Description

  The present invention relates to a video editing apparatus and a video editing method, and more particularly to a user interface for performing nonlinear editing.

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in video editing apparatuses, the transition of recording media from tape media, which is sequential (linear) access media, to disk media has progressed, and non-linear editing utilizing random accessibility has become mainstream. Along with this, non-linear editing has become common in video editing at home due to the spread of personal computers (hereinafter also referred to as PCs) and the advent of disk media represented by hard disks and DVDs. In addition, it is not uncommon for many personal computers to include non-linear video editing software in the bundled software at the time of purchase.

  Conventionally, in non-linear editing of these videos, it is common to perform editing using a user interface called a timeline. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a user interface technique for editing using a timeline and a scene switching effect.

  In the prior art, in the editing method using the multitrack timeline, when trying to display the timeline at a single scale, the display scale is frequently switched in the short-time track editing such as the transition effect, The problem that the efficiency of editing work deteriorates has been pointed out. Therefore, a method for solving the above problem by dividing a track into a plurality of segments and adjusting the display scale of each segment to a length that facilitates editing work is disclosed. Conventionally, it has also been proposed to display the contents of a video in an easy-to-understand manner by displaying a thumbnail image showing the image contents in a fragmentary manner on a track.

By the way, in commercial video editing, operations such as connecting multiple video contents or applying special effects to images are the main operations, and in video editing at home, many unnecessary images included in the recorded video images are unnecessary. This is often done for the purpose of deleting unnecessary contents. For this reason, it is difficult to select an unnecessary part and a necessary part only with a thumbnail image in which the image content is displayed in a fragmentary manner, and much time for editing work is spent on this selection work. For example, in the sorting operation in the prior art, the content of the video is played back at a variable speed while the cursor on the timeline is slid to search for the target video.
JP 2003-52011 A

  However, as in the above-described prior art, when the thumbnails showing the shooting contents are simply displayed in chronological order, the importance of the shooting contents is not known and the time has passed since shooting. However, there is a problem that it is difficult for the photographer to forget the photographing contents and find an editing point to be edited (deleted). In particular, when there is a large amount of video data, it is possible to overlook the target video by increasing the playback speed of the video data with respect to the amount of movement of the cursor only by performing a search by a cursor slide operation as in the prior art described above. On the other hand, there is a problem that the efficiency of editing work decreases, such as when viewing at low speed, it takes time to view.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a video editing apparatus and a video editing method capable of efficiently and accurately searching for a target video portion when editing video data. For that purpose.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a video data acquisition unit that acquires video data obtained by shooting together with a time stamp at the time of shooting, position information indicating a shooting position related to the video data, and shooting time information. The position information of the shooting position information indicates the shooting position information acquisition unit that acquires the shooting position information associated with the map, the map information acquisition unit that acquires map information, and the acquired time stamp and shooting position information, respectively. A shooting time measuring unit that measures a shooting time at a position, and a movement locus associating unit that associates a movement locus with time information in correspondence with the coordinates of the acquired map information based on the position information of the shooting position information; A display that generates display information by synthesizing a movement trajectory with map information and a scale representing a shooting time at the position indicated by the position information on the movement trajectory. An information processing unit for setting an editing point of the acquired video data according to an operation by the operator, and the display information generating unit is on a scale corresponding to the time stamp of the video data corresponding to the editing point. An edit point on the scale corresponding to the edit point was provided.

  Another aspect of the invention is to acquire video data obtained by shooting together with a time stamp at the time of shooting, and to acquire shooting position information in which position information indicating the shooting position related to the video data and shooting time information are associated with each other. The step of acquiring the map information, and based on the acquired time stamp and shooting position information, the shooting time at the position indicated by the position information of the shooting position information is measured, and based on the position information of the shooting position information, The step of associating the movement information with the coordinates of the acquired map information in time series, the movement locus is combined with the map information, and a scale representing the shooting time at the position indicated by the position information is displayed on the movement locus. In accordance with the step of generating the display information by combining the image data and the operation by the operator, the edit point of the acquired video data is set and the edit point On the scale corresponding to the time stamp of the corresponding video data, and a step of providing a scale on the edit point corresponding to the editing point.

  More specifically, in the present invention, an editing method using position information that is likely to be a clue to memory at the time of shooting (hereinafter referred to as “route tracking editing”) instead of information that is difficult to remain in the memory of the conventional time axis. "). In order to realize this route tracking, for example, position information by GPS (Global Positioning System) can be used. The GPS may be a separate unit independent of the video camera, or may be one that is built in the video camera and records shooting position information so as to link to a video signal. Specifically, it is possible to use images captured by separate GPS position recording devices and video cameras by linking each time stamp (time code) with a clue. In the present invention, the shooting position information is acquired together with video data that is a video signal, and based on these, a moving locus that is a displacement of the shooting position is added to map information such as a map or a topographic photograph taken from above. indicate.

