Abstract

Afin de présenter optiquement des montures de lunettes, l'image des montures disponibles de lunettes est enregistrée dans une mémoire (6) d'images. L'image du visage du client est prise par une caméra vidéo (1), enregistrée dans une mémoire d'images (2) et reproduite comme image immobile sur un écran (5). Les images du visage et de chaque monture de lunettes sont superposées sur l'écran (5) par un agencement de superposition (4), de sorte que le client voit son visage avec chaque monture de lunettes appelée dans la mémoire (6).In order to optically present spectacle frames, the image of the available spectacle frames is recorded in an image memory (6). The image of the customer's face is taken by a video camera (1), recorded in an image memory (2) and reproduced as a still image on a screen (5). The images of the face and of each spectacle frame are superimposed on the screen (5) by an overlay arrangement (4), so that the client sees his face with each spectacle frame called in the memory (6).

Description

Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur optischen Präsentation von BrillenfassungenMethod and device for the optical presentation of spectacle frames
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur optischen Präsen- tation von Brillenfassungen sowie eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens.The invention relates to a method for the optical presentation of spectacle frames and a device for carrying out the method.
Zur Auswahl einer geeigneten Brillenfassung werden dem Kunden in Augenoptikgeschäften üblicherweise die verfügbaren Modelle der Brillenfassungen .vorgelegt. Der Kunde trifft eine Vor¬ auswahl nach dem ästhetischen Eindruck der jeweiligen Brillen¬ fassung, wobei er die in die engere Wahl gezogenen Brillen¬ fassungen vor einem Spiegel aufsetzt. Der hierfür erforder¬ liche Zeitaufwand ist verhältnismäßig groß; währen des ge- samten Auswahlvorgangs muß die den Kunden beratende Fachkraft für den Kunden zur Verfügung stehen, um ihm die einzelnen Brillenfassungen vorzulegen.In order to select a suitable spectacle frame, the available models of the spectacle frames are usually presented to the customer in ophthalmic shops. The customer makes a preselection based on the aesthetic impression of the respective eyeglass frame, the short glasses eyeglasses being put in front of a mirror. The time required for this is relatively large; During the entire selection process, the specialist advising the customer must be available for the customer to present the individual spectacle frames to him.
Um die Brillenfassungen auszuprobieren, müssen auch stark fehlsichtige Kunden ihre bisherige eigene Brille absetzen, so daß sie ihr Spiegelbild mit der neuen Brillenfassung oft¬ mals nur undeutlich sehen können. Um diese Schwierigkeit zu überwinden, sind einzelne Augenoptikgeschäfte schon dazu übergegangen, das Gesicht des Kunden mit den verschiedenen auszuprobierenden Brillenfassungen mittels einer Videokamera aufzunehmen. Der Kunde kann sich dann die Aufnahmen ansehen, wobei er zur Korrektur der Fehlsichtigkeit seine bisherige Brille trägt. Dieser Vorgang ist besonders zeitaufwendig. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, ein Verfahren zur optischen Präsentation von Brillenfassungen zu schaffen, das es dem Kunden ermöglicht, auch ohne die ständige An¬ wesenheit einer Beratungsperson die zur Verfügung stehenden Brillenfassungsmodelle in ihrer ästhetischen Wirkung an seinem Gesicht zu prüfen, um auf diese Weise eine weitest- gehende Vorauswahl zu treffen.In order to try out the eyeglass frames, even highly defective customers have to take off their own eyeglasses, so that they can often only see their reflection with the new eyeglass frame indistinctly. In order to overcome this difficulty, individual optics shops have already begun to record the customer's face with the various spectacle frames to be tested using a video camera. The customer can then view the recordings, wearing his previous glasses to correct the ametropia. This process is particularly time consuming. The object of the invention is therefore to create a method for the optical presentation of eyeglass frames, which enables the customer to check the aesthetic effect of the available eyeglass frame models on his face, even without the constant presence of a consultant, in order to check on them Way to make a pre-selection as far as possible.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch ein Ver- fahren mit den Verfahrensschritten: a) die Bilder der Brillenfassungen werden in einem Bild¬ speicher gespeichert; b) vom Gesicht eines Kunden wird ein Standbild auf einem Bildschirm erzeugt; c) die Bilder der Brillenfassungen werden einzeln aus demThis object is achieved according to the invention by a method with the method steps: a) the images of the spectacle frames are stored in an image memory; b) a still image is created on the screen of a customer's face; c) the images of the glasses frames are taken individually from the
Bildspeicher abgerufen und auf den Bildschirm dem Stand bild des Gesichtes überlagert.Retrieved image memory and superimposed on the screen the still image of the face.
