  The model image data is image data of a photograph taken by another cameraman or the like.

  Hereinafter, communication and processing exchanged between the camera 1 configured as described above and the web server 2 will be described.

  FIG. 2A is a diagram showing an operation flowchart of the characteristic part according to the present embodiment in the control program stored in the ROM 104 executed by the CPU 115 of the camera 1, and FIG. It is a figure which shows the operation | movement flowchart of the characteristic part which concerns on this embodiment among the control programs memorize | stored in ROM201 which the control part 209 performs.

  That is, when photographing is performed with the camera 1 (step S101), the obtained image data is stored as temporary storage data on the RAM 105 and stored in the storage unit 106 (step S102). Then, the position data at the time of shooting is acquired by the position information acquisition unit 114, and the image data and the position data are transmitted to the access point 3 managed by a predetermined provider set in advance via the communication unit 112. (Step S103). At this time, in order to reduce the communication amount, the image data may be transmitted in a compressed format instead of the RAW data. After this transmission, the camera 1 waits for reception (step S104). However, when there is no reception within a predetermined time, this operation is terminated, and a normal camera operation such as normal shooting or display of captured image data is started.

  When the data transmitted from the camera 1 is received by the access point 3, the image data and the position data are transferred to the server (web server 2) connected to the network 4 such as the Internet by the router function inside the access point 3. Delivered.

  When the web server 2 receives the image data and the position data (step S201), the feature point detection unit 207A of the image processing unit 207 performs binarization and contour extraction on the image data received from the camera 1. Processing is performed to detect a feature point pattern of the image (step S202). In other words, the received image data is converted into black and white, a corner detection filter is applied to perform determination processing, and the corner position of each part constituting the image is obtained as a feature point. These feature point patterns, that is, the arrangement and distribution of the feature points become the features of the image.

  Then, the feature point comparison unit 207B compares the feature point pattern of the image data extracted by the feature point detection unit 207A with the feature point pattern of the sample image data group stored in the database of the storage unit 203 in advance. Then, a database search is performed using the extracted feature point pattern as a search key (step S203). For example, in the model image data taken at a famous tourist spot, the arrangement information of the feature points (consisting of several hundred points) is extracted in advance as a feature point pattern and configured in the storage unit 203 of the web server 2. Registered in the database. For buildings and the like that change depending on the viewing angle, a plurality of sets of feature point patterns are stored in a database for each viewing angle. Therefore, the feature point pattern is extracted from the captured image data by the same method, the database registered in advance is collated, and the object with the highest matching degree is selected to recognize what the object is. I can do it. At this time, the probability of misrecognition can be reduced by narrowing the model image data to be compared around the position based on the position data received from the camera 1.

  Of course, the present invention is not limited to such a method of detecting feature points and recognizing an object by pattern matching, but adopts other image recognition methods such as a statistical identification method and a structure identification method. It doesn't matter. These statistical identification methods and structure identification methods are well known, and therefore their explanation is omitted.

  As described above, the feature point detection unit 207A and the feature point comparison unit 207B function as a first model image search unit that searches for model image data similar to captured image data.

  If model image data having a feature point pattern that matches the feature point pattern of the extracted image data is not found (step S204), list = 0 is set in camera 1 via communication unit 205. Transmit (step S205). Thereafter, the process returns to step S201 and waits for the next image data and position data to be sent.

  When there is reception on the camera 1 side (step S104), it is determined whether or not the above list = 0 is received (step S105). When such a list = 0 is received, the CPU 115 displays a message such as “Please change the composition and take a picture again” or “Shoot with another composition” on the display unit 108 (step S1). S106), the process returns to step S101.

  On the other hand, when there is model image data having a feature point pattern that matches the feature point pattern of the extracted image data in the web server 2 (step S204), the image keyword extraction unit 208A Image keywords (for example, Tokyo Tower) registered in association with the model image data are respectively extracted from the storage unit 203, and the extracted image keywords are temporarily configured in the RAM 202 by the image keyword list generation unit 208B. Is added to the image keyword list to be executed (step S206). Here, since the search target is narrowed down based on the position data received from the camera 1, it is unlikely that different image keywords will be extracted. However, if different image keywords are extracted, the images in the image keyword list will be displayed. It can be determined that the image keyword extracted most among the keywords is appropriate as the image keyword of the image data received from the camera 1.

