Signals indicating these operations are input to the control unit 9 as operation signals.

  The coin processing unit 35 detects insertion of a coin into a coin insertion slot. When the coin processing unit 35 detects that coins of the amount required for play (for the play fee) have been inserted, the coin processing unit 35 outputs an activation signal indicating this to the control unit 9. In addition, the coin processing unit 35 may receive payment of a play fee by electronic money or a credit card, and output the activation signal to the control unit 9.

  The imaging unit 1 includes an illumination control unit 18 that performs an imaging process in the imaging space 10, an upper camera 111a, a lower camera 111b, a monitor 113, and a speaker 19.

  The upper camera 111a and the lower camera 111b perform shooting under the control of the control unit 9, and output an image obtained by shooting to the control unit 9. As described above, the upper camera 111a is for photographing the subject from above, and the lower camera 111b is for photographing the subject from the front. Therefore, for each of the cameras 111a and 111b, an ideal angle of view, a trimming range, and the like are set in advance to obtain an optimal image. In particular, for the upper camera 111a, as described above, in order to change the angle of view according to the type of shooting, the control unit 9 also controls the motor that drives the zoom ring. Each of the cameras 111a and 111b captures an image in real time and outputs an image signal representing the image. The image signal output from each of the cameras 111a and 111b is input to the control unit 9 and is temporarily stored in an internal memory thereof, and is also transmitted to the monitor 113 to display a live video based on the image signal. . Actually, photographed image data stored as a still image (hereinafter, also simply referred to as a “photographed image”) is high-resolution still image data, and photographed image data for live video display (“ The “through image data” is often low-resolution moving image data, but may be high-resolution moving image data.

  Further, in the photographing section 1, correction of a photographed image is also performed as described later. That is, the monitor 113 displays the correction candidates of the captured image, and the correction candidates selected by the user are input to the control unit 9 as signals. Then, the control unit 9 performs image processing of the captured image data based on the selected correction candidate, and transmits the captured image data to the monitor 113. As a result, the monitor 113 displays the image-processed captured image.

  The illumination control unit 18 controls strobe light emitted from the front illumination unit 115 and the ceiling illumination unit in the imaging space 10 according to the illumination control signal supplied from the control unit 9.

<7. Processing procedure in the photography amusement device>
Subsequently, a playing method and image processing of the photographing game apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described. As described above, the photographing and amusement device includes the photographing unit 1, the editing unit 2, the play preparation unit 3, and the output unit 4. The play preparation unit 3 inputs predetermined information before shooting, and the shooting unit 1 performs shooting processing. Then, the editing unit 2 performs an editing process described later, and the output unit 4 performs an output process. These processes are performed by the control unit 9 executing a program stored in the storage unit 5 or the external drive 7 or an installed program. Hereinafter, first, the flow of play and the movement of the user accompanying the play will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, and then each process will be described in detail.

<7-1. Flow of play>
Hereinafter, the flow of play will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, first, the user performs play preparation processing by the play preparation unit 3 arranged on the left side wall 13 of the frame 100 as shown by the arrow A. When the user inserts a predetermined amount of coins into the coin insertion slot 33 while the demonstration image is being displayed on the monitor 32 of the play preparation housing 31 (YES in step S100), play is started, and play preparation processing starts (step S100). S110). Then, when predetermined information such as selection of a shooting course and a background image is input, the user moves to the shooting space 10 using the first entrance 101a as shown by an arrow B. At this time, a display or notification is displayed on the monitor 32 of the play preparation housing 31 to prompt the user to move to the shooting space 10 (step S120). For example, when the photographing space 10 is not used by another user, a display or the like prompting the user to move to the photographing space 10 is performed. On the other hand, when another user exists in the photographing space 10, display or the like is performed so as to wait for movement to the photographing space 10.

  Subsequently, the user enters the photographing space 10 and performs photographing processing using the cameras 111a and 111b and the monitor 113 provided in the photographing unit 1 (step S130). Then, the user who has completed the photographing process exits the apparatus from the photographing space 10 using the first and second entrances 101a and 101b as shown by arrows C, and then moves to one of the editing spaces 20a and 20b. . At this time, the monitor 113 and the speaker 19 of the photographing housing 11 display or notify the user to move to the editing spaces 20a and 20b (step S140). For example, when neither of the editing spaces 20a and 20b is used by the user, a display or the like prompting the user to move to one of the editing spaces is performed. When a user exists in one of the editing spaces 20a and 20b, a display for prompting the user to move to an empty editing space is performed. When both of the editing spaces 20a and 20b are used by the user, a display or the like is performed so as to wait for movement to the editing spaces 20a and 20b.

  The user who has moved to the editing spaces 20a and 20b starts the editing process. The user of each editing space 20a, 20b can perform editing processing at the same time. The user performs an editing process on the synthesized image obtained by synthesizing the background image selected in the play preparation process as the background of the subject image (an image obtained by extracting the subject portion from the photographed image) (step S150). When the editing process is completed, printing of an image including the edited composite image is started (step S160). Subsequently, a display urging the user to move to the output space 30 is displayed on the editing monitor 213 of the editing housing 21, and a sound urging the user to move to the output space 40 is notified by the speaker 215 (step S170). In accordance with this, the user who has completed the editing process moves from any one of the editing spaces 20a and 20b to the output space 40 as shown by the arrow D, and waits for printing to be completed. If another user is performing output processing in the output space 40, a display or a notification is made by the editing monitor 213 and the speaker 215 to wait for movement to the output space 40. Further, the printing process can be started after the notification prompting the user to move to the output space 40.

