When one coin is inserted into the coin insertion slot 32, the coin control unit 112 (see FIG. 5) provides information indicating that the coin has been inserted via the control board 102 to the computer device 101.
Is output. The CPU 103 increments the coin count by one for each piece of information from the coin control unit 112. When the coin count reaches one play, the CPU 103
It is determined that coins for play have been received (step S112: Yes), play is started, and processing from step S113 onward is performed.

The CPU 103 displays the photographing course selection screen 110 illustrated in FIG.
And the selection of the shooting course by the user is accepted (step S113). At this time, the CPU 103 may cause the speaker 33 to output a sound prompting the user to select a shooting course.

In this embodiment, two shooting courses (deer course, round course) are prepared.
As shown in FIG. 8, on the shooting course selection screen 110, an icon 110a described as “deer course” and an icon 110b described as “mal course” are displayed.

“Shikak course” has three angles (up, whole body,
This is a shooting course that provides a photographic image obtained by trimming a captured rectangular image to a predetermined ratio. The round course has two angles (up, whole body from the top) as shooting angles, and is a shooting course that provides a photographic image in which the captured rectangular image is represented in a circular shape by mask processing or the like. is there.

In the shooting with the angle “up”, the vertical angle and focal length of the camera 21 are controlled to a predetermined angle and focal length according to “up”, and a part of the user's face and upper body is shot. When the angle is “from the top to the whole body”, the vertical angle and the focal length of the camera 21 are controlled to a predetermined angle and a focal length corresponding to “the whole body from the top”, and the whole body of the user is photographed. In “full body photography from above”, an image as if taken from an obliquely upward direction of the user is obtained. In addition, when the angle is “front whole body”, the vertical angle and focal length of the camera 21 are controlled to a predetermined angle corresponding to “front whole body”, and the whole body of the user is photographed. In "front whole body photography"
An image as if taken from the front of the user is obtained. A specific description of the vertical angle and focal length of the camera 21 according to the angle will be described later.

Hereinafter, shooting at an “up” angle is referred to as up shooting, shooting at an angle from “up to whole body” is referred to as whole body shooting from above, and shooting at an angle of “front whole body” is referred to as front whole body shooting. Also,
An image taken by up shooting is called an up image, an image taken by whole body shooting from above is called a first whole body image, and a photographic image taken by front whole body shooting is called a second whole body image.

In the present embodiment, in the case of “Malcourse”, the “front whole body” angle cannot be selected. The photographic image generated in the case of the marcose has a circular shape. In a circular photographic image obtained by frontal full-body photography, the range in which the subject appears is vertically long, and there are margins on the left and right sides of the subject. The ratio occupied by the blank portion tends to be larger than in the case of “up shooting” or “whole body shooting from above”. When the proportion of the blank area increases, the balance of the appearance of the circular photographic image becomes worse. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the case of “Marcose”, the “front whole body” angle is not prepared, The number of angles is smaller than "Course".

The user selects a shooting course by touching one of the icons. Here, it is assumed that the deer course is selected. After the shooting course is selected in step S113, the CPU 103 performs angle setting processing for accepting selection of an angle at the time of shooting (step S114).

FIG. 9A is a diagram illustrating an operation flow of the angle setting process. CPU103 displays the angle selection screen 120 shown to FIG. 10A, when a deer course is selected as a photography course (step S1141: Yes) (step S1142).

In the present embodiment, for example, six shootings are performed for both the “deer course” and the “mal course”. In the angle selection screen 120, the CPU 103 accepts selection of an angle at each of the six shootings (step S1143).

On the angle selection screen 120, set angle icons 121 (121a to 121c) corresponding to three set angles 1 to 3 in which each angle of six shootings is set in advance,
Individual angle icons 122 (122a to 122c) corresponding to the angles "up", "whole body from above", and "front body" are displayed. In addition, the angle selection screen 120
An angle information display area 123 (123a to 123f) for displaying a list of angle information indicating each angle of 1 to 6 shootings is provided.

The set angle icon 121a displays the word “up 4 + front whole body 2”.
A set angle 1 in which “up” is combined four times and “front whole body” is combined two times is associated.

The set angle icon 121b displays the word “up 3 + overall body 3”, and is associated with set angle 2 in which “up” is combined with 3 times and “overall body is over” 3 times. .

The set angle icon 121c displays the word “up 6” and “up”
Is associated with a set angle 3 in which 6 times are combined.

In addition, the individual angle icon 122a displays the word “up” and the model image that has been “up-captured”, and is associated with the angle “up”.

The individual angle icon 122b includes the words “whole body from above” and “whole body shooting from above”.
Is displayed, and the angle of “whole body from the top” is associated.

The individual angle icon 122c displays the word “front whole body” and a model image that is “front whole body photography”, and the “front whole body” angle is associated with each other.

The user touches the set angle icon 121 or the individual angle icon 122 to sequentially select angles for each of the 1 to 6 shootings. That is, the angle information display area 12
Select in order from the angle to be displayed on 3a. In the state where the angle is not selected, as shown in FIG. 10A, the word “Please choose your favorite angle” is displayed in the angle information display area 12.
3 is displayed.

For example, when the user selects the set angle icon 121, the angle information is displayed in the angle information display area 123 (123 a to 123 f) according to the combination of the set angle corresponding to the selected set angle icon 121. Is displayed.

In addition, for example, when selecting each angle for six shootings, the user touches any of the individual angle icons 122a to 122c. When the individual angle icon 122 is touched by the user, angle information indicating an angle corresponding to the selected individual angle icon 122 is displayed in one angle information display area 123, and a cancel button is displayed below the angle information. 125 is displayed. The angle information display area 12
3 (123a to 123f) may always be displayed, and when the angle information is displayed in the angle information display area 123 (123a to 123f), the operation of the cancel button 125 may be accepted.

The user can cancel the selection of the angle information by touching a cancel button 125 displayed below the angle information displayed in the angle information display area 123. Further, if the user touches a cancel button 125 below any angle information display area 123 after selecting any set angle, the selection of the angle displayed in the angle information display area 123 is canceled. can do. Further, if any of the individual angle icons is touched, the angle corresponding to the selected individual angle icon can be set instead of the selected angle.

The user touches an OK button 124 after selecting each angle for six shootings.
When all the angles are selected and the OK button 124 is touched (step S1144: Yes), the CPU 103 stores the six angle information in the memory 105 and displays the angle confirmation screen 130 shown in FIG. 10B.

In the angle confirmation screen 130, the angle information indicating the six angles selected in step S1143 is rearranged according to a predetermined priority order among the angles of “up”, “whole body”, and “front body”. The shooting order angle display area 131 (131a to 131).
f). In the shooting order angle display area 131 (131a to 131f),
In addition to the angle information, the shooting order ((1) to (6)) at that angle is displayed. In the present embodiment, the six pieces of angle information are rearranged so as to be in the order of “up”, “whole whole body”, and “front whole body”, and are displayed in the shooting order angle display area 131.

