It is a functional block diagram which shows the functional structure for performing an interval imaging | photography process among the functional structures of the imaging device of FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining a flow of interval photographing processing executed by the imaging apparatus of FIG. 1 having the functional configuration of FIG. 2. 3 is a flowchart for explaining a flow of interval photographing processing executed by the imaging apparatus of FIG. 1 having the functional configuration of FIG. 2.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a hardware configuration of an imaging apparatus according to an embodiment of the notification control apparatus of the present invention.
The imaging device 1 is configured as a digital camera such as a wearable camera that is attached to a user's body, bag, or the like.

  The imaging apparatus 1 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 11, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 12, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 13, a bus 14, an input / output interface 15, an imaging unit 16, and an input unit 18. An output unit 19, a storage unit 20, a communication unit 21, and a drive 22.

  The CPU 11 executes various processes according to a program recorded in the ROM 12 or a program loaded from the storage unit 20 to the RAM 13.

  The RAM 13 appropriately stores data necessary for the CPU 11 to execute various processes.

  The CPU 11, ROM 12, and RAM 13 are connected to each other via a bus 14. An input / output interface 15 is also connected to the bus 14. An imaging unit 16, a sensor unit 17, an input unit 18, an output unit 19, a storage unit 20, a communication unit 21, and a drive 22 are connected to the input / output interface 15.

  Although not shown, the imaging unit 16 includes an optical lens unit and an image sensor.

The optical lens unit is configured by a lens that collects light, for example, a focus lens or a zoom lens, in order to photograph a subject.
The focus lens is a lens that forms a subject image on the light receiving surface of the image sensor. The zoom lens is a lens that freely changes the focal length within a certain range.
The optical lens unit is also provided with a peripheral circuit for adjusting setting parameters such as focus, exposure, and white balance as necessary.

The image sensor includes a photoelectric conversion element, AFE (Analog Front End), and the like.
The photoelectric conversion element is composed of, for example, a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) type photoelectric conversion element or the like. A subject image is incident on the photoelectric conversion element from the optical lens unit. Therefore, the photoelectric conversion element photoelectrically converts (captures) the subject image, accumulates the image signal for a predetermined time, and sequentially supplies the accumulated image signal as an analog signal to the AFE.
The AFE performs various signal processing such as A / D (Analog / Digital) conversion processing on the analog image signal. Through various signal processing, a digital signal is generated and output as an output signal of the imaging unit 16.
Hereinafter, the output signal of the imaging unit 16 is referred to as “captured image data”. Data of the captured image is appropriately supplied to the CPU 11 or an image processing unit (not shown).

  The sensor unit 17 includes a six-axis acceleration sensor including an acceleration sensor, a gyro sensor, a geomagnetic sensor, and the like, and measures the moving direction, the (lens) direction, and the rotation of the imaging device 1. The sensor unit 17 is also configured to be capable of sensing the current position by GPS (Global Positioning System).

  The input unit 18 includes various buttons and the like, and inputs various types of information according to user instruction operations.

  The output unit 19 includes a display, a speaker, an LED light, a vibrator, and the like, and outputs an image, sound, light, vibration, and the like.

  The storage unit 20 is configured by a hard disk, a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory), or the like, and stores various image data.

  The communication unit 21 controls communication with other devices (not shown) via a network including the Internet.

  A removable medium 31 composed of a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a magneto-optical disk, a semiconductor memory, or the like is appropriately attached to the drive 22. The program read from the removable medium 31 by the drive 22 is installed in the storage unit 20 as necessary. The removable medium 31 can also store various data such as image data stored in the storage unit 20 in the same manner as the storage unit 20.

The imaging apparatus 1 configured as described above has a function capable of performing notification when it becomes a situation in which suitable shooting cannot be performed during interval shooting.
For example, it is possible to record the itinerary by performing interval shooting at 10-minute intervals during a trip by operating this function, and it is suitable for shooting during the shooting timing of the 10-minute intervals. By determining the absence and notifying the user, it is possible for the user to adjust the body orientation and the like before shooting, so that a more suitable image can be shot.

  In the present embodiment, notifications such as (1) to (5) are performed. In the interval shooting, immediately before the shooting timing, the situation notification is made when the situation (1) to (5) has a negative effect on the photographed image or is not suitable for photography. Notifying you that shooting has been stopped by not shooting.

(1) Notification of “blurring” Notification is performed when the blur width of the imaging apparatus is large.
The sensor unit 17 detects that the blur width is large, and notifies the user before shooting to improve the shooting posture of the user.

