Imaging device

The present invention relates to a shadow device Taking that to allow shooting at any angle while rotating put the item into turntable.

  In a conventional shopping site on the Internet, an image of a product to be sold is posted, and the product is sold by allowing the user to select the product. By the way, when placing an image of such a product on a shopping site, if the product is three-dimensional, it is preferable to photograph and publish the product from various directions.

  When shooting a product from such various directions, in general, place the product in a place where the background is not reflected, shoot a representative image such as a front image, and the angle of the product. When shooting with different colors, the product is replaced and the side and back images are taken from different directions.

  However, with such a method, when many products are posted on the site, it is necessary to shoot at different angles for each product, which takes time.

  For this reason, conventionally, a method of placing a product on a turntable and photographing the product while rotating the turntable has been proposed. (Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, etc.)

  However, even when the product is placed on such a turntable and an image of the product is taken, the following problem occurs.

  That is, when photographing an image of a product, it is preferable to remove shadows and backgrounds as much as possible. However, when the product is rotated, a shadow is reflected on the floor surface depending on the shape of the product. For this reason, every time the position of the shadow changes, it is necessary to change the position of the illumination so that the shadow is not reflected, and it takes time to change the position of the illumination.

  Moreover, in order to eliminate such a shadow, it is conceivable to irradiate light from various directions toward the center of the turntable. When light from the illumination arranged at is irradiated, a thin shadow is formed on the extending direction of the light.

The present invention aims at providing in the shadow device Taking that to be able to photograph the goods from various directions, a shadow device Taking that as can erase shadows and background as much as possible by using a turntable.

  That is, in order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention includes a turntable that rotates while a subject is placed, and a back member that is provided at the back of the turntable with respect to the camera that photographs the subject. The back material is curved so as to face the camera.

  In this way, when shooting from the front using illumination, a camera flash, etc., light can be emitted from the front side by the illumination, etc., and from the back side, the light can be emitted by a curved back material. Reflect to be able to erase as much shadow as possible. Moreover, the background image can be erased by the backing material.

  Moreover, in such an invention, the said back material is comprised with the rough surface material which has a light transmittance.

  In this way, when light is irradiated from the back of the back material, the light is uniformly diffused by the back material composed of the rough surface material, and the product is obtained by transmitting light to the product side in the diffused state. The shadow of can be erased.

  Furthermore, the said turntable can also be comprised with the rough surface material which has a light transmittance.

  In such a case, the shadow formed on the turntable by the light irradiated from the lower side of the rough surface material can be erased.

  According to the present invention, comprising: a turntable that rotates in a state where the subject is placed; and a back material that is provided in the back from the center of the turntable with respect to the camera that photographs the subject. Since the camera is curved toward the camera side, when shooting from the front using illumination, a camera flash, or the like, light can be emitted from the front side by the illumination. Further, from the back side, the light can be reflected by the curved back material, and the shadow can be erased as much as possible. Moreover, the background image can be erased by the backing material.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Shadow device 1 Taking that put in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a turntable 2 to rotate in a state of being placed on items 6, a base 3 for rotatably supporting the turntable 2, A back material 4 that curves toward the center of the turntable 2 at the back of the turntable 2 is configured. Hereinafter, a detailed description of the construction of the shadow device 1 Taking in this embodiment.

  First, the turntable 2 is configured in a disc shape on which a product 6 can be placed at the center. The turntable 2 can be formed of an opaque material that does not transmit any light, but in this embodiment, it is composed of, for example, a paper material, a plastic material, a glass material, etc. as a white translucent plate material. Furthermore, the surface is set to a rough state. When the surface is in a rough state as described above, when light is irradiated from the surface side, the light can be irregularly reflected, and the product 6 can be prevented from being shaded. Further, when the turntable 2 is made of a translucent material, when light is irradiated from the lower side of the turntable 2, the light can be uniformly diffused by the rough surface, and the diffused light can be transmitted. By this, it is possible to erase the shadow formed on the surface side. When irradiating such light, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, a lighting device 5 such as a small light bulb or LED is arranged below the turntable 2, and a plurality of diffusion plates (not shown) are provided. Is used to irradiate light from below the turntable 2. Here, as the light transmittance of the turntable 2, it is desirable to set the transmittance so that the lower base 3 and the like cannot be visually recognized from the surface side and the light from the lower side is transmitted. For example, the light transmittance as a whole from the lighting device 5 to the product 6 is set to 10% or less.

  The base 3 that rotatably supports the turntable 2 supports the central portion of the turntable 2 with a shaft member 31. When the product 6 is placed on the turntable 2 as appropriate, the turntable 2 Constructed by taking measures to prevent bending. As the base 3, for example, the turntable 2 can be rotatably supported by a motor or the like. However, when the cost is high, it can be manually rotated without providing a driving means. However, when rotating manually, it is necessary to fix the rotating table 2 at an arbitrary angle so that the image is taken. Therefore, the rotating table 2 is rotated at a constant cutting angle, or it is determined by using a stopper (not shown). The turntable 2 can be fixed at a rotation angle of.

