Description

  The present invention relates to an image playback device and an image playback program, and more particularly to a technique for giving a perspective to a two-dimensional image and making it appear stereoscopically.

  Conventionally, various techniques for expressing a two-dimensional plane three-dimensionally have been proposed. As an example, a stereogram using binocular parallax is known. Since the stereogram needs to use two types of images, it requires shooting using a special device, and a special filter and glasses are required to observe the display image. For example, Patent Document 1 is known as a method for stereoscopically displaying a two-dimensional image without using such a filter or glasses.

  In Patent Document 1, when a plurality of layers corresponding to one two-dimensional image are displayed two-dimensionally (on the same plane), the layers are tuned in the same direction so that the amplitude amount increases as the previous layer. While vibrating. Here, “front stage” means an observer side (front side) in a direction perpendicular to the screen, and “rear stage” is used in the opposite sense of the previous stage. Patent Document 1 does not describe how to generate a plurality of layers from one two-dimensional image, but the method is described in Patent Document 2, for example.

In Patent Document 2, depth information is calculated for each pixel from image data of a two-dimensional image, and the two-dimensional image is separated into a foreground and a distant view (layer) based on the depth information. Here, as described in paragraph [0027] of Patent Document 2, the depth information for each pixel is obtained by calculating the saturation for each pixel of the two-dimensional image data and regarding the saturation as a depth value. Have acquired. This is based on the general tendency that the scenery becomes lighter (saturation decreases) as the distance increases, and the color becomes sharper (saturation increases) closer. Various methods for calculating the depth information for each pixel, that is, the distance from the shooting position for each pixel, have been developed and put to practical use in “Mercury 3D” of Mercury System Co., Ltd.
Japanese Patent No. 3448604 JP 2002-123842 A

Vibrating the layers of the display image in the same direction as in Patent Document 1 is artificial and unnatural for the purpose of viewing photographs. For this reason, there has been a demand for a method of displaying a two-dimensional image so that it looks three-dimensional and natural by a simple method without using a special filter or glasses.
An object of the present invention is to provide a technique for displaying a two-dimensional image so that it looks three-dimensional and natural by a simple method without using a special filter or glasses.

Hereinafter, after explaining the principle of the present invention, the configuration of the present invention will be described for each claim.
When the layer is vibrated as in Patent Document 1, it looks unnatural. In order to eliminate the unnaturalness, it is only necessary to give a display effect that is obtained by panning and shooting by moving the layer only in a certain direction. In that case, in order to obtain a three-dimensional effect, it is necessary to increase the movement amount in the preceding layer. Further, in Patent Document 1, the movement direction of each layer is described as “left and right, up and down, or a direction in which these are combined” can be adopted. However, the stereoscopic effect is insufficient.

  Therefore, if the layer is moved in the front-rear direction (direction perpendicular to the screen) in addition to the left and right, the upper and lower sides, or the direction in which these are combined, the expression effect is further enhanced. Specifically, by enlarging the layer, the subject indicated by the layer appears to move in a direction approaching the viewer. On the other hand, by reducing the layer, the subject indicated by the layer appears to move away from the viewer. At this time, the difference between the enlargement ratio or the reduction ratio of 100% is increased in the preceding layer, and the enlargement ratio or the reduction ratio is close to 100% in the subsequent layer. By doing so, a perspective is added to the appearance of the subject approaching or moving away, and the stereoscopic effect is increased.

  However, when changing the amount of movement between the previous layer and the subsequent layer and moving them, the part that is not shown in the original two-dimensional image, that is, behind the previous subject, from the shooting position The part that was not visible must be displayed. In that case, it is necessary to create an image of a portion that is not shown in the original two-dimensional image, but the creation of a fictitious image should be avoided. As a solution to this problem, the inventor made in advance a state in which each layer is moved closer to the viewer than the composition of the subject indicated by the original two-dimensional image, and this state is used as an image at the start of display as described above. The method of displaying while moving each layer was devised.

