Definitions

  • the present invention pertains to a digital image processing device and method, and more particularly to a digital image device and method that aligns and/or combines partial film scan images prior to completion of digital film processing.
  • Numerous scanning devices are known for capturing digital images of objects. For example, there are numerous flat-bed and sheet-fed scanners currently available on the market for converting photographs, pages of text, and transparencies to digital images. There are also conventional film scanners available which scan photographic film to produce digital images. Most of the current film scanners use one set of three linear charged coupled devices (CCD) to scan photographic film. Each of the three CCD's scans in one region of the visible spectrum: typically red, green and blue channels. In such conventional scanners, image data is captured in each color channel
  • the three CCD's pass over the film once, thus providing three separate color channel scans at substantially the same time.
  • a problem with scanning photographic film prior to its being fully developed is that the locations of the images on the film are generally unknown. For example, the locations of images early in the development process may not be known at all, while the locations of images may be known with low precision at an intermediate stage. It may only be late in the development process that the locations of the images become known with high precision. Consequently, if one were to process a scan area roughly the size of an image on the exposed photographic film, for example, it will usually contain fragments of two different images. In other words, the scan area will straddle two images such that it contains a partial image fragment of two different images. This results in the image fragments from two separate scan areas having to be aligned and combined together to produce a final joined output image.
  • an area of an image medium is scanned to produce a raster image of the scanned area.
  • the image medium is photographic film.
  • a second area of the photographic film is scanned to produce a second raster image of the second scanned area.
  • the second scanned area is displaced along the longitudinal direction of the photographic film with respect to the first scanned area such that the scanned areas are abutting or partially overlapping.
  • the length of each of the first and second scanned areas is selected to be approximately equal to or greater than a longitudinal length of an image recorded in the photographic film.
  • the photographic film has regularly spaced perforation holes, such as sprocket holes. Regularly spaced indentations or notches, or other similar indicia are also suitable.
  • the width of each of the first and second scanned areas is preferably of a width such that it contains at least a fraction of the sprocket holes, or other indicia, along at least one of the edges of the photographic film. More preferably, the width of each of the first and second scanned areas is approximately the width required to extend entirely across the photographic image out to at least the half-way point of the sprocket holes along each side of the photographic film.
  • the sprocket holes, notches, dents, or other indicia provide reference markers which are fixed relative to the photographic film.
  • the first raster image of the first scanned area is filtered with a high-pass spatial filter to produce an edge image corresponding to the first raster image.
  • the reference markers which are portions of the sprocket holes in the preferred embodiment, appear as an outline of the reference marker.
  • the sprocket holes are used to establish reference points in order to align and combine complementary portions of an image in the first and second scanned images.
  • at least one corner, and more preferably, both corners, of a sprocket hole half on each opposing edge of the photographic film determine reference points.
  • the most preferred embodiment determines four reference points in each of the two scanned images; thus, eight reference points in total. The following description refers to the reference points in the preferred embodiment as fiducial points.
  • Each fiducial point is determined by the intersection of a vertical edge line and a horizontal edge line corresponding to its respective sprocket hole portion.
  • the vertical edge line is taken to be parallel to pixel columns in the edge image.
  • the column address of the vertical edge line for each of the fiducial points is preferably determined by an averaging process which is preferably a weighted average in which each column address is multiplied by the number of sprocket hole edge pixels in that column, all products for an edge of the sprocket hole are summed, and the sum is divided by a normalization factor.
  • a similar procedure is followed to determine the horizontal edge line for each of the fiducial points, except the horizontal edge line is taken to be parallel to the pixel rows and it is preferably assigned a weighted average row number.
  • fiducial point in each of the scanned areas is sufficient to make translational corrections.
  • a minimum of two fiducial points in each scanned image is required to make rotational corrections in addition to the translational corrections.
  • the most preferred embodiment uses four fiducial points in each of the scanned images.
  • the fiducial points are preferably established for two sprocket holes in each scanned area which are proximate to the joining regions of the image fragments and which correspond to the same sprocket hole, but as viewed in the first and second images.
  • fiducial points are determined for one sprocket hole along each transverse side of the photographic film along the joining region of the image fragments for each of the first and second scanned areas.
  • the two fiducial points proximate to each sprocket hole are averaged to provide one average fiducial point intermediate between its respective fiducial points.
  • a translational correction at least one of the fiducial points in the first scanned image is required to coincide with a corresponding one fiducial point in the second scanned image. This provides a translational correction rule.
  • the translational correction rule is then applied to all pixels, preferably within one image, such that there is a uniform translational correction of all the pixels of the first raster image relative to the second raster image.
  • the translational correction rule is determined with respect to one of the above-mentioned average fiducial points to its corresponding average fiducial point.
  • the rotational correction can similarly be applied to fiducial points or average fiducial points.
  • the rotational correction is performed after the translational correction based on one average fiducial point. Consequently, after the translational correction, the coinciding average fiducial point establishes a first line in the first scanned image passing through the average fiducial point on the opposing side of the photographic film. Similarly, the coinciding average fiducial point establishes a second line in the second scanned image passing through the average fiducial point on the opposing side of the photographic film. In general, there will be a non-zero angle between the first and second lines.
  • a rotational translation rule is determined by rotating the first line to coincide with the second line.
  • the fiducial point in the second scanned image which is not in coincidence with the average fiducial point in the first scanned image is rotated to bring them into substantial coincidence.
  • the pivot point of the rotation is the two substantially coinciding fiducial points which were aligned in the translational correction.
  • the combined image is cropped to remove the edge region that includes images of the sprocket holes, and to separate it from adjoining images.
  • FIGURE 1 is a schematic illustration of a digital image combining device according to the preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is a schematic illustration showing a more detailed view of the digital image combining device according to the preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGURE 3 is an illustration of an edge image of photographic film with the locations of images on the film shown schematically as large solid rectangles and the scan area shown schematically as a dashed rectangular box;
  • FIGURE 4 is an illustration of a portion of one of the sprocket holes illustrated in FIGURE 3 along with examples of fiducial points;
  • FIGURE 5 is an illustration of a portion of one of the sprocket holes illustrated in FIGURE 3 along with examples of fiducial points;
  • FIGURE 6 is an edge image of a portion of photographic film, like FIGURE 3, except the scan area is displaced relative to the scan area illustrated in FIGURE 3;
  • FIGURE 7 is similar to FIGURE 4, but shows a portion of a sprocket hole illustrated in FIGURE 6 along with corresponding fiducial points;

