is returned step S102, supresses when pressing switch 1163 entirely when judging, and flow process advances to the step S109 of Fig. 3.
At step S109, according to the result of calculation of AE calculating section 1121 with predetermined shutter speed and f-number on image-forming component 103 to being exposed by making body, and from the image data storage of image-forming component 103 outputs on buffer storage 105.At step S110, judge whether to be set to check focusing.Be similar to aforementioned setting, before shooting, use in advance the setting that will check focusing after the menu that will check focusing after button 1164 is selected to take is realized taking is set the extraction pattern.
At step S110, when judging when not checking focusing state, flow process advances to step S115, and when judging setting and will check focusing state, flow process advances to step S111.Be similar in step S106 inspection action, will provide the details of checking focusing state among the step S111 at Fig. 4 to focusing state.Similar with the demonstration of taking preceding inspection focusing state, amplification at this moment shows and it is presented in the square that dotted line is expressed shown in Figure 11.Amplifying the scope that shows is the preset range that comprises the AF zone, at a moment of pressing before pressing switch 1163 entirely its position and size is stored on the storage area 1125.
In addition, pressing when pressing switch 1163 back entirely and extracting characteristic point once more from shot image data, corresponding with the characteristic point of being extracted may be it have been carried out amplifying showing by making body.In this case, characteristic point is not newly to extract from captured general image screen, and only extracts from the preset range that sets before shooting, comprise the AF zone.Shorten like this and extract the required time.By after shooting, from view data, extracting as mentioned above by making body, can amplify demonstration mainly by the part of making body, even mainly moved, can realize still that also this amplification shows by making body.
At step S112, check and whether indicate storage.The example of a kind of method of storing with respect to the screen indication of checking focusing state is described below with reference to Figure 12.Figure 12 shows and explain to check the stacked situation of storage indication menu on Figure 11 of focusing state.As shown in figure 12, the amplification screen around press when pressing switch 1163 entirely, LCD display 109 demonstrates in the AF zone has been stacked under the situation of captured general image screen, the further stacked menu of selecting the storage indication on screen.Photographer uses U/D button 1165 to select Yes or the No one from this screen.When having selected Yes, flow process advances to step S115, and when both not selecting Yes also not select No, flow process advances to step S113.At step S113, check whether selected No, when having selected No, flow process advances to the step S116 that stores the view data deletion on the buffer storage 105 into.As an example of this delet method, the view data that stores on the buffer storage 105 does not store on the storage card 111, but can realize deletion on the buffer storage 105 by next shot image data can be covered.
If do not select No in step S113, flow process advances to step S114, judges after taking end whether passed through certain hour in S114.If also do not pass through certain hour, flow process is returned indications to be stored such as step S112.If passed through the regular hour, flow process advances to the step S115 that stores on storage card.Similarly, designed default setting is make to select two Yes that square frame centers on as shown in figure 12, in case and captured image data, just always image data storage in storage card 111, indicate deletion up to photographer.The certain hour here can be about one minute, perhaps can change according to photographer's wish.
After finishing stores processor, carry out that white balance, γ or compression are handled etc., in step S115, image data storage is in the predetermined file folder of storage card 111.About the file when storing, its details will adopt Fig. 5 and 6 to provide.When storage or deletion end, a series of shootings actions just are through with.
The focusing state inspection of having described below with reference to the detailed explanation of flow process of Fig. 4.In step S201, amplified that the screen of presumptive area is being stacked on the screen that has covered the complete visual angle that is stored in the view data on the buffer storage 105 on the LCD display 109 around the AF zone.Figure 11 illustrates an example of this demonstration.As shown in figure 11, in the screen center prescription frame people's face be extracted by making body.The character facial of being extracted is set at the AF zone here, and comprises that the amplification of the presumptive area in AF zone shows the square frame that is positioned at screen lower right corner dotted line.As for showing this stacked position, be not limited to such lower right corner, but can use be provided with button 1164 or U/D button 1165 select the upper right corner of screen, the lower left corner, the upper left corner or in the heart any.
Amplify demonstration and realize with electrical method, the initial enlargement ratio level setting that shows is that 4-5 times of level is as default situation.As for amplifieroperation, use button 1164 or U/D button 1165 are set.When display image data on LCD display 109, to reduce the view data of image-forming component 103 usually, but can be data not through reducing, the view data of pixel spare 103 be amplified to the resolution identical with LCD.For example, the pixel of supposing LCD display 109 is 100K, and the pixel of image-forming component 103 is 1M, and data presented has only 1/10th of resolution usually on LCD display 109 so, but can maximum be amplified to its ten times to it.
In step S202, judge whether in screen, to have selected the stacked display position of the small screen.When not selecting this position, flow process advances to step S204, when selecting this position, flow process advances to step S203, in S203 the small screen of having amplified is moved to selected position.In step S204, judge whether the indication amplification.If indication is amplified, flow process advances to step S206, and if the indication amplification just is amplified to the same big maximum amplification times yield with indicated amplification to image electronic.