For example, in the angle selection screen 120, “front whole body” is displayed in the angle information display area 123a, “whole whole body” is displayed in the angle information display areas 123b and 123c, “up” is displayed in the angle information display areas 123d and 123e, and the angle information display area 123f. Is displayed, the angle confirmation screen 130 is displayed as follows.
That is, on the angle confirmation screen 130, the shooting order angle display areas 131a and 131b are displayed.
The angle information indicating “up”, “the whole body from above” is displayed in the imaging order angle display areas 131c and 131d, and “front whole body” is displayed in the imaging order angle display areas 131e and 131f. That is, in this case, “up-shooting” is performed for the first to second shooting, “whole body shooting from the top” for the third to fourth shooting, and “front whole body shooting” for the fifth to sixth shooting.

When a set angle is selected on the angle selection screen 120, an angle confirmation screen 130 shown in FIG. 10B displaying the angle information indicating each angle of the selected set angle and the shooting order may be popped up. .

The user touches the OK button 132 when not changing the combination of angles displayed in the shooting order angle display area 131 of the angle confirmation screen 130, and cancels when changing the displayed combination of angles. The button 133 is touched.

When the OK button 132 is touched, the CPU 103 (Step S1146: No)
Then, the angle information indicating the selected angle and the number of shots of the angle are associated with each other and stored in the memory 105 (step S1147). If the cancel button 133 is touched (step S1146: Yes), the process returns to step S1143, and angle selection is accepted on the angle selection screen 120.

Returning to FIG. 9A, the description will be continued. When six angles are not selected on the angle selection screen 120 and the predetermined time has not elapsed (step S1144: No, step S1148: No), the process returns to step S1143 to accept selection of the angle. On the other hand, if the predetermined time has passed in step S1148 (step S114).
8: Yes), angle information (hereinafter, selected angle information) indicating each angle selected within a predetermined time is stored in the memory 105. Then, a process of automatically setting an angle (hereinafter referred to as an automatic setting process) with respect to photographing in which the angle is not selected (hereinafter referred to as an unselected shot) is performed (step S1149).

FIG. 9B is a diagram showing an operation flow of automatic setting processing in step S1149. C
When there is an unselected shot (step S1200: Yes), that is, when the number of selected angle information is less than 6, the PU 103 refers to the selected angle information stored in the memory 105, and determines the “up” angle. The number (hereinafter, the number of up angles) is counted (step S1201). If the number of up angles is less than 4 (step S1202: Yes), the CPU 103 sets “up” as an angle for one unselected shot, and stores the angle information in the memory 105 as selected angle information. . (Step S1203). The CPU 103 further determines that there is an unselected shot (step S12).
00: Yes), the process of step S1203 is performed until the number of up angles in the selected angle information becomes four.

If there is an unselected shot and the number of up-angles is 4 or more (step S1202: No), the CPU 103 refers to the selected angle information stored in the memory 105 and refers to the number of “front whole body” angles. (Hereafter, the number of front whole body angles) is counted (
Step S1204). If the front whole body angle number is less than 2 (step S120)
5: Yes), “front whole body” is set as an angle for one unselected shot, and the angle information is stored in the memory 105 as selected angle information (step S120).
6). Further, when there is an unselected shot (step S1200: Ye)
s), Step S120 until the number of front whole body angles in the selected angle information becomes 2
Process 6 is performed.

That is, for example, in step S1146, when a predetermined time elapses with three “up” angles selected, automatic setting processing is performed for three unselected shots. In this case, an “up” angle is set for one unselected shot, and an “front whole body” angle is set for the remaining two unselected shots. Further, for example, when a predetermined time elapses in a state where five “up” angles are selected, an angle of “front whole body” is set for one unselected shot. For example, one “
When the predetermined time has elapsed with the “whole body” angle selected, the “up” angle is set for the four unselected shots, and the “front whole body” angle is set for the remaining one unselected shot. An angle is set.

Thus, in this embodiment, based on the angle selected by the user, all six angle combinations are similar to set angle 1 including “up” four times and “front whole body” twice. The angle for the unselected shot is automatically set so that

In step S1204 in FIG. 9B, instead of the front whole body angle number, the number of whole body angles from the top in the selected angle information (hereinafter, the whole body angle number from the top) is counted, and the whole body angle number from the top is less than two. For example, “the whole body from above” may be set. In short, it is only necessary to set an angle for an unselected shot so that the ratio of the angle of “up” is higher than that of “whole whole body” and “front whole body” in all photographing.

The CPU 103 displays the angle information of the angle set in the automatic setting process in step S1149 in the angle information display area 123 corresponding to the unselected shot on the angle selection screen 120. Then, the CPU 103 stores a total of six pieces of angle information including angle information indicating the angle selected by the user and angle information indicating the angle set by the automatic setting process in the memory 105.

Returning to FIG. 9A, the description will be continued. If the shooting course is not “deer course” in step S1141, that is, if “mal course” is selected as the shooting course (step S1141: No), the CPU 103 displays the shooting number selection screen 140 shown in FIG. 10C. Then, the selection of the number of shots for “whole body shooting from above” is accepted (step S1150).

The number of shots selection screen 140 is a screen for accepting selection of the number of shots for “whole body shooting from above”. On the number-of-shots selection screen 140, an icon 1 representing each number of shots from 0 to 6 is displayed.
41 is displayed.

The CPU 103 sets an angle of “up” for the remaining shots according to the number of shots selected in step S1150, and stores the number of shots of “full body shot from above” and “up shot” in the memory 105, respectively. (Step S1151). In the case of "Maru course"
There are only two types of angles, “Full Body from Top” and “Up”. Therefore, by selecting the number of shots for one angle, the number of shots for the other angle is automatically determined. In this example, the number of shots for “whole body shooting from above” is selected, and the number of shots for “up shot” is determined. Therefore, in the case of a round course, it is not possible to individually select each angle of six times of photographing.

Returning to FIG. 7, the description will be continued. After the angle setting process in step S114, the CPU 103 causes the reception display 31 to display a selection screen (not shown) for selecting one of “2” or “3 or more” as the number of photographers. The selection is accepted (S115). In the following description, it is assumed that “2 people” is selected as the number of photographers.

Subsequently, the CPU 103 displays a capture selection screen (not shown) on the reception display 31, and accepts selection of the capture of the entire photographic image (step S116).

Next, the CPU 103 performs background image selection processing for accepting selection of a background image to be combined with each photographic image obtained by each of the six shootings (step S117).

