The sampling filter processing unit 81 stores the sensor detection value obtained by the A / D conversion in the register 74 in association with the angle information supplied from the angle information processing unit 73. As a result, the sensor 74 sequentially stores sensor detection values for each rotation angle of the rotating unit 22 as detection information for each sensor 54.

  The register 74 has a capacity of 360 bits (8 bits × 45) for each sensor 54, for example, and each angle (one angle is 8 °) when the entire circumference of the rotating unit 22 is divided into 45. 8 bits are assigned as a detection value. That is, if the value is 8-bit, 256 patterns from 0 to 255 can be represented.

  The wireless communication unit 42 receives the detection information transmitted from the wireless communication unit 72 by wireless communication and stores it in the register 43. Similarly to the register 74, the register 43 has a capacity of, for example, 720 bits in order to store sensor detection values as detection information for each sensor 54, and stores detection information for the entire circumference of the rotating unit 22. can do.

  The fixed unit control unit 36 controls each unit of the fixed unit 21. Moreover, the fixed part control part 36 has the conversion table 45 for converting a sensor detection value into distance information. That is, as described above, an 8-bit value is assigned to the sensor detection value and can represent 256 patterns from 0 to 255. For example, using the conversion table 45, for example, for each rotation angle of the rotation unit 22 Can be converted into distance information in the range of 0 to 255 mm. In other words, the detection position of the user's motion detected for each rotation angle of the rotation unit 22 can be represented by a value in the range of 0 to 255 mm, for example, by the distance information.

  The detection information converted into distance information by the conversion table 45 is supplied to the communication I / F 37.

Is transmitted to the image processing apparatus 12 via the USB cable 25.

  Further, the communication I / F 37 receives a transmission start request or a transmission stop request transmitted from the image processing apparatus 12 via the cable 25 and supplies the request to the fixed unit control unit 36.

In such a case, the detection by the sensor 54 may be stopped. That is, in the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11, detection information is transmitted to the image processing device 12 when a transmission start request is received, and transmission of detection information is stopped when a transmission stop request is received. The realization method is arbitrary.

  The omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 is configured as described above.

[Configuration example of image processing apparatus]

  The image processing apparatus 12 includes a control unit 101, an operation unit 102, an image acquisition unit 103, an image processing unit 104, a communication I / F 105, and a communication I / F 106.

  The control unit 101 controls the operation of each unit of the image processing apparatus 12.

  The operation unit 102 supplies an operation signal to the control unit 101 in response to a user operation. The control unit 101 controls the operation of each unit based on the operation signal supplied from the operation unit 102.

  The image acquisition unit 103 acquires stereoscopic image image data corresponding to a plurality of images with different viewpoints related to the subject in accordance with control from the control unit 101, and supplies them to the image processing unit 104.

  The image processing unit 104 performs predetermined image processing on the image data supplied from the image acquisition unit 103 to generate image data corresponding to an arbitrary stereoscopic image. The generated image data is supplied to the communication I / F 105.

  The communication I / F 105 is, for example, an HDMI output terminal, and the image data supplied from the image processing unit 104 by the communication conforming to the HDMI standard is transferred to the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device via the HDMI cable 24. 11 to send.

  The image processing device 12 is configured as described above.

[Detection information transmission / reception processing]
Next, details of the detection information transmission / reception process will be described with reference to FIG.

  As described above, in the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 and the image processing device 12, detection information is transmitted and received by communication conforming to the USB standard, for example. When starting reception of the detection information, the image processing device 12 transmits a transmission start request to the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11. This transmission start request includes arbitrary parameters. For example, it is possible to specify a sensor 54 that is a transmission target of detection information and a transmission interval of detection information.

  When the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 receives the transmission start request from the image processing device 12, the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 starts transmitting the detection information of the corresponding sensor 54 in accordance with the parameter included in the transmission start request. For example, when the sensor name that is the sensor 54-1 and the transmission interval of 1/30 seconds are designated as parameters, the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 displays the detection information of the sensor 54-1 as the transmission interval 1 It will continue to transmit in / 30 seconds. In this case, 360-bit (8 bits × 45) data is transmitted every 1/30 seconds as detection information of the sensor 54-1. For example, when sensors 54-1 and 54-2 are designated as sensor names, data of 720 bits (8 bits × 45 × 2) is transmitted at a predetermined transmission interval.