  The “state in which each layer is moved closer to the viewer” here is created by enlarging each layer with a larger enlargement ratio as the previous layer. In this case, at the display start time, the enlargement rate of the preceding layer is larger than the succeeding layer, so that a part of the succeeding layer is hidden by the preceding layer. Therefore, if the moving amount of the layer is within a predetermined range, it is only necessary to display the image shown in the original two-dimensional image even if each layer is moved and displayed, and it is necessary to create a fictitious image. There is no. The present invention is based on the groundbreaking technical idea as described above, and is configured as follows.

  According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an image reproduction apparatus including a layer generation unit and a display control unit. The layer generation unit acquires image data indicating a two-dimensional image, and generates a plurality of layer image data indicating at least a part of the two-dimensional image. The display control unit changes at least one of the movement distance, the enlargement ratio, the reduction ratio, the vibration amount, and the rotation amount for each layer, and displays a plurality of layers on the monitor.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the image reproduction device according to the first aspect, the “layer generation unit calculates information corresponding to the distance from the shooting position for each pixel or pixel area for the image data of the two-dimensional image. The image data of a plurality of layers is generated in accordance with the distance from the shooting position ”.
According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the image reproduction device of the second aspect, the following points are characterized. First, the display control unit changes the enlargement ratio or the reduction ratio for each layer, and displays a plurality of layers on the monitor. Secondly, the closer the distance from the shooting position is, the larger the enlargement ratio or reduction ratio is.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the image reproducing device according to the third aspect, "the display control unit starts displaying a plurality of layers from a state where the layer closest to the shooting position is enlarged and brought to the frontmost stage. It is characterized by that.
According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided the image reproduction device according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, wherein the display control unit includes a plurality of display units corresponding to the two-dimensional image according to the reproduction time of one two-dimensional image. The moving speed is determined for each layer, and a plurality of layers are displayed while moving at the determined moving speed ”.

According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the image reproduction device according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, the display control unit displays a plurality of layers while moving the layers in one direction.
A seventh aspect of the present invention is an image reproduction program for causing a computer to function as the layer generation unit and the display control unit according to any one of the first to sixth aspects.

  In the present invention, after obtaining image data of a two-dimensional image and generating a plurality of layers, the plurality of layers are superimposed and displayed. At the time of this display, at least any one of the moving distance, the enlargement ratio, the reduction ratio, the vibration amount, and the rotation amount is changed for each layer, so that a stereoscopic effect can be given to the two-dimensional image without giving a sense of incongruity.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of an image reproduction device of the present invention will be described in the order of device configuration, operation flow, effect, and supplementary items with reference to the drawings.
<Configuration of this embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the image reproduction apparatus of the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the image playback device 10 includes a medium drive unit 20, an MPU 24, a display interface 28, a system bus 30, a storage unit 32, and an image memory 36.

  The medium drive unit 20 includes a CD-ROM drive, a DVD-ROM drive, a memory card slot, and the like. The medium drive unit 20 reads image data recorded on the loaded recording medium 40 and stores it in the image memory 36. The medium drive unit 20 also has an input interface such as a USB, and can capture image data from a network. The medium drive unit 20 may be configured to be able to capture image data from the outside wirelessly.

The image memory 36 temporarily stores image data and the like.
The MPU 24 generates a plurality of layers from the image data of the two-dimensional image read into the image memory 36, and generates a video signal that shows them three-dimensionally.
The storage unit 32 is a nonvolatile memory that stores setting conditions and the like of the image playback device 10.
The display interface 28 is connected to a monitor 48 such as a liquid crystal display device, and inputs a video signal generated by the MPU 24 to the monitor 48.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a layer generation method according to the present embodiment. FIG. 2A shows an original two-dimensional image represented by image data read from the recording medium 40, and FIGS. 2B, 2C, and 2D are respectively two views of FIG. The image of the layer produced | generated from the three-dimensional image is shown. Hereinafter, a layer generation method by the MPU 24 will be described.
First, the MPU 24 calculates a distance from the photographing position (hereinafter referred to as a depth value X) for each pixel of the image data of the original two-dimensional image by a known method described in Patent Document 2.