FIG. 11A is a diagram illustrating an operation flow of background image selection processing. In step S1147, the CPU 103 refers to the six pieces of angle information stored in the memory 105, and displays a background image selection screen corresponding to the angle information on the reception display 31. Then, selection of a background image for each shooting is accepted (step S1171).

11B to 11D are schematic views illustrating background image selection screens displayed when “deer course” is selected as the shooting course.

The background image selection screen 150 has an upper display area 150A and a lower display area 150B. In the upper display area 150A, background type icons 151 (151a to 151c) each indicating three background types (normal, design, set) and a background image icon 152 representing a background image are displayed. The lower display area 150B is a selection area 153 (153a to 153a) that displays a reduced image of the background image corresponding to the background image icon 152 selected for each shooting.
3f).

The background images stored in the HDD 104 are “normal”, “design”, and “set”.
Some background types are set, and some background types are not set. The background image for which “normal” is set is composed of an image composed of only colors. In addition, the background image in which “design” is set is configured by an image on which a combination of characters, designs, and the like is applied. The background image set with “set” is configured by combining six background images including normal and design background images, or background images for which no background type is set.

The background type icon 151a is associated with the background type “normal”, the background type icon 151b is associated with the background type “design”, and the background type icon 151c is associated with the background type “set”. ing. In FIG. 11B, the image represented by the background type icon 151a is hatched for the sake of convenience, but in reality, an image composed only of colors is represented.

FIG. 11B shows the background image selection screen 15 when the background type icon 151a is selected.
FIG. 11C shows the background image selection screen 150 when the background type icon 151c is selected. 11D and 11E show the background image selection screen 150 when the background type icon 151b is selected.

In FIG. 11D and FIG. 11E, a background image icon 152b indicated by a broken line frame P2 corresponds to a background image including a frame designed to be synthesized on the front surface of the subject. The background image icon 152b displays an image obtained by combining the background image and the model image. In order to make it easy to understand that the background image corresponding to the background image icon 152b includes those arranged in front of the subject, in this example, an image obtained by combining the model image and the background image is displayed in the background image icon 152b. ing. The model image displayed on the background image icon 152b may be displayed as an animation. This background image icon 152
When b is selected, the model image is not displayed in the selection area 153 (153a to 153f), and only the reduced image of the corresponding background image is displayed.

As described above, in the present embodiment, an angle for each shooting of 1 to 6 times is set. Depending on the angle, the position of the subject in the photographic image and the shooting range differ, so depending on the pattern applied to the background image, when the photographic image and the background image are combined, the pattern of the background image and the subject overlap unnaturally. In some cases, it may cause a sense of incongruity. Therefore, in this embodiment, for each background type of “design” and “set” except “normal”, background images corresponding to the angles of “up”, “whole body from the top”, and “front whole body” are displayed. Stored in the HDD 104 in advance. The background image icon 152b represents the same image as one background image, and the background type and angle corresponding to the background image and the data of the background image are associated with each other and stored in the HDD 104. Note that the design of the background image in this embodiment differs depending on the angle, but the vertical and horizontal ratios of the background images of all angles are the same ratio.

For example, the background image selection screen 150 shown in FIGS. 11D and 11E displays a background image icon 152b in which a background image with a background type of “design” is displayed. The background image icon 152b in FIG. 11D corresponds to the “up” angle, and the background image icon 152b in FIG. 11E corresponds to the “upper body” angle.

Specifically, for example, the background image icon 152b of the broken line frame P1 in FIGS. 11D and 11E.
As shown in FIG. 11, the background image corresponding to the background image icon 152b has the same pattern, but the background image corresponding to the background image icon 152b shown in FIG.
The background image of the background image icon 152b shown in FIG. In the case of shooting at an angle of “whole body from the top”, the head to the foot of the subject is shot. Therefore, the background image corresponding to “whole body from the top” is more than the background image corresponding to “up” so that the subject appears to be standing on the floor when the photographic image and the background image are combined. Is also represented three-dimensionally. Although not shown, the background image corresponding to the “front whole body” is taken from the head to the foot of the subject as in “the whole body from above”, but the angle at which the whole body is photographed from “from the top” is different. Therefore, a three-dimensional design different from the background image “from the top to the whole body” is made. As described above, in the present embodiment, when the background type is “design” and “set”, the background image and the background image icon 152 that are designed according to “up”, “the whole body from above”, and “ A background image and a background image icon 152 that are designed according to the “front whole body” are prepared.

The CPU 103 rearranges the angle information for each of the six shots stored in the memory 105 in step S1147 in the order of “up”, “whole body”, “front body”, and the angle information in the order of the rearranged angle information. A background image icon 152 corresponding to is displayed in the upper display area 150A. Therefore, when the background type icon 151a is selected,
A background image icon 152a associated with the “normal” background type is displayed. When the background type icon 151b or 151c is selected, the background image icon 152b or 152c corresponding to the angle information among the background image icons 152b or 152c associated with the background type of “design” or “set” is selected. 152c is displayed.

The user selects a background image for each shooting by selecting a background image icon 152 representing a desired background image from the background image icons 152 displayed on the background image selection screen 150. When the background image icon 152 is selected by the user, the CPU 103 displays a reduced image of the background image corresponding to the background image icon 152 in the lower display area 150B.
Are sequentially displayed in the selection area 153. Then, the background image icon 15 selected for each shooting.
The identification information for identifying the background image corresponding to 2 is stored in the memory 105 (step S117).
2).

When the user touches the reduced image displayed in the lower display area 150B, the CPU
103 cancels the selection of the background image corresponding to the reduced image, deletes the identification information of the background image from the memory 105, and selects the background image selection screen 150 based on the identification information in the memory 105.
Update the display of.

The CPU 103 selects a background image for all shootings (step S1173).
: No), the process from step S1171 is performed. Further, when the background image for all shootings is selected (step S1173: Yes), the CPU 103 lowers the display area 150B.
An OK button (not shown) is displayed on the screen, and selection of whether or not to end the selection of the background image is accepted (step S1174).

When the user touches an OK button (not shown), the CPU 103 displays a background image confirmation screen on the reception display 31 (step S1175).

FIG. 11F is a schematic diagram illustrating the background image confirmation screen when the “set” background image is selected. On the background image confirmation screen 160, an image 161 obtained by enlarging the background image corresponding to the background image icon 152c selected by the user to a predetermined size is displayed. When the user changes the combination of the background images indicated by the image 161, the cancel button 1
63 is touched, and if not changed, the OK button 162 is touched.

When the OK button 162 is touched, the CPU 103 (Step S1176: Yes).
When the display of the background image selection screen 150 is terminated and the cancel button 163 is touched (
Step S1176: No), the process after step S1171 is performed.

In the above example, the background image selection screen 150 when the shooting course is “deer course”.
However, in the case of “Malcourse”, in step S1171, for example, FIG.
A background image selection screen 170 as shown in A to 12D is displayed. In the case of “deer course”, a rectangular background image icon 152 is displayed.
As shown in FIGS. 12A to 12D, a circular background image icon 172 (172a to 172).
d) is displayed.