  Thereafter, when the reception of the detection information is stopped, the image processing device 12 transmits a transmission end request to the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11. This transmission end request also includes an arbitrary parameter. For example, it is possible to specify a sensor that is a target for stopping transmission of detection information.

  When the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 receives the transmission stop request from the image processing device 12, the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 stops the transmission of the detection information of the corresponding sensor 54 according to the parameter included in the transmission stop request. For example, when the sensor name that is the sensor 54-1 is specified as the parameter, the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 stops transmitting the detection information of the sensor 54-1.

[Stereoscopic image display processing using detection information]
Next, a stereoscopic image display process using detection information will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.

  First, a stereoscopic image display process executed by the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  When the stereoscopic image display process is started, transmission of image data is started from the image processing apparatus 12, and the processes after step S11 are executed. Note that the transmission flag indicating the presence / absence of transmission of detection information is set to OFF as an initial setting.

  In step S <b> 11, the communication I / F 31 receives image data corresponding to the stereoscopic image transmitted from the image processing device 12. The image data received by the communication I / F 31 is transmitted from the fixed unit 21 to the rotating unit 22 and supplied to the image display unit 53 by, for example, wireless communication in the millimeter wave band. Thereby, in the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11, the plurality of light emitting elements emit light according to the rotation of the rotating unit 22, and the emission control is performed based on the image data for stereoscopic images supplied from the image processing unit 52. As a result, a stereoscopic image is displayed (step S12).

  In step S <b> 13, the sensor 54 detects the operation of the user who is viewing the stereoscopic image. Specifically, the infrared light emitted from the light emitting unit 61 is reflected by the user's hand or the like, the reflected return light is received, and the user's operation is detected according to the intensity of the received reflected light. .

  In step S14, the sampling filter processing unit 81 generates detection information of the target sensor 54. Specifically, in the sampling filter processing unit 81, the light reception signal supplied from the sensor 54 is subjected to filter processing, and then sampling is performed to perform A / D conversion of the light reception signal. And the detection information of the sensor 54 is produced | generated by matching the sensor detection value obtained by A / D conversion, and angle information. The generated detection information is stored in the register 74 and then stored in the register 43 by wireless communication using the wireless communication unit 72 and the wireless communication unit 42.

  In step S <b> 15, the fixed unit control unit 36 controls the communication I / F 37 to determine whether or not a detection information transmission start request has been received from the image processing apparatus 12.

  If it is determined in step S15 that the detection information transmission start request has been received, the process proceeds to step S16. In step S16, the fixed part control unit 36 turns on the detection information transmission flag. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 4, transmission of the detection information according to the parameter included in the transmission start request is started. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S15 that the transmission start request has not been received, step S16 is skipped, and the process proceeds to step S17. In this case, since the transmission flag remains off, detection information is not transmitted.

  In step S <b> 17, the fixed unit control unit 36 determines whether or not the transmission flag is on.

  If it is determined in step S17 that the transmission flag is on, the process proceeds to step S18. In step S18, the fixed unit control unit 36 determines whether or not a predetermined transmission interval such as 1/30 second has elapsed, based on the transmission interval parameter included in the transmission start request.

  If it is determined in step S18 that the predetermined transmission interval has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S19. In step S <b> 19, the fixed unit control unit 36 reads the detection information of the sensor 54 specified by the parameter from the register 43 and converts the detection information by the conversion table 45 to obtain the detection information of the target sensor 54. Then, the communication I / F 37 transmits the detection information to the image processing device 12 (step S20).

  If the transmission flag is off (“No” in step S17), or if the predetermined transmission interval has not elapsed (“No” in step S18), detection information is not transmitted, so step S19 , S20 is skipped.

  In step S <b> 21, the fixed unit control unit 36 controls the communication I / F 37 to determine whether or not a detection information transmission stop request has been received from the image processing apparatus 12.

  If it is determined in step S21 that the detection information transmission stop request has been received, the process proceeds to step S22. In step S22, the fixed part control unit 36 turns off the detection information transmission flag. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 4, transmission of detection information is stopped according to the parameter included in the transmission stop request. On the other hand, if it is determined that the transmission stop request has not been received, step S22 is skipped, and the process proceeds to step S23. In this case, the state of the transmission flag is maintained.

  Subsequently, in step S23, it is determined whether or not to end the display of the stereoscopic image. If it is determined not to end the display of the stereoscopic image, the process returns to step S11 and the above-described processing is repeated. That is, by repeating steps S11 to S23, a stereoscopic image is displayed on the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11, and from when a transmission start request for detection information is received until a transmission stop request is received, The operation of the user viewing the stereoscopic image is detected, and the detection information is transmitted to the image processing device 12.