  Next, the control unit 209 causes the user name list generation unit 208C to use the associated keywords (shooting position, shooting time, user name (photographer name), etc.) associated with each of the sample image data from the storage unit 203. User names are extracted, and a user name list in which the extracted user names are listed is generated on the RAM 105 (step S207). As described above, the user name list generation unit 208C and the control unit 209 function as a photographer information acquisition unit that acquires the photographer information of the model image data. Then, the control unit 209 transmits the generated user name list together with the extracted image keyword to the camera 1 via the communication unit 205 (step S208). After this transmission, the web server 2 waits for a user name selection (step S209). However, when the selected user name is not received within the predetermined time, the process returns to step S201 and waits for the next image data and position data to be sent.

  On the camera 1 side, if there is a reception as described above (step S104), it is determined whether or not list = 0 has been received (step S105). Then, it is determined whether or not the user name list has been received (step S107). If the user name list has not been received, that is, only the image keyword has been received, the CPU 115 displays “no list” on the display unit 108 (step S108), and ends this operation.

  On the other hand, when the user name list is received, the user name list is displayed on the display unit 108 such as an LCD (step S109). The user of the camera 1 operates the input unit 103, for example, the cross button and the OK button, and selects a desired user name from the user name list (step S110), and the CPU 115 transmits the selected user name to the communication unit. It transmits to the web server 2 via 112 (step S111). After this transmission, the camera 1 waits for reception of guidance data relating to the selected user (step S112), and ends this operation when there is no reception within a predetermined time.

  On the web server 2 side, when the selected user name is received (step S209), the control unit 209 associates the extracted user keyword with the selected user name as accompanying data. The main image data is searched and extracted from the storage unit 203 by the image search unit 207C, and the extracted model image data is sorted in the order of shooting time according to the shooting time attached to them as an accompanying keyword (step S210). That is, the image search unit 207C functions as a second model image search unit, and the control unit 209 functions as a model image shooting position acquisition unit. Next, the control unit 209 associates the shooting position associated with the sorted model image data as an associated keyword with the map information stored in the storage unit 203 (step S211). The map information is searched for a route that follows the shooting position of the model image data in order of shooting time, image data (guidance data) in which an image representing the route is superimposed is generated, and the camera is connected via the communication unit 205. 1 (step S212). Thereafter, the process returns to step S201 and waits for the next image data and position data to be sent.

  When such guidance data is received on the camera 1 side (step S112), the guidance data is expanded and a time-ordered route of the model image taken by the selected user is displayed on the display unit 108 such as an LCD. A map display is displayed (step S113).

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a display example of the map display on the display unit 108. This is because, on the map information, a subject position mark 501 that indicates the position of the subject, a shooting position mark 502 that indicates the shooting location where the selected user has shot the model image, and a route display 503 that indicates the movement path between these shooting locations. And a current position mark 504 indicating the current position of the user is superimposed.

  The map information is transmitted from the web server 2 as a part of the guidance data, but the map information in the camera 1 may be used. Further, when there is a margin in communication capacity, map information may be received from the web server 2, and when there is no margin in communication capacity, the map information in the camera 1 may be used.

  In addition, when using map information in the camera 1, the guide data is not transmitted from the web server 2 to the camera 1, but only the sorting result in the above step S210 is transmitted to the camera 1, and the camera 1 side Association with map information and route search may be performed. Further, the received sorting result may be displayed on the display unit 108.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a display example of the sorting result. This is a list format of a user name 505 indicating a selected user name, an image keyword 506 indicating a subject name (eg, Tokyo Tower), and a position 507 and a time 508 associated with each sample image data matching the image keyword. It consists of the description. A position 507 is expressed in latitude and longitude. For example, “N: 35/1, 41/1, 774/100 E: 139/1, 48/1, 774, 100” is 35 degrees 41 minutes 7.74 seconds north latitude, 139 degrees 48 minutes 7.74 seconds east longitude. Indicates. This is merely an example, and it is needless to say that any format such as an address or a common name of the place may be used.

  Further, the guide data may include model image data at each photographing location. That is, each sample image data is converted into a thumbnail image by the compression / decompression unit 207D in the web server 2 and then superimposed on the map information. Alternatively, when map information in the camera 1 is used, the web server 2 transmits each thumbnail image in association with the sorting result, and the camera 1 side superimposes each thumbnail image on the map information. The sizes of these thumbnail images may be determined in advance, or the display size of the display unit 108 of the camera 1 is determined according to the photographing device information described as the header information of the image data received in step S201. Depending on the size, an appropriate image size may be selected.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a map display including such model image data. A model image 509 converted into a thumbnail corresponding to each shooting position mark 502 is displayed.