  According to such an invention, the movement trajectory along the shooting order is displayed on the map, and on the movement trajectory, the shooting time length at each point is scaled (for example, a bar graph that expands and contracts according to the time length). It is possible to know the importance of the content of the shooting, such as where the shooting time is concentrated and where the shooting time is concentrated, depending on the shooting location and the length of the shooting time. In addition, if you remember the shooting location, you can remember the shooting content using that location as an opportunity. For this reason, it is possible to easily find the target video as the editing point by designating the shooting location from the trajectory displayed on the map according to these.

  According to the present invention, since the shooting location is presented in a visually easy-to-understand manner, it is easy to recall the shooting content, and the effect of greatly reducing the work of checking the image content in detail can be obtained. As a result, according to the present invention, when editing video data, it is possible to easily and accurately search for a target video portion, select necessary video and unnecessary video, and connect necessary video together. This makes video editing easy.

(Outline of video editing method)
By using this video editing apparatus, the video editing method of the present invention can be implemented. In the following description, only video cut editing will be described for simplicity.

  First, as shown in FIG. 1, in step S101, video data and shooting position information are read from the input / output terminal 14 as described above. However, the video data and shooting position information may be stored in advance in the data storage device 16 before the video editing apparatus is activated. At this time, when the video camera 3 and the GPS terminal 4 are separated as shown in FIG. 2, a video signal with a time stamp (video data) and position information with a time stamp (shooting position information). Are entered separately. The GPS terminal 4 is carried by the photographer at the time of photographing, and records position information along with the time regardless of photographing.

  FIG. 5A is a diagram schematically showing a format of position information with a time stamp, and FIG. 5B is a diagram schematically showing a format of a video signal with a time stamp. As shown in FIG. 5A, in the recording data string 400 of shooting position information, data 401 in which a time stamp indicating time and position information based on latitude and longitude are set is stored in time series. As shown in FIG. 5B, the video data 500 contains a video signal 501 and a time stamp 502 corresponding to each frame as a set.

  By searching for the same or nearby time from the time stamps shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, it is possible to specify the location where the video was shot. As an example, FIG. 6 shows a schematic diagram in which the video signal, time stamp, and position information in FIGS. 5A and 5B are reconfigured as one format. The video data 600 with position information in FIG. 6 includes a video signal 501 and data 601 in which a time stamp and position information are set. In this case, each frame of video data and shooting position information are stored. The video editing apparatus is read in the state of being already associated.

  FIG. 7 shows a display screen 900 which is a GUI of the video editing apparatus according to the present embodiment. The operation in step S <b> 101 in FIG. 1 is performed by an “Open” button 913.

  Next, when the video signal to be edited is read, the process proceeds to step S102 in FIG. 1, and a locus expressing the shooting location and shooting time is displayed on the map. As an example, FIG. 9A is a general two-dimensional map based on a satellite photograph from above, and FIG. 9B is a bird's-eye view expressing it three-dimensionally. Here, a movement locus 703 that has moved from the shooting start point 701 to the shooting end point 702 is displayed on the map 700. However, since the moving speed at the time of shooting is not constant but varies, the number of frames being shot (shooting time length) is generally different depending on the location on the movement locus 703.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to express the difference in the number of frames taken for each place, a bar graph as shown in FIG. 9B is arranged on the movement locus. The length of the bar graph is proportional to the number of frames to be captured, and the bar graph is displayed such that the longer the time it is stopped and shooting at the same position, the longer the bar graph. The map image generated in this way is displayed as a shooting position display screen 901 (3D display screen or 2D display screen) in the display screen 900 of the video editing apparatus as shown in FIG.

  The display screen 900 of FIG. 7 includes a time line 908 and a cursor 909 for designating a position on the time line as in the conventional case, and a time scale 907 is displayed to know the time position in the video. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, a cursor 915 indicating the same video signal position as the cursor 909 is also displayed on the photographing position display screen 901 for performing route tracking editing according to the present invention. In the shooting position display screen 901 showing the shooting position, when there is a movement of the photographer but no shooting is performed, there is no video corresponding to the position information, and therefore there is a movement as indicated by a broken line 906. A trajectory indicating only is displayed. The cursor 909 and the cursor 915 move in conjunction with each other. When one of the cursors 909 and 915 is dragged and moved by the mouse, the other moves following it and always points to the same video position.

  The video at the positions indicated by the cursor 909 and the cursor 915 is displayed in the video display frame 902, and when the cursor is dragged with the mouse, the display video is updated accordingly. Further, by moving a cursor 903 that moves on a concentric circle, the map image displayed on the shooting position display screen 901 is rotated and used to check the locus of the shooting position from various directions. Further, it is used to change the magnification of the map image displayed on the shooting position display screen 901 by sliding the cursor 904. A scale 905 displayed beside the cursor 904 is an indicator displaying a magnification.

