Description

  The present invention relates to a technical field of a camera apparatus that includes an imaging unit and an image display unit that displays a captured image.

  When communicating with a remote location using a video conference system, two devices are installed at each location: a video conference camera device that captures images on the sending side and a large monitor device that displays images from remote locations. Has been. The user at each point proceeds with the conference while looking at the large monitor device installed at each point.

  Here, since the speaker does not look at the video conference camera device, the front image of the speaker is not displayed on the large monitor device at a remote place. In particular, in the case of an interactive format, there is a case where the eyes of each speaker do not match and the user feels uncomfortable. A number of methods have been devised to match the line of sight of each other's speakers for wearing.

  The most reliable method is to install a simple monitor unit for image confirmation in the video conference camera device. By installing such a simple monitor unit, the speaker speaks while looking at the simple monitor unit of the video conference camera device, not the direction of the large monitor device, and is photographed by the video conference camera device. As a result, a front image of the speaker can be easily taken. As described above, there is a demand for a video conference camera device including a simple monitor unit for image confirmation.

  In recent video conferencing camera devices, the lens portion has become larger in order to improve the image quality, such as the sharpness of captured images. On the other hand, video conferencing camera devices are being reduced in size and weight so that they can be easily carried and installed anywhere.

  In particular, when the lens unit is moved instantaneously for a person tracking shooting function or a change of speaker, vibration blur may occur in the video conference camera device due to a reaction caused by inertia (moment of inertia) of the lens unit. This vibration blur is subsided in a short time, but has a considerable adverse effect on focusing after the lens unit is moved. In video conferencing systems in particular, there are many round table-like conferences, and vibration blurring during horizontal pan rotation (horizontal rotation) has become noticeable.

When a method for increasing the weight of the entire video conferencing camera device to prevent vibration blurring or a method for making it possible to fix and install the video conference camera device firmly, it is difficult to reduce the size and weight of the video conference camera device. Moreover, the portability which enables the frequent change of an installation position is impaired and operativity becomes very bad.
In addition, in order to cancel the reaction caused by the inertia of the lens unit, a prior example (see Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2) provided with a dedicated balancing weight and means for moving the balancing weight has been proposed. . However, in this case as well, it is difficult to reduce the size and weight of the video conference camera device.

  Further, there is a method of providing an optical or electronic vibration preventing means used in a video camera or the like. The vibration shake of the video conferencing camera device is small compared to the vibration shake caused by the operator's hand holding the video camera etc., depending on the installation state and usage situation of the device, but it is expensive and large using complicated mechanism means. There is no need to make it.

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a camera device that achieves high image quality of a captured image and effectively realizes reduction in size and weight.

  The camera device of the present invention integrally includes a photographing means and a display means for displaying an image, and controls the driving means for rotating the photographing means and the display means independently of each other and the operation of each of the driving means. A camera device comprising a control means, comprising: a vibration blur detection means for detecting vibration blur of the photographing means, and the display based on a detection result of the vibration blur detection means when the photographing means rotates. The means is controlled to perform a canceling operation in a direction in which the vibration blur is canceled.

  In the camera device according to the present invention, vibration blur due to a reaction caused by inertia when the lens unit is moved instantaneously can be prevented without increasing the weight of the entire device and without being firmly fixed and installed. In video conferences, portability is maintained and operability is good when the installation position is frequently changed.

  Further, since the reaction caused by the inertia of the lens unit is canceled, vibration blurring can be prevented without providing a dedicated balance weight and balance weight moving means. Furthermore, vibration blur can be prevented without providing optical or electronic vibration blur prevention means employed in video cameras and the like. Further, even in a situation where the monitor unit is moved instantaneously, vibration blur due to reaction caused by inertia of the monitor unit can be prevented.

The reset button 19 is used to recover when the lens unit 13 and the monitor unit 16 rotate and move in the vertical direction (tilt direction) and the horizontal direction (pan direction), respectively, and the relative positional relationship between them is confused. Used. For the operator, the reset button 19 also serves to determine the absolute positions of the lens unit 13 and the monitor unit 16 with respect to the front surface of the pedestal unit 12.

  In the above case, the pedestal 12 is equipped with a sound collecting microphone and a speaker (not shown). Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the fixed base 12 is provided with a control unit 1 having a lens unit 13 and a monitor unit 16 and a CPU 2 (central processing unit) as control means for controlling the operation of each rotation drive system. Yes. That is, under the control of the CPU 2, as described above, the photographing unit and the display unit perform pan and tilt operations independently of each other, and thereby the directivity directions of both are set and controlled.

