Description
2335105 1 - COMPOSITE IMAGE METHOD AND APPARATUS
The present invention relates in general to the field of composite images, and in particular to a photobooth apparatus.
A photobooth apparatus is typically provided in a public location such as an airport or railway station enabling a user to produce passport sized photographs of themselves, following operation of a payment mechanism receiving coins, notes or other payment. A typical photobooth machine comprises a camera arranged to be directed in use toward a user before a physical background such as a curtain across a rear wall of the booth. Any suitable camera may be used but most recently digital imaging cameras are preferred producing an electronic data representation of the subject image. Typically, a physical output of the image is provided to the user, for example by being printed or by known photographic processing techniques, to provide the user with a resultant output image.
In addition to producing passport type photographs of the subject, it is desired to improve the attractiveness and useability of the photobooth machine by offering additional photograph features. In particular, it is desired to produce a composite image of the subject and a character image representing, for example, a popular personality such as a footballer or pop singer.
According to the present invention there is provided a composite image apparatus for. use in a photobooth, comprising: camera means for forming a subject image of a subject with a physical background; image processing means for forming a composite image by laying a foreground image section over said subject image; and image output means for producing a visual output of the composite image.
The composite image apparatus is preferably formed within a photobooth. The camera means is preferably arranged to be directed toward a user of the photobooth as a subject before a predetermined physical background. Suitably, the photobooth is provided with a subject area allowing the user to position themselves, for example on a seat, in a predetermined position within a controlled lighting environment using screens such as curtains to the side and optionally behind the subject.
The image processing means suitably comprises means for selecting a virtual background appropriate to the physical background. In the preferred embodiment the physical background is selected to be a uniform surface of a known colour, and the virtual background is selected to visually match the physical background, for example by being approximately the same colour. Preferably, the virtual background is selected to have optical characteristics, such as colour and texture, similar to the physical background.
Suitably, the image processing means comprises means for forming an intermediate image by joining one or more boundaries of the subject image with the virtual background. Conveniently, joining the subject image to the virtual background creates an enlarged image area. In a first embodiment, a subject image is formed having a substantially rectangular outline and one edge, preferably a side edge, of the subject image is joined to a corresponding side edge of the virtual background.
- 3 The joining means preferably operates on data representing the subject image and on data representing the virtual background, which may be stored in any suitable data format. Preferably, the joining means joins the subject image to the virtual background by colour matching adjacent pixels along a boundary line.
In a second embodiment the subject image is joined along more than one boundary to the virtual background.
Conveniently a rectangular subject image is joined by two, three or four boundaries to the virtual background.according to the size of field required in the eventual composite image. Where the subject image is joined along all boundaries, ie.. along all four sides of the rectangular image, the subject image is effectively placed within the virtual background.
The image processing means suitably produces a composite image by super imposing said foreground image section over the intermediate image formed by joining the subject image to the virtual background image. The foreground image may take any suitable form, and conveniently is a cut out image of a popular personal character. In this way, a composite image is formed containing both the subject against the physical background, expanded to include the virtual background, and the foreground image against this intermediate image.
In a first preferred embodiment the foreground image section is applied over only the virtual background. That is, the subject appears before the physical background and the foreground character image appears before the virtual background, with the intersection between these two images along a boundary line joined as described above to provide the appearance of a continuous single image in the composite image.
In a second preferred arrangement suitable for, for example, a foreground image containing a group of characters such as the members of a pop group, the foreground image is applied over any desired portion of the intermediate image, -ie. over the subject, over the physical background or over the virtual background, or any combination of these. In this way the subject is combined closely with the foreground image to form a attractive composite image. The apparatus preferably comprises user input means for enabling the user to position the foreground image with respect to the intermediate image. Conveniently, the user input means is a touch screen monitor or other suitable use input device.
The image output means displays the composite image in any suitable form. The image may be displayed temporarily such as on a CRT monitor, or output in permanent form using any suitable printing device.
For a better understanding of the invention, and to show how embodiments of the same may be carried into effect, reference will now be made, by way of example, to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a schematic view of a preferred embodiment of the composite image apparatus; Figures 2-6 are schematic representations illustrating the preferred method and apparatus for producing a composite image.
- 5 As shown in figure 1 the preferred apparatus comprises a central control unit 10 having data storage such as a hard disc 11 and a permanent visual output such as a printer 12, a temporary visual output such as a monitor 13, a payment mechanism 14, a camera 15 and a user interface such as a touch screen 16 of the monitor 13.