Der Kunde kann somit in rascher Folge und ohne Handhabung von Brillenfassungen die ästhetische Wirkung der einzelnen Fassungen in seinem Gesicht beobachten, wobei er - wenn er bereits Brillenträger ist - seine bisherige Brille trägt. Da der Kunde nur die Bilder der Brillenfassungen aus dem Bildspeicher abruft, kann der Wechsel zwischen den einzelne Brillenfassungen in raschem Ablauf erfolgen, so daß demThe customer can thus observe the aesthetic effect of the individual frames on his face in rapid succession and without handling spectacle frames, whereby - if he is already a spectacle wearer - he is wearing his previous glasses. Since the customer only retrieves the images of the eyeglass frames from the image memory, the change between the individual eyeglass frames can be carried out quickly so that the
Kunden in sehr einfacher Weise eine große Anzahl von Brille fassungen präsentiert werden kann, die er zudem unmittelbar in der ästhetischen Wirkung in seinem Gesicht beurteilen kaCustomers can be presented with a large number of spectacle frames in a very simple manner, which they can also judge directly in terms of the aesthetic effect on their face
Vorzugsweise erfolgen die Aufnahme vom Gesicht des Kunden, die Bildspeicherung der Bilder der Brillenfassungen und die Überlagerung auf einem Bildschirm elektronisch. Um eine ge¬ naue maßstäbliche Anpassung zwischen dem Bild des Gesichts und den Bildern der einzelnen Brillenfassungen zu ermöglich wird zweckmäßigerweise der Wiedergabemaßstab des Standbilde des Gesichts verändert.The picture of the customer's face, the image storage of the images of the spectacle frames and the superimposition on a screen are preferably carried out electronically. In order to enable a precise scale adjustment between the image of the face and the images of the individual spectacle frames the display scale of the still image of the face is expediently changed.
In Weiterbildung des Erfindungsgedankens ist vorgesehen, da beim Abruf der Bilder der Brillenfassungen eine Auswahl nac zu jeder Brillenfassung gespeicherten Daten erfolgt. Auf di se Weise ist es möglich, in mehrfacher Hinsicht eine Voraus wahl zu treffen, damit dem Kunden nur diejenigen Brillen¬ fassungen präsentiert werden, die hinsichtlich der grund- sätzlichen Gestaltungsmerkmale und/oder der Farbe zu seinem Gesicht und seiner Haarfarbe passen. Dabei können auch Date über technische Eigenschaften der Brillenfassungen berück¬ sichtigt werden. Auf diese Weise wird die Anzahl der aus de Bildspeicher für den betreffenden Kunden abzurufenden Bilde auf diejenigen Modelle beschränkt, die für den einzelnenIn a further development of the inventive concept, it is provided that when the images of the spectacle frames are called up, a selection is made for data stored for each spectacle frame. In this way, it is possible to make a preselection in several respects, so that the customer is presented with only those frames that match the basic design features and / or the color of his face and hair color. In this case, dates relating to the technical properties of the spectacle frames can also be taken into account. In this way, the number of images to be retrieved from the image memory for the customer concerned is limited to those models that are suitable for the individual
Kunden aus technischen und/oder ästhetischen Gründen über¬ haupt in Frage kommen, alle übrigen im Bildspeicher ent¬ haltenen Brillenfassungen bleiben unberücksichtigt.Customers are in question for technical and / or aesthetic reasons, all other spectacle frames contained in the image memory are not taken into account.