Next, the MPU 24 classifies all pixels into a plurality of layers according to the depth value X. That is, a plurality of pixels having a depth value X in the same range is set as a layer. For example, the pixel whose depth value X is equal to or greater than the first predetermined value is the rearmost layer R1, and the pixel whose depth value X is equal to or smaller than the second predetermined value (a value smaller than the first predetermined value) is the frontmost layer R3. The other pixels are the middle layer R2.
In the present embodiment, for simplification of description, as shown in FIG. 2A, the composition of the original two-dimensional image is as follows: the back background Ba, the middle subject house Ho, and the front subject persons Pa, Pb. And is composed of Accordingly, the latter layer R1 is made up of the background Ba as shown in FIG. 2B, the middle layer R2 is made up of the subject house Ho as shown in FIG. 2C, and the latter layer R3 is shown in FIG. As shown in 2 (d), it consists of subject persons Pa and Pb.

  In the present embodiment, as an example, by setting a region where no image exists in each layer R1 to R3 as a transparent pixel, the size (number of vertical and horizontal pixels) of the image data of each layer R1 to R3 is the same as that of the original two-dimensional image. Same as image data. Here, the transparent pixel is a pixel having no pixel value. That is, when two layers are displayed in an overlapping manner, if a pixel at a certain position is a transparent pixel in one layer and a normal pixel having a pixel value in the other layer, only the pixel value of the other layer is used. A corresponding display is displayed. Further, when displaying a plurality of layers in a superimposed manner, if a plurality of layers have pixel values for a pixel at a certain position, display is performed according to only the pixel values of the frontmost layer among them.

  As shown in FIG. 2B, in the subsequent layer R1, only the pixel area where the subject house Ho, the subject person Pa, and Pb exist in the original two-dimensional image is a transparent pixel. As shown in FIG. 2C, in the middle layer R2, a portion hidden behind the subject person Pb in the subject house Ho and a pixel region corresponding to the background Ba are transparent pixels. As shown in FIG. 2D, in the previous layer R3, pixel regions other than the subject person Pa and Pb in the original two-dimensional image are transparent pixels. The pixel area of the subject person Pa and the pixel area of the subject person Pb are not connected to each other, but are treated as one layer. That is, in the present embodiment, pixel regions having the same depth value X are handled as one layer regardless of whether or not they are connected as an image.

  In addition, when dividing into multiple layers based on the depth value X, the upper layer and the lower limit value of the depth value X of the pixels included in the layer are made smaller in the preceding layer rather than being classified at equal intervals. It is desirable to do. For example, the foremost layer is the subject in the range of depth value X = 0 to 1 [meter], the second previous layer is the subject in the range of depth value X = 1 to 5 [meter], and the third is the previous layer Is the subject in the range of the depth value X = 5 to 25 [meter], the fourth layer is the subject in the range of the depth value X = 25 to 125 [meter], and so on. It is desirable to widen the range of depth values X for.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing a method of creating an image at the start of display. In this embodiment, by enlarging each layer with a larger enlargement ratio as the previous layer, a state in which each layer is moved to the near side from the composition indicated by the original two-dimensional image is created, and this state is displayed at the start of display. Image. For example, the latter layer R1 is enlarged at an enlargement rate of 102% as shown in FIG. 3A, and the middle layer R2 is enlarged at an enlargement rate of 125% as shown in FIG. Layer R3 is enlarged at an enlargement rate of 250% as shown in FIG. The numerical value of the enlargement rate here is an example.

  Note that the enlargement ratio and reduction ratio in this specification do not mean the area ratio, but mean what percentage the number of vertical or horizontal pixels is enlarged or reduced. In the present embodiment, the image is enlarged / reduced at the same rate both in the vertical direction and in the horizontal direction. FIG. 3D is an image at the start of display in which the layers R1 to R3 expanded in this way are overlapped. Since the enlargement ratio is higher in the preceding layer, the image is a transparent pixel in each layer R1 to R3. There is no need to display the area.