As with “Shikaku Course”, “Up” and “Whole Body” are used as background images for “Design” and “Set” background types, except for “Normal”. A background image corresponding to the angle and a background image icon 172 are stored in the HDD 104. The background image selection screen 170 includes a background image icon 172 corresponding to the background type.
A background image icon 172 corresponding to the angle information is displayed. In the case of "Marukoru"
The background image selection process is performed in the same manner as in the “deer course”.

Returning to FIG. 7, the description will be continued. When the user finishes selecting the background image, the CPU 103
Determines whether or not the shooting booth 2 is empty (step S118). When the photography booth 2 is not available (step S118: No), the CPU 103 displays a standby screen (not shown) for prompting the user to wait on the reception display 31 (step S119).
When the photography booth 2 is vacant (step S118: Yes), the CPU 103 causes the reception display 31 to display a guidance screen (not shown) that guides the movement to the photography booth 2 (
Step S120). At this time, the CPU 103 may cause the speaker 33 to output a voice for guiding the user to the photographing booth 2 together with the display of the guidance screen.

<2.2. Shooting process>
Next, the photographic image generation process (step S20) will be described. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an operation flow of the photographing process.

The CPU 103 displays a shooting start screen (not shown) for guiding the start of shooting on the front display 22 in the shooting booth 2 (step S211). A shooting start button is displayed on the shooting start screen, and subsequent processing is started when the user touches the shooting start button.

In the present embodiment, the number of photographers selected in step S115 is “two people”. Therefore, when the user touches the shooting start button, the CPU 103 displays a test shooting guide screen for guiding the start of test shooting on the front display 22 and performs test shooting (step S212).

FIG. 14 is a schematic view illustrating a test photographing guide screen. On the test photographing guide screen 200, two frame images 201A and 201B and a guidance 203 “Enter inside this frame and look forward” are displayed. Of the live images taken by the camera 21 in the shooting booth 2, the areas 202A and 20 inside the frame images 201A and 201B on the test shooting guide screen 200 are displayed.
A video portion corresponding to 2B is displayed in the areas 202A and 202B.

The frame images 201A and 201B have a rectangular shape corresponding to the shooting range of the test shooting. In addition,
Even when the shooting course is “maru course”, rectangular frame images 201A and 201B are displayed. If the shooting area of the test shooting is a vertically long rectangular shape, if you display a circular frame image that matches the vertical width of the shooting area, the horizontal width of the frame image will be larger than the horizontal width of the shooting area. Live video is not displayed in the area in the image. Further, when a circular frame image is displayed in accordance with the horizontal width of the shooting range, the vertical width of the frame image becomes smaller than the vertical width of the shooting range, and the user is located at a position away from the camera 21 so that the face fits in the frame image. Will move. For this reason, rectangular frame images 201A and 201B corresponding to the shooting range are also displayed so that the user can perform test shooting without a sense of incongruity even in the case of “Malcourse”. Further, when a circular frame image is displayed, the user is conscious of trying to enter the circular shape, and the rectangular frame image 201 is displayed.
There is a possibility that the user may find it difficult to shoot compared to A and 201B.

After a predetermined time has elapsed, the CPU 103 takes a picture with the camera 21 and identifies image portions corresponding to the areas 202A and 202B from a photographic image (hereinafter referred to as a test image) obtained by the test photography. Then, a subject ID for identifying the subject is associated with each identified image portion and stored in the memory 105. The test image is used for selecting a face image, which will be described later, and identifying a user who appears in a photographic image, and is not provided to the user.

In the present embodiment, the appearance of the face of the subject in the photographic image is changed according to the user's operation.
Specifically, each of the eye size of the subject, the size of the black eye, and the face contour image portion in the photographic image includes a plurality of predetermined eye sizes, pupil sizes, and face contours. Image processing corresponding to the correction pattern selected by the user from the correction patterns is performed.

In this example, three types of correction patterns (hereinafter referred to as individual correction patterns) are prepared in advance for each of the eye size, the black eye size, and the face outline, and the eye size, black eye size, In addition, three types of correction patterns (hereinafter referred to as set correction patterns) are prepared in advance by combining individual correction patterns of the face outline.

For example, there are three individual correction patterns of “natural”, “recommended”, and “volume” having different eye sizes. In addition, the individual correction pattern for the size of the black eye is different in the size of the black eye "Natural", "Recommended", "Volume"
There are three individual correction patterns. The face contour individual correction patterns include three individual correction patterns of “round”, “recommended”, and “slosh” having different face contour shapes. Further, there are three set correction patterns, “face image 1”, “face image 2”, and “face image 3”, which have different combinations of individual correction patterns of eye size, black eye size, and face outline. There is a set correction pattern.

In the image processing for the eye size, the size of the eye image area of the subject specified by the image recognition processing is enlarged at a rate corresponding to the individual correction pattern. For example, when the individual correction pattern is “natural”, the eye size is corrected to be approximately equal to the eye size of the subject. When the individual correction pattern is “Recommended”, the eye size for “Natural” is m times (m> 1.0)
Correct to the size of the eyes enlarged. When the individual correction pattern is “volume”, the eye size in the case of “natural” is corrected to the size of the eye enlarged n times (n> m).

In the image processing for the black eye size, the ratio of the black eye area to the white eye area in the image area of the subject eye specified by the image recognition process is corrected so as to correspond to the individual correction pattern. For example, when the individual correction pattern is “natural”, the black eye region is corrected so that the ratio of the black eye region is x (x> 1.0) times the left and right white eye regions sandwiching the black eye. When the individual correction pattern is “recommended”, the black eye region is corrected so that the ratio of the black eye region is y (y> x) times as large as the left and right white eye regions sandwiching the black eye. The individual correction pattern is
“Large correction” means that the ratio of the black eye region is z (z>y> for each of the left and right white eye regions sandwiching the black eye.
x) The black eye area is corrected so as to be doubled.

Further, in the image processing for the face contour, the shape of the face contour of the subject is corrected so as to be a shape corresponding to the individual correction pattern. For example, when the individual correction pattern is “round”, correction is performed so that the shape is smaller than the contour of the face of the subject. When the individual correction pattern is “recommended”, the contour of the subject is corrected so that the jaw line of the subject has a clean shape.
When the individual correction pattern is “slosh”, the contour is corrected so that the width of the face of the subject is narrowed so that the entire face has a slim shape. When correcting the face outline, for example, the face area of the subject and the eyes, nose, and mouth in the face area are identified by image recognition processing, and the positional relationship between the eyes, nose, and mouth in the face area is determined. Identify the center of the face area. Then, the face area such that various parameter values for adjusting the contour of the face, such as the vertical and horizontal lengths of the face area passing through the center, the ratio of the vertical and horizontal lengths, are values according to the individual correction patterns. Correct the contour.

