Of course, one user can also enjoy the game in the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 .

In the photo sticker creating apparatus 1, the user himself/herself becomes a subject and performs photographing work. Through editing work, the user combines an image for composition such as handwritten characters or a stamp image with an image selected from the photographed images obtained by photographing. As a result, the photographed image is edited into a colorful image. The user receives the seal paper on which the edited image, which is the edited image, is printed, and ends the series of games.

As shown in FIG. 1, the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 is basically configured by installing a photographing unit 11 and an editing unit 12 in contact with each other.

The photographing unit 11 is composed of a preselection section 20 , a photographing section 21 and a background section 22 . The pre-selection unit 20 is installed on the side of the imaging unit 21 . The space in front of the pre-selection unit 20 becomes the pre-selection space where the pre-selection process is performed. Also, the photographing unit 21 and the background unit 22 are placed apart from each other by a predetermined distance. A space formed between the photographing section 21 and the background section 22 is a photographing space in which photographing processing is performed.

Note that the pre-selection unit 20 may be installed on the side panel 41B.

The background portion 22 is composed of a rear panel 51, side panels 52A, and side panels 52B. The back panel 51 is a plate-like member located on the back side of the user facing the front. The side panel 52A is a plate-like member attached to the left end of the rear panel 51 and having a width narrower than that of the side panel 41A. The side panel 52B is a plate-like member attached to the right end of the rear panel 51 and having a width narrower than that of the side panel 41B.

The side panel 41A and the side panel 52A are provided substantially on the same plane. Upper portions of the side panel 41A and the side panel 52A are connected by a connecting portion 23A, which is a plate-like member.

Upper portions of the side panel 41B and the side panel 52B are connected by a connecting portion 23B. The lower portions of the side panel 41B and the side panel 52B are connected by a connecting portion 23B'.

For example, a green chromakey sheet may be attached to the surface of the back panel 51 facing the shooting space. The photo sticker creating apparatus 1 performs chromakey synthesis in the shooting process and the editing process by shooting a chromakey sheet as a background. As a result, the background image desired by the user is combined with the portion of the sheet.

An opening formed by being surrounded by the side panel 41A, the connecting portion 23A, and the side panel 52A serves as an entrance to the imaging space. An opening formed by being surrounded by the side panel 41B, the connecting portion 23B, and the side panel 52B also serves as an entrance to the imaging space.

A ceiling strobe unit 24 is provided on a part of the ceiling. One end of the ceiling strobe unit 24 is fixed to the connecting portion 23A, and the other end is fixed to the connecting portion 23B. The ceiling strobe unit 24 incorporates a strobe that irradiates light toward the inside of the photographing space in accordance with photographing. Inside the ceiling strobe unit 24, a fluorescent lamp is provided in addition to the strobe. As a result, the ceiling strobe unit 24 also functions as lighting for the shooting space.

The editing unit 12 is a device for editing a captured image. The editing unit 12 is connected to the photographing unit 11 so that one side thereof contacts the front panel 42 of the photographing section 21 .

If the configuration of the editing unit 12 shown in FIG. 1 is taken as the configuration on the front side, the configuration used in the editing work is provided on each of the front side and the back side of the editing unit 12 .

The space in front of the editing unit 12 surrounded by the curtain and the space behind the editing unit 12 become an editing space in which the user performs editing work.

On the left side of the editing unit 12, there is provided a seal paper discharge port 61 through which the printed seal paper is discharged. A space in front of the left side of the editing unit 12 becomes a print waiting space where the user waits for the printed sticker paper to be discharged.

<Structure of shooting unit>
FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the imaging unit 21. As shown in FIG. The imaging unit 21 is configured to be surrounded by the side panel 41A, the side panel 41B, and the front panel 42. As shown in FIG.

A camera unit 81 is provided slightly above the center of the front panel 42 . The camera unit 81 is composed of a camera 91 , a touch panel monitor 92 and a camera strobe 93 .

The camera 91 is, for example, a single-lens reflex camera, and is attached inside the camera unit 81 so that the lens is exposed. The camera 91 has an imaging device such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image sensor or a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensor, and photographs the user in the photography space. A moving image captured by the camera 91 (hereinafter also referred to as a live view image) is displayed on the touch panel monitor 92 in real time. A still image captured by the camera 91 at a predetermined timing, such as when an instruction to shoot is given, is saved as a shot image.

