Description

  The present invention relates to a RAW data developing device, a RAW data developing method, and a program. More specifically, a RAW data development device that performs processing for converting RAW data generated by an imaging device such as a digital camera into a specific file format that can be handled by an information processing device such as a personal computer, and RAW data development It relates to a method and a program.

  Devices that use image sensors such as charge-coupled devices (CCD) or complementary metal oxide semiconductor devices (C-MOS sensors) can store RAW data recorded with almost no output signal from the image sensor There is. Since the RAW data is stored with a specific specification for each device, a general-purpose image processing apparatus cannot directly display or edit an image from the RAW data. Therefore, in order to handle RAW data as an image file, a development process for converting to a general-purpose image file format is executed. Also, the RAW data has a larger file size than many types of image files generated by some compression processing.

  However, on the other hand, RAW data records an image in a wide color space, dynamic range, etc. by making the best use of the performance of the image sensor. Therefore, when performing color correction, image quality adjustment, etc., a large adjustment allowance is taken and image quality deterioration is small. Therefore, there is an advantage that an image file having a desired image quality can be generated by image processing.

The following patent document discloses an image processing system capable of handling various RAW data having different specifications. This document describes that a communication line is connected to an image processing system, image processing data for adapting to each RAW data is supplied, and a high-quality image is automatically output. .
Japanese Patent Application No. 2004-064434

  In particular, with the development of high performance digital cameras, the processing of image quality adjustment, color adjustment, and the like is actively executed as expression means in the development processing for RAW data, and an image file having a desired image quality is generated. In such a case, the image quality of the obtained image file largely depends on adjustment values set for various parameters in the development process.

  In addition, since the image quality required for the image file differs individually, the optimum adjustment value is not uniquely determined. In other words, for each user, the adjustment value employed in the development process that provides the desired image quality is valuable data for reproducing the desired image quality. Therefore, the adjustment values used in the executed development process can be stored in many means for executing the development process.

  On the other hand, as the capacity of recording media and the like increases, the number of RAW data files handled is increasing. Accordingly, some means for executing development processing has a function of developing a plurality of RAW data at once. However, in the case of batch processing, it is common to use a common adjustment value for a plurality of RAW data. The reason is that if adjustment values are set individually, the effect of shortening the total processing time by batch processing is small.

  As described above, in order to handle a large amount of RAW data, it is advantageous to apply a common adjustment value to a plurality of RAW data and execute development processing at once. However, when RAW data that has already undergone development processing is included in the target of development processing, not only the best image quality cannot be obtained for the RAW data, but also the adjustment that has been able to realize the best image quality before. The value is overwritten by the common adjustment value. For this reason, the advantage of RAW data, which is advantageous for obtaining desired image quality individually, is lost.

  For the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problem, as a first embodiment of the present invention, while referring to RAW data in which an output signal of an image pickup device that discretizes an image is recorded and referring to at least one parameter value as an adjustment value, A development processing execution unit that executes development processing for conversion into an image file of a specific file format, an adjustment value reception unit that receives an input adjustment value input from the outside as an adjustment value, and target RAW data that is a target of the development processing When the adjustment value referred to in the already executed development process is associated with the specified RAW data as the existing adjustment value, the development processing execution unit sets the input adjustment value and the existing adjustment value as the adjustment value. There is provided a RAW data developing device including a selection requesting unit for displaying a screen for accepting a selection operation for selecting which one to refer from the outside. . This prevents an adjustment value that has already been used from being inadvertently overwritten with the input adjustment value. In addition, since inadvertent overwriting is prevented, the advantages of batch processing can be used safely.

  Also, according to one embodiment, in the RAW data development device, a RAW data storage unit that stores a plurality of RAW data that can be the target RAW data, and an existing RAW data associated with the RAW data that has already been subjected to the development processing. An existing adjustment value storage unit for storing the adjustment value; As a result, RAW data can be stored in the RAW data developing device and used for reuse of RAW data. Further, since RAW data to be subjected to development processing is stored in the same apparatus, the processing becomes quick. In addition, RAW data can be stored in the RAW data developing device and used to reproduce a desired image quality by developing processing.