The CPU 103 applies all combinations of the individual correction patterns of the eye size, the black eye size, and the face outline to the image portion of each subject in the test image (in this example, 3 × 3 ×
(3 = 27)) and a corrected image each subjected to image processing of three set correction patterns is generated. Then, the generated corrected image, the correction pattern applied when generating the corrected image, and the subject ID are stored in the memory 105 in association with each other.

Returning to FIG. 13, the description will be continued. After the test shooting, the CPU 103 performs step S1147.
Then, based on the angle information stored in the memory 105, the main photographing process for performing photographing by controlling the photographing direction and focal length of the camera 21 is executed (step S213).

In this embodiment, the height at which the camera 21 is installed cannot be changed, but the camera 21 swings so that the shooting direction of the camera 21, that is, the vertical angle of the camera 21 can be changed in the vertical direction. It is installed as possible. The CPU 103 controls the vertical angle and focal length of the camera 21 based on the angle information.

That is, in the case of “up-shooting”, the optical axis when the optical axis of the camera 21 is substantially parallel to the floor surface is used as a reference line so that the optical axis of the camera 21 is inclined downward by a first angle from the reference line. The angle of the camera 21 is controlled. Further, in the case of “up shooting”, the focal length of the camera 21 is controlled to be the first focal length so that the face of the subject is captured with a predetermined size.

In the case of “frontal full body photography”, the camera 21 is so photographed from the head to the toes of the subject.
The angle of the camera 21 is controlled such that the optical axis is inclined downward from the reference line by a second angle (first angle> second angle). In other words, in the case of “frontal full body photography”, the camera 21 is swung counterclockwise so that the optical axis is higher than the optical axis of the camera 21 in “up photography”. The angle is controlled to be smaller than the angle of the camera 21 of “shooting”. The focal length of the camera 21 is controlled to a second focal length (2 focal lengths <first focal length) shorter than “up shooting”.

In the case of “whole body photography from above”, the focal length of the camera 21 is controlled to the second focal length similar to “front whole body photography”. Thus, the angle of the camera 21 is controlled so that the optical axis of the camera 21 is inclined downward from the reference line by a third angle (third angle> first angle> second angle). That is, in the case of “whole body photography from above”, the camera 21 is rotated clockwise so that the optical axis of the camera 21 in “front whole body photography” and the optical axis of the camera 21 in “up photography” are downward. The angle of the camera 21 is controlled to be larger than the angle of the camera 21 for “front whole body photography” and “up photography”.

FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an operation flow of the main photographing process in step S213. CPU103
Sorts the angle information for each of the six shootings stored in the memory 105 in the order of “up”, “whole body from top”, and “front body”. Then, each process shown in FIG. 15 is performed based on the shooting angle information in the rearranged order. In this example, since “deer course” is selected as the shooting course, the case of “deer course” will be described as an example.

When the angle information is “up” and the “up shooting” is the first time (step S2130: Yes, step S2131: Yes), the CPU 103 sets the angle and focal length according to the “up shooting”. The camera 21 is controlled, and the front display 22
A guidance screen for up-shooting is displayed (step S2132). A guidance screen for up-shooting may be displayed on the front display 22 in parallel with the control of the camera 21 according to “up-shooting”.

(A)-(c) of FIG. 16A is the schematic diagram which illustrated the screen transition of the guidance screen for up imaging | photography. On the guidance screen, guidance 211 describing the user's standing position in the up-shooting and guidance 212 describing the words “Stand up the beauty line”
Is displayed.

FIG. 17 is a schematic view of the imaging booth 2 as viewed from above. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, a line A indicating the user's standing position during up-shooting is drawn in advance on the floor surface 25 provided in the rear housing 20 </ b> B constituting the shooting booth 2. ing. The beauty line in the guidance 212 indicates this line A. Guidance 2 for “Up Shot”
11 and 212 are displayed, and the user is guided to take a picture while standing on the line A drawn on the floor surface 25.

CPU103 displays each guidance screen of (a)-(c) of FIG. 16A for every fixed time, Then, imaging | photography is started with the camera 21, A live image | video is displayed on the front display 22 (step S2133).

After displaying the live video, the CPU 103 takes in the image data of the live video at a predetermined frame rate, and displays the up-image data subjected to the chroma key process on the front display 22 (step S2134).

If the angle information is “up” and “up shooting” is not the first time (step S2130: Yes, step S2131: No), the CPU 103 performs the processing from step S2133 onward. That is, when the “up shooting” is performed for the second time or later, after the previous “up shooting”, a live image is displayed on the front display 22 for shooting.

Next, processing when the angle information is “from the top to the whole body” will be described. CPU10
3, when the angle information is “whole whole body” and “whole body photographing from above” is the first time (step S2135: Yes, S2136: yes), the angle and focus according to “whole body photographing from above” The camera 21 is controlled so as to be the distance, and a guidance screen for whole body photography is displayed on the front display 22 from above (step S2137). Note that a guidance screen for whole body photography from above may be displayed on the front display 22 in parallel with the control of the camera 21 in accordance with “whole body photography from above”.

FIGS. 16A to 16C are schematic views illustrating screen transitions of the guidance screen for whole-body photographing from above when the photographing course is “deer course”. As shown in (a) to (c) of FIG. 16B, the guidance screen includes an image image 220 obtained by photographing a model at an angle of “whole body from above”, and “whole body photography from above” below the image image 220. A line image 221 indicating the standing position of the user is displayed. Also, in the guidance screen shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B, the shooting position guide image 222 in which the word “Please put your toe on the“ line ”on the screen” is displayed below the line image 221. Is displayed. In addition, on the guidance screen shown in FIG. 16B (c), a pose guidance image 222 for guiding a shooting pose in which the words “You can take a picture when you lean forward slightly” is displayed below the line image 221. .

In the case of “whole body photography from above”, it is desirable that the subject stands at the position indicated by the broken line B in FIG. 17 in the photography booth 2, but the floor 25 of the photography booth 2 has “ A line indicating the standing position of “whole body photography from above” is not drawn. When a line indicating the standing position of “whole body photography from above” is drawn on the floor 25 of the photography booth 2, the line is reflected in the photographed image, and the image portion of the line cannot be subjected to chroma key processing. Therefore, in this embodiment, the line image 221 is displayed on the front display 22, and the user's standing position in whole body photography is guided from above.