  Then, the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 receives the image data generated based on the detection information transmitted from the image processing device 12 until the transmission stop request is received after the transmission start request is received, An arbitrary three-dimensional image corresponding to the detected user action is displayed.

  Thereafter, when it is determined in step S23 that the display of the stereoscopic image is to be ended, the image display process by the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 in FIG. 5 is ended.

  As described above, the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 receives the image data for stereoscopic images transmitted from the image processing device 12, displays an arbitrary stereoscopic image corresponding to the received image data, and displays it. The action of the user viewing the stereoscopic image is detected, and detection information regarding the detected action is generated and transmitted to the image processing device 12. Then, image data generated based on the detection information transmitted from the image processing device 12 is received, and an arbitrary stereoscopic image corresponding to the detected operation corresponding to the received image data is displayed.

  Accordingly, the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 can display an arbitrary stereoscopic image corresponding to the image data generated based on the detection information by the image processing device 12 dedicated to image processing. Compared to the case where the image is used only inside the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11, various image representations can be realized. As a result, the satisfaction level of the user who is viewing the stereoscopic image can be improved.

  Next, a stereoscopic image display process executed by the image processing device 12 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S <b> 51, the control unit 101 determines whether to start receiving detection information based on an operation signal from the operation unit 102.

  If it is determined in step S51 that reception of detection information is started, the process proceeds to step S52. In step S <b> 52, the communication I / F 106 transmits a detection information transmission start request to the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 under the control of the control unit 101. As a result, the transmission of the detection information is started as shown in FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S51 that reception of detection information is not started, step S52 is skipped, and the process proceeds to step S53. In this case, since the detection information transmission start request is not transmitted, the detection information is not transmitted.

  In step S <b> 53, the control unit 101 controls the communication I / F 106 to determine whether detection information has been received from the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11.

  If it is determined in step S53 that no detection information has been received, the process proceeds to step S54. In step S54, the image processing unit 104 performs predetermined image processing on the stereoscopic image image data supplied from the image acquisition unit 103, and generates image data corresponding to an arbitrary stereoscopic image. Then, the generated image data is transmitted to the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 by the communication I / F 105 (step S57).

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S53 that the detection information has been received, the process proceeds to step S55. In step S <b> 55, the control unit 101 analyzes the detection information supplied from the communication I / F 106 and supplies the analysis result to the image processing unit 104.

  In step S56, the image processing unit 104 performs predetermined image processing on the image data supplied from the image acquisition unit 103 based on the analysis result of the detection information, and obtains image data corresponding to an arbitrary stereoscopic image. Generate.

  Specifically, based on the distance information for each predetermined rotation angle of the rotation unit 22, the control unit 101 determines an area (reaction area) in which, for example, a user's hand is estimated to exist. For example, an angle region in which the distance indicated by the distance information exceeds a certain threshold level is determined as a reaction region. Information on the reaction region corresponding to the determination result is supplied to the image processing unit 104 as an analysis result. The image processing unit 104 generates image data corresponding to a stereoscopic image corresponding to the reaction area. For example, as a stereoscopic image corresponding to the reaction region, a stereoscopic image in which the entire display state has changed, or a stereoscopic image in which only the display state of the portion corresponding to the reaction region in which the user's hand or face is assumed to exist is changed. Is generated.

  In addition, you may make it give a hysteresis to the threshold level used for determination of a reaction area | region. Moreover, you may make it perform arbitrary display operations according to distance information (change of reflection intensity), without providing a threshold level.

  The generated image data is transmitted to the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 by the communication I / F 105 (step S57).

  By transmitting the image data generated in this way to the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11, the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 has a response area (detection position of a user's hand or face) according to the reaction area. For example, the light emission control of the light emitting element is performed so that the display state of the image display unit 53 viewed from the user changes. For example, in the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11, when a bird image is displayed as a stereoscopic image, when a user's hand is detected around the rotating unit 22, the bird is detected in the direction in which the hand is detected. Can be displayed. Thereby, the user can obtain a feeling that the user is operating the display state of the stereoscopic image (the direction of the bird) only by holding the hand.

  Further, since the image data corresponding to the stereoscopic image displayed on the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 can be edited on the side of the image processing apparatus 12 dedicated to image processing according to the detection information, Various image expressions can be realized without imposing a load on the image display apparatus 11 side.