(2) Notification that “the shooting direction is not appropriate” When the shooting direction (elevation angle) is greater than a predetermined angle with respect to the reference and the camera is facing an abnormal direction (ground, sky, etc.) Make a notification.
The direction of the lens of the camera is detected by the sensor unit 17, and the lens direction of the camera is facing downward (for example, tilting 25 degrees or more, facing downward) with reference to the lens angle at the start of the interval. It is intended to prompt the user to improve the shooting posture by notifying before shooting when they are greatly deviated up and down, such as facing (for example, tilting 25 degrees or more, facing up).

(3) Notification of “Not Appropriate Shooting Location” Notification is given when the user is in a location that is not suitable for shooting, such as on a public transport such as a train or bus.
The purpose is to detect whether it is a place that is not currently suitable for shooting by behavior analysis or position analysis, to notify that it is not suitable for shooting, and to urge to stop shooting. Note that when the user is in a place unsuitable for shooting, the shooting may be automatically stopped to notify that the shooting is stopped.

(4) Notification that “a face is not included” Notification is performed when a face is not included in the angle of view.
In response to a request to capture an image with a face (when in the face shooting mode or the like), face recognition is performed by image analysis, and notification is given when there is no face within the angle of view. At this time, it may be configured to determine the face of a specific person.
In addition, since there are few cases where the presence of a face is large and the angle of view is out of focus, if there is no face, it is determined that it is not appropriate, and a notification to that effect is given. At this time, since it may be another person, the determination is simply performed by face recognition.
Conversely, if you want to shoot a more suitable image of only scenery that does not include people or faces, you can confirm by this notification, or notify that the face is included, and Upon receiving the notification, the angle of view may not be included.

(5) Notification of “Not Appropriate Shooting Target” Notification is performed when a subject that is not desired to be shot is included in the angle of view.
For example, an object is to analyze an image, detect a subject that is not desired to be photographed by image matching or the like, notify that an unsuitable subject is included, and prompt the user to stop photographing. It should be noted that when the angle of view includes a subject that is not desired to be shot, the shooting may be automatically stopped to notify that the shooting has been stopped.

  As described above, in the situation of (1) to (5), only an image suitable for photographing can be obtained by receiving the notification.

FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing a functional configuration for executing the interval shooting process among the functional configurations of the imaging apparatus 1 as described above.
The interval shooting process is a series of processes for determining and notifying a state suitable for shooting and performing interval shooting.

When the interval shooting process is executed, as shown in FIG. 2, the imaging control unit 51, the shooting status determination unit 52, and the output control unit 53 function in the CPU 11.
An image storage unit 71 is set in one area of the storage unit 20.
The image storage unit 71 stores captured image data.

The imaging control unit 51 controls the imaging unit 16 to stop shooting / shooting according to interval shooting or a user instruction.
Specifically, the imaging control unit 51 controls the imaging unit 16 to start interval shooting.
In addition, the imaging control unit 51 controls the imaging unit 16 to perform imaging.
Further, the imaging control unit 51 determines whether or not to end interval shooting.

The shooting situation determination unit 52 determines whether the situation is suitable for shooting from the output from the sensor unit 17 or the like. Specifically, the shooting state determination unit 52 determines the state of the apparatus from the acceleration from the sensor unit 17 and the like, the state of the subject within the angle of view from the image analysis and the like, the state of the place from the behavior estimation and position information from the sensor unit 17 And so on. In the present embodiment, notification is made when the determination result shows that the situation is not suitable for shooting (a situation that affects the shot image). Note that a situation that affects a photographed image is a situation that includes elements (devices, subjects, and elements of the photographing environment) that, when photographed, have an influence that does not result in an image desired by the user.
Specifically, the shooting state determination unit 52 determines the state of the camera as to whether or not the interval shooting can be started.
Further, the imaging control unit 51 determines whether it is 5 seconds before the start of interval shooting.
Further, the shooting situation determination unit 52 acquires the camera tilt at the time of starting the interval shooting from the sensor unit 17 from the acceleration or the like, and sets it as a base value of the camera tilt.
Further, the shooting situation determination unit 52 determines whether or not the user is on a train based on the sensor value from the sensor unit 17.
Further, the shooting state determination unit 52 determines whether or not the camera shake is large based on the sensor value from the sensor unit 17.
Also, the shooting situation determination unit 52 determines whether the sensor value from the sensor unit 17 is more than 25 degrees above and below the set base value and is not suitable for shooting.
Further, the shooting situation determination unit 52 performs face recognition on the live view image acquired from the imaging unit 16 and determines whether or not a face exists within the current angle of view.