Returning to FIG. 15, the description will be continued. CPU103 displays each guidance screen of (a)-(c) of FIG. 16B for every fixed time, Then, imaging | photography is started with the camera 21, Front display 2
2, the live video and the line image 221 are displayed (step S 2138). That is, on the front display 22, as shown in FIG. 16C, a live video image captured by the camera 21 is displayed in a region inside the frame image 240 displayed at the same position as the image image 220. The line image 241 is positioned at a position that overlaps or touches the lower side of 240.
Is displayed. The line image 241 corresponds to the position indicated by the broken line B in FIG. As a result, the user can move the toe to the line image 241 while viewing the live video, and can shoot at a shooting position suitable for “whole body shooting from above”.

After displaying the live video, the CPU 103 takes in the image data of the live video at a predetermined frame rate, and displays the first whole body image data subjected to the chroma key process on the front display 22.
(Step S2139).

When the angle information is “whole body from above” and “whole body imaging from above” is not the first time (step S2135: Yes, step S2136: No), the CPU 103
Performs the processing from step S2138 onward. That is, in the case of “whole body photography from above” for the second and subsequent times, after the previous “whole body photography from above”, a live image and a line image 241 are displayed on the front display 22 for photography.

Next, processing when the angle information is “front whole body” will be described. CPU103
If the angle information is “front whole body” and “front whole body photography” is the first time (step S2135: No, S2141: Yes), the angle and focal length correspond to “front whole body photography”. The camera 21 is controlled to display a guidance screen for front whole body photography on the front display 22 (step S2142).

FIGS. 16A to 16C are schematic diagrams illustrating the screen transition of the guidance screen in frontal whole body photographing when the photographing course is “deer course”. As shown in (a) to (c) of FIG. 16D, an image image 230 obtained by photographing a model at an angle of “front whole body” is displayed on the guidance screen. In addition, on the guidance screen shown in FIGS. 16A and 16B, a shooting position guide image 232 in which the words “Please lower to the back!” Are displayed below the image image 230. . On the guidance screen shown in (c) of FIG. 16D, a pose guidance image 232 is displayed below the image image 230. The pose guidance image 232 expresses the phrase “You can take a good style if you take a picture with your feet straight.”

In the case of “frontal full body photography”, it is desirable that the subject stands at the position indicated by the broken line C in FIG. 17 in the photographing booth 2, but on the floor 25 of the photographing booth 2, A line indicating the standing position of “whole body photography” is not drawn. As in the case of “whole body photography from above”, when a line indicating the standing position of “front whole body photography” is drawn on the floor 25 of the photography booth 2, the line appears in the photographed image, and the line This is because it is impossible to perform chroma key processing on the image portion. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the shooting position guide image 232 is displayed and the user is guided so as to go down to the backmost of the shooting booth 2.

Returning to FIG. 15, the description will be continued. CPU103 displays each guidance screen of (a)-(c) of FIG. 16D for every fixed time, Then, imaging | photography is started with the camera 21, Front display 2
In step 2, a live video is displayed (step S2143).

After displaying the live video, the CPU 103 takes in the image data of the live video at a predetermined frame rate, and displays the second whole body image data subjected to the chroma key process on the front display 22.
(Step S2144).

When the read angle information is “front whole body”, “front whole body photography”
Is not the first time (step S2135: No, step S2140: No), CPU1
03 performs the processing from step S2142 onward. That is, when the “frontal whole body photography” is performed for the second time or later, the live video is continuously displayed on the front display 22 after the previous whole body photography.

In the above example, the case where the shooting course is “deer course” has been described as an example. However, in the case of “Maru course”, the guidance screen in “whole body shooting from above” is a rectangular image 23.
Instead of 0, a circular image is displayed. Then, after the guidance screen is displayed, a circular frame image is displayed instead of the rectangular frame image 240, and a live video is displayed in an area inside the frame image. Below the circular frame image, an arc-shaped line image is displayed along the outer edge of the frame image at a position corresponding to the position indicated by the broken line B in FIG.

Returning to FIG. 13, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the editing booth 4 is free after the main photographing process in step S213 (step S214). When editing booth 4 is not available (
In step S214: No), the CPU 103 causes the front display 22 to display a standby screen (not shown) that prompts the user to wait (step S215). When the editing booth 4 is vacant (step S214: Yes), the CPU 103 causes the front display 22 to display a guidance screen (not shown) for guiding the movement to the editing booth 4 (step S216). Note that the CPU 103 may cause the speaker 450 to output sound for guiding the user to the editing booth 4 together with the display of the guidance screen.

  <2.3. Image editing process>

Next, the image editing process (step S30) will be described. FIG. 18 is a flowchart of the image editing process. In the following description, for example, “deer course” is selected as the photographing course in step S113, and two up images, two first whole body images, and two second whole body images are obtained by the photographing process in step S215. The case where it is generated will be described as an example.

The CPU 103 causes the editing display 411 (see FIG. 4) to display a standby screen (not shown) for displaying a demonstration video or the like related to image editing (step S311).

A user who has moved from the shooting booth 2 to the editing booth 4 displays a touch pen 412 on the standby screen (FIG. 4).
When the button is touched, the CPU 103 displays a face image selection screen for selecting the size of the eyes, the size of the black eyes, and the outline of the face on the editing display 411, and accepts the selection from the user (step S1). S312).

FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram illustrating a face image selection screen. On the left and right sides of the face image selection screen 300, preview areas 311A and 311B for displaying a corrected image for each subject ID stored in the memory 105 are provided. Next to each preview area, "Natural"
Three icons 312a to 312c for selecting the size of the eyes with the letters "Recommended" and "Volume", and the black eyes with the letters "Natural", "Recommended" and "Volume" Three icons 313a to 313c for selecting the size of the face, and three icons 314a to 314c for selecting the outline of the face, which are represented by the characters “round”, “recommended”, and “slow” Is done. In addition, at the upper part of each preview area, three icons 315a to 315c in which characters of “face 1”, “face 2”, and “face 3” are displayed.
Is displayed, and an OK button 316 is displayed below each preview area.

The icons 312 a to 312 c are associated with individual correction patterns of “natural”, “recommended”, and “volume” eye sizes. The icons 313a to 313c are
The individual correction patterns corresponding to the sizes of the “natural”, “recommended”, and “volume” black eyes are associated with each other. The icons 314a to 314c are associated with individual correction patterns of the outline of the face of “round”, “recommended”, and “hosoku”. Also, icon 315a
˜315c are associated with each set correction pattern of “Face 1”, “Face 2”, and “Face 3”.

The user on the left side facing the editing display 411 touches a desired icon from the icon group A arranged on the left side of the face image selection screen 300 to select the image of his / her face in the photographic image. . The user on the right side of the editing display 411
A desired icon is touched from the icon group B arranged on the right side of the face reflection selection screen 300 to select a reflection of his / her face in the photographic image.