  According to another embodiment, in the RAW data developing device, a plurality of RAW data is designated as the target RAW data, and an input adjustment value that is commonly referred to for the plurality of target RAW data is input to the adjustment value receiving unit. In addition, when the development processing execution unit collectively executes development processing for a plurality of target RAW data, the selection request unit accepts a selection operation for target RAW data in which an associated existing adjustment value exists. Is displayed. As a result, when input adjustment values are specified for a plurality of RAW data and batch development processing is performed, the adjustment values with proven results may be inadvertently overwritten with common adjustment values for batch processing. Is prevented.

  According to another embodiment, in the RAW data development device, the selection request unit performs a selection operation on a plurality of target RAW data associated with existing adjustment values related to the same parameter among the target RAW data. Display the requested screen. As a result, when a large number of RAW data are handled at the same time, selection requests can be generated collectively for RAW data for which adjustments related to the same parameter have been performed, thereby reducing the total processing time.

  According to another embodiment, in the RAW data developing device, the development processing execution unit refers to the input adjustment value or the existing adjustment value selected in the selection operation based on the selection operation screen, and performs the development processing. Execute. As a result, the RAW data that has undergone the development process is subjected to the development process using the individual adjustment values, so that an image file having a desired image quality is generated.

  Furthermore, according to another embodiment, in the RAW data developing device, the selection request unit does not display a selection operation screen when there is no existing adjustment value associated with the target RAW data. Thereby, it is possible to prevent an increase in processing time due to a selection request for an unnecessary selection operation.

  Further, as a second aspect of the present invention, an image of a specific file format is referred to RAW data in which an output signal of an image sensor that divides and shoots an image is recorded with reference to at least one parameter value as an adjustment value. A method of converting to a file, a procedure for receiving an input adjustment value input from the outside as an adjustment value, and a development process that has already been performed on RAW data designated as target RAW data that is a target of the development process A screen for accepting a selection operation from the outside for selecting whether the development processing execution unit refers to the input adjustment value or the existing adjustment value as the adjustment value when the adjustment value referred to in step 1 is associated as the existing adjustment value RAW data development method including a procedure for displaying. Thereby, an easy and reliable image correction can be performed regardless of hardware resources.

  Furthermore, as a third aspect of the present invention, RAW data in which an output signal of an image sensor that divides and shoots an image is recorded with reference to at least one parameter value as an adjustment value, and a specific file format. A RAW data development program for converting to an image file, the step of receiving an input adjustment value input from the outside as an adjustment value, and already executed for the RAW data designated as target RAW data to be developed When the adjustment value referred to in the developed processing is associated as an existing adjustment value, the development processing execution unit performs a selection operation to select which of the input adjustment value and the existing adjustment value is referred to as the adjustment value. A RAW data development program including a step of displaying a screen received from the outside is provided. Thus, easy and reliable image correction can be performed using a general-purpose information processing apparatus as well as a dedicated machine.

  It should be noted that the above summary of the invention does not enumerate all the necessary features of the present invention. In addition, a sub-combination of these feature groups can also be an invention.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described through embodiments of the invention. However, the following embodiments do not limit the invention according to the claims. In addition, not all the combinations of features described in the embodiments are essential for the solving means of the invention.

  In addition, the information processing apparatus 200 includes a disk drive 160. A program for controlling the operation of the information processing apparatus 200 can be read from a recording medium 162 (not shown in FIG. 1) loaded in the disk drive 160 and operated as the RAW data developing apparatus 10. In addition, the program can be installed in the information processing apparatus 200 from the recording medium 162. Further, RAW data to be processed can be read from the recording medium 162 loaded in the disk drive 160. Needless to say, the program and RAW data can be read not only through the disk drive 160 but also through other media such as a communication line.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram schematically showing the internal structure 20 of the information processing apparatus 200 in the RAW data developing apparatus 10 shown in FIG. Components that are the same as those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  As shown in the figure, an adjustment value receiving unit 210 is formed in the information processing apparatus 200. The adjustment value receiving unit 210 holds an adjustment value input from the outside via an input device such as the mouse 130 and the keyboard 140 as a new input adjustment value.

  In the information processing apparatus 200, a RAW data storage unit 220 for storing RAW data that can be a target of development processing is formed. The RAW data storage unit 220 stores a plurality of RAW data, and provides the RAW data designated from the outside via the mouse 130, the keyboard 140, etc. as “target RAW data” to the development processing execution unit 250 described later. To do. In this embodiment, the RAW data storage unit 220 is formed inside the information processing apparatus 200. For example, the storage area of the digital camera 120 connected to the information processing apparatus 200 is used as the RAW data storage unit 220. You can also

  Furthermore, an existing adjustment value storage unit 230 is formed in the information processing apparatus 200. The existing adjustment value storage unit 230 stores the adjustment value referred to in the already executed development process as an existing storage value. The stored existing adjustment value is stored in association with RAW data in which the adjustment value is used in the development process. Accordingly, when RAW data that has already been subjected to development processing becomes a target of development processing again, an existing adjustment value related to the RAW data can be retrieved and used again for development processing.

