2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, various functions have been added to a camera in addition to an imaging function according to the purpose of use. For example, due to the spread of GPS, latitude and longitude data of a photographing point is received from an artificial satellite, and a photographed image is obtained. GPS cameras that add and record received data to a GPS have been put to practical use.

Further, in photogrammetry, a system has been proposed in which a single photogrammetric camera is used to photograph a subject and a target placed in the vicinity of the subject from a plurality of arbitrary points. Various data for creating a survey map are transmitted from the target, and a photogrammetric camera is provided with a receiving function to record the received data together with the image.

[0004] In a camera device such as a GPS camera or a photogrammetric camera, an imaging and recording function is provided in a camera body, and a receiving unit having a receiving function can be attached to and detached from the camera body.

[0005]

However, since the connecting cable for electrically connecting the camera body and the receiving unit is exposed, the connecting cable interferes when the camera device is used. Sometimes. The receiving unit is usually equipped with a receiving antenna,
Because this antenna protrudes from the receiving unit,
Like a connection cable, it can get in the way.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a camera device with a reception function with improved operability and portability.

[0007]

A camera device with a receiving function according to the present invention comprises a camera having an image sensor, a receiving unit detachable from the camera and receiving predetermined data, and a receiving unit mounted on the camera. And a connecting means for connecting the camera and the receiving unit to each other outside of the receiving unit, and an antenna / cover that is attached to the camera and the receiving unit to cover the connecting means and to be connected to the receiving unit. Features. Thus, the predetermined data can be reliably received via the antenna / cover. Further, the connection means is protected by the antenna / cover, preventing breakage and inundation.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a camera device having a receiving function according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, photogrammetry using the camera device with a reception function according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. First, a target 12 is placed in the vicinity of a subject 10 to be measured (shown as a cube in FIG. 1). The target 12 has an L-shape, and reference point members 14, 16, 1, which are indicator members for visual recognition, are provided on the upper surfaces of two ends and corners.
8 are provided respectively. The target is placed on the road surface such that a reference plane defined by the three reference point members 14, 16, 18 is substantially parallel to the road surface. The subject 10 and the target 12 are photographed by the camera device 20 with a reception function from two different directions.

A sensor (not shown) for measuring the inclination angle of the reference plane with respect to the horizontal plane is provided inside the target 12.
A sensor (not shown) for measuring an azimuth indicating the position of the target 12 and a control circuit (not shown) for processing data obtained from these sensors are provided. The control circuit previously stores data unique to the target 12, such as the distance between the reference point members, and generates photogrammetry data by combining the data unique to the target 12 and data obtained from the sensor. In short, the photogrammetry data includes the azimuth of the target 12, the inclination angle of the reference plane with respect to the horizontal plane, and the distance between the reference point members.

The photogrammetric data is modulated and transmitted from a transmission unit (not shown) provided inside the target 12 to the camera device 20 having a reception function at predetermined intervals, for example, by a wireless system. The camera device 20 with the receiving function temporarily stores the received photogrammetric data after demodulation. The photogrammetric data held in the camera device 20 with a receiving function is updated each time it is received.

The camera device 20 with a receiving function converts an optical image of a subject for one frame into digital image data and, if necessary, stores it on an appropriate recording medium, for example, an IC memory card (see FIG. 4; reference numeral 500). Store. At this time,
The temporarily held photogrammetry data is also stored in the IC memory card 500 together with the image data.

Next, in a dedicated photogrammetric image processing device (not shown), image data and photogrammetric data are read from the IC memory card 500, and a subject is read based on the read image data and photogrammetric data. 10
Survey map is created. Since the target 12 is placed in the same place in the two shootings shown in FIG. 1, the two photogrammetric data corresponding to the respective image data substantially match.

When creating a survey map, for example, a three-dimensional coordinate system is set with the reference plane defined by the target 12 as the XZ plane and the reference point member 14 as the origin, and a plurality of object points on the subject 10 are set. , Set 3
Relative three-dimensional coordinates in a three-dimensional coordinate system are obtained.
The relative distance between the object points is scaled based on the distance between the reference point members included in the photogrammetry data, whereby the arrangement relationship based on the actually measured values of the object points is obtained.

Here, in order to obtain a highly accurate survey map, the reference plane is corrected based on the inclination of the reference plane with respect to the horizontal plane, and is made to coincide with the horizontal plane. In addition, the orientation of the survey map is determined based on the azimuth of the target 12, and when a large number of survey maps are obtained, these survey maps can be easily combined. By the above processing, an accurate horizontal plan view of the subject is obtained as a survey map.

As described above, the photogrammetric data is used for scaling and correction of the reference plane, whereby a highly accurate survey map can be obtained. In the present embodiment, since the camera device 20 with the reception function stores the image data and the photogrammetry data together, the photogrammetry data can be easily obtained in the photogrammetry image processing device, and the input labor is reduced. Can be omitted.