A touch panel monitor 92 is provided below the camera 91 . The touch panel monitor 92 is composed of a monitor such as an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) and a touch panel laminated thereon. The touch panel monitor 92 has a function as a live view monitor that displays moving images captured by the camera 91 and a function that displays various GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces) and receives user selection operations. A moving image (live view image) and a still image (captured image) captured by the camera 91 are displayed on the touch panel monitor 92 .

A camera strobe 93 is provided above the camera 91 . The camera strobe 93 has a horizontally long rectangular light emitting surface made of a milky white acrylic plate. The camera strobe 93 emits light in synchronization with the photographing by the camera 91 to illuminate the vicinity of the user's face as a subject from the front.

Above the camera unit 81, an upper strobe unit 82 is installed with its curved light-emitting surface facing the user. The upper strobe unit 82 irradiates a range centered on the user's face from above the front of the user.

Below the camera unit 81, a foot strobe unit 83 is provided to irradiate the user's lower body and feet with light.

The upper strobe unit 82 and the foot strobe unit 83 are composed of a fluorescent lamp and lighting equipment capable of strobe light emission. The upper strobe unit 82 and the foot strobe unit 83 brighten the shooting space and illuminate the shooting space at all times to ensure user operability and safety. A strobe light is emitted at the timing of photographing, and light is emitted to the user who is the subject.

A box-shaped portion 84 is provided between the foot strobe unit 83 and the side panel 41A. A box-shaped portion 85 is provided between the foot strobe unit 83 and the side panel 41B. The upper surfaces of the box-shaped parts 84 and 85 form a surface substantially horizontal with the installation surface of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1, and are used as a luggage storage area for the user who performs the photographing work to place luggage and the like.

Although not shown, a speaker is provided on the front panel 42, for example, near the ceiling. The speaker outputs guide voices for shooting processing, background music (BGM), sound effects, and the like.

<Example of internal configuration of shooting space>
Next, with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, the internal configuration of the imaging space including the imaging unit 21 described above will be described. 4 is a side view of the internal configuration of the imaging space, and FIG. 5 is a top view of the internal configuration of the imaging space.

In the photographing space, the user U faces the camera unit 81 in which the camera 91 is built in, and performs photographing work. On the front side of the user U in the shooting space (left side in FIG. 4, bottom side in FIG. 5), there are the above-described camera unit 81, an upper strobe unit 82 above the camera unit 81, and a foot strobe unit 83 below the camera unit 81. In addition, the user U is provided with a light source 101 that emits stationary light with good design.

Lines SP are drawn on the floor surface of the imaging space to define the standing position (imaging position) of the user U during imaging. As shown in FIG. 5, the user U performs the photographing work by standing along the line SP. The line SP is, for example, printed on a floor sheet made of resin laid on the floor or attached to the floor as a tape. 4 and 5 show only one user U in the shooting space, but in most cases, two users perform shooting in the shooting space.

The light source 101 is arranged coaxially with respect to the central axis of the strobe light emitted from the upper strobe unit 82 (hereinafter referred to as the optical axis) at a position where it does not emit stationary light. The optical axis is normally perpendicular to the center of the light emitting surface of the upper strobe unit 82 . For example, the light source 101 is installed on the floor on the side of the user U from the foot strobe unit 83, in other words, near the feet of the user U who performs the photographing operation. In particular, as shown in FIG. 5, the upper strobe unit 82 is installed in front of the user U, while the light source 101 is installed diagonally to the front left of the user U. As shown in FIG. As a result, the stationary light from the light source 101 is not emitted coaxially with the optical axis of the upper strobe unit 82 .

Of course, the light source 101 may be installed not only diagonally to the left of the user U but also diagonally to the right of the user U. In addition, the upper strobe unit 82 is not limited to the front of the user U. When the light source 101 is installed diagonally to the left of the user U, the upper strobe unit 82 may be installed diagonally to the right in front of the user U. When it is installed obliquely in front of the user U to the right, it may be installed in front of the user U obliquely to the left. In this case, the upper strobe unit 82 is preferably installed at a position where the strobe light SL82 emitted from the upper strobe unit 82 does not cause a difference in the brightness of the faces of the two users.

The light source 101 is configured as a projector that projects a predetermined image to the user U. FIG. While the upper strobe unit 82 emits strobe light SL82 centering on the face of the user U, the light source 101 projects a projector image CL101 as stationary light centering on the area below the neck of the user U ( irradiation). In other words, the light source 101 emits constant light so that the projector image CL101 is not projected onto the user U's face. The projector image CL101 may be a still image or a moving image.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4 , photographing by the camera 91 , strobe light emission from the upper strobe unit 82 , and image projection (light emission) from the light source 101 are controlled by the control section 120 .

