Description

  The present invention relates to an imaging system, a photography studio, and an imaging system control method. More specifically, the present invention relates to an imaging system, a photography studio, and an imaging system having information recording means and information acquisition means that can be read without contact.

  Photographing using a photographer in a photo studio or a photo studio is one of the methods for obtaining a portrait photograph with a beautiful and lively expression.

  When shooting a person in such a studio, select a combination that suits the subject from costumes, accessories, chairs, and other props prepared in the studio in advance, and then select a background screen and lighting for the subject. Set and take a picture. Setting shooting conditions according to the subject is a very important factor in obtaining beautifully finished photos, and techniques for efficiently setting and shooting are proposed.

For example, at the time of shooting in a studio, an image shot under a large number of lighting conditions is recorded as a sample image together with the lighting conditions, and the sample image recorded by the photographer at the time of shooting is read out by a wireless transmitter / receiver. A technique for selecting lighting suitable for a subject based on a sample image displayed on the display unit is disclosed. (For example, see Patent Document 1)
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-24138

  However, since there are innumerable combinations of the number, sex, age and costumes, and props of the person as the subject described above, it is difficult to prepare all sample images as in Patent Document 1. Even if a large number of sample images are prepared, it is difficult to select a lighting pattern according to the subject from a large number of sample images at the time of shooting.

  Furthermore, in recent years, digital cameras have been used for shooting, and it has become necessary to adjust white balance and soft filter level for each subject when shooting. For example, when a white costume is combined with a bright red background, the white costume appears reddish due to the influence of red reflected light from the background, so it is necessary to correct it by adjusting the white balance of the digital camera. In particular, when photographing girls, it is necessary to make settings according to the subject in order to obtain beautiful portraits, such as setting the soft filter to an appropriate level in order to make the skin look beautiful.

  Thus, there are many setting items according to the subject, and it is necessary for the photographer to perform such setting every time the subject changes. However, at present, many photographers are not accustomed to shooting with a digital camera, and it takes a long time to make optimal settings while taking into account the conditions of the subject. Moreover, even a skilled photographer is inefficient because the setting may be wrong, especially when there are many customers, and the image is taken again.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and when taking a photo in a photo studio or a photo studio, the shooting is performed while appropriately changing the lighting conditions and image processing settings according to the conditions of the subject. An object of the present invention is to provide a photographing system capable of performing the above.

  In addition, the present invention provides a shooting condition that enables a beautifully photographed person photograph with a vivid expression to each individual photograph even in a state where customers who are subjects are concentrated, such as Shichigosan and graduation season. The goal is to set them individually and efficiently.

  According to the twelfth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a photography studio that can provide high-quality photo prints at low cost with less waiting time for customers.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  First, photographing in a general photography studio 1 will be described. FIG. 1 is an external appearance image diagram showing a photographing state in a general photography studio. In the photography studio 1, after setting the optimal lighting state according to the photographing intention for the subject, photographing is performed by flashing the strobe light in synchronization with the camera as the imaging means.

  In the photography studio 1, various lights 11 (11a to 11d) as illumination means are arranged around the subject H as shown in FIG.

  Illustrative lights used for photography include lighting devices such as a front light (not shown), a main light 11a, a background light (not shown), an accent light 11b, a top light 11c, and a sky light 11d. Also, the photography studio 1 in FIG. 1 has a roll screen 12 as a background behind, and the roll screen 12 is selected according to the subject and hangs down in the vertical direction so that an appropriate background is obtained.

  In photographing in the photography studio 1 of FIG. 1, a person who is a subject selects and wears a costume 13 and a prop 14 such as an accessory prepared in advance in the photography studio 1. Props such as a chair (not shown) are also prepared in advance in the photography studio 1, and are arranged in accordance with the preference and intention of photography. For example, in the case of a girl, the roll screen 12 is selected in accordance with the preference according to the age and sex of the person such as a red floral background.

  Shooting is performed by shooting the subject H while changing the position of the light and the output (dimming) described above with the roll screen 12 as the background. In general, the various lights 11 are appropriately selected according to the purpose of shooting and used for shooting. Moreover, a lamp for strobe light emission is provided in these lights, and it can be used as a strobe light.

  In the photography studio 1, an optimal lighting state is formed for the subject H, and then a photographer such as a cameraman operates the camera or automatically shoots, and is synchronized with an imaging operation of a camera (not shown). Then, the strobe light flashes and the subject H is photographed.