  Next, proceeding to step S103 shown in FIG. 1, the cursor 915 in FIG. 7 is moved to the start point of the scene to be cut (deleted), and the start point button 910 is pressed to determine the cut start point. At this time, simultaneously with the operation of the cursor 915, the cursor 909 on the timeline 908 also follows, and the start point marker 1000 is displayed as the cut start point as shown in FIG.

  Here, the bar graph displayed on the shooting position display screen 901 will be described. For the sake of explanation, symbols A to N are attached to the positions of the bar graph displayed on the map 700 as shown in FIG. In the present embodiment, this FIG. 9B can be switched to a 2D display as shown in FIG. In FIG. 10, the bar graph of the positions A to N shows the relationship between the shooting time and the continuous shooting position. This bar graph expresses the length of time taken at the same position, and is expressed so that time elapses from bottom to top. However, it is assumed that continuous position information is discretized at an appropriate interval in order to represent the shooting time with a bar graph.

  Further, when shooting is performed again after returning to the same shooting position once passed, two bar graphs 1200 and 1202 are displayed with an interval 1201 as in the position H. For example, after shooting at the position H, moving to the position I and shooting, returning to the position H again and shooting, a bar graph as shown in FIGS. 10 and 12 is obtained. This state may be expressed by a broken line 1300 as shown in FIG. 11, for example. In FIG. 11, time passes in the direction of the arrow shown in the middle of the broken line 1300.

  Next, the process proceeds to step S104 in FIG. 1, and the cursor 1400 is moved to the position of the cut end point by the mouse as shown in FIG. In conjunction with this, the cursor 909 on the timeline also moves. After moving the cursor to the position of the cut end point, the end point button 911 in FIG. 13 is pressed to determine the cut end point. Accordingly, the end point marker 1401 is displayed as the cut end point on the timeline of FIG. 13, and the section between the start point marker 1000 and the end point marker 1401 changes color to clearly indicate the cut range.

  When this state is switched to 2D display and shown as a bar graph, it is as shown in FIG. In FIG. 14, the section of the line 1500 is a cut section, and a part 1501 of the bar graph at position E, a part 1502 of the bar chart at position H, and the bar chart 1503 remain uncut. When the cut range is determined, by pressing the cut button 912 in the state shown in FIG. 13, the image of the section of the line 1500 in FIG. 14 is cut, and as shown in FIG. And the bar graph 1503 and the bar graph before and after the cut range are left.

  As a result, the process proceeds to step S105 in FIG. 1, and a bar graph similar to that in FIG. 15 is displayed on the photographing position display screen 901 shown in FIG. 16, and updated to the state after being cut. A cursor 1700 in FIG. 16 is a new cursor for the image after being cut, and is used when the next cutting operation is performed. Further, the position of the broken line 1701 is displayed because the video originally existed but the video was completely lost due to the cut.

  Next, the process proceeds to judgment S106 in FIG. 1, and if there is a video to be cut, the process returns to step S103 to repeat the cutting operation. If there is no other cut operation, the process advances from step S106 to step S107, and the image after the cut edit is saved in the data storage device 16 of FIG.

  In the present embodiment, an example of cut editing using a single track has been described. However, it is also possible to easily expand to a multitrack that switches a plurality of video signals. In addition, since a timeline is provided in the same manner as in the prior art, editing using the timeline is also possible.

  Further, in the map 700 illustrated in the present embodiment, the case where the terrain is flat is taken as an example. However, for example, an elevation difference or the like can be expressed three-dimensionally. In this case, the bottom position (base point) of the bar graph in 3D display or 2D display is made to match the three-dimensional elevation, the bar graph is arranged, and the shooting time length and the time series of the shooting time are determined from the base point of each bar graph. It is expressed by the length in the height direction.

(Action / Effect)
According to the present embodiment described above, the movement trajectory 703 along the shooting order is displayed on the map 700, and the shooting time length at each point is displayed on the movement trajectory 703 as a bar graph. Depending on the shooting location and the length of the shooting time, you can know the importance of the shooting contents, such as where the shooting time is concentrated is the place where the shooting was more important, and if you remember the shooting location, You can remember the shooting contents at that place. For this reason, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to easily find a target video as an editing point by designating a shooting location from the trajectory displayed on the map.

  As a result, according to the present embodiment, the shooting location is presented in a visually easy-to-understand manner, so that it is easy to recall the shooting content, and the work of confirming the image content in detail is greatly reduced. can get. Further, according to this embodiment, when editing video data, it is possible to easily and accurately search for a target video portion, select necessary video and unnecessary video, and connect necessary video.