Vorzugsweise kann der Kunde die Kenndaten von ausgewählten Brillenfassungen speichern und/oder ausdrucken lassen, um diejenigen Brillenfassungen festzustellen, die er in eine engere Auswahl gezogen hat bzw. die er nach einer weiteren Vorauswahl als Brillenfassung tatsächlich vorgelegt bekom- men möchte.The customer can preferably save and / or have the characteristic data of selected spectacle frames stored and / or printed out in order to determine those spectacle frames which he has shortlisted or which he would actually like to have presented as a spectacle frame after a further preselection.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens sowie eine Vorrichtung zur vorteilhaften Durch¬ führung des Verfahrens sind Gegenstand weiterer UnteransprüFurther advantageous refinements of the method according to the invention and a device for advantageously carrying out the method are the subject of further subclaims
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand eines Ausführungsbei¬ spiels näher erläutert. In der Zeichnung ist in stark vereinfachter Darstellungs¬ weise ein Blockschaltbild einer elektronisch arbeitenden Vorrichtung gezeigt, die eine optische Präsentation von Brillenfassungen gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung ermöglichThe invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment. In the drawing, a block diagram of an electronically operating device is shown in a greatly simplified representation, which enables an optical presentation of spectacle frames according to the present invention
Mittels einer Videokamera 1 wird zunächst ein Standbild vom Gesicht des Kunden hergestellt und in einem Bildspeicher 2 elektronisch gespeichert. Das Standbild wird über eine Steuereinheit 3 zur Verstellung des Wiedergabemaßstabs und über eine später noch näher erläuterte Überlagerungsein richtung 4 einem Bildschirm 5 zugeführt und dort abgebildet.Using a video camera 1, a still image of the customer's face is first produced and electronically stored in an image memory 2. The still image is fed via a control unit 3 for adjusting the reproduction scale and via a superimposition device 4, which will be explained in more detail later, to a screen 5 and shown there.
In einem Bildspeicher 6 sind die Bilder aller verfügbaren Brillenfassungen elektronisch gespeichert und können von dort mittels einer Eingabetastatur 7 und einer Steuerein¬ heit 8 ebenfalls über die Überlagerungseinrichtung 4 dem Bildschirm 5 zugeführt werden. In der Überlagerungseinrich¬ tung 4 erfolgt eine elektronische Überlagerung des aus dem Bildspeicher 2 gelieferten Standbildes des Gesichts und des jeweils aus dem Bildspeicher 6 abgerufenen Bildes einer einzelnen Brillenfassung in der Weise, daß die Brillen¬ fassung im Gesicht des Kunden auf dem Bildschirm 5 abge¬ bildet wird.The images of all available spectacle frames are stored electronically in an image memory 6 and from there can also be fed to the screen 5 via the overlay device 4 by means of an input keyboard 7 and a control unit 8. In the superimposition device 4 there is an electronic superimposition of the still image of the face delivered from the image memory 2 and the image of an individual spectacle frame retrieved from the image memory 6 in such a way that the spectacle frame on the customer's face is displayed on the screen 5 is forming.
Zur Maßstabanpassung wird mittels einer Bedienungstastatur die Steuereinheit 3 so beeinflußt, daß der Wiedergabemaßsta des Standbildes des Gesichts an den Abbildungsmaßstab aller im Bildspeicher 6 gespeicherten Bilder der Brillenfassungen angepaßt wird.For adjusting the scale, the control unit 3 is influenced by means of an operating keyboard in such a way that the reproduction measure of the still picture of the face is adapted to the picture scale of all pictures of the spectacle frames stored in the picture memory 6.