For example, when individually selecting a correction pattern for the eye size, the black eye size, and the face outline, the eye size icons 312a to 312c and the black eye size icons 313a to 31 are used.
3c, touch desired icons one by one from the face outline icons 314a to 314c. When a correction pattern for eye size, black eye size, and face outline is selected as a set, one desired icon is touched from the icons 315a to 315c.

For example, when the icon of the icon group A on the left side of the face image selection screen 300 is touched, the CPU 103 corrects the correction pattern corresponding to the touched icon in the correction image of the subject ID corresponding to the preview area 311A. Is stored in the memory 10
5 and the corrected image is displayed in the preview area 311A. The user can confirm the image of the face image applied to the photographic image by the corrected image displayed in the preview area 311A.

When the user touches the OK button 316, the CPU 103 ends the face image selection screen 300, and stores the selected face image correction pattern in the memory 105 in association with the subject ID.

Returning to FIG. 18, after selecting the image of the face, the CPU 103 displays a screen (not shown) for selecting the brightness of the photographic image on the editing display 411 and accepts the selection by the user.
(Step S313).

The CPU 103 determines the two up-image data generated in step S213 and the two first images.
The whole body image data and the two pieces of second whole body image data are subjected to image processing according to the correction pattern of the face image selected at step S312 and image processing according to the brightness selected at step S313. Then, the CPU 103 performs the two up-images after the image processing and the two first images.
Each image of the whole body image and the two pieces of second whole body image data is trimmed to a predetermined image size so that the ratio of the vertical and horizontal lengths is a predetermined ratio, thereby generating six rectangular photographic images. (Step S314).

In the present embodiment, when the shooting course is a “deer course”, a rectangular image obtained by any of the “up shooting”, “whole body shooting from the top”, and “front whole body shooting” is displayed in the vertical and horizontal directions. Trimming is performed so that all the ratios are the same (for example, length: width = 1: 1.4). When the shooting course is “Maru course”, the rectangular image obtained by either “up shooting” or “whole body shooting from above” has a ratio of 1: 1 to vertical. Is trimmed to a circular shape by mask processing or the like.

After step S314, the CPU 103 displays a name input screen for inputting the user's name on the editing display 411, and accepts the input of the name by the user (step S315).

Subsequently, after step S315, the CPU 103 displays an editing screen on the editing display 411 and starts a graffiti process (editing process) (step S316).

FIG. 20A is a schematic view exemplifying an editing screen displayed on the editing display 411 when the shooting course is “deer course”. As shown in FIG. 20A, the edit screen 410 has an edit area 4110, a thumbnail image display area 4120, an edit tool display area 4130, and an END button 4140 on the left and right sides of the edit screen, respectively.

Hereinafter, the editing area 4110, thumbnail image display area 4120, and editing tool display area 4130 arranged on the left side will be mainly described. However, the editing area 4110, thumbnail image display area 4120, and editing tool display area 4130 arranged on the right side are also described. Same as the left side.

In the thumbnail image display area 4120, thumbnail images that are reduced in the state in which the aspect ratio of each of the six photographic images generated in step S314 is maintained are displayed in the order of shooting.

In the initial state, in the editing area 4110, a thumbnail image in the thumbnail image display area 4120 is combined with a photographic image of one thumbnail image and a background image corresponding to the photographic image is displayed.

The user on the left side facing the editing screen 410 edits the photographic image displayed in the left editing area 4110 using the left touch pen 412 (see FIG. 4). Edit screen 410
The user on the right side edits the photographic image displayed in the editing area 4110 on the right side using the right touch pen 412 (see FIG. 4).

When the user on the left side facing the editing screen 410 touches any of the thumbnail images displayed in the thumbnail image display area 4120 with the touch pen 412, the CPU 103 displays a photographic image corresponding to the thumbnail image touched with the touch pen 412. It is displayed in the edit area 4110. In the thumbnail image display area 4120 on the left side, the edit area 4 on the right side is displayed.
In the display area of the thumbnail image corresponding to the photographic image displayed in 110, the text “Rakugaku in” is displayed.

The user on the left side of the editing screen 410 selects the desired editing image 4130a from the editing image 4130a displayed in the editing tool display area 4130 with the touch pen 412, and selects the selected editing image 4130a in the editing area. The photographic image is edited by placing it on the photographic image displayed at 4110.

When the user finishes scribbling the photographic image displayed in the editing area 4110, the user selects another thumbnail image in the thumbnail image display area 4120 and switches the display of the photographic image in the editing area 4110. The user touches the END button 4140 when the graffiti is finished for all the photographic images.

In the above description, the editing screen 410 when the shooting course is the “deer course” is illustrated, but when the shooting course is the “mal course”, the editing screen shown in FIG. 20B is displayed on the editing display 411. Is done.

As shown in FIG. 20B, the editing screen 420 in the case of “Marcose” is a thumbnail image in which a circular editing area 421 and a circular thumbnail image are displayed on the left side and the right side, respectively, when facing the editing screen. It has a display area 422 and an edit tool display area 423 in which a circular edit image 423a is displayed. In the case of “Marcose”, since a circular photographic image is generated in step S314, similarly to the photographic image, a circular thumbnail image, a circular editing area 421, and a circular editing image 423a. Are displayed on the editing screen 420.

Returning to FIG. 18, the CPU 103 ends the graffiti process in step S <b> 316 by the touch operation of the END button 4140 by the user, and associates the edited image selected in the graffiti process for each of the six photographic images with the photographic image. And stored in the memory 105.

Next, the CPU 103 displays a sheet layout selection screen on the editing display 411 and accepts selection of a sheet layout by the user (step S317).

FIG. 21A is a schematic diagram illustrating a sheet layout selection screen when the shooting course is “deer course”. As shown in FIG. 21A, on the left and right sides of the sheet layout selection screen 430, four types of sheet layouts 431a to 431d indicating the layout of the photographic images on the sticker paper and the selected sheet layout are predetermined. A preview image 432 enlarged in size is displayed.

The six photographic images generated in step S314 all have the same ratio between the vertical and horizontal lengths. For this reason, the ratios of the vertical and horizontal lengths of the photographic image arrangement area in the sheet layout are all the same as in the photographic image.

Note that when the shooting course is “maru course”, a sheet layout selection screen 430 shown in FIG. 21B is displayed on the editing display 411. As shown in FIG. 21B, in the case of “Marcose”, a circular photographic image is generated, so that the sheet layouts 431a to 431a-4.
The photographic image arrangement area 4312 at 31d is also circular.

Subsequently, the CPU 103 generates a sheet image for printing on the sticker sheet based on the sheet layout selected by the user (step S318). The sheet image is step S3.
14 is a composite image obtained by combining the six photographic images generated in Step 14, the background image corresponding to each photographic image selected in Step S117, and the edited image corresponding to each photographic image selected in Step S316. Generated in a predetermined arrangement area in the selected sheet layout.

