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

A. Configuration of Embodiment FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a head-mounted imaging device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a head-mounted imaging device 1 includes a communication control unit 10, an imaging unit 11, an image processing unit 14, a motor 15, a motor driver 16, an acceleration sensor 17, an external memory 18, a flash memory 19, an SDRAM 20, and a CPU 21. , A key operation unit 22, a voice control unit 23, a speaker 24, a microphone 25, a power source (battery) 26, and a power source control unit 27.

  The communication control unit 10 transfers the captured image data to a server on the Internet or an information processing apparatus such as a personal computer via the Internet. The communication control unit 10 can also transfer a live view image, an image being recorded, and the like to a playback display device 2 (described later) carried by the photographer on a peer-to-peer basis. The imaging unit 11 includes a lens block 12 including an optical lens group, and an imaging element 13 such as a CCD or a CMOS. The image sensor 13 converts the image entered from the lens block 12 into a digital signal. The image processing circuit 14 performs image processing (pixel interpolation processing, γ correction, generation of luminance and color difference signals, white balance processing, exposure correction processing, etc.), compression / decompression (for example, JPEG format, Motion-JPEG format or MPEG format compression / decompression).

  The motor 15 changes the shooting direction of the imaging unit 11 by driving the imaging unit 11 in the vertical direction (up and down direction) of the optical axis according to the control of the CPU 21. The motor driver 16 drives the motor 15 according to the control of the CPU 21. The acceleration sensor 17 detects the movement of the head-mounted imaging device 1 that is linked to the movement of the user's head (the elevation angle direction: the vertical direction with the horizontal axis as the rotation axis). The external memory 18 is a detachable recording medium, and stores image data captured by the imaging unit 11 and the like. The flash memory 19 is a recording medium that stores image data captured by the imaging unit 11. The SDRAM 20 is used as a buffer memory that temporarily stores image data sent to the CPU 21 after being imaged by the imaging unit 11 and is also used as a working memory for the CPU 21.

  The CPU 21 is a one-chip microcomputer that controls each part of the head-mounted imaging device 1, and performs still image shooting by the imaging unit 11, video recording start / stop, switching between still image shooting and moving image shooting, and the like. In particular, in the present embodiment, the CPU 21 determines, based on the detection result of the acceleration sensor 17, the amount of movement (angle) of the head-mounted imaging device 1 of the head-mounted imaging device 1 that is interlocked with the movement of the photographer's head in the elevation angle direction. ) Is calculated. As described above, when the head-mounted imaging device 1 is mounted on the photographer's head and the playback display device 2 (described later) is viewed in order to check a live view image or an image being recorded. When the photographer turns downward, the playback display device 2 is displayed in the captured field angle. The CPU 21 detects that the imaging unit 11 is directed downward based on the amount of movement (angle) of the head-mounted imaging device 1 obtained from the acceleration sensor 17 in the elevation angle direction, and the captured image When the reproduction display device 2 is reflected in the corner, the imaging unit 11 is driven by the motor 15 so that the imaging unit 11 faces the horizontal direction.

  In addition, when the photographer returns his / her line of sight again after confirming the live view image or the image being recorded, the image pickup apparatus 1 that has been oriented in the horizontal direction turns upward. Depending on the situation, only the sky will be reflected. Therefore, the CPU 21 captures an image with the motor 15 so that the image capturing unit 11 faces the horizontal direction again based on the amount of movement (angle) of the head-mounted image capturing apparatus 1 obtained from the acceleration sensor 17 in the elevation angle direction. The part 11 is driven downward.

  In this way, when the photographer turns down to view the playback display device to check the live view image or the image being recorded, or after checking the live view image or the image being recorded, Even when the photographer returns his line of sight to the horizontal direction again, the shooting direction by the imaging unit 11 is driven and controlled, so that it is possible to prevent the reproduction display device from being reflected and only the sky from being reflected. This makes it possible to easily photograph the object to be photographed.

  The key operation unit 22 inputs an operation mode, an operation instruction such as shooting start, pause, or stop according to a user's touch operation. Under the control of the CPU 13, the sound control unit 23 converts sound (notification sound or the like) at the time of captured moving image reproduction into an analog signal and outputs it from the speaker 24, while digitizing environmental sound collected by the microphone 25 at the time of moving image capturing. The power source (battery) 26 to be taken in is a rechargeable secondary battery. The power supply control unit 27 stabilizes the output voltage of the power supply (battery) 26 and supplies driving power to each unit.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the playback / display apparatus 2 according to the present embodiment. 2, the playback display device 2 includes a communication control unit 40, a display unit 41, a backlight 42, an LED 43, a key operation unit 44, an external memory 45, a flash memory 46, an SDRAM 47, a CPU 48, an audio control unit 49, a speaker 50, A microphone 51, a power supply (battery) 52, and a power supply control unit 53 are provided.