  • FIGURE 12 is a flow-chart illustrating the method of combining portions of a digital image according to the preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • the digital image combining device is designated generally by the reference numeral 20 in FIGURE 1.
  • the digital image combining device 20 generally has an image scanning device 22, a data processor 24, an output display device 26, and an input device 28.
  • a digital image combining device 20 may include one or more generally available peripheral devices 30.

  • the data processor 24 is a personal computer or a work station
  • the output device 26 is a video monitor
  • the input device 28 is a keyboard.
  • the image scanner 22 is an electronic film developer in the preferred embodiment, the image scanner is not limited to being only an electronic film developer. Other scanning devices, including devices which scan media other than photographic film, are encompassed within the scope and spirit of the invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is a schematic illustration of several elements of the data processor 24.
  • FIGURE 2 also illustrates, schematically, some components interior to the electronic film developer 22.
  • the electronic film developer 22 is in communication with the data processor 24.
  • the scanning device 22 has at least two scanning stations 32 and 34.
  • the example of the digital image scanner 22 illustrated in FIGURE 2 is a schematic illustration of a digital film scanner that has two scanning stations, it is anticipated that other digital film scanners will have three or more scarining stations.
  • the digital film scanner 22 may have a single scanning station.
  • exposed photographic film 32 is directed to move through the scanning stations in the longitudinal direction 38.
  • the photographic film 36 has reference markers 40 at one transverse edge of the photographic film 36.
  • the reference markers 30 are sprocket holes, such as sprocket hole 42, in the photographic film 36.
  • the photographic film 36 has additional reference markers 44 in the transverse direction 46 opposing the reference markers 40.
  • a portion of the photographic film 48 is scanned over a time interval at scanning station 32.
  • a portion of the photographic film 49 is scanned at scanning station 34 over a period of time.
  • the photographic film 36 is typically subjected to film development treatment prior to the scanning station 32 and another film development treatment between scanning stations 32 and 34. Consequently, the film will be at one stage of development at scanmng station 32, and at another stage of film development at scanning station 34. It is anticipated that many digital film scanners also have at least a third scanning station. Consequently, the film 36 is at a different stage of development at scanning station 32 compared to that of scanning station 34. Furthermore, the stage of film development at scanning stations 32 and 34 will be different than at subsequent scanning stations for digital film scanners that have more than two scanning stations.
  • Scanned image data is transferred from each scanning station 32 and 34 to the data processor 24.
  • the data processor 24 has a digital image data processor 50 that is in communication with the scanmng stations 32 and 34.
  • the digital image data processor 50 is also in communication with a data storage unit 52 that stores processed image data, preferably in a conventional raster image format.
  • the data storage unit 52 is in communication with a high-pass spatial filter 54 such that it receives stored raster image data from the storage unit 52.

  • the invention includes other embodiments in which the components are implemented as dedicated hardware components.
  • the digital image data processor 50 is a conventional digital image data processor that processes scanned data from scanning stations 32 and 34 and outputs a digital raster image in a conventional format to be stored in data storage unit
  • the data storage unit 52 may be either a conventional hard drive or semiconductor memory, such as random access memory (RAM), or a combination of both. It is anticipated that other data storage devices may be used without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
  • the high-pass spatial filter uses a conventional spatial mask such as that described in R.C.
  • a three-pixel-by-three-pixel mask is usually sufficient, although one may select larger masks.
  • the center mask element is given a weight with a value of 8 and each neighbor pixel is given a weight of - 1.
  • the mask is then applied to each pixel of the raster image. If the subject pixel is in a fairly uniform region of the image, the sum of all the neighboring pixel values multiplied by the mask value will cancel with the central value, thus leading to essentially a zero output value. However, in the region of an edge of the image, the output will be non- zero. Consequently, such a filter will provide an output image which represents the edges of the original image. These are thus referred to as edge images.