  In the output space 40, an operation (for example, input of an e-mail address) for enabling the user to obtain the image generated by the play on the portable terminal while the user waits for the image to be printed is performed on the monitor 411. (Step S180). When the printing of the image is completed, the user receives the seal paper from the seal paper outlet 413 provided in the output housing 41 and ends a series of play. The display for prompting the user to move as described above is performed by the control unit 9.

<7-2 Play preparation processing>
Next, details of the play preparation processing shown in step S110 of FIG. 7 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the procedure of the play preparation process in the present embodiment.

  When a coin is inserted and play is started, the control unit 9 displays a shooting course on the monitor 32 of the play preparation housing 31. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, two types of shooting courses, that is, a first shooting course and a second shooting course are displayed on the monitor 32, and the user selects one of them (step S200). Each of these shooting courses includes face-up shooting and whole body shooting as described above, but the method of whole body shooting is different. That is, when the first photography course is selected, the whole body is photographed by the upper camera 111a. On the other hand, when the second photographing course is selected, the whole body is photographed by the lower camera 111b.

  When the selection of the shooting course is completed, a screen prompting the input of the name is displayed on the monitor 32. Although not shown, a list of hiragana, katakana, and alphabets is displayed on the monitor, and the user inputs a name as appropriate from this screen (step S210). The name input here is used, for example, as information for creating a name stamp which is one of the graffiti tools used in the editing process.

  When the input of the name is completed, a screen prompting the selection of the background image is displayed on the monitor 32. For example, in the example of FIG. 10, background images related to four themes are set, and each theme includes six types of background image sets 343. Each background image set 343 includes six types of background images, which correspond to six captured images described later. The screens showing the four themes can be switched by touching the tab 341 displayed at the top of the monitor 32. The user selects one of the background image sets within a predetermined time (step S220).

  When the selection of the background image set is completed in this way, a display is displayed on the monitor 113 prompting the photographing unit 1 to move to the photographing space 10. The background image set includes two rectangular background images for first face-up imaging, a circular background image for second face-up imaging, and two rectangular background images for full-body imaging, which will be described later. The background images for the first and second face-up photography have the same design regardless of which of the first and second photography courses is selected. On the other hand, the background image for full-body imaging has a different design depending on which of the first and second imaging courses is selected. Specifically, in the case of the first shooting course in which the subject is photographed from above, the background image is designed to have a depth so that the subject can be seen from above, and the subject is photographed from slightly below the front. In the case of the second photographing course, the background image is designed to have a depth such that it can be seen that the subject is photographed from slightly below the front.

  In the example described above, three types of information are input by the user in the play preparation processing. However, input of other information, for example, input of a mail address or the like may be performed.

<7-3 Shooting process>
Next, details of the photographing process shown in step S130 of FIG. 7 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of a photographing process according to the present embodiment.

  When the user enters the shooting space, the control unit 9 shoots three types of images. When the first shooting course is selected (YES in step S300), two types of face-up shooting by upper camera 111a and whole body shooting by upper camera 111a are performed. On the other hand, when the second shooting course is selected (NO in step S300), two types of face-up shooting by the upper camera 111a and whole body shooting by the lower camera 111b are performed.

  First, two types of face-up shooting will be described. This shooting is the same regardless of which shooting course is selected. First, the first face-up shooting is performed. The control unit 9 drives the motor provided in the upper camera 111a, rotates the zoom ring, and sets an angle of view suitable for face-up shooting (step S310). At this time, a screen as shown in FIG. 12 is displayed on the monitor 113. The user performs photographing while watching a photographed moving image (through image) displayed in real time in the rectangular photographed image display area 1131 of this screen. The through image displayed in the captured image display area 1131 is an image captured by the upper camera 111a, and is an image in which a subject image extracted from a captured image and a background image are synthesized by chroma key processing (hereinafter, referred to as a “through image”). , A composite image). This background image is a background image included in the background image set selected by the play preparation unit, and is a rectangular background image for the first face-up shooting. Although illustration is omitted, a screen for guidance is displayed on the monitor 113 in order to guide the user to a position suitable for face-up shooting before displaying the through image.

  This face-up shooting (acquisition of a still image) is performed twice consecutively (step S320). At this time, at the timing of shooting (fixing the displayed through image as a still image), the strobes of the front lighting unit 115 and the ceiling lighting unit other than the foot strobe 115E emit light.

  The photographing is performed by releasing the shutter at predetermined time intervals while performing countdown while indicating the number of seconds display 1132. That is, a control signal is transmitted from the control unit 9 to the upper camera 111a to perform photographing. Then, thumbnails of the captured rectangular images are sequentially displayed in the thumbnail display area 1133 at the bottom of the screen. This thumbnail is a thumbnail of the above-described composite image. In this way, the captured image data of the two types of images is generated by the two capturing operations and stored in the memory. The image captured here is hereinafter referred to as a first face-up image. The first face-up image data stored in the memory is data including a subject image extracted by chroma key processing (chroma key mask) and a selected background image. This point is the same in the following photographing.

  Next, a second face-up shooting is performed (step S330). The difference from the first face-up photographing is the shape of the image to be photographed. The monitor 113 displays a circular photographed image display area 1131. That is, in the second face-up shooting, a circular image is generated. There are various methods for generating such a circular image. For example, regarding image data, for example, in a rectangular subject image subjected to chroma key processing and a rectangular background image, an area to be made circular may be used. The alpha value corresponding to each pixel is set to “255”, and the alpha value corresponding to each peripheral pixel is set to “0”. Accordingly, the periphery of the subject image and the background image becomes transparent, and a circular subject image and a background image can be generated. Note that the through image is circular by superimposing on the rectangular through image an image that is the same as or larger than the rectangular through image and in which a circular transparent region is formed. Through images are realized.