Returning to FIG. 18, the CPU 103 determines whether or not the subsequent customer service unit 5 is empty (step S <b> 319). When the subsequent customer service section 5 is not available (step S319: No), the CPU 1
03 displays a standby screen (not shown) prompting the user to wait on the editing display 411 (step S320). When the customer service section 5 is vacant (step S319: Y
es), the CPU 103 transmits the sheet image generated in step S318 to the printer 650, and starts printing (step S321). Further, the CPU 103 causes the editing display 411 to display a guidance screen (not shown) for guiding the user to the customer service unit 5 (step S322). The CPU 103 may cause the speaker 413 to output a voice for guiding the user to the post-service section 5 together with the display of the guidance screen.

<2.4. Subsequent customer service>
Next, the subsequent customer service process (step S40) will be described. FIG. 22 is a flowchart of the subsequent customer service process.

The CPU 103 displays a start screen on the reception display 51. When the user who has moved from the editing booth 4 touches the start screen with a finger, the image transmission process is started (step S411). Further, the CPU 103 outputs sound necessary for operation to the speaker 53.

When the image transmission process is started, the CPU 103 displays an image selection screen for selecting an image to be transmitted to the user's mobile phone on the reception display 51 for each user. Thereafter, in order to send a notification mail describing the URL for acquiring the transmission target image selected by the user to the user, an input screen (not shown) for prompting the user to input an email address is displayed on the reception display 51 ( (See FIG. 4). Specifically, the CPU 103 first displays an image selection screen, accepts selection of an image for transmission by the first user, and then accepts input of the user's mail address. After accepting the input of the email address of the first user, the CPU 103 displays an image selection screen and accepts the selection of the image to be transmitted by the second user, and then the email address of the second user. Accepts input.

When the email address of each user is input on the input screen, the CPU 103 sends the email address for each user, information on the transmission target image selected for each user, and step S3.
14 is a server (not shown) that combines each of the six photographic images generated in Step 14 with the background image selected in Step S117 and the edited image selected in Step S316. Send to. The server obtains the image data of the transmission target image of each user out of the image data transmitted from the photography game machine 1 with the mail address of each user transmitted from the photography game machine 1 as a destination. A notification mail containing the URL is sent.

Each user can acquire the selected transmission target image by receiving the notification mail from the server with each mobile phone and accessing the URL described in the notification mail. Each user can acquire all images not selected on the image selection screen via the server by performing predetermined member registration.

In the waiting time until the sheet image printing process in step S321 in FIG.
The process of step S411 is executed. When the printing of the sheet image is completed in step S321, the CPU 103 discharges the sticker paper (photo sticker) on which the sheet image is printed from the photo sticker discharge port 52 (step S412). Up to here is a series of play in one use.

In the above-described embodiment, the user can individually set an angle at the time of shooting for all shootings in one use. Therefore, the user can obtain a photographic image photographed at a desired angle according to the mood of the day, the purpose of photographing, or the like.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, not only can the angles be individually set for all photographing, but also the user can select a set angle in which the angles are combined in advance. Therefore, the user can shorten the time required for setting the angle by selecting the set angle. In addition, after the set angle is selected, the user can select an angle from the angles of “up”, “whole body”, and “front body” for each shooting. Can be improved.

In the above-described embodiment, when all angles are not selected within a predetermined time,
Based on the selected angle, the angle of the unselected shot is automatically set to be similar to a predetermined set angle. Therefore, it is possible to set a well-balanced angle combination along a predetermined set angle while reflecting the angle selected by the user.

More specifically, in the above-described embodiment, the angle of the unselected shot is automatically set based on the set angle 1 in which “up” is combined 4 times and “whole body from top” is combined 2 times.
As a result, “up”, “whole body from top”, “front body”,
The ratio of the “up” angle is the highest, and the appearance of the sheet image is improved when the photographic image is arranged in the sheet layout. In addition, since the face of the subject appears larger in the up-photo image than in the first whole-body photo image and the second whole-body photo image, the effect of the image processing according to the selected face image becomes easier to understand. In addition, considering the fact that “up” is applied 4 times and “upper body” is applied 2 times as a conventional combination of angles, the angle of the unselected shot based on the set angle 1 is considered. By automatically setting, it is possible to perform shooting that is easy to become familiar with the user and does not cause a sense of incongruity.

In the above-described embodiment, the angle selection screen 120 accepts selection of an angle for each of the six shootings, and angle information indicating the selected six shooting angles is displayed in a list. Therefore, the user can select an angle while confirming all the selected angles for the total number of shots in one play.

In the above-described embodiment, a guidance screen that guides the standing position according to the angle at the time of shooting is displayed at the time of shooting. Therefore, the shooting position can be adjusted by moving within the shooting booth 2 according to the guidance screen. it can. As a result, the user can photograph at an appropriate position according to the selected angle.

In the above-described embodiment, photographing is performed in the order of “up”, “whole body from top”, and “front body”. That is, when a plurality of different angles are selected, shooting at the same angle is continuously performed, so that the number of times the user moves in the shooting booth 2 is reduced as compared with a case where shooting at the same angle is not performed continuously. be able to. Further, since the frequency of controlling the shooting direction of the camera 21 can be reduced by continuously shooting at the same angle, mechanical wear of the mechanism for changing the shooting direction of the camera 21 can be reduced. .

In the above-described embodiment, when the shooting course is the deer course, three angles of “up”, “whole body from the top”, and “front whole body” are prepared. Are trimmed so that the ratio of the horizontal length is the same. When the ratio of the vertical and horizontal lengths of a photographic image is different for each angle, it is necessary to prepare a background image of a size corresponding to the angle in accordance with the photographic image. In the above embodiment, since the ratio of the vertical and horizontal lengths of the photographic image is the same at any angle, it is sufficient that background images having the same size are prepared in advance.

Further, in the above embodiment, since the ratio of the vertical and horizontal lengths of the photographic image is the same at every angle, the ratio of the vertical and horizontal lengths of the photographic image arrangement area in the sheet layout is also the same. Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare sheet layout patterns for the number of combinations of angles for one sheet layout. As a result, the type of sheet layout is not limited, and it becomes easy to provide a sheet image desired by the user.

In the above embodiment, for the background types of “design” and “set”, the background image of the design corresponding to “up” and the background image of the design corresponding to the “whole body” and “front whole body” angles Therefore, it is possible to synthesize a background image without a sense of incongruity with a photographic image taken at each angle.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

(1) For example, in the above-described embodiment, when the shooting course is a deer course, an example has been described in which the angle of each shooting is selected from three angles of “up”, “whole body”, and “front whole body”. Alternatively, each shooting angle may be selected from at least two angles.

(2) In the embodiment described above, the set angles are “up” and “whole body”.
In the above example, at least one of the “front whole body” angles has been described, but an angle different from these angles may be included.
