- FIG. 1 in which are illustrated the steps of a method of assisting the shooting of a new digital photograph from an initial digital photograph, by means of a lens wide angle associated with a digital shooting device, according to the present invention.
- wide-angle lens is used here to mean a lens having a short focal length to allow a wide framing of close-up objects that can not be moved away from one another, allowing a landscape to be photographed as a whole in the form of a panorama or a room inside a building.
- a wide-angle lens can be interpreted as a lens with a wider viewing angle than the natural perception of the human eye.
- a focal length of less than 35 mm will be considered as a wide-angle lens. The more this focal length decreases, and the more the lens responds to this definition of wide-angle lens.
- the method for assisting shooting includes a first step 11 of capturing an initial digital photograph P; by means of the associated wide angle lens, or even integrated, with the digital camera device.
- the method comprises a step 13 of obtaining a first intermediate image Im ; from this initial digital photo P; by means of a mathematical projection function.
- a mathematical projection function is used, which thus makes it possible to correct the deformation induced on the whole of the digital photograph P; by the use of a wide angle lens.
- Such a mathematical function of projection is a mathematical function taking as input data that can typically match the coordinates of a pixel in the captured digital photo P, and outputting data that can typically match the coordinates of a pixel in an output image where the induced distortion on the entire digital picture P is corrected.
- this mathematical projection function is an equidistant cylindrical projection function which transforms the digital photo P; in a first intermediate image Im ; rectangular shape.
- Equidistant cylindrical projection otherwise known as equirectangular projection or geographic projection, is usually used in cartography and consists of considering the polar latitude and longitude coordinates of a sphere as Cartesian coordinates on a projection plane.
- a first intermediate image of equirectangular type Im is then obtained ; from a digital photo P; of substantially spherical shape.
- a second intermediate image ⁇ 3 ⁇ 4 'can then be obtained from the first intermediate image Im ; in a second transformation step, by application, on at least a part of the first image intermediate Im i; the inverse mathematical function of the mathematical projection function used to obtain the first intermediate image Im ; .
- this second intermediate image Im; ' is obtained by means of a mathematical function inverse to that used to obtain the first intermediate image Im ; from the digital photo P i, the second intermediate image Im i ' will present a spherical shape similar to the digital photo P ;, and can therefore be used in superposition with an image displayed on the camera to facilitate the capture of the digital photo P; + i next by the user of the digital device.
- this inverse mathematical function consists of transforming the first intermediate image of equirectangular type Im ; in a second intermediate image Im; ' spherical type.
- the inverse mathematical function is applied to at least a part of the first intermediate image Im.
- at least a part is meant here as well a part of the first intermediate image Im (for example a vertical segment situated on one of the edges of this image) that the first intermediate image Im as a whole, the part used can be quite an empty part of visual information (that is, black pixels).
- this second intermediate image Im; ' is then displayed (display step 17) on the screen of the digital camera device, simultaneously with an Im image displayed by the camera, in order to be used for capturing a new digital photograph P; + i.
- these images can be displayed next to each other, or advantageously in a superimposed manner (for example the right edge of the second intermediate image Im 'being superimposed with the left edge of the Im image displayed by the camera, or vice versa) to guide the user in shooting.
- the user of the camera can then move the camera to overlay the second intermediate image Im; with the image Im in order to capture a new digital photo P; + i which is substantially aligned with the initial digital photograph P ;.
- This facilitates the capture of digital photos properly aligned with each other by means of a wide-angle lens, and thus improves their alignment upstream of the shooting, without necessarily having to resort to complex digital processing after this shooting.
- FIG. 1 furthermore describes the steps of a method for obtaining a panoramic photograph from the assembly of a series of digital photos ⁇ Pi ⁇ i ⁇ i ⁇ N, obtained by means of a lens at wide angle associated with a digital shooting device.

- each of the digital photos P; (for i ranging from 2 to N) is captured using a second intermediate digital image ⁇ 3 ⁇ 4_ ⁇ ', itself obtained using a first intermediate digital image ⁇ 3 ⁇ 4_ ⁇ , obtained itself from the previous digital photo Pu.
- Such an assembly step 23 may consist of adding the digital photos with each other, in the direction corresponding to the order of shooting, possibly removing the common part of two successive photos P; and P i + i at the junction of these two photos.
- the final assembly corresponds to the assembly of equirectangular images obtained between each shot.
- the panoramic image P is thus obtained here by assembling a plurality of N digital photos ⁇ ,. ,., ⁇ ;, ..., P N taken successively by means of a digital camera using a wide-angle lens, where N is an integer at least greater than or equal to two.