  As in the case of the first face-up shooting, the shooting is performed by releasing the shutter at predetermined time intervals while showing the number of seconds display 1132 and performing countdown. The same is true for lighting. Then, thumbnails of the shot circular images are sequentially displayed in the thumbnail display area 1133 at the bottom of the screen following the first face-up image. In this way, the captured image data of the two types of images is generated by the two capturing operations and stored in the memory. The image captured here is hereinafter referred to as a second face-up image. The subject image and the background image data included in the second face-up image data stored in the memory are, for example, square, but include information regarding an alpha channel for making the image look circular.

  Subsequently, when the first photographing course is selected, the whole body is photographed by the upper camera 111a. Prior to this, the control unit 9 drives a motor provided in the upper camera 111a, rotates the zoom ring, and sets an angle of view suitable for whole-body imaging (step S340). More specifically, the angle of view is set to be wider than the angle of view set during face-up shooting. In addition, the monitor 113 displays a guidance screen on the monitor 113 to guide the user to a position suitable for full-body imaging. Then, the whole body is photographed in the same manner as when the face-up image is photographed (step S350). That is, a through image is displayed in the photographed image display area 1131, and the user performs two whole body photographings while watching the through image. The image taken here is hereinafter referred to as a first whole body image. As described above, the first whole body image is an image photographed such that the face is near and the feet are far away.

  On the other hand, when the second shooting course is selected (NO in step S300), a total of four shootings are performed by two types of face-up shooting using the upper camera 111a, similarly to the first shooting course (steps S360 to S360). S380). Subsequently, the whole body is photographed twice by the lower camera 111b (step S390). At this time, the angle of view and the like of the lower camera 111b are set in advance. The image captured here is hereinafter referred to as a second whole body image. As described above, the second whole body image is an image photographed from slightly below the front, and is an image photographed so that the leg of the subject looks long.

  Thus, in any of the photographing courses, photographed image data relating to six images is generated by a total of six photographings and stored in the memory. In the thumbnail display area 1133, a total of six thumbnails are displayed, two each of the first face-up image, the second face-up image, and the composite image relating to the whole body image.

  Subsequently, if the photographing time still remains after the photographing is completed (YES in step S400), a bonus shot is photographed (step S410). The bonus shot is performed by full-body shooting on the selected course. In addition, you may provide the whole body imaging | photography of the person who did not image | photograph in the selected course as a bonus shot. The background image used in the bonus shot is determined according to the background image set 343 selected in FIG.

<7-4 First correction process>
When all the photographing is completed in this way, a first correction process is performed on the obtained photographed image (step S420). First, a screen for prompting a first correction process of a captured image is displayed on the monitor 113. There are various modes for correcting the captured image. Here, a screen as shown in FIG. 13 is displayed on the monitor 113 in order to correct the brightness of the captured image and the size of the eyes of the subject included in the captured image. Is done. As shown in the figure, a second face-up image that has already been taken is displayed as a preview image 1134 on the left side of the screen, and a correction sample button showing three types of eye sizes is displayed on the right side of the screen. 1135 and a correction sample button 1136 indicating five types of brightness are displayed. Note that the preview image is an image for allowing the user to confirm the details of the correction. Here, three different correction samples are set as eye sizes, but the correction is not limited to the eye size as long as the correction is for the eyes. For example, as the correction sample, for example, a plurality of samples, which are appropriately adjusted for makeup, eye line, eyelash, eye shadow, iris, etc., can be prepared.

  Then, when one of the correction sample buttons 1135 and 1136 is touched, the second face-up image to which the eye correction and the brightness correction corresponding to the touched correction sample button have been performed is displayed as the preview image 1134. If another correction sample button is touched, the corrected second face-up image is displayed as preview image 1134. Therefore, the user can check the size and brightness of the eyes using his / her face-up image. In particular, by using a face-up image in which a face is largely displayed as a preview image, there is an effect that the size of the eyes can be more easily checked.

  In this example, the second face-up image is used as a preview image. However, the user can switch to another captured image by touching the preview image 1134. In addition, face detection is performed from all acquired captured images, and one captured image in which the most faces are detected, or one image in which the average value of the sizes of all faces included in the captured image is the largest. Can be used as a preview image to be displayed first. Furthermore, individual authentication can be performed from all acquired captured images, and face images of all users who have been determined to be different persons can be displayed as preview images.

  When the user presses the OK button 1137, the correction selected immediately before pressing the OK button 1137 is performed on all captured images, and the corrected image data is stored in the memory. If the OK button 1137 is not pressed, the correction selected at that time is performed on all captured images after a predetermined time has elapsed. In this way, the corrected image data is stored in the memory, and the first correction processing on the size and brightness of the eyes is completed.

  Note that a known image processing technique can be used for the correction processing. For example, for eye correction, an area corresponding to the eye is detected from the image, and image processing is performed so as to adjust the size of the eye and the like so that this area matches the selected correction sample.

<7-5 Second correction process>
Next, when the second shooting course is selected (YES in step S430), a second correction process is performed (step S440). First, a screen for prompting a second correction process of the whole body image taken in the second shooting course is displayed on the monitor 113. Here, a screen as shown in FIG. 14 is displayed on the monitor 113 to correct the leg length. As shown in the figure, on the left side of the screen, a whole body image that has already been taken is displayed as a preview image 1138, and on the right side of the screen, three types of leg lengths (for example, a long (Long, very long).