The control unit 120 is composed of a processor built in a computer such as a PC (Personal Computer) and controls the operation of the photo sticker creating apparatus 1 as a whole. A computer in which the control section 120 is built is housed in the editing unit 12, for example.

<Flow of shooting process>
Next, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 6, the flow of the imaging process executed in the imaging space described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 will be described.

Normally, a photo sticker machine takes a plurality of shots. In the photo sticker creating device 1 of the present technology, any or all of the shots taken will be described with reference to FIG. shooting processing is executed.

In step S11, the control unit 120 controls the light source 101 to start emitting stationary light from the light source 101 (projecting the projector image CL101).

In step S12, the control unit 120 determines whether or not it is time to shoot. Step S12 is repeated until photographing timing comes, and when photographing timing comes, the process proceeds to step S13.

In step S<b>13 , the control unit 120 controls the camera 91 to start slow-synchronized photography.

Slow-synchronized photography is one of general photography methods, and is a photography method in which the shutter speed is made slower than normal photography based on strobe light emission, and the strobe light is emitted in synchronization with the shutter speed. In general, slow-synchronized photography is performed when photographing a subject illuminated with strobe light and the background of the subject, such as a night scene, which cannot be captured brightly with strobe light.

That is, in step S13, the control unit 120 controls the camera 91 to open the shutter of the camera 91, and in step S14, the control unit 120 controls the upper strobe unit 82 to open the upper strobe unit 82. to fire the strobe. Here, the strobe emission time of the upper strobe unit 82 is set to, for example, 1/250 second, like the conventional photo sticker machine. Other strobe units including the foot strobe unit 83 emit strobe light simultaneously with the upper strobe unit 82 .

When the shutter open time based on the shutter speed set together with the strobe light emission time elapses, in step S15, the control unit 120 controls the camera 91 to close the shutter of the camera 91 and end the slow synchronization photography. . Here, the shutter speed of the camera 91 is set slower than the shutter speed of a conventional photo sticker machine (eg, 1/125 seconds), eg, 1/25 seconds.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a photographed image obtained by slow-synchronized photographing in the photographing spaces of FIGS. 4 and 5. In FIG.

A captured image 150 shown in FIG. 7 includes two users U1 and U2 as subjects.

In the photographed image 150, the strobe light SL82 from the upper strobe unit 82 is applied to the portions centering on the faces of the users U1 and U2, so that the faces of the users U1 and U2 can be brightly photographed. . In addition, a projector image CL101 projected from the light source 101 can be captured by slow synchro photography on the portions centered below the necks of the users U1 and U2 (upper bodies excluding the faces).

In the example of FIG. 7, the projector image CL101 is an image simulating a plurality of cherry blossom petals, and when the projector image CL101 is projected as a moving image, the cherry blossom petals are reproduced.

According to the above processing, the user projected with the projector image CL101 as the constant light is photographed by slow synchro photography. As a result, it is possible to provide a novel image in which the user's face is brightly captured and the stationary light emitted from the light source 101 with high design characteristics is captured, as in the conventional case.

In addition to setting the shutter speed of the camera 91 slower than the shutter speed of the conventional photo sticker machine, the ISO sensitivity may be set higher than that of the conventional photo sticker machine. Thereby, the light from the light source 101 irradiated to the user can be imaged brighter.

In the above description, the light source 101 emits constant light so that the projector image CL101 is not projected onto the user U's face. It is also possible that the face of

In such a case, the light source 101 may be configured to project a black image BP onto the face of the user U as the projector image CL101, as shown in FIG. The range of the black image BP in the projector image CL101 may be a preset area, or may be determined based on the face recognition result for the live view image captured by the camera 91. FIG.

<Another example of the internal configuration of the shooting space>
9 and 10 are diagrams showing other examples of the internal configuration of the imaging space including the imaging unit 21 described above. 9 is a side view of the internal configuration of the imaging space, and FIG. 10 is a top view of the internal configuration of the imaging space.

9 and 10, in addition to the configuration similar to that of FIGS. 4 and 5, a light source 201 is provided to irradiate the wall surfaces in the imaging space with stationary light with excellent design.

Similarly to the light source 101, the light source 201 is also arranged coaxially with respect to the optical axis of the upper strobe unit 82 at a position where it does not emit stationary light. For example, the light source 201 is installed in the vicinity of the back panel 51, which is the back of the user U, at a position equal to or higher than the user's U head. In particular, the light source 201 is installed on the right side of the user U, as shown in FIG. In this case, the light source 201 may be attached to the imaging space side of the side panel 52B, or may be suspended from the ceiling of the imaging space. As a result, the stationary light from the light source 201 is not emitted coaxially with the optical axis of the upper strobe unit 82 .