  A holding portion 32 for holding the back material 4 is provided on the rear end side of the base 3 member. The holding portion 32 is configured to hold the back material 4 so as to be curved along the edge of the turntable 2. In this embodiment, the rear portion of the base 3 is extended from the turntable 2. A groove 33 is provided so that the back member 4 can be inserted in a curved state. In this embodiment, the holding portion 32 is constituted by the groove 33. However, the groove 33 is not provided in this way, but one end side of the base 3 member is extended from the turntable 2 and the outside thereof is provided. It is also possible to attach the backing material 4 in a curved state and fix it with a magnet or the like.

  The back member 4 held by the holding unit 32 is provided so as to bend toward the center side of the turntable 2. Like the turntable 2, a white translucent paper material or plastic is used. It is comprised with a raw material, a glass raw material, etc., and the surface is comprised in the rough state. And when standing up in the state where it curved so that the outer edge part of turntable 2 might be touched, and photographing goods 6 placed in the center of turntable 2, the gap between turntable 2 and back material 4 The background is not shown. In addition, although it is curving so that the outer edge part of the turntable 2 may be followed here, it is made to curve so that the curvature of the back material 4 may become larger than the turntable 2, and the turntable 2, the back material 4, and The gap may be filled with another translucent material.

Next, description thus constructed shooting using the shadow device 1 for.

  First, the product 6 posted on the site is placed on the center of the turntable 2 and the camera 7 is installed in front of it. Further, the lighting device 5 such as a light bulb or LED provided below the turntable 2 is turned on, and the lighting device 5 such as a light bulb, LED, or fluorescent light is also turned on behind the back material 4. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the light irradiated from these illuminating devices 5 permeate | transmits the turntable 2 and the back material 4, and permeate | transmits in the state diffused to the goods 6 side in the diffused state. At this time, the diffused light transmitted through the back material 4 is directed from the curved back material 4 side to the product 6 side, and, for example, the shadow of the back side region S1 of the product 6 caused by flash or the like irradiated from the camera 7 side. Can be erased. Further, the shadow formed in the area S2 on the front side of the product 6 by the light from the back material 4 of the product 6 can be erased by the flash of the camera 7 or the like. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, the light irradiated upward from the lower side of the turntable 2 is diffused by the turntable 2 so that the shadow generated on the turntable 2 can be erased. Become. At this time, since the back material 4 is provided, when the product 6 is photographed by the camera 7, the background is not reflected.

  As described above, according to the above-described embodiment, the turntable 2 that rotates with the subject placed thereon, and the back member 4 that is provided at the back from the center of the turntable 2 with respect to the camera 7 that captures the subject. Since the back material 4 is curved so as to be directed toward the camera 7 side, when photographing from the front side using illumination or a flash of the camera 7, light is emitted from the front side by the illumination or the like. While being able to irradiate, from the back side, light can be reflected by the curved back material 4 so that the shadow can be erased as much as possible. In addition, the background material 4 can be used to erase the background image.

  Further, if the back material 4 is composed of a light-transmitting rough surface material, when light is irradiated from behind the back material 4, the light is uniformly diffused by the back material 4 composed of the rough surface material, The shadow of the product 6 can be erased by transmitting light to the product 6 side in the diffused state.

  Furthermore, if the turntable 2 is also made of a light-transmitting rough surface material, the shadow formed on the turntable 2 can be erased by the light irradiated from the lower side of the rough surface material.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, It can implement in a various aspect.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the turntable 2 is made of a translucent material, but it may be made of an opaque material.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the back material 4 was hold | maintained at the base 3, about the back material 4, you may make it stand in the curved state uniquely, without making it hold | maintain at the base 3. .

Furthermore, in the said embodiment, although it comprised in the shape which cut | disconnected the cylindrical member vertically as the back material 4, it seems to provide the part which curves to the goods 6 side about the upper end part. It may be. In this way, the diffused light can be irradiated also on the upper side of the product 6, so that the shadow of the product 6 can be erased more.
In addition, in the above-described embodiment, a white translucent diffuser is used as the back material 4. However, when the product color is white, the turntable 2 and the back material 4 are removed and the black turntable is used. 2 and the back material 4 can be replaced. At this time, if the turntable 2 or the back material 4 is black, even if a shadow is formed, it can be absorbed by the turntable 2 or the back material 4, so it is not always necessary to use a translucent diffusion plate. Absent. In addition, when replacing the turntable 2 here, if it is troublesome to remove the turntable 2 from the shaft member 31, a cover of the same color system as the back material 4 may be placed on the turntable 2. Good.