  Then, when one of the correction sample buttons 1139 is touched, a whole body image in which the leg length corresponding to the touched correction sample button has been corrected is displayed as a preview image 1138. If another correction sample button is touched, the corrected whole body image is displayed as preview image 1138. Therefore, the user can confirm the length of the leg using his / her whole body image.

  When the OK button 1140 is pressed, the correction selected immediately before pressing the OK button 1140 is performed on the whole body image, and the corrected image data is stored in the memory. If the OK button 1140 is not pressed, the correction selected at that time is applied to the whole body image after a predetermined time has elapsed, the corrected image data is stored in the memory, and the leg length is set. Then, the second correction process for the correction is completed.

  Note that a known image processing technique can be used for the correction processing relating to the leg length. For example, a region corresponding to the leg is detected from the image, and image processing is performed so as to adjust the length of the leg so that the region matches the selected correction sample.

  When the second correction process is completed in this manner, the monitor 113 displays a message prompting the user to move to one of the editing spaces 20a, 20b of the editing unit 2, and the speaker 19 transmits the message to the editing spaces 20a, 20b. A notification to move is given. The generated captured images are transmitted to the editing unit 2. In the above-described example, a total of six shootings were performed, but the number of shootings is not particularly limited.

  As described above, when the second shooting course is selected, the second correction processing is performed. When the first shooting course is selected (NO in step S430), the second correction processing is performed. And the photographing process ends. That is, a display is displayed on the monitor 113 prompting the user to move to one of the editing spaces 20a and 20b of the editing unit 2.

<7-6. Editing process>
When the photographing process is completed, the editing process is started. Here, a configuration of a screen appearing on the editing monitor 213 when performing the editing process will be described. Hereinafter, the screen configuration of the editing monitor 213 for such graffiti will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram showing an editing screen of an image to be edited displayed on the editing monitor.

  As shown in FIG. 15, on the editing screen, the editing monitor 213 is divided into a pair of left and right editing spaces so that two users can use them in parallel. In the editing space on the left side of the editing monitor 213, input by the left touch pen 214A can be accepted, and in the editing space on the right side, input by the right touch pen 214B can be accepted. In the upper center of each editing space, there is provided a rectangular graffiti area 501 for displaying a composite image to be edited and compositing (graffitting) a compositing image such as a stamp with the composite image. Above each graffiti area 501, thumbnails 502 of six composite images (first and second face-up images, composite images related to the whole body image) are displayed, and one composite image selected from the thumbnails is displayed. Is displayed in the graffiti area 501.

  An edit button is arranged on the side of the graffiti area 501. Specifically, an “end” button 503, an eraser button 504, a “forward” button 505, a “back” button 506, and a “mobile” button 507 are arranged from the top. An “end” button 503 is a button for ending the editing. When the “end” button 503 is pressed, the editing process is spontaneously ended, and the process shifts to an output process. Four types of eraser buttons 504 are arranged, and three types of size eraser buttons and an "all erase" button for erasing all graffiti are arranged. For example, when one of the size eraser buttons is pressed with the touch pens 214A and 214B, the size eraser is set. In this state, if the graffiti area 501 is traced with the touch pens 214A and 214B, the graffiti in the traced portion is erased. It has become. Pressing the "Erase All" button erases all graffiti.

  A “return” button 506 is a button for canceling the previous graffiti processing and returning to the original state, and a “forward” button 505 conversely restores the graffiti processing immediately before pressing the “return” button 506. Button. A “mobile” button 507 is a button for transitioning to a mobile editing screen described later.

  A timer 508 for countdown is provided between the left and right edit buttons. Various settings can be made for this timer. For example, a basic time limit (for example, 300 seconds) for performing graffiti editing is set in advance, and a countdown starts at the same time that graffiti editing is started. Can be configured to forcibly end the graffiti editing when it becomes. Alternatively, when there is no user in the photographing unit 1, that is, when there is no subsequent user waiting for the editing operation, the editing operation may be performed without limitation without performing the countdown, or the maximum time limit (for example, 20 minutes) ) May be set so that editing work can be performed up to the maximum time limit. However, in such a state, when a photographing process is started by a new user in a state where a subsequent user is present in the other editing unit 2, the photographing process is set in advance according to the start of the photographing process. It is preferable to start a countdown from a time (for example, 60 seconds). This timer 508 is common to the left and right users, and the editing processing time of both users is managed by one timer 508.

  Below the graffiti area 501, a palette 509 for selecting a tool for performing graffiti editing is arranged. The pallet 509 is divided into a plurality of areas. First, a category area 510 in which a plurality of categories are displayed is arranged in the upper part of the palette 509. Here, five categories of “recommended”, “stamp”, “pen”, “message”, and “make” are displayed as examples.

  Below the category area 510, a detailed tool area 511 is arranged, and graffiti tools related to the respective categories are displayed. For example, when the category “stamp” is selected, various types of stamps (tools) are displayed. Six types of buttons (A to F) 512 are arranged in the upper part of this area, and tool buttons 513 displaying a plurality of types of stamps are arranged below them. A tool edit button and a size adjustment button 518 are arranged beside the tool button 513.