- a progressive assembly of the digital photos taken successively can also be performed at each shot (ie for example after each step 1 1 of capture), in order to obtain an intermediate panoramic picture P '; corresponding to the assembly of digital photos Pi to P ; .
- a series of intermediate panoramic photo ⁇ ,,. ,., ⁇ '; P ' N each corresponding to the assembly of the last digital picture P; captured with the previous intermediate panoramic photo P '; _i can then be displayed to the user so that he can view the progress of his shooting of the panoramic photo and eventually stop the process if he considers that digital photos are not good enough taken to enable a sufficiently good quality panoramic picture to be obtained, or if it is content with pictures Pi to P ; already taken to create a panoramic photo with a coverage angle of less than 360 °.
- a 360 ° panoramic photograph P is constructed from N photos Pi to P N taken successively according to the method described above, a second additional intermediate image Imi "is displayed together with the second intermediate image.
- This second additional intermediate image Imi is obtained by applying the inverse mathematical function of the projection mathematical function to a part of a first additional intermediate image obtained by means of a mathematical projection function applied to the first digital image Pi of the series of digital photos or any other digital photo P already made, covering the current shooting space
- the user uses both P penultimate picture taken as the first picture taken to capture the last picture, which ensures the alignment of the last picture taken with the first photo taken using the above method, and therefore the panoramic photo P 360 ° is perfectly aligned at the joint between the first and last photo.
- the method comprises an additional step of simultaneous display, in addition to the image I m displayed by the digital recording device, of the second intermediate image ⁇ 3 ⁇ 4_ ⁇ "obtained from the digital photo Pu preceding the digital photo P to be corrected in this series on one side of the screen of the digital shooting device and the second intermediate image Im i + i "obtained from the digital photograph P; + i according to the digital photo P; to be corrected in this series on the opposite side of the digital camera screen.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the steps of a method of shooting a panoramic digital photograph in three dimensions according to the present invention.

- the first panoramic digital photo P A is obtained by assembling N digital photos ⁇ ⁇ , ⁇ to P A. , N j or:
- This method comprises, on the other hand, a step 120 of obtaining a second panoramic digital photograph P B from the assembly of a second series of N digital photos ⁇ ⁇ , ⁇ to P B , N (always where N> 2), this second panoramic digital photo P B being obtained, by means of a wide-angle lens OBJ B associated with a second digital device DISP B , by implementing the steps of the method of obtaining a panoramic photo described above.
- the second panoramic digital picture P B is obtained by assembling N digital pictures P B , i to P BN , where:
- the distance d between the two devices DISP A and DISP B is predefined so that the combination of the panoramic photos can give rise to a stereoscopic effect resulting in a three-dimensional photo.
- These two steps 110 and 120 are advantageously performed simultaneously, the first photo ⁇ ⁇ , ⁇ of the first series being taken simultaneously with the first photo P B , i of the second series, and so on, in order to optimize as much as possible. 3D effect obtained between the two series of digital photos.
- the process then continues with a step 130 of associating the first panoramic digital photograph P A with the second panoramic digital photograph P B in order to obtain a digital photograph in three P3D dimensions.
- Such an association step 130 can be performed remotely, on a remote processing unit.
- the three-dimensional digital picture P3D corresponds to an anaglyph image constituted from the superposition of two homologous images IH R and IH B v respectively extracted from the two panoramic digital photos P A and
- the association step 130 then comprises a first step of extracting, from one of the two panoramic digital photos P A and P B , a first color component in order to obtain a first homologous image IH R including only this first color component of this digital photo.
- this color component may be red, in which case the first homologous image IH R consists solely of pixels belonging to this red component.
- the association step 130 further comprises a second step of extracting, from the other of the two panoramic digital photos P A and P B , a second color component different from the first color component in order to obtain a second homologous image IH BV comprising only this second color component of this other digital photo.
- this color component may correspond to the blue and green colors, in which case the second homologous image IH BV consists solely of pixels belonging to these green and blue components.
- the two homologous images IH R and IH BV are then recombined, for example by superposition, in order to obtain an anaglyph image in which the three components are present, the first component of a point being, however, shifted by the second component of this same point because of the distance between the two cameras used to capture the two panoramic digital photos P A and P B.
- This anaglyph image then corresponds to the three-dimensional P3D digital photo.
- the shift between the red component, on the one hand, and the green and blue components, on the other hand, of the same point can also be designated under the terms parallax or disparity and generates a depth effect proportional to the distance between these respective components.
- the relief is then obtained by placing a filter of one of these two complementary colors on one eye and a filter of the other color on the other eye.
- each eye only perceives the elements of the image visible through the filter of the same color (if the background of the image is black) or the complementary color (if the background of the image is white), which allows you to recreate a relief effect using the stereoscopic capabilities of the brain.