  Next, the imaging system according to the present invention will be described. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a photography studio 1 to which the imaging system according to the present invention is applied.

In the photography studio 1 in FIG. 2, a main light 25A, a top light 25B, and a background light 25C are arranged as an example of an illumination device that performs lighting. These lights have the function of a strobe light in addition to the function of an illumination light. The strobe light 25 including the main light 25A, the top light 25B, and the background light 25C is supplied with power from a strobe power source 27.
The illumination light 28 is a light for auxiliary illumination, and is arranged as necessary depending on the subject situation. The power supply device 29 is a power supply for the illumination light 28.

  A digital camera 21 that is an imaging unit that captures an image of the subject H, a non-contact reading device 22 for a subject that is a non-contact reading unit, a non-contact reading device 23 for equipment, a display / input device 41, a release button 30, and a strobe power source 27. The photographer is connected to a studio control device 40 (computer) that is a control means, and the photographer views the live view image displayed on the display device / input device 41 and presses the release button 30 at an appropriate timing to photograph. The studio control device 40 (computer) controls the amount of light emitted from the strobe light 25 during shooting.

  An object non-contact reading device 22 attached to the digital camera 21 and an equipment non-contact reading device 23 arranged at a position different from the object non-contact reading device 22 are, for example, an IC tag or an IC card. It is a device that reads information from an information recording means in a non-contact manner. The IC tag and the IC card are constituted by an IC chip, and information on a recording medium held in the IC can be read out by radio waves by the subject non-contact reading device 22 or the facility non-contact reading device 23. Hereinafter, an example using an IC tag will be described, but other information recording means such as an IC card may be used.

  The IC tag receives a power wave transmitted from the non-contact reading device 22 for the subject, reads the information of the recording medium in the IC with the power obtained from the radio wave, and transmits the information, and the IC tag is powered by There is an active method in which information recorded at all times is transmitted by radio waves. The equipment non-contact reading device 23 is a non-contact reading means that mainly receives radio waves from the active-type equipment IC tag 62 and reads information. In the case of the active system, radio waves that can reach a long distance can be transmitted, but the built-in battery needs to be replaced, and maintenance is troublesome. On the other hand, the passive type IC tag 61 for the subject has a shorter radio wave reach than the active type, but it operates by obtaining power from the received radio wave, so there is no need for a power source, and there is no risk of problems such as battery exhaustion. .

  Since the passive method has the maintenance advantages as described above, the props 14 such as the costume 13 and accessories worn by the subject H at a short distance from the non-contact reading device 22 for the subject integrated with the digital camera 21 include: A passive IC tag 61 for a subject is attached. Further, the roll screen 12, the strobe light 25, the illumination light 28, etc. are far from the subject non-contact reading device 22, and the passive IC tag is out of the radio wave reachable range. Is attached. FIG. 3 shows an example in which a passive subject IC tag 61 is attached to the costume 13 and the prop 14, and an active facility IC tag 62 is attached to the roll screen 12.

  The subject IC tag 61 to be attached to the costume 13 or the accessory 14 such as an accessory stores information on color, information on gender and age in advance. For example, the costume 13 stores information about a female child, and information on whether red correction, blue correction, or green correction is necessary when shooting the costume 13 as information about the color of the costume. . For example, in the case of a bright red costume, it is necessary to perform a correction that lowers the gain of R and increases the gain of B at the time of shooting, and this is called red correction. Similarly, a blue costume is called blue correction, and a true green costume is called green correction.

  In addition, the skin color information of the person wearing the costume 13 is measured immediately before wearing the costume 13, and the subject IC tag 61 is displayed in a color space such as HSV (Hue: Hue, Saturation Value: Saturation, Value: Luminance) or YUV. It is also possible to record numerically.

  Similarly to the costume 13, the prop 14 also has information on whether the age of 3 to 7 is a target age, regardless of gender, and whether red correction, blue correction, and green correction are necessary when shooting the prop 14. Is recorded as information about the color of the props. In addition, when there is a possibility that a metal part or the like such as an accessory is regularly reflected, the information is also recorded.

  Information relating to the light applied to the subject is recorded on the equipment IC tag 62 attached to the roll screen 12, the strobe light 25, and the illumination light 28. For example, the roll screen 12 similarly records color information and reflectance information. The strobe light 25 and the illumination light 28 store information such as the type of illumination, necessity of red correction, blue correction, and green correction.