  The type button 512 is for further classifying the selected category. FIG. 15 shows a plurality of stamps corresponding to one type button. Similarly, when another type button is pressed, a different type of stamp is displayed in the same category. For example, when performing the graffiti processing in a state in which the tool of FIG. 15 is displayed, one of the tools is pressed down with the touch pens 214A and 214B to select the tool, and then, the touch pen 214A or 214B is used to select any tool in the graffiti area 501. Press the position of. As a result, the selected tool is displayed at the pressed position in the graffiti area 501. Once a tool is set, it is maintained until another tool is selected.

  The tool edit button has four types of buttons. From the top, a first rotation button 514, a second rotation button 515, and a reversing button 516 are arranged, and a size adjustment button 518 is arranged on the side. The first rotation button 514 is for rotating the selected tool about an axis perpendicular to the screen, and the second rotation button 515 is for rotating the selected tool about an axis extending up and down in parallel with the screen. (Rotate in the depth direction). The inversion button 516 is for inverting the left and right of the tool displayed in the graffiti area. The size adjustment button 518 is used to determine the size of a tool to be displayed in the graffiti area 501, and five sizes are displayed. For example, when a stamp is selected as a category and the size adjustment button 518 is pressed, and then one of the tools is selected, a stamp corresponding to the selected size is displayed in the graffiti area 501.

  Here, the processing when “make” is selected in the category area 510 will be described with reference to FIG. When the “make” button is pressed in the editing space on the right side of FIG. 16, a type button 512 corresponding to the make is displayed below the “make” button. Here, as an example, a process when the leftmost eye make button is pressed will be described.

  When the eye makeup button is pressed, three eye makeup samples, that is, a natural eye, a rich eye, and an impact eye, are displayed below the eye makeup button, and a sample before graffiti without eye makeup is displayed on the right side thereof. . Further, on the left side of the sample, a face image example is displayed so that the image of the eye makeup before and after selecting any sample can be understood. At this time, face detection is performed on the image in which the graffiti area 501 is displayed, and a rectangular frame 588 indicating the face is displayed on the detected face.

  When one of the three eye makeup samples described above is touched and then the frame 588 (or face) of the graffiti area 501 is touched, the selected eye makeup sample is reflected on the image of the graffiti area 501. More specifically, image processing corresponding to the selected eye makeup sample (hereinafter referred to as “eye makeup processing”) is performed on the face corresponding to the frame 588 touched. As illustrated in FIG. 16, when two images of faces are included in the image of the graffiti area 501 and two frames 588 corresponding to the respective faces are displayed, only the face corresponding to the touched frame 588 is displayed. The face corresponding to another frame 588 that has been subjected to makeup processing and not touched is not subjected to eye makeup processing. Further, in this case, if any of the frames 588 is sequentially touched while any eye makeup sample is being selected, the eye makeup process corresponding to the touched sample is performed on the face corresponding to each frame 588. When each frame 588 is touched after touching the “OFF” button, the eye makeup process performed on the face corresponding to the touched frame 588 is removed, and the state returns to the state before the eye makeup was performed.

  In addition, instead of the above, eye makeup can be applied in the following manner. First, after touching one of the frames 588 corresponding to the face to which the eye makeup is to be applied, one of the eye makeup samples is touched. Then, an eye makeup process corresponding to the selected eye makeup sample is performed on the face corresponding to the touched frame 588. At this time, if another eye makeup sample is touched before touching another frame 588 or switching to another graffiti tool, the face corresponding to the touched frame 588 is added to the sample. A corresponding eye makeup process is performed. That is, if another face is not selected, the eye makeup process for a predetermined face can be selected again until the user likes. Then, when another frame is touched, the eye makeup sample selected immediately before is fixed as eye makeup. Of course, by touching the first frame 588 again, the eye makeup can be changed again. In addition, if an "OFF" button is touched, it will return to the image before applying eye makeup.

  There are various image processing methods, for example, the following method. First, an eye is detected from a captured image, and a pixel value is changed in an area having a constant width outward from the detected outline of the eye (hereinafter, referred to as an “eyelash area”). Note that the width of the eyelash region is determined based on the size of the face and eyes in the captured image. More specifically, the width of the eyelash region is set longer as the size of the face or eyes is larger, and the width of the eyelash region is set shorter as the size of the face or eyes is smaller. In addition, since the upper lash region is generally wider than the lower lash region, it is preferable to set the width of the region corresponding to the upper lash to the lash region longer than the width of the region corresponding to the lower lash. . As described above, a photographed image in which the upper eyelashes and the lower eyelashes are appropriately emphasized can be obtained. However, when it is not desired to change the eye color, the pixel value may be changed except for each pixel included in the detected outline of the eye. In the above-described example, the pixel value of the eyelash region is changed so that the color becomes darker as the color goes toward the natural eye, the rich eye, and the impact eye. Thus, the eyes can be emphasized without performing a process of changing the size of the eyes. Note that the degree to which the pixel value is changed can be changed according to the type of the captured image. For example, in the face-up image, since the face, that is, the eyes are displayed large, the pixel value is not changed much. On the other hand, in the whole-body image, since the eyes are displayed small, the degree of changing the pixel value is made larger than in the case of the face-up image. This makes it possible to perform eye correction that satisfies the user even in the whole-body image.

  The above screen configuration is the same for the left and right editing spaces. The user appropriately selects an image to be edited from the thumbnail 502 to be edited and displays the image in the graffiti area 501. Then, an editing operation is performed on the displayed composite image.

  In this way, the user performs graffiti until the remaining time of the timer 46 becomes 0 (or the user performs an operation to end). Then, when the remaining time of the timer becomes 0 or when the user touches the end button to voluntarily end the graffiti, the display of "graffiti end" appears on the editing monitor 213. Then, at that time, the composite image edited on the editing screen is set as an edited image (image for output), the edited image data relating to the edited image is stored in the memory, and the editing process ends. Here, the generated edited image is combined with the previously selected print sheet, and is output as a print sheet or data by an output process described later.