  4A to 4C are explanatory diagrams showing how the layers R1 to R3 are moved and superimposed to display the original two-dimensional image in a three-dimensional manner. Note that the two vertical and horizontal dotted lines in FIGS. 4A to 4C are lines obtained by dividing the entire image vertically and horizontally in order to make the movement amounts of the layers R1 to R3 easy to understand. 48 is not displayed. The intersection of two vertical and horizontal dotted lines is the center of the image. 4A is an image at the start of display, which is the same as FIG. 3D, FIG. 4B is an image in the middle of display, and FIG. 4C is an image at the end of display. In the present embodiment, as an example, the layers R1 to R3 are moved only in one direction from the right to the left of the image. As will be described later, the movement amount at this time is set within a range in which the area that is a transparent pixel need not be displayed.

<Description of operation of this embodiment>
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the image reproduction device 10 of the present embodiment. Here, as an example, an example in which a plurality of two-dimensional images are stereoscopically displayed as a slide show will be described, but the present invention can also be applied to other display methods. Hereinafter, the operation of the image reproduction apparatus 10 will be described according to the step numbers shown in the figure.

[Step S1] The MPU 24 instructs the medium drive unit 20 which file image data is to be read. The medium drive unit 20 reads the image data file instructed by the MPU 24 from the loaded recording medium 40 and stores it in the image memory 36. In the present embodiment, the image data read here indicates a two-dimensional image.
[Step S2] The MPU 24 calculates a depth value X for each pixel of the image data read into the image memory 36 by the method described above.

[Step S3] Based on the depth value X, the MPU 24 determines whether or not the two-dimensional image indicated by the image data can be divided into a plurality of layers. Specifically, it is determined whether or not all the pixels are included in the range of the same depth value X. If it can be divided, the process proceeds to step S4, and if it cannot be divided, the process proceeds to step S9.
[Step S4] The MPU 24 generates image data of a plurality of layers from the image data of the original two-dimensional image by the procedure described in FIG.

  [Step S5] The MPU 24 determines the moving direction of the layer for display. This moving direction is set before the start of the slide show, for example, and may be determined by the MPU 24 based on the setting conditions of the image playback device 10 stored in the storage unit 32, or may be set in advance by the user. Alternatively, an arithmetic algorithm that has been optimized and learned from a database of a large number of images may be stored in the MPU 24, and a movement direction suitable for the original two-dimensional image read from the storage medium 40 may be determined. In this embodiment, as an example, each layer is moved only in one direction from the right to the left of the image.

  [Step S6] The MPU 24 enlarges each layer with a larger enlargement ratio as the preceding layer in the procedure described with reference to FIG. 3, and creates image data of an image at the start of display. The enlargement rate here is determined in advance to a maximum value such as 300%, for example, the enlargement rate of the first layer is the maximum value, and the enlargement rate of the latter layer is, for example, about 103 to 100%. What should I do? Note that the last layer need not be expanded at all.

  After creating the display start image as described above, the MPU 24 does not display the transparent pixels when the layers R1 to R3 are moved from the display start image in the movement direction determined in step S5. Find the maximum distance traveled. At this time, the ratio of the movement amounts of the layers R1, R2, and R3 is determined as follows, for example. First, the MPU 24 calculates, for each layer R1, R2, and R3, the average value of the depth values X of all the pixels classified in the layer, and sets them as average depth values Xaver1, Xaver2, and Xaver3, respectively. Then, the movement amount of each layer R1, R2, R3 is increased in proportion to the reciprocal of the average depth value Xaver1, Xaver2, Xaver3, for example, so that the movement amount of the previous layer is increased.

  The maximum movement distance may be calculated as follows, for example. That is, after simulating an image in which each layer has been moved by a predetermined amount, the process of determining whether or not to display a transparent pixel is repeated while gradually increasing the amount of movement of each layer until it is determined to be no . In this embodiment, for simplification of description, it is assumed that the average depth value Xaver1 of the subsequent layer R1 is sufficiently larger than the other layers, and the subsequent layer R1 is not moved.