In step S206, judge whether to be set to stop stacked demonstration.Thereby can by with step S105 in be provided with and check that the opposite mode of focusing state is provided with to remove and realize this termination.When being set to not stop stacked demonstration, this sequence just finishes in the state that always carries out stacked demonstration like this, when being set to stop stacked demonstration, stopping stacked demonstration and finishes this sequence at step S207.
With reference to figure 5 and 6, with provide in detail about in the step S115 of Fig. 3 when storage the select File folder the explanation of method.Up to the present, captured view data has stored in the file, and the name that this document anchor clamps have is produced according to shooting date/time automatically by digital camera, and does not consider the content of captured image.But, have during playback afterwards under the situation that much is used to the image of regenerating, if these images have just carried out classification by date and have preserved by this way, so after search want image the time just pretty troublesome.Particularly when taking the view data of portraits near at one time, will be difficult to find out the people's who wants view data as a lot.In order to address this problem, utilize present embodiment, each captured view data be designed to make its store into automatically with captured view data in mainly by in the making body corresponding file folder.
Shown in the flow chart of Fig. 5, for each mainly by making body, image data storage in each corresponding file folder.In the step S301 of Fig. 5, at first read the file name in the storage card 111 that inserts in the digital camera.At step S302, judge that whether file is arranged on the storage card 111 is corresponding with selected characteristic point.When corresponding file having been arranged on the storage card 111, flow process advances to step S304, and when not having corresponding file, flow process advances to step S303.In step S303, the new establishment and selected characteristic point corresponding file folder on storage card 111, flow process advances to step S304 then.At step S304, each image data storage to corresponding file and finish this step.
Even when from view data, extracting a plurality of characteristic point, also only consider selected characteristic point as described here, when not with selected characteristic point corresponding file folder, can newly create a file.
The flow chart description of Fig. 6 another embodiment, wherein from view data, extract a plurality of characteristic points.Here describe according to the order of priority of giving characteristic point the method for image data storage to the predetermined file folder.In this case, at first the user of digital camera stored in advance with by making body characteristic of correspondence dot information.How Fig. 8 shows characteristic point with characteristic point characteristic of correspondence dot information and stores a example on the storage area 1125 into.
In Fig. 8, with the order of priority record difference called after of prior setting such as these characteristic points of TARO, HANAKO, JIRO and SABURO.For the characteristic point information of TARO, have the order of priority that is used for selecting foregoing AF zone, being set is first order of priority.Utilize this set, for example when extracting TARO and JIRO simultaneously in the picture screen of taking, the zone that comprises TARO is set at the AF zone that has priority than the zone that comprises JIRO.Also can use button 1164 and U/D button 1165 setting of this order of priority of realization in advance are set.Whenever can both change this order of priority.For example SABURO begins not carry out any setting.
Secondly, for the characteristic point information of TARO, it is registration TARO characteristic point dat recorder record date.Here using the record date of (1) expression is that day of first registration TARO, in (2) and (3) the represented date then registered in addition condition with (1) different as partially, the further feature point that has of the TARO of shooting when turning one's head, wearing glasses etc.Similarly, do not have glasses or beard/beard to a plurality of registrations, improve accuracy of identification the people at the characteristic point of being extracted as same individual's characteristic point by having according to a people.About these characteristic points, on LCD display 109, show their register content, and can freely they be added or delete.Except order of priority with record date, the processing that also can store brief note, when detecting characteristic point, in storage or playback, work (white balance, profile being strengthened the setting of proofreading and correct etc.) and from the interval of characteristic point etc.
When setting the real data of characteristic point the characteristic point real data that must register is registered in the characteristic point data zone one by one (1) as TARO (1), HANAKO.Here real data is that normalization such as the relative position relation between eye widths, eyes and the nose, shape of face in the characteristic point of being extracted are pre-sizing.
Can be stored in the actual image that has been dwindled by the making body size that extracts in the storage area 1125 and do not store aforesaid characteristic point information and characteristic point data.Utilize this storage, when on LCD display 109, observing, can increase or delete by making body with by the relevant information of making body.
In the step S401 of Fig. 6, according to the information that is stored in characteristic point information inspection in the storage area 1125 order of priority corresponding with the characteristic point of being extracted.At step S402, read in the file of creating on the storage card 111.At step S403, judge first priority according to the order of priority that in step S401, judges.If there is corresponding file, flow process advances to step S407.If there is no corresponding file, flow process advances to step S404, judges whether to exist the characteristic point corresponding file with second priority to press from both sides at step S404.If there is such file, flow process advances to step S407, if there is no such file, and flow process advances to step S405.
In step S405, judge whether to be through with to whether there being the judgement of the characteristic point corresponding file folder that extracts with all.When judgement did not also finish, flow process was returned step S404, and when judging end, flow process advances to step S406.At this moment on storage card 111, do not press from both sides with all characteristic point corresponding file that extract, so in step S406, create a file according to the characteristic point that extracts, this document folder is corresponding with a characteristic point that equals first order of priority substantially, and flow process advances to step S407.At step S407, in the characteristic point corresponding file folder that view data writes and extracted, finish storing step then.