Über die Tastatur 7 kann der Kunde nacheinander die Bilder aller gewünschten Brillenfassungen aus dem Bildspeicher 6 abrufen. Da zu den einzelnen Brillenfassungen im Bild¬ speicher 6 auch Daten über ästhetische und technische Kenngrößen der Brillenfassungen gespeichert sind, kann durch eine weitere Eingabetastatur 10 die Steuereinheit 8 so beeinflußt werden, daß eine gewisse Vorauswahl in der Weise getroffen wird, daß die Bilder von Brillenfassungen, die aus ästhetischen oder technischen Gründen für den ein¬ zelnen Kunden nicht in Frage kommen, von ihm aus dem Bild¬ speicher 6 nicht abgerufen werden können.The customer can use the keyboard 7 to call up the images of all the desired spectacle frames in succession from the image memory 6. Since the individual spectacle frames in the image memory 6 also contain data on aesthetic and technical Characteristics of the spectacle frames are stored, the control unit 8 can be influenced by a further input keyboard 10 in such a way that a certain pre-selection is made in such a way that the images of spectacle frames that are out of the question of the individual customer for aesthetic or technical reasons come, can not be retrieved by him from the image memory 6.
Durch entsprechende Befehlseingabe an der Tastatur 7 kann der Kunde über die Steuereinheit 8 von einzelnen, in die engere Wahl gezogenen Brillenfassungen die Kenndaten durch einen Drucker 11 ausdrucken lassen oder von dem Bild der jeweiligen Brillenfassung zusammen mit dem Standbild seines Gesichts in einem Bildaufzeichnungsgerät 12 eine Abbildung herstellen.By entering the appropriate commands on the keyboard 7, the customer can have the control unit 8 print out the characteristic data of individual, short-listed spectacle frames by a printer 11 or an image of the respective spectacle frame together with the still image of his face in an image recording device 12 produce.
Bei einer ersten Vorauswahl aus allen aus dem Bildspeicher 6 abgerufenen Bildern von Brillenfassungen kann der Kunde mit tels der ihm zur Verfügung stehenden Eingabetastatur 7 über die Steuereinheit 8 die Bilder der in die engere Wahl ge¬ zogenen Brillenfassungen in einem Zwischenspeicher 13 spei¬ chern. Bei einem sich anschließenden engeren Auswahlvorgang werden dann nur noch die im Zwischenspeicher 13 gespeicher¬ ten Bilder abgerufen, wobei bei einer anschließenden noch engeren Auswahl die nicht mehr benötigten Bilder im Zwische speicher 13 gelöscht werden, so daß dort schließlich nur noch die in die engste Wahl gezogenen Bilder zur raschen Abfrage zur Verfügung stehen.In the case of a first preselection from all the images of spectacle frames retrieved from the image memory 6, the customer can store the images of the spectacle frames that have been shortlisted in a buffer 13 via the control unit 8 using the input keyboard 7 available to him. In the case of a subsequent narrow selection process, only the images stored in the intermediate storage 13 are then called up, and in the event of a subsequent even closer selection the images that are no longer required are deleted in the intermediate storage 13, so that ultimately only those in the narrowest selection are left there dragged images are available for quick query.
Erst wenn der Kunde in der beschriebenen Weise eine engeOnly when the customer has a close relationship as described
Vorauswahl getroffen hat, erfolgt die abschließende Über¬ prüfung, Beratung und Anpassung durch die augenoptische Fachkraft. Alle Maßnahmen der Vorauswahl können vom Kunden selbst ungestört durchgeführt werden. Anstelle der beschriebenen elektronischen Bildspeicherung können auch andere Verfahren zur Bildspeicherung und Bild¬ wiedergabe verwendet werden, beispielsweise durch Diaposi¬ tive, wobei der Bildschirm 5 eine Leinwand oder eine Matt¬ scheibe ist, auf der die Bilder des Gesichts und der Bril¬ lenfassungen optisch überlagert werden.Pre-selection has been made, the final check, advice and adjustment is carried out by the optician. All of the pre-selection measures can be carried out by the customer himself. Instead of the electronic image storage described, other methods for image storage and image reproduction can also be used, for example by means of slides, the screen 5 being a canvas or a matt screen on which the images of the face and the spectacle frames are optically superimposed become.
Die Bildwiedergabe erfolgt farbig, bei holografischer Dar¬ stellung erfolgt die Bildwiedergabe räumlich. The image is reproduced in color, in the case of holographic representation the image is reproduced spatially.