  The communication control unit 40 receives a live view image transmitted from the imaging device 1, an image being recorded, and the like on a peer-to-peer basis. The display unit 41 includes a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, and the like, and displays various information, a live view image from the imaging device 1, an image being recorded, or a video reproduced after recording. The backlight 42 is a light source that illuminates from the back surface of the liquid crystal display when the display unit 41 includes a transmissive liquid crystal display. The LED 43 blinks at a predetermined timing while a live view image transmitted from the imaging device 1 or an image being recorded is displayed under the control of the CPU 48. Specifically, the CPU 48 blinks the LED 43 in synchronization with the moving image shooting frame rate of the imaging apparatus 1. The synchronization signal may be transmitted from the imaging apparatus 1 to the playback display terminal 2 by wireless communication or may be included in a live view image or an image being recorded that is transmitted from the imaging apparatus 1. In the present embodiment, the imaging device 1 detects that the reproduction display device 2 is reflected in the captured video by detecting that the blinking of the LED 43 is reflected in the captured video. .

  The key operation unit 44 inputs an operation mode, an operation instruction such as shooting start, pause, and stop according to a user operation. The external memory 45 is a detachable recording medium, and stores image data captured by the imaging device 1 and the like. The flash memory 46 is a recording medium that stores image data captured by the imaging apparatus 1. The SDRAM 47 is used as a buffer memory for temporarily storing image data from the imaging apparatus 1 and is used as a working memory for the CPU 48.

Digitize and capture in captured video (post-recording). The power source (battery) 52 is a rechargeable secondary battery. The power supply control unit 53 stabilizes the output voltage of the power supply (battery) 52 according to the control of the CPU 48 and supplies driving power to each unit.

  FIGS. 3A and 3B are perspective views showing the appearance of the head-mounted imaging device 1 and the playback display device 2 according to the present embodiment. In FIG. 3A, the head-mounted imaging device 1 includes a headband 60, a casing 61, a casing 62, and the imaging unit 11. The user wears the head 61 so that the head 61 is worn and the housing 61 and the housing 62 cover the ears. The imaging unit 11 and the housing 61 are connected by a single horizontal axis so that the orientation (imaging direction) of the imaging unit 11 can be rotated in the elevation angle direction around the rotation axis 70 with respect to the housing 61. It is configured. The imaging unit 11 is rotated by a motor 15 built in the housing 61.

  In FIG. 3B, the playback display device 2 displays a live view image transmitted from the imaging device 1, an image being recorded, or a video being played on the display unit 41. Below the display unit 41, a key operation unit 44 for inputting operation instructions and the like is disposed. In addition, an LED 22 that blinks at predetermined time intervals during operation is disposed at the top of the housing. Therefore, when the user wearing the head-mounted imaging device 1 looks at the playback display device 2 with his head facing down in order to check a live view image or an image being recorded, the imaging unit of the imaging device 1 11, not only the display unit 41 of the playback display device 2 but also the LED 22 is reflected in the live view image by the player 11. Therefore, if the blinking of the LED 22 can be confirmed in the live view image, it can be determined that the user is looking at the playback display device 2 with his head facing down.

B. Operation of Embodiment Next, the operation of the above-described embodiment will be described.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the head-mounted imaging device 1 according to this embodiment (correction operation of the imaging unit 11 in the REC mode). FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the user holds the reproduction display terminal 2 in his hand and is looking at a subject to be photographed in the present embodiment. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a state immediately after the user turns downward to view the display unit 41 of the playback display terminal 2 in the present embodiment. FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the user is looking at the display unit 41 of the playback display terminal 2 in the present embodiment. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the user has returned the subject to the subject to be photographed in the present embodiment. In the following, since the moving image shooting operation by the imaging unit 11 is well known, the description thereof will be omitted, and only the correction operation for correcting the shooting direction of the imaging unit 11 will be described.