<7-7. Mobile mode>
<7-7-1. Image created in mobile mode>
Next, the mobile mode described above will be described. In the mobile mode, image data used on a user screen provided by an SNS (Social Networking Service) can be generated. For example, in SNSs such as Facebook (registered trademark), Twitter (registered trademark), and Line (registered trademark), a personal site is provided to a user who has acquired an account. It is configured as follows. That is, as shown in FIG. 17, the cover image 81 is arranged at the top of the top screen. As the cover image 81, any image can be used as the cover image 81. The setting is made according to the image of the personal site or the user's preference. Further, an icon image 82 is arranged so as to overlap with the cover image 81. The icon image 82 is used, for example, to represent the individual user, and a photograph of the user's own face is often used. As described above, the cover image 81 and the icon image 82 are often displayed on the top screen of recent SNSs, including the three SNSs described above, although the size and the arrangement position are different. Therefore, in the mobile mode, a cover image and an icon image that can be used in the SNS are created.

<7-7-2. Editing images in mobile mode>
Next, editing of a screen in the mobile mode will be described. When the mobile mode button 507 (see FIGS. 15 and 16) is pressed in the editing space on the right side of the editing screen, a mobile mode selection screen 601 is displayed as shown in FIG. This screen is a screen for selecting which of a cover image and an icon image is to be created. For example, when the “cover image” button is pressed and the OK button is pressed, the screen transitions to a cover image creation screen. When the “icon image” button is pressed and the OK button is pressed, the screen transitions to an icon image creation screen. At this time, when the “quit” button is pressed, the screen is changed to the original screen, that is, the same screen as the editing space on the left side. When the mobile mode button 507 is touched in both editing spaces, a selection screen 601 is displayed in both editing spaces.

  When the "cover image" button is pressed on the selection screen 601 in FIG. 18, for example, a first cover image creation screen 602 is displayed in the right editing space as shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, a plurality of (here, nine types) cover image samples are displayed on this screen. The plurality of samples displayed here are prepared based on the background image set selected by the play preparation unit 3. That is, a cover image sample most suitable for the selected background image set, for example, a cover image sample having uniformity in design, color, and the like is displayed. Then, when the user touches any of the cover image samples and presses the OK button, the display transits to the second cover image creation screen. At this time, if the “quit” button is pressed, the screen returns to the selection screen of FIG. 18, and if the “quit mobile mode” button is pressed, the screen changes to the same screen as the editing space on the left. This operation is the same for the following screens.

  When the OK button is pressed on the first cover image creation screen 602 shown in FIG. 19, for example, a second cover image creation screen 603 shown in FIG. 20 is displayed in the right editing space. As shown in the figure, on this screen, six thumbnails are displayed at the top. These thumbnails are thumbnails of six subject images created in the photographing process, and the background images are not combined. A preview screen is arranged below the preview screen. On the preview screen, a decorative image for cover 951 that is a base image for creating a sample of the cover image selected on the first cover image creation screen 602 is displayed. The decorative image for cover 951 has an image space 701. Then, the subject images selected from the six thumbnails are arranged in the image space 701.

  More specifically, when one of the six thumbnails is touched, the subject image of the touched thumbnail is arranged below the decorative image for cover 951 displayed on the preview screen. That is, with respect to the subject image, a portion overlapping the image arrangement space 701 of the cover decoration image 951 is displayed, but other portions are hidden by the cover decoration image 951 and are not displayed. An editing frame 901 indicating the range of the subject image displayed on the preview screen is displayed on the preview screen. A moving handle 911 is displayed in the editing frame 901, and a scaling handle 921 is displayed at each of the four corners of the editing frame 901. Thus, when the user drags the moving handle 911 with the touch pen 214A, the editing frame 901 moves together with the subject image. Also, when the enlargement / reduction handle 921 is dragged with the touch pen 214A, the size of the editing frame 901 changes together with the subject image. Therefore, the user can move the arrangement position of the subject image with respect to the cover decoration image 951 to an arbitrary position or adjust it to an arbitrary size by operating the editing frame 901. Thus, the range of the subject image that can be seen through the image space 701 can be changed.

  When the editing is completed and the OK button is pressed, the subject image and the decorative image for cover 951 are combined so as to be displayed on the preview screen. Thereby, a cover image is generated and stored in the memory. When the user returns to the selection screen 601 from this state and selects an icon image, the screen transitions to an icon image creation screen and an icon image can be created.

  The icon image creation screen is composed of three screens. First, a first icon image creation screen 604 shown in FIG. 21 is displayed. On this screen, a predetermined sample is selected from a plurality of icon image samples (here, 20). Note that the sample of the 20 icon images displayed here is also determined based on the background image selected by the play preparation unit 3. When the user touches and selects one of the plurality of samples and presses the OK button in this state, the screen transitions to the second icon image creation screen 605.

  On the second icon image creation screen 605 shown in FIG. 22, as in FIG. 20, thumbnails of six subject images are displayed at the top, and a preview screen is arranged below the thumbnails. On the preview screen, an icon decoration image 920 as a base for creating a sample of the icon image selected on the first icon image creation screen 604 is displayed. The icon decoration image 920 is a square image, and includes a foreground image and a background image. Then, the subject image selected from the six thumbnails is superimposed on the icon decoration image and displayed. More specifically, the foreground image of the icon decoration image 920, the subject image, and the background of the icon decoration image 920 are superimposed and displayed in this order. In the preview screen, only the portion of the subject image that overlaps the icon decoration image is displayed, and the other portions are not displayed.