Of course, the light source 201 may be installed not only on the right side of the user U but also on the left side of the user U. However, the light source 201 is installed on the right side of the user U when the light source 101 is installed diagonally to the left of the user U, and when the light source 101 is installed diagonally to the right of the user U is preferably installed on the left side of the user U.

The light source 201 is configured as a projector that projects a predetermined image onto the rear panel 51 . In particular, the light source 201 projects (irradiates) a projector image CL201 as stationary light onto a portion of the back panel 51 that is equal to or higher than the user U's head. That is, the light source 201 also emits constant light so that the projector image CL201 is not projected onto the user U's face. The projector image CL201 may be a still image or a moving image. Furthermore, the projector image CL201 may have the same design as the projector image CL101, or may have a different design.

Note that the projection range (irradiation range) of the projector image CL201 by the light source 201 is not limited to the rear panel 51, and may be other wall surfaces of the imaging space included in the imaging range of the camera 91, such as the side panels 52A and 52B. may

In addition, as shown in FIG. 9, the image projection (light emission) from the light source 201 is also controlled by the control unit 201 in the same manner as the photographing by the camera 91, the strobe light emission from the upper strobe unit 82, and the image projection (light emission) from the light source 101. 120.

Also in the imaging space described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10, the same imaging process as in FIG. 6 is executed.

However, in step S11, the control unit 120 controls the light source 101 and the light source 201 so that the light source 101 emits steady light (projection of the projector image CL101) and the light source 201 emits steady light (projection of the projector image CL101). CL 201 projection) is started.

11A and 11B are diagrams showing examples of photographed images obtained by slow-synchronized photographing in the photographing spaces of FIGS. 9 and 10. FIG.

A photographed image 250 shown in FIG. 11 includes two users U1 and U2 as subjects.

In the photographed image 250, the strobe light SL82 from the upper strobe unit 82 is applied to the portions centering on the faces of the users U1 and U2, so that the faces of the users U1 and U2 can be brightly photographed. . In addition, a projector image CL101 projected from the light source 101 can be captured by slow synchro photography on the portions centered below the necks of the users U1 and U2 (upper bodies excluding the faces). Furthermore, the projector image CL201 projected from the light source 201 can be captured in the background above the faces of the users U1 and U2 by slow synchro shooting.

In this way, in the above-described example, as in the conventional case, the user's face is brightly captured, and in addition, the well-designed stationary light emitted from the light sources 101 and 201 is captured to provide a novel image. It becomes possible to Also, the shadow of the user on the back panel 51 can be erased by the light from the light source 201 . 9 and 10, the light source 101 may be omitted and only the light source 201 may be provided.

<Modification>
Modifications of the above-described embodiment will be described below.

(light source)
In the above description, the light sources 101 and 201 are configured as projectors that project a predetermined image onto at least one of the user and the shooting space.

Not limited to this, at least one of the light sources 101 and 201 may be configured as an LED (Light Emitting Diode) light source that irradiates light of a predetermined color to at least one of the user and the shooting space. From this LED light source, monochromatic light may be emitted, or multi-colored light may be emitted. Moreover, when the light sources 101 and 201 are configured as white LED light sources, light of various colors may be emitted by covering the light emitting surface with a colored transparent film.

Also, the light sources 101 and 201 as LED light sources may be configured to irradiate light with a variable color temperature under the control of the control unit 120 .

(User's shooting position)
In the above description, the imaging position of the user in the imaging space is defined by the line SP.

In addition to this, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, a seat CH may be installed in the shooting space, and the user's shooting position may be defined by having the user sit on the seat CH. .

Further, as the photographing by the camera 91, photographing that defines the photographing position of the user (first photographing) and photographing that does not prescribe the photographing position (second photographing) may be performed. In photographing without specifying the photographing position, there is a possibility that the irradiation range of the strobe light and the stationary light irradiated to the user cannot be determined like the photographed image 150 in FIG. 7 and the photographed image 250 in FIG. Therefore, in photographing that defines the photographing position of the user, the user is photographed by the above-described slow synchro photographing.

As a result, it is possible to more reliably provide a novel image in which the user's face is brightly captured and the stationary light emitted from the light source with excellent design is captured.

Moreover, when the user's face occupies a large proportion of the photographed image, the range in which the stationary light emitted from the light source is captured becomes narrow. Therefore, it is preferable that the imaging that includes at least the user's upper body in the imaging range is performed as the imaging that defines the imaging position of the user.