  Now, since the subject IC tag 61 is already attached to the costume 13 and the prop 14 in this way, the information of the subject IC tag 61 attached to the other costume 13 and the prop 14 that is not the subject of photographing is erroneously set. It is necessary not to read. Therefore, the range in which the object non-contact reading device 22 attached to the digital camera 21 transmits a power wave is set so as to substantially match the shootable range of the digital camera 21. It is configured to receive radio waves responding from the attached passive-type subject IC tag 61 and obtain recorded information. By doing in this way, the information of the subject IC tag 61 outside the photographing range is not erroneously read out.

  The facility non-contact reading device 23 can mainly receive radio waves transmitted from the facility IC tag 62 attached to the roll screen 12, the strobe light 25, and the illumination light 28 arranged in the studio 1. Yes.

  The photographing lens 3 includes a zoom / focus drive unit 332 and an aperture drive unit 331. The zoom / focus drive unit 332 appropriately drives the lenses included in the lens group 32 in the optical axis direction so that the focal length is set by the user and is in focus (focusing).

  The AE control unit 72 divides the image into a plurality of blocks, and calculates an AE evaluation value based on the representative luminance value of each block. Automatic exposure control is realized using this AE evaluation value.

  The aperture driving unit 331 adjusts the aperture diameter of the aperture 33 so that the aperture value set by the AE control unit 72 is obtained. The zoom / focus drive unit 332 and the aperture drive unit 331 are also electrically connected to the main microcomputer unit 7 and operate under the control of the main microcomputer unit 7.

  In addition to the automatic control function, the AF control unit 71 and the AE control unit 72 also have a manual adjustment function in response to a control command from the studio control device 40, and can be switched by control from the studio control device 40.

  An A / D converter 51 and an image memory 53 are processing units that handle images acquired by the CCD 5. That is, the analog signal image acquired by the CCD 5 is converted into a digital signal by the A / D converter 51 and temporarily stored in the image memory 53. At the time of live view, the main microcomputer unit 7 thins out the stored image data to the number of pixels suitable for display and sequentially transmits it to the studio control device 40. Note that all image data output from the CCD 5 is transmitted as image data at the time of photographing.

  Connected to the studio control device 40 functioning as a control means are a display / input device 41, a subject non-contact reading device 22, a facility non-contact reading device 23, a release button 30, a strobe power supply 27, and a digital camera 21. .

  The display device / input device 41 is, for example, a touch panel monitor in which a touch panel is mounted on a monitor screen. Here, an example using a touch panel type monitor will be described, but the present invention is not limited to an integrated display device and input device. The display unit of the display / input device 41 can display both a live view image and a captured image from the digital camera 21. The display / input device 41 can also perform various settings of the digital camera 21 by pressing the touch panel while viewing a live view image during shooting. For example, zoom and focus adjustment, white balance adjustment, and soft filter adjustment. These control signals are sent from the studio control device 40 to the main microcomputer unit 7 of the digital camera 21. Further, a warning regarding photographing can be displayed on the display device / input device 41.

  The subject non-contact reading device 22 and the facility non-contact reading device 23 read information from the subject IC tag 61 and the facility IC tag 62 in accordance with a command from the studio control device 40, and send the information to the studio control device 40. Is transmitted.

  The release button 30 is a button for instructing the shooting timing by the photographer. When the release button is pressed, the studio control device 40 performs a predetermined process such as sending a shooting command to the digital camera 21.

  The strobe power supply 27 causes the strobe light 25 to emit light at a predetermined light emission amount and timing according to a light emission command from the studio control device 40.

  Next, the internal configuration of the studio control device 40 will be described.

  The studio control device 40 includes a CPU 42 that performs various arithmetic processes, a RAM 45 that is a work area for performing arithmetic operations, and an HDD 46 that stores control programs and various data, and the digital camera 21 and the strobe power supply 27 are integrated.

The studio control device 40 includes a large-capacity storage / reproduction device 47 such as a CD-R drive or a DVD-R drive.

  Next, functions of the CPU 42 will be described. The CPU 42 has various control functions such as control of the digital camera 21 and an image processing unit 43 and a light emission control unit 44.