  First, after effectively setting the correction of the shooting direction, the user wears the head-mounted imaging device 1 on his / her head, holds the playback display device 2 in his / her hand, and operates the key operation unit of the imaging device 1. 22 and the key operation unit 44 of the reproduction display device 2 are operated to turn on both of them, the CPU 21 of the imaging device 1 executes the routine of the correction operation shown in FIG. In the reproduction display device 2, the LED 43 starts blinking at a predetermined cycle. As shown in FIG. 5, the user looks at the direction of the subject to be photographed. At this time, the shooting direction 80 of the imaging unit 11 and the user's line-of-sight direction 81 coincide. Therefore, the video image captured by the imaging unit 11 of the imaging device 1, that is, the video image of the subject to be captured is displayed on the display unit 41 of the reproduction display device 2.

  First, the CPU 21 of the imaging device 1 acquires a detection result from the acceleration sensor 17 (step S10). Next, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the imaging device 1 has moved downward based on the detection result acquired from the acceleration sensor 17 (step S12). If the imaging device 1 is not moving downward (NO in step S12), the CPU 21 determines that the user is looking at the direction of the subject to be photographed, as shown in FIG. 5, and returns to step S10. The above process is repeated.

  On the other hand, when the imaging device 1 moves downward (YES in step S12), the CPU 21 confirms the live view image that the user is capturing with the imaging unit 11 of the imaging device 1, as shown in FIG. Therefore, it is determined that the playback display device 2 is viewed with the face facing down, and the live view image captured by the imaging unit 11 is acquired (step S14). At this time, as shown in FIG. 6, the shooting direction 80 of the imaging unit 11 and the user's line-of-sight direction 81 are directed to the playback display device 2. Therefore, the playback display device 2 is reflected in the live view image of the imaging unit 11. Next, the CPU 21 checks whether or not the bright spot of the LED 43 of the reproduction display device 2 is reflected in the acquired live view image (step S16), and determines whether or not blinking of the LED is confirmed (step S16). S18). The details of the check of the bright spot of the LED 43 and the confirmation of the blinking of the LED 43 will be described later.

  If the blinking of the LED 43 of the playback display device 2 is not confirmed in the live view image (NO in step S18), it is determined that the user is looking down but is not looking at the playback display device 2, and the process proceeds to step S14. Returning, obtaining the live view image, checking the bright spot of the LED 43, and confirming the blinking of the LED 43 are repeated. Note that, as described above, it is always checked whether the LED 43 is blinking in the live view image to determine whether or not the reproduction display device 2 is viewed when the imaging device 1 moves downward. This is because the CPU 21 is burdened and wasteful processing is performed. In other words, when the imaging device 1 moves downward, it is possible to determine whether or not the playback display device 2 is efficiently viewed by checking whether the LED 43 is blinking or not.

  Then, when the blinking of the LED 43 of the playback display device 2 is confirmed in the live view image (YES in step S18), the CPU 21 drives the motor 15 via the motor driver 16, and as shown in FIG. The image pickup unit 11 is rotated upward by the amount moved downward, and is substantially in a substantially horizontal state (step S20). At this time, in a state where the user's line-of-sight direction 81 faces the playback display device 2, the shooting direction 80 of the imaging unit 11 faces the direction of the subject. Therefore, the video image captured by the imaging unit 11 of the imaging device 1, that is, the video image of the subject to be captured is displayed on the display unit 41 of the reproduction display device 2. The user can check the video of the subject on the display unit 41 of the playback display device 2.

  Next, the CPU 21 acquires a detection result from the acceleration sensor 17 (step S22). Next, the CPU 21 determines whether the imaging device 1 has moved upward based on the detection result acquired from the acceleration sensor 17 (step S24). If the imaging device 1 is not moving upward (NO in step S24), the CPU 21 determines that the user is still looking at the reproduction display device 2 (facing downward), and proceeds to step S22. Return and repeat the process described above.

  On the other hand, when the imaging device 1 moves upward (YES in step S24), the CPU 21 stops viewing the playback display device 2 and directs the line-of-sight direction 81 toward the subject as shown in FIG. The motor 15 is driven via the motor driver 16, and the imaging unit 11 is rotated downward by the amount moved upward, so that it is substantially nearly horizontal (step S26). Thereby, as shown in FIG. 8, the imaging direction 80 of the imaging unit 11 is directed toward the subject. Then, it returns to step S10 and repeats the process mentioned above.