  In this case, the MPU 24 simulates, on the image memory 36, an image in which the layer R3 is moved by 5 pixels, for example, and the layer R2 is moved by 1 pixel, for example, from the left to the right with respect to the image at the start of display. It is determined whether or not the pixel need not be displayed. If it is determined that it is not necessary to display the transparent pixels, an image obtained by moving the layer R3 by 10 pixels and the layer R2 by 1 pixel from the left to the right is simulated with respect to the image at the start of display. It is determined whether or not to display the transparent pixels. Such processing is repeated, and the maximum movement distances Maxr2 and Maxr3 that do not require the display of transparent pixels are obtained for the layers R2 and R3, respectively.

  Next, the MPU 24 calculates the moving speeds Vr2 and Vr3 of the layers R2 and R3 according to the reproduction time per image (for example, 1 second to 20 seconds). The moving speed here is how many pixels the layer is moved in a predetermined direction per second. Regardless of the reproduction time, the maximum movement distances Maxr2 and Maxr3 that do not need to display a transparent pixel do not change. Therefore, in this embodiment, as an example, the calculation is performed as movement speed = maximum movement distance / reproduction time.

[Step S7] The MPU 24 uses the image at the start of display generated in Step S6 as a starting point for each layer at the constant moving speed determined in Step S6 in the moving direction determined in Step S5 during the reproduction time of one image. Generates a moving video signal.
[Step S8] The MPU 24 inputs the video signal generated in step S7 to the monitor 48 via the display interface 28. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S10.

  [Step S9] This step is reached when it is determined in step S3 that the two-dimensional image cannot be divided into a plurality of layers. In step S9, the MPU 24 generates a video signal for displaying the image data read into the image memory 36 as a two-dimensional still image. Next, the MPU 24 inputs this video signal to the monitor 48 via the display interface 28. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S10.

  [Step S10] The MPU 24 determines whether there is image data of the next image to be displayed as a slide show. If there is, the process returns to step S1, and if not, performs a predetermined process and ends the slide show. During the above steps S1 to S10, the monitor 48 continuously displays images according to the video signal input in step S8 or step S9 as a slide show. During the display of the image of the video signal input in step S8, the layers R1 to R3 superimposed on the monitor 48 move at different speeds in the same direction as shown in FIG. While the image of the video signal input in step S9 is being displayed, the monitor 48 is in a still image display state. The above is the description of the operation of the image playback device 10 of the present embodiment.

<Effect of this embodiment>
As described above, in this embodiment, the depth value X is calculated for each pixel of the two-dimensional image, and the entire image area of the original two-dimensional image is divided into a plurality of image areas according to the depth value X. Generate the layer. Each layer is superimposed and displayed while moving in a certain direction. At this time, since the moving amount is increased as the layer having a smaller depth value X (the preceding stage), a layer having a large moving amount appears on the near side, and a layer having a small moving amount appears on the far side. Thus, since the perspective is added by displaying the original two-dimensional image of a still image as a moving image, it looks three-dimensional. At this time, since all the layers are moved only in the same direction, there is a display effect as if panned and photographed, and it does not look unnatural.

  Further, by enlarging each layer with a larger enlargement ratio as the previous layer, a state in which each layer is moved to the near side is created, and this is used as an image at the start of display. From this state, each layer is moved to obtain the maximum moving distance, and each layer is displayed while being moved within the range. Therefore, it is sufficient to always display the image shown in the original two-dimensional image, and it is not necessary to create a fictitious image. Therefore, it is possible to display a two-dimensional image so that it looks three-dimensional and natural by a simple method without using a special filter or glasses.

<Supplementary items of this embodiment>
The processing in steps S1 to S10 described above may be converted into a program code to create an image reproduction program (corresponding to claim 7). For example, by storing the image reproduction program in advance in the CPU of the electronic camera, the captured image can be displayed three-dimensionally on the liquid crystal monitor of the electronic camera as described above. Similarly, the image reproduction program of the present invention can be applied to a photo storage device (image storage device), an image processing device, a digital video camera, and the like.