  First, the white balance processing function of the image processing unit 43 will be described.

  The image processing unit 43 converts the image data transmitted from the digital camera 21 serving as an imaging unit into R, G, and B plane sequential image data, temporarily stores the image data in the RAM 45, and performs white balance processing. In the white balance processing, coefficients are calculated so that the average values of the R, G, and B image data temporarily stored in the RAM 45 are constant, and the coefficients are determined for the temporarily stored R, G, and B pixel data. Multiply by a coefficient. The resulting image data is temporarily stored in another area of the RAM 45. The image data is displayed on the display device / input device 41 from the studio control device 40.

  The soft filter processing performed by the image processing unit 43 can be realized by a method of obtaining an average value by sequentially multiplying 9 pixels including the surrounding pixels, such as a convolution calculation, by weighting coefficients. The image processing unit 43 calculates the image data temporarily stored in the RAM 45 using a preset coefficient, and the resultant image is temporarily stored in the RAM 45 in the image memory 53.

  The light emission control unit 44 controls the light emission amount and light emission timing of the strobe light 25 connected to the strobe power supply 27.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a flow of photographing using subject information in the studio control apparatus 40 shown in FIGS. Here, one shooting is described, but the same applies to continuous shooting.

  When the studio control device 40 is turned on, the studio control device 40 initializes each unit (step S200).

The studio control device 40 acquires the image data transmitted from the digital camera 21 and displays the live view image on the display device / input device 41. (Step S201)
Next, the photographer performs zoom, focus, and aperture settings according to the subject. The setting may be performed using an automatic setting function of the digital camera, or may be set by the photographer while viewing the display / input device 41 (step S202).

  Next, the studio control apparatus 40 compares the image from the digital camera 21 previously stored in the RAM 45 with the image acquired this time (step S203), and determines whether or not a predetermined evaluation value is exceeded (step S204).

  If the predetermined evaluation value is exceeded, it is determined that the subject has changed (step S204; Yes), and processing from step S205 to step S208 is executed.

  The studio control device 40 instructs the non-contact reading device 22 for subjects and the non-contact reading device 23 for equipment to read information from the IC tag 61 for subjects and the IC tag 62 for facilities, and the non-contact reading device 22 for subjects and the equipment Information read by the non-contact reading device 23 is stored in the RAM 45 as subject information. (Step S205) Since the image from the digital camera 21 is not stored in the RAM 45 in the initial state, it is determined that the subject has changed, and processing is performed.

  The studio control device 40 sets the light emission amount of the strobe light 25 from the information regarding the subject and the light emitted to the subject stored in the RAM 45 obtained in step S205.

  Next, the white balance coefficient performed by the image processing unit 43 is automatically set from the information related to the color of the subject stored in the RAM 45 in step S205 and the information related to the light emitted to the subject, or displayed. A warning is displayed on the device / input device 41 (step S207).

  An example of control contents of the studio control device 40 in step S207 is shown in Table 3.

  As an example, Case 2 in Table 2 will be described. In case 2, since only the costume is red-required, the studio control device 40 performs control to lower the gain of R by 10% and increase the gain of B by 10%, or displays a warning on the display / input device 41.

  Similarly, the coefficient of the soft filter performed by the image processing unit 43 is automatically set from the information regarding the sex and age of the subject, or a warning is displayed on the display device / input device 41 (step S208).

  An example of control contents of the studio control device 40 in step S208 is shown in Table 3.

  As an example, Case 6 in Table 3 will be described. In case 6, since the subject is female and middle-aged, the studio control device 40 makes a setting to make the soft filter strong or displays a warning on the display / input device 41.

  If the predetermined evaluation value is not exceeded, it is determined that the subject is the same (step S204; No), and the processing from step S209 is executed.

Next, the acquired image is stored in the RAM 45. (Step S209)
If the shutter button has not been pressed (step S210; No), the process returns to step S202 and subsequent processing is executed.

  When the shutter button is pressed (step S210; Yes), the processing from step S210 to step S212 is executed. That is, the studio control device 40 transmits a shooting command to the digital camera 21 and a flash command of the light emission amount set in step S206 to the strobe power source 27 to acquire a captured image (step S211).

  The image processing unit 43 performs image processing such as white balance processing and soft filter processing using the coefficients set in step S207 and step S208 (step S212), and records the image processed image in the HDD 46 (step S213).