  On the preview screen, an editing frame 902 indicating the range of the subject image displayed on the preview screen is displayed. A moving handle 932 is displayed in the editing frame 902, and enlargement / reduction handles 931 are displayed at four corners of the editing frame 902, respectively. Thus, when the user drags the moving handle 932 with the touch pen 214A, the editing frame 902 moves together with the subject image. Also, when the enlargement / reduction handle 931 is dragged with the touch pen 214A, the size of the editing frame 902 changes with the subject image. Therefore, by operating the editing frame 902, the user can move the superimposed position of the subject image on the icon decoration image to an arbitrary position or adjust it to an arbitrary size. Thus, the display range of the subject image can be changed.

  When the OK button is pressed, only the display portion of the subject image is extracted on the preview screen at that time, that is, the non-display portion of the subject image is trimmed. Then, the extracted subject image and the icon decoration image are combined to generate an icon image. Then, the screen transitions to a third icon image creation screen 606.

  The third icon image creation screen 606 shown in FIG. 23 has the same configuration as the editing screen shown in FIG. 15, and can perform graffiti editing on the icon image created on the second icon image creation screen 605. . When the end button is pressed after editing the graffiti, the icon image that has been graffitied is stored in the memory, and the screen transitions to the edit screen of FIG. 15. Return to 605. Then, when returning to the editing screen of FIG. 15, if at least one cover image or icon image has been created, the display of “created” is added to the mobile mode 507, and the cover image or the icon image is already displayed. Visualize that it has been created.

  Thus, in the mobile mode, the cover image and the icon image used in the SNS can be created. However, in the pair of left and right editing spaces, it is possible to generate one cover image and one icon image, that is, a total of four images. it can. However, if the user has not edited in the mobile mode, or has created only one of the cover image and the icon image, the control unit 9 automatically creates the cover image and the icon image. be able to. The creation procedure is as described above, and the control unit 9 automatically selects a sample, a captured image, and the like. The number of automatically generated images is not particularly limited. For example, if the mode is not shifted to the mobile mode, one cover image and one icon image are automatically created, and if only two cover images are created, two icon images are automatically created, and one of the edits is performed. In the case where one cover image is created only in the space, it is possible to appropriately determine such as automatically creating only one icon image.

  If no editing is performed in the mobile mode, the design of the icons and the like may be determined based on the selection result of the background image set in automatically generating the icon image or the cover image. As a result, an icon image or a cover image reflecting the user's preference can be created.

  When only a cover image (or icon image) is created, an icon image (or cover image) of a design corresponding to the created cover image (or icon image) may be automatically generated. As described above, since the cover image and the icon image are basically used as a set, uniformity of design can be achieved, and user satisfaction can be improved.

<7-8. Print sheet selection processing>
Next, the print sheet selection processing will be described. First, “print sheet selection processing” means “determining the layout of the edited composite image to be printed on the print sheet and the image to be printed in an area of the print sheet where the edited composite image is not printed. The process of determining the design. " “Selecting (selecting) a print sheet” means “determining the layout of an edited composite image to be printed on a print sheet, and printing the edited composite image in an area of the print sheet where the edited composite image is not printed”. Determine the design of the image to be performed. "

  When the graffiti editing described above is completed, the editing unit 2 performs a print sheet selection process. That is, the print sheet selection screen shown in FIG. 24 is displayed on the editing monitor 213. As shown in the figure, on this screen, the editing monitor 213 is divided into a pair of left and right editing spaces, and can be used by two users simultaneously in parallel.

  The print sheet selection screen has four tabs 381 and two edit spaces 382 below the tabs 381. The edit space 382 includes a preview screen 383 and a plurality of print sheets (here, 6 Sample 384 is displayed. In the present embodiment, four types of print sheets, that is, a horizontally long design sheet, a vertically long design sheet, a small division sheet, and a multi division sheet are prepared, and the four tabs 381 correspond to these print sheets. That is, the user can select any one of the print sheets by touching any one of the tabs 381. The screen shown in FIG. 24 is a print sheet selection screen when the landscape design sheet tab or the portrait design sheet tab is selected. In the case of these two tabs, two users can individually select print sheets using the left and right screens. On the other hand, when the tab for the small split sheet or the tab for the multi-split sheet is selected, two users select one print sheet, and only one editing space 382 in FIG. Is displayed.

  Here, an example of four print sheets will be described. FIG. 25A shows an example of a landscape design sheet, which has a design of a predetermined theme and has six image spaces 71. In each image space 71, six composite images subjected to graffiti editing, that is, edited images are arranged. FIG. 25B illustrates a vertically long design sheet, which is different from the horizontally long design sheet in that the sheet is vertically long. These design sheets are also designed on the sheets themselves. In the example of FIG. 26A, two sets of six image spaces 71 are set so that two persons can divide the image space 71, and two sets of six edited images are arranged therein. FIG. 26B shows an example of a multi-split sheet for five or more people. This multi-divided sheet is divided into five or more areas so that the sheet can be divided by five or more persons. The configuration of each area is the same as that described for the small division sheet. In the example of FIG. 26B, five sets of six edited images are arranged.