The output control unit 53 controls the output unit 19 so as to perform notification using a screen, sound, light, vibration, or the like based on the determination result in the shooting situation determination unit 52. Accordingly, the user can take measures such as reestablishing the posture so that appropriate photographing can be performed upon receiving the notification from the output unit 19.
Specifically, the output control unit 53 controls the output unit 19 so as to notify that “photographing is not performed because it is in a train” when the user is on a train.
In addition, the output control unit 53 controls the output unit 19 so as to notify “blurring” when the camera shake is large.
Further, when the output control unit 53 is more than 25 degrees above and below the set base value and is not suitable for shooting, the output control unit 53 indicates that it is facing upward (or downward) according to the determined orientation. The output unit 19 is controlled so as to be notified.
Further, the output control unit 53 controls the output unit 19 to notify “no face” when a face is present within the current angle of view.

3 and 4 are flowcharts for explaining the flow of interval photographing processing executed by the imaging apparatus 1 of FIG. 1 having the functional configuration of FIG.
The interval shooting process is started by an operation of starting the interval shooting process on the input unit 18 by the user.

  In step S11, the imaging control unit 51 controls the imaging unit 16 to start interval shooting (shooting at intervals of 5 minutes in the present embodiment). At this time, the shooting state determination unit 52 determines whether or not the camera is ready to start interval shooting.

  In step S <b> 12, the shooting state determination unit 52 acquires the camera tilt at the time of starting the interval shooting from the sensor unit 17 from the acceleration or the like, and sets it as a base value of the camera tilt.

In step S13, the imaging control unit 51 determines whether it is 5 seconds before the start of interval shooting.
If it is not 5 seconds before the start of interval shooting, NO is determined in step S13 and a standby state is entered.
If it is 5 seconds before the start of interval shooting, YES is determined in step S13, and the process proceeds to step S14.

In step S <b> 14, the shooting state determination unit 52 determines whether or not the user is on a train based on the sensor value from the sensor unit 17.
If it is not on the train, NO is determined in step S14, and the process proceeds to step S16. The processing after step S16 will be described later.
If the user is on the train, YES is determined in step S14, and the process proceeds to step S15.

  In step S <b> 15, the output control unit 53 controls the output unit 19 so as to notify that “photographing is not performed because it is in a train”. Thereafter, the process returns to step S13.

In step S <b> 16, the shooting state determination unit 52 determines whether the camera shake is large based on the sensor value from the sensor unit 17.
If the blur is not large, NO is determined in step S16, and the process proceeds to step S18. The processing after step S18 will be described later.
If the blur is large, it is determined as YES in Step S16, and the process proceeds to Step S17.

  In step S <b> 17, the output control unit 53 controls the output unit 19 to notify “blurring”. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S22. Upon receiving this notification, the user can take measures such as reestablishing the posture so that appropriate photographing can be performed.

In step S <b> 18, the shooting state determination unit 52 determines whether the sensor value from the sensor unit 17 is 25 ° or more above and below the set base value and is not suitable for shooting.
If the inclination of the lens is within 25 ° in the vertical direction and is suitable for shooting, NO is determined in step S18, and the process proceeds to step S20. The processing after step S20 will be described later.
If the inclination of the lens is 25 ° or more and is not suitable for photographing, YES is determined in step S18, and the process proceeds to step S19.

  In step S <b> 19, the output control unit 53 controls the output unit 19 so as to notify “upward (or downward)” according to the determined orientation. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S22. Upon receiving this notification, the user can take measures such as reestablishing the posture so that appropriate photographing can be performed.

In step S <b> 20, when the face shooting mode is selected, the shooting state determination unit 52 performs face recognition on the live view image acquired from the imaging unit 16, and the face exists within the current angle of view. It is determined whether or not.
If the face exists within the current angle of view, the determination at step S20 is YES, and the process proceeds to step S22. The process of step S22 will be described later.
If the face does not exist within the current angle of view, NO is determined in step S20, and the process proceeds to step S21.

  In step S <b> 21, the output control unit 53 controls the output unit 19 to notify “there is no face”. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S22. Upon receiving this notification, the user can take measures such as reestablishing the posture so that appropriate photographing can be performed.

  In step S22, the imaging control unit 51 controls the imaging unit 16 to perform shooting. The captured image output from the imaging unit 16 is stored in the image storage unit 71.

In step S23, the imaging control unit 51 determines whether or not to end interval shooting.
If the interval shooting is not terminated, NO is determined in step S23, and the process returns to step S13.
When the interval shooting is to be ended, YES is determined in step S23, and the interval shooting process is ended.

In other words, in this embodiment, when interval shooting is set every 5 minutes and shooting is started, the shutter is normally automatically released every 5 minutes. In this case, notification is given at 4 minutes 55 seconds, which is 5 seconds before the start of shooting. Upon receiving this notification, the user can cancel shooting from 4 minutes 55 seconds to 5 minutes from the start of shooting, in which case shooting is skipped.
Therefore, in the imaging device 1, the user can receive a notification from the output unit 19 and prompt the user to take measures such as reestablishing the posture so that appropriate photographing can be performed. Thereby, a suitable image can be taken.