  When the process of step S57 ends, the process proceeds to step S58.

  In step S <b> 58, the control unit 101 determines whether to stop receiving detection information based on the operation signal from the operation unit 102.

  If it is determined in step S58 that reception of detection information is to be stopped, the process proceeds to step S59. In step S <b> 59, the communication I / F 106 transmits a detection information transmission stop request to the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 in accordance with the control of the control unit 101. As a result, the transmission of detection information is stopped as shown in FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S58 that reception of detection information is not stopped, step S59 is skipped, and the process proceeds to step S60. In this case, the detection information transmission stop request is not transmitted, so that the detection information transmission state is maintained.

  In step S60, it is determined whether or not to end the display of the stereoscopic image. If it is determined not to end the display of the stereoscopic image, the process returns to step S51 and the above-described processing is repeated. That is, by repeating Steps S51 to S60, the image processing apparatus 12 receives the detection information from the time when the detection information transmission start request is transmitted until the time when the transmission stop request is transmitted. 3D image data based on the analysis result is generated and transmitted to the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11.

  Thereafter, when it is determined in step S60 that the display of the stereoscopic image is to be ended, the image display process by the image processing device 12 in FIG. 6 is ended.

  As described above, in the image processing device 12, image data corresponding to an arbitrary stereoscopic image is generated, and the generated image data is transmitted to the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11, and the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11. The detection information transmitted from is received. Then, image data corresponding to an arbitrary stereoscopic image is generated based on the received detection information, and the image data generated based on the detection information is transmitted to the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11.

  As a result, the image processing device 12 dedicated to image processing can transmit the image data generated based on the detection information transmitted from the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 to the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11. Therefore, various image representations can be realized as compared with the case where the detection information is used only within the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11.

[Example of change in display state of stereoscopic image]
Next, a specific example of a change in the display state of a stereoscopic image will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 7 shows, in time series, changes in the display state of the stereoscopic image when the user's hand is held over the stereoscopic image displayed on the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11. . As shown in FIG. 7, the display state of the stereoscopic image can be changed so that the character “imagile” pops out all around as the user's hand approaches the stereoscopic image.

  In this case, the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 only detects the user's hand and transmits the detection information to the image processing device 12, and displays a stereoscopic image corresponding to the detected position of the user's hand. The image data to be generated is generated on the side of the image processing apparatus 12 that performs image processing exclusively. In the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11, based on the image data from the image processing device 12, for example, the light emission control of the light emitting element is performed so that the display state of the characters “imagile” viewed from the user changes. .

  In addition, for example, when the user moves his / her hand slowly, characters can appear or retract following the movement of the hand. Furthermore, when the hand is moved too fast and the movement is not detected, for example, after the character stops at the pop-out position for 3 seconds, the character can be automatically retracted from the position. .

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, when the user's hand approaches the stereoscopic image, the camera floats, and conversely, when the hand is moved away from the stereoscopic image, the stereoscopic image display state is such that the camera slowly lands. Can be changed. Also in this case, the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 only detects the user's hand and transmits the detection information to the image processing device 12, and displays a stereoscopic image corresponding to the detected position of the user's hand. The image data to be generated is generated by the image processing device 12 that performs image processing exclusively.

  Thereby, the user can obtain a feeling that the user is operating the display state of the stereoscopic image only by holding the hand.

  The omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 only transmits the detection information to the image processing device 12, and generates image data for displaying a stereoscopic image according to the detection position of the user's hand. Since the image processing apparatus 12 performs image processing exclusively, the application method of the detection information can be freely customized, and an application for realizing such image representation is provided together with various image representations. be able to.

  In the above description, a sensor using infrared rays has been described as an example of the sensor 54, but another sensor for detecting the user's operation can be used. In addition, by providing a camera instead of the sensor 54, predetermined image processing may be performed on a captured image captured by the camera, and a user's operation may be detected from information obtained as a result. Furthermore, instead of the sensor 54, a touch panel with a built-in sensor may be provided to detect the user's operation.

  In the above description, the omnidirectional stereoscopic image display device 11 and the image processing device 12 have been described as transmitting and receiving data such as image data and detection information via the cables 24 and 25, but are limited to wired communication. Instead, data may be transmitted and received by wireless communication in accordance with a predetermined communication method.

Alternatively, the CPU 201 transfers a program stored in the recording unit 208, a program transferred from a satellite or a network, received by the communication unit 209, and installed in the recording unit 208, or a removable medium 211 installed in the drive 210.