  In the initial state, as shown in FIG. 24, the tab 381 of the landscape design sheet is selected, and a sample of the print sheet most suitable for the selected background image set is selected, and the edited image is placed in the image space 71. In this state, it is displayed on the preview screen 383. Note that “fit” means that there is the most unity in design, color, and the like, for example. At this time, among the six samples 384, the sample of the selected print sheet can be visually recognized by the user with display such as inversion. Also, the print sheet sample 384 displayed here differs for each selected background image set, and has a high sense of unity with the selected background image set in terms of design, hue, etc. A sample is displayed. This is the same for each tab 381.

  Then, when the user touches another print sheet sample 384, the edited image is arranged on the selected print sheet instead of the one currently displayed, and displayed on the preview screen 382. The user can switch the tab 381 and select the sample 384 until the user presses the OK button 385. When the OK button 385 is pressed, the sample selected immediately before pressing the OK button 385 is selected as a print sheet and stored in the memory. If the OK button 385 is not pressed, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the sample selected at that time is stored in the memory as the selected print sheet.

  When the OK button 385 is pressed, when the OK button 385 is pressed in a state where the tab for the landscape design sheet or the tab for the portrait design sheet is selected in one of the editing spaces 382, the tab for the small division sheet is pressed. , And the multi-split sheet tab disappear, and only the horizontal design sheet tab and the vertical design sheet tab are displayed. That is, in this state, in any of the editing spaces 382, the sample 384 of the print sheet can be selected only from the horizontal or vertical design sheet. When the OK button 385 is pressed in both editing spaces 382, the print sheet selection process is completed. Thus, the processing in the editing unit 2 is completed, and the process proceeds to the output processing. However, as for the small split sheet or the multi-split sheet, as described above, one person selects one print sheet. Therefore, if the OK button is pressed on the small split sheet tab or the multi-split sheet tab, At this point, the print sheet selection process is completed.

<7-9 Output processing>
Next, the output processing will be described. The edited image data, the icon image, and the cover image generated as described above are transmitted to the output unit 4. Then, first, transmission processing of image data such as edited image data is performed.

  There are several methods for transmission. First, an e-mail can be input, and image data can be transmitted to the e-mail, or a URL of a site on the Internet from which image data can be obtained can be transmitted. At this time, a screen is displayed on the monitor 411 that prompts the two users to input their mail addresses. The image data or the URL such as the edited image data can be transmitted directly from the photographing game device to the user's e-mail account, or can be transmitted from the photographing game device via an external server.

  Further, the non-contact communication unit 412 of the output unit 4 can transmit image data such as edited image data to the portable terminal. Further, by displaying a QR code (registered trademark) on the monitor 411 and reading the QR code (registered trademark), the above-mentioned URL can be acquired.

  The output unit 4 prints a plurality of edited composite images on a print medium based on the print sheet selected in the print sheet selection process. Then, the print medium is discharged from the seal discharge port 413.

<8. Effect>
As described above, according to the present embodiment, when an image of a subject is taken by the cameras 111a and 111b, correction is performed in accordance with the shooting mode of the subject. In the example of the present embodiment, when the second shooting course is selected from the two shooting courses, that is, when the whole camera is selected to be shot by the lower camera 111b, the length of the leg of the subject can be corrected. It has become. More specifically, when the second shooting course is selected, a plurality of correction samples are displayed in order to perform correction relating to leg length, and based on the correction sample selected by the user from among the correction samples. Thus, image processing for correcting the leg length is performed on the second whole body image. That is, the correction is not uniformly applied to all the captured images, but is proposed according to the imaging mode, so that the effect of the correction can be improved. For example, in the first whole body image in the first photographing course, although the whole body is taken, the legs are small, but even if the correction for lengthening the legs is performed, it is difficult to visually recognize the correction, and the effect of the correction is sufficiently sufficient. You will not get it. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the length of the leg is corrected only for the whole body image in which the leg is clearly shown, as in the second whole body image. Thus, the effect of the correction can be reliably reflected on the captured image. Further, not performing the correction having a low effect can lead to a reduction in the play time.

<9. Modification>
As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to said Embodiment, A various change is possible unless it deviates from the meaning.

<9-1>
In the above embodiment, the photographing mode is based on which camera 111a or 111b is used for the photographing. However, the photographing mode is not limited to this, and various corrections can be made. Note that the shooting mode includes not only a mode of shooting by a camera but also a mode related to image processing caused by shooting, such as selection of a background of an image generated by shooting. Therefore, the shooting mode can be based on, for example, the shooting direction, camera position, shooting range, focal length, trimming range, background, and the like. When the position of the camera is set to the shooting mode, for example, the content of correction is set individually when the camera is at the upper portion and at the lower portion of the shooting housing 11, or is set so as not to be corrected. be able to. In this case, in addition to changing the position of the camera by moving one camera, the position of the camera can be changed using two cameras as in the above-described embodiment. When the shooting range is set to the shooting mode, the type of the mode includes, for example, full-body shooting, face-up shooting, and waist-up shooting, and the content of correction is set for each shooting range or the correction is not performed. can do. When the trimming range is set to a shooting mode, the types include, for example, a case where only the face is trimmed and a case where the trimming is performed above the waist. When the background is in the shooting mode, correction candidates are set based on the background selected by the play preparation unit 3.

  In addition, the content of the correction includes, in addition to the length of the legs, for example, the size of the subject such as eye size, eye color, skin color, face size, and length and thickness of a part of the body. Things. The color can be corrected by changing the pixel value. For example, it is possible to change the details of the eye size correction performed in the case of face-up shooting and the case of full-body shooting. Since the face-up shot image has a larger face than the whole-body shot image, the whole-body shot image may have a larger eye magnification than the face-up shot image.