  Note that the example image 509 may be selected and enlarged to the size of the display unit 108 by operating the input unit 103. In this case, the model image data corresponding to the size of the display unit 108 is downloaded to the web server 2 and displayed, or the received thumbnail image is enlarged and displayed. The main image data may not be stored in the storage unit 106 of the camera 1 or may be stored only after some charge is made.

  Furthermore, when displaying the map information, the current position mark 504 can be changed and displayed in real time according to the position data acquired by the position information acquisition unit 114 of the camera 1.

  Further, when shooting is performed at the shooting location where the shooting position mark 502 is displayed, it is determined from the current position data of the camera 1 and position information of each shooting location that the shooting location has already been shot, and the display unit 108. It may be displayed with an icon or the like that the image has been taken.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a display example when a check mark 510 indicating that such a photograph has been taken is displayed.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, when a user who goes to a sightseeing spot wants to shoot a scene viewed on a guidebook, a poster, a television, etc., he / she guides where to start shooting. The user can take a satisfactory picture.

  For example, Mt. Fuji, Tokyo Tower, etc. have points that are photographed by professional and high amateur photographers particularly well. However, normally, only the image taken by the cameraman from such a point is burned into the user's eyes as a medium, so even if the user who went out with the camera 1 goes to the tourist spot, it is the same If you can't shoot the landscape, you can't be satisfied. Also, since there are multiple such points, there are many people who do not know how to move and shoot.

  The present embodiment can provide a system that allows a user to enjoy shooting trips and shooting hikes while efficiently moving a plurality of places by simply bringing the camera 1 to such a user.

  For example, a certain photographer or a celebrity is associated with an image taken by the photographer, and the web server 2 also has information on the order and route that the photographer has moved. In this way, it is assumed that the user enjoys shooting while moving. Thus, the user can enjoy shooting and moving efficiently without overlooking the shooting spot without making a detailed plan.

  Also, even though it was very close, it often happened that people didn't realize the shooting point and were disappointed to know it when they came home. However, this problem can be solved.

  Furthermore, since a model image at each shooting point can also be displayed, it is possible to shoot with the same composition as the model image, and the user can take a satisfactory picture.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 7A is a diagram showing an operation flowchart of the characteristic part according to the second embodiment of the control program stored in the ROM 104 executed by the CPU 115 of the camera 1, and FIG. 7B is a control unit 209 of the web server 2. It is a figure which shows the operation | movement flowchart of the characteristic part which concerns on this 2nd Embodiment among the control programs memorize | stored in ROM201 performed. Here, the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 2A and 2B are attached to the same parts as those in the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

  That is, as described above, when the model image data having the feature point pattern that matches the feature point pattern of the extracted image data is not searched on the web server 2 side (step S204), the communication unit 205 is set. List = 0 is transmitted to the camera 1 (step S205), but in the second embodiment, after that, instead of returning to the above step S201, it waits for the reception of the image keyword (step S213). Only when there is no reception within the time, the process returns to step S201.

  On the camera 1 side, when such a list = 0 is received, in the second embodiment, by key input from the input unit 103 or by voice recognition using the MIC 110 and the voice control unit 111, The user can input a desired image keyword (step S114). Then, after the input image keyword is transmitted to the web server 2 via the communication unit 112 (step S115), the process returns to step S104 and waits for reception.

  When the image keyword is received on the web server 2 side (step S213), the model image data associated with the received image keyword is retrieved from the storage unit 203 (step S214). Then, the process after step S207 is executed to extract the user name from the associated keyword associated with each retrieved model image data and generate a user name list.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, when an image keyword is not searched, the image keyword is input on the camera 1 side and transmitted to the web server 2 to correspond to the user name desired by the user. A model image and its shooting position can be acquired.

  The web server 2 may additionally register the input image keyword in the database of the storage unit 203 in association with the transmitted captured image data. In this case, the captured image is not a model image, but is registered as user image data used only for image keyword extraction. By accumulating a large number of such user image data, the image keyword extraction accuracy can be improved.

  Although the present invention has been described above based on the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and applications are naturally possible within the scope of the gist of the present invention.

  For example, the camera 1 has been described as an example of the photographing apparatus, but a mobile phone with a camera may be used.

  Further, in the route search, a route that can go around each shooting point most efficiently may be searched regardless of the shooting order.