  Furthermore, the video conference camera device 11 includes a vibration blur detection unit 3 having a blur detection sensor as a vibration blur detection unit, and a human body detection unit 4 having a human body detection sensor as a human body detection unit. Further, a position detection unit 5 having a position detection sensor as position detection means for detecting the rotation position of the lens unit 13 and the monitor unit 16 is provided. Output signals from these sensors are sent to the control unit 1.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a partial cross section of the video conference camera apparatus of the present embodiment. Reference numeral 21 denotes a lens unit blur detection sensor that is built in the lens unit tilt base 14 and is provided in the vicinity of the lens unit 13 and serves as a vibration blur detection unit that detects vibration blur generated in the lens unit 13.

Similarly, the monitor unit shake detection sensor 22 is a sensor that moves integrally with the monitor unit 16 and can detect vibration shakes three-dimensionally.

  Reference numeral 23 denotes a lens unit pan motor fixedly provided at a predetermined position of the pedestal unit 12 and serving as driving means for rotating the lens unit pan table 15 in the pan direction. The lens unit pan motor 23 has a gear 25 attached to the tip of the output shaft. The gear 25 meshes with an internal gear 26 provided on the entire inner periphery of the lens unit pan table 15, and thereby rotates the output shaft of the lens unit pan motor 23 in the normal direction or the reverse direction. 15 can be rotated in the pan direction.

  A monitor unit pan motor 24 is fixedly provided at a predetermined position of the pedestal unit 12 and serves as driving means for rotating the monitor unit pan table 18 in the pan direction. Similarly, the monitor pan motor 24 has a gear 27 attached to the tip of its output shaft and meshes with an internal gear 28 provided on the entire inner periphery of the monitor pan base 18. Then, by rotating the output shaft of the monitor pan motor 24 forward or backward, the monitor pan base 18 can be rotated in the pan direction.

Although not shown, the lens unit tilt motor is provided in the lens unit pan table 15 as driving means for rotating the lens unit tilt table 14 in the tilt direction. Therefore, the lens unit tilt motor is configured integrally with the lens unit pan base 15 and rotates in the pan direction.
Similarly, the monitor tilt motor is provided in the monitor pan base 18 as a driving unit for rotating the monitor tilt base 17 in the tilt direction. Therefore, similarly, the tilt motor for the monitor unit is integrated with the pan unit 18 for the monitor unit and is configured to rotate and move in the pan direction.

  Furthermore, a position detection sensor is provided as position detection means for detecting the pan direction position and the tilt direction position of the lens unit 13 and the pan direction position and the tilt direction position of the monitor unit 16, respectively. Each position detection sensor has the same configuration as each of the motors described above.

  Position detection sensors for detecting the positions of the lens unit pan base 15 and the monitor unit pan base 18 in the respective pan rotation directions are fixedly provided at predetermined positions of the base unit 12. The position detection sensor for detecting the position of the lens unit tilt base 14 in the tilt rotation direction is provided on the lens unit pan base 15, and the position detection sensor for detecting the position of the monitor unit tilt base 17 in the tilt rotation direction is: It is provided on the pan unit 18 for the monitor unit. Based on the detection results of these position detection sensors, the CPU 2 as the control unit determines the directivity directions of the lens unit 13 and the monitor unit 16 with respect to the pedestal unit 12 and relative positions thereof.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating that the video conference camera device according to the present embodiment is suitable for a speaker. In order to make the explanation easy to understand, the video conferencing camera device 11 has a basic position (home position position) in which the orientation of the lens unit 13 and the monitor unit 16 coincides with the front surface of the pedestal unit 12 having the reset button 19. . Referring to FIG. 1, the participant 101 as a speaker is talking on the lens unit 13 while confirming an image on the monitor unit 16 of the video conference camera device 11.

  When the shooting direction is changed from this state, the lens unit 13 is rotated and moved in the pan direction and the tilt direction, respectively. In particular, when the movement is started and stopped, vibration blur occurs in the lens unit 13 due to the reaction of the total inertia of the lens unit 13, the lens unit tilt base 14, and the lens unit pan base 15. In the following description, this is described as inertia of the lens unit 13.