  Furthermore, the selection requesting unit 240 formed in the information processing apparatus 200 receives both the output of the adjustment value receiving unit 210 and the existing adjustment value storage unit 230. Also, either the input adjustment value or the existing adjustment value is alternatively referred to by the development processing execution unit 250 via the adjustment value transfer unit 242.

  The development processing execution unit 250 executes development processing on the RAW data acquired from the RAW data storage unit 220 while referring to the adjustment value acquired via the selection request unit 240. The “development process” executed here includes a process of converting the RAW data into a general-purpose image file format, for example, an image file in a specific file format such as TIFF format, GIF format, JPEG format or the like. The development processing here also includes processing for simultaneously executing image quality adjustment processing such as image quality, hue, noise reduction, and contrast adjustment so that an image file obtained from RAW data has a desired image quality.

  FIG. 3 is displayed to perform an operation for designating the RAW data to be developed when the RAW data developing process is executed using the RAW data developing apparatus 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. It is a figure which shows the screen display. As shown in the figure, the screen display 30 includes a window 300 in which a plurality of display areas are integrated.

  A title bar 310 is formed at the top of the window 300.

A close button 314 for closing the window 300 is also displayed at the right end of the title bar 310.

  An operation panel 320 is formed in the next stage of the window 300. The operation panel 320 includes operation buttons that visualize commands such as directory operations necessary for designating target RAW data to be subjected to development processing from a plurality of RAW data stored in the RAW data storage unit 220. ing. That is, an upper directory move button 324 for moving to an upper hierarchy, a directory move button 326 for returning or moving the move history between directories, an operation cancel button 328 for canceling the immediately preceding operation, and a discard button for discarding the selected object It is 329 etc. In addition, a selection button 322 used for selecting RAW data, which will be described later, and an adjustment value setting button 323 for setting an adjustment value to be referred to in development processing are also arranged. By operating the mouse 130 or the like and pressing these buttons, commands corresponding to the respective functions are executed.

  The next stage of the window 300 is divided into two areas, a list panel 330 and a thumbnail panel 340. The left list panel 330 displays a file name list 334 in which file names of RAW data stored in the RAW data storage unit 220 are listed. The displayed file name can be individually specified via an input device such as a mouse 130 and a keyboard 140, and the specified file name is visually highlighted by a frame 336 or the like. The list panel 330 includes a scroll bar 338 and can display a number of file names that do not fit within the height of the list panel 330.

  On the other hand, the right thumbnail panel 340 displays the file name 342, thumbnail image 344, and related data list 346 of the RAW data highlighted in the list panel 330. The related data list 346 also includes a scroll bar 348, and a large number of related data that does not fit in the height of the related data list 346 can be displayed. Thereby, the user can confirm the contents of the file he / she intends to specify from clues other than the file name.

  The related data referred to here is various data related to the highlighted RAW data, and the contents include the date when the RAW data was generated, the type of device that generated the data, the data size, and the like. However, the presence / absence of this type of related data, items, thumbnail images, and the like are not necessarily displayed because they depend on the RAW data standard.

  At the bottom of the window 300, an execution panel 350 including a help button 352, an execution button 354, and a cancel button 356 is arranged. When the execution button 354 is pressed, the operation on the screen display 30 is terminated, and the operation proceeds to the next step described later. It should be noted that “execution end” is displayed on the execution button 354 to indicate an operation that occurs when the execution button 354 is pressed. The help button 352 and the cancel button 356 are general-purpose buttons for referring to the help file and ending the processing, respectively, and are not directly related to the RAW data development processing.

  In the window 300 as described above, when the selection button 322 of the operation panel 320 is pressed with any file name highlighted on the list panel 330, a check mark 332 is displayed on the left side of the file name. It is indicated that the RAW data relating to the file name is designated as a development processing target. In addition, after checking one file name, by highlighting another file name and pressing the selection button 322, a plurality of RAW data can be designated.