  FIG. 9 is a time chart showing a moving image frame of the imaging apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment and LED blinking of the reproduction display apparatus 2. In FIG. 9, the horizontal axis shows the time series of moving image shooting frames F1, F2, F3,..., F11,. The vertical axis represents the amount of light. The imaging device 13 of the imaging device 1 performs exposure according to the amount of light of the subject for each frame. The “exposure time of the image sensor 13” represents the exposure time of the image sensor 13 in each frame when the user is viewing the display unit 42 of the playback display device 2. The LED 43 of the reproduction display device 2 blinks in synchronization with the shooting frame in the imaging device 1. This is to facilitate detection by the imaging apparatus 1. The synchronization signal is transmitted from the imaging device 1 to the reproduction display device 2 by wireless communication.

  The “lighting time of the LED 43 of the reproduction display device 2” indicates the amount of light when the LED 43 of the reproduction display device 2 is lit in synchronization with the moving image shooting frame. Further, the “display screen of the display unit 42 of the reproduction display device 2” is displayed on the display unit 42 in each frame immediately after the user turns downward to see the display unit 42 of the reproduction display device 2 (before correction). The image is shown. That is, the reproduction display device 2 itself is displayed on the display unit 42 of the reproduction display device 2. The white circles indicate the LEDs 43 that are turned on, and the black circles indicate the LEDs 43 that are turned off.

  The image pickup device 13 is exposed in each frame for the period of “exposure time of the image pickup device 13”. For this reason, the image sensor 13 can receive the light of the LED 43 by an amount indicated by “the amount of received light of the LED light captured by the image sensor 13” in each frame. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 9, the lighting of the LED 43 can be recognized by checking the live view image (or recorded image) every four frames, such as the frame F2, the frame F6, and the frame F10. Further, when the live view image (or recorded image) is confirmed every four frames, such as the frame F3, the frame F7, and the frame F11, it can be recognized that the LED 43 is turned off. By doing in this way, blinking of LED43 and another light source can be distinguished and identified. Further, since it is only necessary to confirm the blinking of the LED 43 every several frames, the processing load for detection can be reduced.

  In the embodiment described above, the blinking detection processing of the LED 43 of the reproduction display device 2 is performed on the imaging device 1 side, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be performed on the reproduction display device 2 side. In this case, the reproduction display device 2 transmits the blinking detection result of the LED 43 to the imaging device 1, and the imaging device 1 motorizes the imaging unit 11 based on the blinking detection result of the LED 43 transmitted from the reproduction display device 2. 15 to prevent the reproduction display device 2 from being reflected.

  In the above-described embodiment, the imaging device 1 and the reproduction display device 2 communicate wirelessly. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and wired communication may be performed. Moreover, in embodiment mentioned above, it has detected by blinking of LED43 that the reproduction | regeneration display apparatus 2 is reflected in the picked-up image, but if it is a marker which can identify the reproduction | regeneration display apparatus 2 without being limited to LED43, for example, It may be a barcode, a two-dimensional barcode (QR code (registered trademark)), or the like.

  According to the above-described embodiment, when the user turns the face toward the playback display device 2 to check the live view image, the imaging device detects that the playback display device 2 itself is reflected in the live view image. Since the orientation of the first imaging unit 11 is changed so that the imaging direction of the imaging unit 11 is directed to the object to be imaged, the object to be imaged can be easily obtained even in the head-mounted imaging device 1. And it can shoot reliably.

  Further, according to the above-described embodiment, the load on the imaging device 1 side can be reduced by performing the blinking detection process of the LED 43 of the playback display device 2 on the playback display device 2 side.

  In addition, according to the above-described embodiment, after detecting that the shooting direction of the imaging unit 11 has changed, it is determined whether or not the playback display device 2 itself is reflected in the live view image. There is no need to check the live view image, and unnecessary processing can be eliminated, and the processing load can be reduced.

  Further, according to the above-described embodiment, since the change in the shooting direction of the imaging unit 11 is detected by the acceleration sensor that detects the movement of the imaging device 1, the shooting direction of the imaging unit 11 can be easily changed. Changes can be detected.

  Further, according to the above-described embodiment, it is determined whether or not the reproduction display device 2 is reflected in the captured image based on whether or not the blinking of the LED 43 provided in the reproduction display device 2 is reflected in the captured image. Since it did in this way, it can distinguish and identify blinking of another LED and LED43, and the processing load for a detection can be reduced.