The operation direction of the lens unit 13 is two directions of pan rotation (yawing) and tilt rotation (pitching). However, since the actual vibration blur is three-dimensional and somewhat complicated, the lens unit blur detection sensor 21 has a third order. A sensor that originally detects vibration blur is desirable.
Further, since the image on the monitor unit 16 is displayed as a vibration shake in a planar shape, it vibrates in two dimensions in two axial directions (X-axis direction and Y-axis direction) perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens unit 13. A sensor that detects blurring may be sufficient.
Furthermore, in a video conference system, the frequency of movement in the pan rotation direction is high because of a round table-like conference, and a sensor that detects vibration blur in a one-dimensional manner may be sufficient depending on use conditions.
Note that the vibration blur appearing in the image on the monitor unit 16 is larger in the telephoto shooting than in the wide-angle shooting.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating that the video conference camera device according to the present embodiment switches to the next speaker. The case where the speaker is the participant 101 and the next speaker is switched to the participant 102 (see FIG. 1) from here is shown.
The video conference camera device 11 senses the voice spoken by the speaker 102 with the sound collecting microphone of the pedestal unit 12 and instantaneously changes the shooting direction of the lens unit 13 for shooting. At that time, the lens unit pan base 15 rotates to the right in the pan direction (in the direction of the arrow PL-R) at high speed and changes the direction to the speaker 102 located on the right side of the participant 101.

  The lens blur detection sensor 21 detects vibration blur caused by the reaction of the inertia of the lens unit 13 that occurs at this time. The vibration shake detection information includes the magnitude and direction of vibration shake and the time of occurrence, etc .. Based on these detection information, a method for canceling vibration shake with the most effective operation is used as a control means. CPU determines.

  Here, due to the weight of the monitor unit 16 and the monitor tilt unit 17 and the like, the center of gravity of the portion rotating in the pan direction integrally with the monitor pan base 18 is shifted from the pan rotation center. This can be thought of as a large version of a vibration generating motor equipped with a fan-shaped member as an eccentric weight. The CPU 2 as the control means instantaneously reverses the monitor unit pan base 18 to the left in the pan direction (in the direction of the arrow PM-L) in the direction opposite to the lens unit pan base 15, thereby rotating and moving them individually. The vibration of the lens unit 13 is canceled by generating phase vibration.

  With this canceling processing operation, vibration blur can be prevented to a minimum when an image is taken by the lens unit 13. Even if a slight vibration blur occurs, the attenuation is quick and there is little influence on focusing and the like. Even if it is a short time of this series of operations, if an image taken during that time flows and is difficult to see, the image taken immediately before the lens unit 13 moves is displayed on the monitor unit 16 as a still image. Then, a period during which the captured image can be displayed after the lens unit 13 is newly moved, that is, after the cancellation processing operation is completed, is compensated. This image display method is effective for the monitor unit 16 of the video conference television apparatus 11 and the large monitor apparatus 31B which are remote from the own point.

  The CPU 2 determines that the detection level of the vibration blur of the lens unit 13 is below the predetermined level range that is satisfactory for the shooting state, that is, acceptable for image shooting, by the shooting state and the lens unit blur detection sensor 21. In this case, this series of canceling processing operations is not performed. In addition, even when the participant previously selects to set the moving rotation speed of the lens unit 13 to be slow, this canceling processing operation is not performed. Note that the CPU 2 always holds the relative position between the monitor unit 13 and the monitor unit 16 and the absolute position with respect to the pedestal unit 12 by each position detection sensor.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing that the video conference camera device of the present embodiment is suitable for the next speaker. After the current speaker 102 resumes shooting by the lens unit 13, the video conference camera device 11 slowly rotates the pan unit 18 for the monitor unit to the right in the pan direction (arrow PM-R direction) The monitor unit 16 is directed toward the speaker 102. At this time, the CPU 2 controls the rotational operation speed so as to keep the detection level below a predetermined range while detecting the vibration blur from both the lens blur detection sensor 21 and the monitor blur detection sensor 22 to prevent the vibration blur. Make sure that shooting is not affected.