  Further, when the adjustment value setting button 323 of the operation panel 320 is pressed in a state where any file name is highlighted on the list panel 330, the adjustment referred to when the RAW data relating to the file name is developed. Values can be set individually. As a result, adjustment values can be individually set for a plurality of designated RAW data.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a screen display 40 displayed when the adjustment value setting button 323 is pressed. As shown in the figure, this screen display 40 is also displayed as a window 400 in which a plurality of display areas are integrated.

  A title bar 410 is formed at the top of the window 400. The title bar 410 displays a title 412 indicating that the user's work in this window 400 is “adjustment value setting” for setting an adjustment value to be referred to when executing development processing. A close button 414 for closing the window 400 is also displayed at the right end. Furthermore, an execution panel 450 including a help button 452, execution buttons 454 and 455, and a cancel button 456 is arranged at the bottom. As with the window 300, the help button 352 and the cancel button 356 are not directly related to the development process.

  The middle part of the window 400 is divided into three areas: an adjustment item selection panel 420, an adjustment value setting panel 430, and a preview panel 440. The adjustment item selection panel 420 lists adjustment items that can be adjusted in the RAW data developing device 10, and an arbitrary item can be selected by the mouse 130 or the like. The selected item is highlighted by a frame 426. In addition, on the left side of the adjustment item selection panel 420, a hierarchical display 422 indicating the hierarchical relationship of the adjustment items is also displayed.

  When any adjustment item is selected and highlighted on the adjustment item selection panel 420, an object for changing the adjustment value of the selected adjustment item is displayed on the adjustment value setting panel 430. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the adjustment item “film selection” is selected on the adjustment item selection panel 420, and the adjustment value setting panel 430 displays the name of the adjustment item display 432 selected at that time and the adjustment thereof. In the item, possible values of the adjustment value 434 are listed. In the example shown in FIG. 4, a selection display 436 is shown on the radio button on the left side of the selection item “shooting setting”, and it can be seen that “setting during shooting” is selected as the adjustment value. The adjustment value setting panel 430 includes a list of options as described above, a character input field, a slider that can continuously change the value, and a deformable figure such as a tone curve. An object suitable for the adjustment item is displayed.

  The preview panel 440 displays an adjustment value list 446 listing the file name 442, the preview image 444, and the adjustment values that are being set. Preferably, if the preview image 444 displayed here changes according to the change of the input set value, the user can easily adjust.

  In the window 400 including the object as described above, by repeating the operation of selecting an adjustment item on the adjustment item selection panel 420 and determining the value on the adjustment value setting panel 430, the desired adjustment item can be selected. Can be set. The adjustment values thus set are displayed in a list in the adjustment value list 446. When the setting of the necessary item adjustment values is completed, one of the execution buttons 454 and 455 on the execution panel 450 is pressed.

  This window 400 includes two execution buttons 454 and 455. One execution button 454 has a function of returning to the window 300 for designating the RAW data again after setting the adjustment value input in this window 400 in the adjustment value receiving unit 210 as described as “end of setting”. Have. The other execution button 455 is described as “development start” and has a function of proceeding to development processing without returning to the window 300. When any of these execution buttons 454 and 455 is pressed, the window 400 is closed.

  Here, when the “development start” execution button 455 is pressed, if the RAW data for which the adjustment value is to be set has already been developed, it is stored in the adjustment value receiving unit 210. There are two adjustment values, the input adjustment value that has been input and the existing adjustment value stored in the existing adjustment value storage unit 230. Therefore, the selection requesting unit 240 generates a selection request asking which adjustment value is referred to execute the development processing.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a screen display 50 displayed on the display as a selection request in such a case. As shown in the figure, the screen display 50 includes a window 500 that is displayed as a modal dialog that does not continue unless one of the options is selected.

  The title bar 510 is formed at the top of the window 500. The title bar 510 displays a title 512 that prompts the user to confirm. Further, a close button 514 is also arranged at the right end, which has substantially the same function as the cancel button 556. Further, a help button 552, an execution button 554, and a cancel button 556 are arranged at the bottom.

  In the middle of the window 500, a selection item display 522 for explaining items to be selected and a selection item display 524 for displaying selectable options are arranged. When a desired process is selected from the selection item display 524, the execution button 554 can be pressed, and the process described in the selected selection item is executed. That is, the selection requesting unit 240 sends either the existing adjustment value stored in the existing adjustment value storage unit 230 or the input adjustment value held in the adjustment value receiving unit 210 to the adjustment value transfer unit 242. To the development processing execution unit 250.