The imaging apparatus 1 configured as described above includes an output control unit 53 and a shooting situation determination unit 52.
The output control unit 53 controls shooting timing notification by the imaging apparatus 1.
The shooting situation determination unit 52 determines whether the shooting situation is a predetermined condition.
The output control unit 53 controls notification according to a determination result by the shooting state determination unit 52 before a predetermined time that is a shooting timing.
Thereby, in the imaging device 1, in order to judge the situation to image | photograph, the notification for imaging | photography of a more suitable image can be performed.

The predetermined condition in the shooting situation determination unit 52 is a situation that affects the shot image.
Thereby, in the imaging device 1, it is more preferable because it is possible to perform shooting in a situation that does not affect the captured image by determining whether the situation affects the captured image and performing notification control. Can be notified to take a picture.

The condition in the shooting situation determination unit 52 is when the blur width of the imaging device 1 is greater than or equal to a predetermined size.
Thereby, in the imaging device 1, since it can image | photograph within suitable blur width by determining whether the blur width of the imaging device 1 is more than predetermined magnitude | size, and performing notification control, it is more suitable. Notification for taking an image can be made.

The condition in the shooting situation determination unit 52 is when the shooting direction of the imaging apparatus 1 is greater than or equal to a predetermined angle with respect to the reference direction.
Thereby, in the imaging device 1, imaging is performed at a predetermined suitable angle with respect to the reference direction by determining whether or not the imaging direction of the imaging device 1 is greater than or equal to a predetermined angle with respect to the reference direction and performing notification control. Therefore, it is possible to give notification for taking a more suitable image.

The condition in the shooting situation determination unit 52 is when the face is not included in the angle of view of the captured image.
Thereby, in the imaging device 1, in order to determine whether or not a face is included in the angle of view of the captured image, and to control notification, it is desirable to capture an image with a face, or conversely, no person or face is included. Notification for photographing a more suitable image of only such a landscape can be made.

The condition in the shooting situation determination unit 52 is a case where the condition is not suitable for shooting.
Thereby, in the imaging device 1, in order to judge the case where it entered into the range unsuitable for imaging | photography and to perform notification control, the notification for imaging | photography of a more suitable image can be performed.

The condition in the shooting state determination unit 52 is a case where a subject that is not desired to be shot is included in the angle of view.
Thereby, in the imaging device 1, in order to determine a case where a subject that is not desired to be captured is included in the angle of view, and to perform notification control, it is possible to perform notification for capturing a more suitable image.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, The deformation | transformation in the range which can achieve the objective of this invention, improvement, etc. are included in this invention.

In the above-described embodiment, the output unit 19 of the imaging device 1 is configured to notify by sound, light, vibration, or the like, but the notification may be performed by an external device.
Specifically, notification control is performed on the output unit 19 of the imaging apparatus 1 or a notification unit of a mobile terminal that communicates wirelessly with the imaging apparatus 1. Thereby, notification can be performed directly in the imaging device 1 or notification can be performed by an external device advantageous for notification.
Further, when the notification is performed by the external device, the notification may be performed by, for example, a wristwatch-type mobile terminal that is worn on the user's arm and used.
Since the imaging device 1 configured with a wearable camera is mounted on a bag or the like in addition to the body, the convenience and use of the notification and operation on the main body is extremely reduced. Therefore, the notification may be configured to be performed on a portable terminal such as a wristwatch. In this case, the shooting cancel operation may be performed from a portable terminal such as a wristwatch.

In the above-described embodiment, the shooting may be performed regardless of the determined situation, or may not be performed until the situation is improved. The selection may be performed by the user, or it may be set in advance whether to shoot for each situation.
Specifically, for example, when notification control is performed by the output control unit 53, shooting is not performed. Thereby, in the imaging device 1, in order not to perform photographing when notification control is performed by the output control unit 53, it is possible to perform control so that photographing is not automatically performed, and a more suitable image is photographed. You can be notified to do that.
Further, the notification is made when the situation is such that a suitable shooting cannot be performed. However, the notification may be made when a situation where a suitable shooting can be performed.

In the above-described embodiment, the notification is made when there is a notification matter before the interval shooting. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this, and for example, the arrival timing of the interval shooting may be notified.
Specifically, the output control unit 53 performs notification control that the shooting timing is reached in the interval shooting. Thereby, in the imaging device 1, in order to perform notification control that the shooting timing is reached in the interval shooting, the posture or the like is corrected according to the notification content in accordance with the shooting timing, and a notification for shooting a more suitable image. Can do.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case of interval shooting has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and shooting using a self-timer or timer reservation may be used.