It has been described that the shooting direction is changed by changing the speaker, but the same effect can be obtained when a tracking function is set for the movement operation of a person when one speaker 101 walks and moves. .
In addition, when a simple video conference is performed using only the video conference camera device 11 without using the large monitor device 31, the monitor unit 16 may be instantaneously moved to check who is speaking at a remote location. is there. In this case, the same operation control as the photographing direction change by the lens unit 13 may be performed. The vibration blur of the monitor unit 16 is detected by the monitor unit blur detection sensor 22, and the vibration control of the monitor unit 16 is prevented by a series of canceling processing operations using the lens unit pan table 15 as a vibration source by the operation control of the CPU 2. To do. Thereafter, the shooting direction of the lens unit 13 is adjusted.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing that the video conference camera apparatus of the present embodiment operates in the vertical direction. The case where the lens unit 13 follows the movement in the tilt direction in which the current speaker 102 stands from the standing state by the person tracking function is shown.
In this case, the lens unit tilt base 14 rotates downward in the tilt direction (in the direction of the arrow TL-D) and changes the direction to the position where the speaker 102 is seated. At this time, the same operation control is performed. The vibration blur due to the reaction of the inertia of the lens unit 13 is detected by the lens unit blur detection sensor 21. Based on this detection information, the CPU 2 as the control means determines a method of canceling the vibration blur with the most effective operation.

  The CPU 2 rotates the monitor tilt table 17 in the direction opposite to the lens tilt table 14 and rotates the monitor tilt table 17 upward (in the direction of the arrow TM-U), thereby generating antiphase vibrations and vibrations of the lens unit 13. Offset the blur. With this canceling processing operation, vibration blur can be prevented to a minimum when an image is taken by the lens unit 13. Thereafter, the monitor tilt base 17 is slowly returned to the tilt direction, and the monitor 16 is directed toward the speaker 102 who is seated.

  Here, the cancellation processing operation in the tilt rotation direction is most effective when the relative position between the monitor unit 16 and the lens unit 13 is around 0 ° and around 180 °. However, since the lens unit pan base 15 does not move at angles other than these, the inertia of the lens unit pan base 15 is small, and the vibration blur of the lens unit 13 is originally less than that in the pan rotation direction, so that it is not much for shooting. There is no effect. The CPU 2 determines when the relative positions of the monitor unit 13 and the monitor unit 16 by the respective position detection sensors and the detection level of vibration blur of the lens unit 13 by the lens unit blur detection sensor 21 are within a predetermined range or less effective. At this time, this series of cancellation processing operations is not performed.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart of the operation showing the operation process of the present embodiment. As described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 7, the flow of vibration blur in the video conference camera device due to the reaction caused by the inertia (moment of inertia) of the lens unit 13 is a flowchart of the operation for preventing vibration blur by a series of cancellation processing operations. Represent as

  First, the conference participant selects a function for automatically changing the shooting direction, such as a person tracking function, in setting the video conference camera device (step S1). When the selection is not made, the photographed image is displayed on a large monitor device or the like without being processed (step S2).

  Whether or not vibration blur of the lens unit 13 occurs is detected by a lens unit blur detection sensor (step S3). The CPU 2 determines whether or not the detection result is equal to or less than a predetermined range that has no problem with the shooting situation (step S3). Further, the relative position between the monitor unit and the monitor unit by each position detection sensor is detected, and the CPU determines whether or not the cancellation processing operation is valid from the detection result (step S5 and step S6).

  When these conditions are satisfied, the CPU 2 analyzes based on the detection information and controls the operation (step S7). The most effective operation is selected by the CPU 2 and a vibration blur canceling processing operation is performed. During this operation, an image taken immediately before the movement of the lens unit 13 is displayed as a still image on the monitor unit 16 (at a remote point) or the like, and the image of the lens unit 13 being moved is supplemented. After the lens unit 13 has moved, an image taken anew is displayed on the monitor unit 16 (at a remote point) (step S8).

  Next, after the photographing is resumed by the lens unit 13 (step S9), the monitor unit 16 is moved in a predetermined direction so that the vibration blur detection level is kept below a predetermined range (step S10).

  As described above, according to the present invention, the vibration blur due to the reaction caused by the inertia when the lens unit 13 is instantaneously moved is generated without increasing the weight of the entire camera device and without being firmly fixed. This can be prevented accurately. In video conferences, portability is maintained and operability is good when the installation position is frequently changed.

  Further, since the reaction caused by the inertia of the lens unit 13 is canceled, vibration blur can be prevented without providing a dedicated balance weight and balance weight moving means, and vibration blur can be effectively prevented with a compact configuration.