  In the drawing, the selection of the upper selection item is highlighted by the selected display 526 in the radio button arranged on the left of the selection item. When the execution button is pressed in this state, the “use existing adjustment value” process is continued. Accordingly, the selection requesting unit 240 provides the existing adjustment value stored in the existing adjustment value storage unit 230 as an adjustment value to the development processing execution unit 250 via the adjustment value transfer unit 242. In this way, the development processing execution unit 250 can develop the specified RAW data. Note that when the execution button 455 in which “setting is completed” is pressed in the window 400 shown in FIG. 4, the screen display 30 shown in FIG. 3 is returned and other RAW data can be additionally specified.

  In the RAW data designation operation shown in FIG. 3, when the adjustment value setting button 323 is pressed while a plurality of file names are selected, the adjustment value setting window 400 is also displayed. . In this case, the adjustment values set in the window 400 are collectively applied to the selected RAW data. Note that when setting adjustment values for a plurality of RAW data at once, the preview image 444 displayed on the preview panel 440 is for any one of the images, or prepared in advance in the RAW data development device 10. A general-purpose sample image can be used.

  Also in this case, when the execution buttons 454 and 455 of the window 400 are pressed, the process proceeds to the next process. At this time, if the designated RAW data has already been developed, and RAW data associated with the existing adjustment value stored in the existing adjustment value storage unit 230 is included, The selection request unit 240 generates a selection request.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a screen display 60 displayed on the display as a selection request in the above case. As shown in the figure, this screen display 60 also includes a window 600 displayed as a modal dialog in which processing is not continued unless any option is selected. In addition, the selection item display 624 is newly added with an item of excluding RAW data associated with the existing adjustment value from the target of development processing. Thereby, when a plurality of RAW data is specified, it is possible to cope with a case where some RAW data is associated with the existing adjustment value. The functions of the help button 652, the execution button 654, and the cancel button 656 in this dialog are the same as the functions of the help button 552, the execution button 554, and the cancel button 556 shown in FIG.

  Furthermore, when there is a habit of processing a plurality of RAW data at once as described above, a plurality of RAW data associated with the specified existing adjustment value is included, and further, the RAW data associated with these existing adjustment values. May include a group developed with reference to a common existing adjustment value. Therefore, in such a case, it is preferable to collectively handle selection requests for RAW data belonging to the same group.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a screen display 70 displayed on the display as a selection request generated by the selection request unit 240 in such a case. In addition, about the structure and display which are common in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6, the corresponding reference number is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted. This screen display 70 also includes a window 700 that is displayed as a modal dialog in which processing is not continued unless any option is selected.

  As shown in FIG. 7, a selection item display 724 displayed as an option in this window 700 is common to the selection item display 624 shown in FIG. However, in this window 700, the file name list 738 belonging to the group of RAW data that has been developed with a common existing adjustment value and the RAW data included in the file name list 738 are related. An adjustment value list 734 indicating adjustment values is also displayed. List contents display 732 and 736 are displayed on the left side of the file name list 738 and the adjustment value list 734, respectively.

  By displaying in the window 700 as described above, the user can collectively select a processing method for a group of RAW data associated with a common existing adjustment value. Therefore, not only can the existing adjustment value be used effectively, but the target of the batch processing that has already been executed can be batch processed again, so that the total work time related to the RAW data development processing can be shortened.

  If none of the RAW data specified in the window 300 shown in FIG. 3 is associated with the existing adjustment value, no selection request is generated, and FIGS. The windows 500, 600 and 700 shown in FIG. Therefore, useless selection requests do not occur.

  As described above in detail, the RAW data development device 10 can select development processing using RAW data that has been developed in the past using previous adjustment values. Therefore, an adjustment value that has been used to obtain a desired image quality before is not inadvertently overwritten with a newly input adjustment value. If an existing adjustment value is selected according to the selection request, the best image quality desired for each user or for each application can be easily obtained.

  Furthermore, since a selection request is generated for RAW data for which existing adjustment values exist, batch processing can be used without difficulty when handling a large amount of RAW data. Therefore, the total work time of the development process can be shortened.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using embodiment, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the range as described in the said embodiment. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications or improvements can be added to the above-described embodiment. Furthermore, it is apparent from the description of the scope of claims that the embodiments added with such changes or improvements can be included in the technical scope of the present invention.