The apparatus is preferably mounted within a housing of a photobooth with the camera 15 directed toward a subject 20 arranged in front of a known background 21. Suitably the monitor 13 and the user input means such as the touch screen 16 are located convenient for the user when in the,position of the subject 20. The photobooth may take any suitable form with arrangements for positioning the subject relative to the is camera 15 such as a height adjustable seat and/or arrangements for positioning the camera 15 with respect to the subject 20 for example by moving the camera or by moving the optical path such as by tilting a mirror.
In the preferred method of operation the subject 20 inserts payment into the payment mechanism 14 for example by inserting coins or a credit card to release activation of the apparatus. The user adjusts their relative position with respect to the camera 15 suitably by looking at live images from the camera 15 on the monitor 30 until an acceptable subject image is achieved. The camera 15 is suitably a digital camera, or alteratively a combination of motion and still picture cameras may be employed.
The user controls may take any suitable form, for example buttons or a joystick, or suitably a touch screen 16 for the monitor 13.
In common with typical photobooth arrangements the subject 20 is photographed against a background 21 suitably mounted on the rear wall of the photobooth. The background 21 is preferably uniformly lit, for example in the form of a 5 backlit semi-transparent or translucent screen.
In the preferred arrangement the background 21 is a known colour or colours. For example, the background is selected to be a single uniform colour over at least the area visible to the camera 15, or alternatively the background 21 may be a background scene having a known colour or colours particularly at edge portions thereof.
Conveniently the apparatus operates in a passport mode to produce a output image for example using a colour printer 12 or photograph image developer showing the subject 20 before the background 21, responsive to user controls following payment using the payment means 14.
As shown in figure 2 the-subject 20 is photographed in front of the physical background 21 to produce a subject image. The subject image is processed as will be familiar to the skilled person, for example to produce a cropped image within a predetermined frame 22. The subject image is output to the printer 12 in the first operating mode as a passport type photograph, typically with four images being produced in a strip.
In a second operating mode it is desired to produce composite image showing the subject 20 together with additional foreground image such as an animal, a cartoon, a person. This second embodiment will now be described more detail with reference to figures 2 through 6.
a an or in In the second mode the user selects, such as by using input means 16, a foreground subject such as a popular footballer from amongst a predetermined selection displayed on the monitor 13.
where the foreground subject is determined to be of a first type, for example corresponding to a single character or person, a first composite image is formed as shown in figures 3 and 4. In this embodiment the foreground image is desired to be shown adjacent one side of the subject image, for example to the left or to the right as shown in figure 3.
Referring to figure 3 the subject image 2 is joined to a virtual image 3 to produce an intermediate image. The is background of the virtual image 31 is selected to match the physical background 21 of the subject image 2. That is, the subject image 2 and the virtual image 3 are joined along one edge 23 of the subject image 2, suitably by merging pixels of each image at common joining points to produce an integrated picture. Where the physical background 21 is a single colour the virtual background 31 is selected to be a closely matching single colour and the join 23 merged by altering colour values of pixels in the subject and in the background to produce a smooth transition from the subject background to the virtual background 31. Similarly, where the physical background 21 represents a landscape scene the virtual background 31 can optionally represent a corresponding part of the background scene or a complementary type background scene. The join 23 is again masked to integrate the subject background 21 with the virtual background 31.
- 8 As shown in figure 4, the foreground image 30 is positioned at any desired location against the virtual background 31 to form the final composite image.
Referring now to figure 5 a second option is shown suitable for use when the subject is desired to be combined with a large image such as a group of persons. In this embodiment the subject image 2 is joined along two, three, or as shown, four edges to a virtual background 3, and the join blurred or matched as described above. The field of view of the combined intermediate image is represented by the combined area of subject image 21 and the virtual background. 31 and is selected according to the size of image field required in the final image. As shown in f igure 6 the is foreground image 30 such as the members of a pop group are positioned over the intermediate image either automatically or under user control until a desired combination is achieved. The resultant composite image showing the subject 20 combined with the foreground 30 against the real and virtual backgrounds 21, 31 is printed using printer 12 under the control of the PC 10.
Conveniently the foreground images are held in electronic form by suitable storage device such as hard disc drive 11 of f igure 1. The foreground images are readily changed and updated according to the preferences of the users of the photobooth. Suitably the foreground image is stored as a cut out with the foreground image separated from a background in a pre-processing stage.
The method and apparatus described above have many advantages, enabling a composite image to be produced quickly and simply with minimal processing. In particular there is 9 no requirement for the subject 20 to be isolated from the physical background 21. Instead, realising that in a composite photograph it is the subject and the foreground image that are of greatest importance to the user, the physical background 21 is matched with a corresponding virtual background to produce an acceptable composite image.