  A slide effect (screen switching effect) may be linked to the stereoscopic display based on the video signal input in step S8. In the case of interlocking, the method of ending the display of one two-dimensional image (fade-out method) may be erased from the left to the right, for example, when the moving direction of the layer is from left to right. When the moving direction of the layer is from the front to the back, for example, the layer may be erased from the periphery of the image so that the center of the image disappears last.

  In the present embodiment, an example has been described in which all pixels having the same depth value X regardless of whether they are separated or connected as a pixel area are handled as one layer (the first layer R3 in FIG. 2). . The present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. In the case where the pixel regions are separated, even if the depth value X is in the same range, they may be treated as different layers, and the moving direction, moving speed, magnification rate, etc. may be changed.

In the present embodiment, the example in which the layer is moved in the left-right direction of the image has been described. The present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. It may be moved in any one direction (including a direction perpendicular to the screen).
For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the layers R1 to R3 may be moved from the front to the back in a direction perpendicular to the screen. 6A is an image at the start of display, which is the same as FIG. 3D, FIG. 6B is an image in the middle of display, and FIG. 6C is an image at the end of display. This is the same as the original two-dimensional image (FIG. 2A). The center positions of the layers R1 to R3 are the same in FIGS. 6A, 6B, and 6C. In FIG. 6A, if the original two-dimensional image is used as a reference, the layers R1 to R3 are enlarged at a larger enlargement ratio as the previous layer. In FIG. 6B, the enlargement ratio of each layer R1 to R3 with respect to the original two-dimensional image is smaller than that in the case of FIG.

  Therefore, if the images are displayed while being gradually changed in the order of FIGS. 6A, 6B, and 6C, the subject persons Pa and Pb appear to move from the front to the back. In order to display in such a manner, the layers R2 and R3 may be gradually reduced during display on the basis of the image at the start of display (FIG. 6A). At this time, the degree of reduction per unit time increases the difference from 100% in the preceding layer (R3).

Instead of moving in one arbitrary direction as in the above-described embodiment, two or more moving directions may be combined, such as moving from left to right and moving from the back to the front in a direction perpendicular to the screen. . Alternatively, each layer may be displayed while being rotated.
Also, for example, in the case of an image that is judged to be uncomfortable even if it is vibrated and displayed, such as an image of a yacht floating in the sea, each layer is displayed while being vibrated with an appropriate period and amplitude. Also good. When there are two yachts in the depth direction, the yacht in front is vibrated with a large amplitude and the yacht in the back is vibrated with a small amplitude. Can be expressed.

Further, different processes of enlargement, reduction, movement, rotation, and vibration may be applied to each layer of one image.
In step S2, the depth value X is calculated for each pixel. However, the depth value X may be calculated for each pixel region including a plurality of pixels, and the original image may be divided into a plurality of layers.
In the present embodiment, an example in which an original two-dimensional image is divided into three layers will be described, but the present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. You may divide | segment into two or four or more layers.

  An example is described in which, when each layer is moved from the image at the start of display, the maximum movement distance that does not need to display transparent pixels is obtained, and each layer is moved by the maximum movement distance during display on the monitor 48. It was. The present invention is not limited to such an embodiment. The total movement distance of each layer may be smaller than the maximum movement distance. Alternatively, the playback time may be appropriately changed so that the moving speed of each layer is set to a predetermined value and the total moving distance during display is within the range of the maximum moving distance.

  The correspondence between the claims and the present embodiment is as follows, for example. The layer generation unit recited in the claims corresponds to the function of the medium drive unit 20 that captures image data in the recording medium 40 into the image memory 36 and the function of the MPU 24 that generates image data of a plurality of layers. The display control unit described in claims corresponds to the function of the MPU 24 that determines the enlargement / reduction ratio and the moving speed for each layer and generates a video signal for stereoscopically displaying a two-dimensional image in steps S5 to S8.

  As described above in detail, the present invention can be used greatly in an image reproduction apparatus and an image reproduction program.