In the description of Fig. 6, when not pressing from both sides, just seek and next order of priority corresponding file folder, but as shown in Figure 5, also can create one and first order of priority corresponding file folder at once with the first order of priority corresponding file.In addition, when manual setting AF zone, owing to as being chosen in the AF zone by making body be not the characteristic point that always has first order of priority by making body, so with may be characteristic point by a corresponding characteristic point of making body in the AF zone with first order of priority.
When extracting a plurality of characteristic point, can be stored in same view data respectively on the characteristic point corresponding file folder that extracts with all.In this case, when not pressing from both sides with storage card 111 corresponding file, certainly can a newly-built file.But, if view data is a group photo, along with the number of file rolls up, the maximum number of preferred predetermined file folder.
On the other hand, for the storage medium of picture storage card 111 this finite capacities, preferably same view data is not stored into this method in the respective file folder respectively.The storage means of avoiding this storage mode is described below.At first image data storage in an independent specific file, also store simultaneously the relevant information of name with other file of wanting to store this view data.The information stores that also name of this independent specific file of handle and storing image data is relevant is in other file in addition.The name of a storage folder just can prevent from unnecessarily to reduce memory capacity by this way.When by this way image data storage to storage card 111 time, if view data moves to another when having on the very jumbo memory from storage card 111, be stored in the information relevant on each file and may just become useless with name file.For fear of this situation, when view data being moved to another from storage card 111 when having on the very jumbo memory, can be according to the information relevant that stored to the same view data of each file storage with name file.
Fig. 9 shows name that writes storage card 111 and the filename of storing view data thereon with tree structure.In Fig. 9, even name is the file of 01NIKON be storage those be not arranged on view data captured under the extraction pattern or under the extraction pattern shot image data but do not have the file of the view data of extract minutiae.In this document folder, also stored in addition those just therefrom the view data of extract minutiae and captured those do not have name, independent one by the view data of making body.Certainly, the folder of also can separately creating a file only store those do not have name by the view data of making body, and with its image data storage in this document folder.At this moment will give the name that can be different from other file and image data file to it, be 04NANASHI as the file name, the file of view data DSC04001 by name or the like.
The view data that file 02TARO or 03HANAKO take people TARO or HANAKO with the storage of first order of priority respectively among Fig. 9.
Figure 10 shows the file structure of the view data with name DSC02002.Image data file by storage from the view data zone of the actual image data of image-forming component output and the characteristic point information zone of the relevant information of the storage characteristic point of coming out from image data extraction constitute.Storage is about the information in the characteristic point size of the coordinate of order of priority, extracting position, the TARO that extracts from view data and HANAKO and the AF zone when taking this view data etc. in the characteristic point information zone.For the information relevant, wherein stored the rectangle that comprises the characteristic point that extracts coordinate in the upper left corner and the lower right corner with characteristic point size.For the information relevant with AF zone, wherein stored coordinate in the upper left corner and the lower right corner, in this Figure 10, wherein also stored and the position coordinates of the TARO with first order of priority and the same information of relevant information of size.
In Figure 10, stored together and the relevant information of all characteristic points that extracts and the AF that extracts zone with view data.By checking the information relevant of this storage, facilitate some specific personages' that search is being taken each view data on being stored in a plurality of files view data with characteristic point.Can certainly only store the information of characteristic point with view data together with first order of priority (in this example, being TARO).Similarly, can only store the information relevant together with view data with the AF zone.Certainly can also store the information of characteristic point and the information in AF zone together with view data with first order of priority.
Up to the present, the situation of the storage card 111 of only packing in digital camera has been described.But various types of storage cards 111 are arranged on market recently, and they not only have different memory capacity, and have different external shape and driving method.Therefore, being necessary provides a plurality of insertion grooves that are used for storage card 111 to digital camera, makes it possible to use the storage card 111 of number of different types.If digital camera is provided with a plurality of insertion grooves, can change storage card 111 according to the classification of above-mentioned view data.When on each storage card 111, storing, create file according to its classification certainly.
The focusing state of checking reproduced picture is described with Fig. 7.In step S501, judge whether the pattern of digital camera is set at playback mode.When setting playback mode, with carry out other and set same mode and use button 1164 is set.When judging when having set playback mode,, from storage card 111, read the view data of storage at step S502.At step S503, judge whether the camera pattern is set at the setting of checking focusing state.When mode initialization was being provided with of inspection focusing state, flow process advanced to step S504.Focusing state inspection action at step S504 is the same with the step S106 of Fig. 2.But when playback, just needn't bother from view data extract minutiae, judgement store together with view data described in Figure 10 and have the relevant information of the characteristic point of first order of priority or and the AF zone information of being correlated with, and can the stacked at once the small screen that is used to check focusing state.In addition, can also utilize electronics to amplify realizes amplifying.
After the inspection that finishes focusing state, flow process advances to step S505, judges in S505 whether playback mode is through with.When judging the playback mode end, this sequence just is through with, and is also carrying out if judge playback mode, and flow process is returned step S502 so, proceeds the image reproducing corresponding with photographer's instruction in step S502.
