Note that the "visual sense" referred to here refers to the total visual sense that can be seen from any point in the surroundings. It means a substance. Until now, a photograph that completely encircles from any point of its surroundings I couldn't take a picture of it. For example, devices for taking panoramic photographs are known. However, none of these devices can record such a full visual entity. .

The object of the invention is to replace a rotating body, for example a sphere, with a flat surface area or with a surface. and then combine these surface areas to create e.g. around the surrounding area in such a way as to form a rotating body of approximately corresponding shape, such as a "like sphere". The purpose is to solve the problem of forming a total visual entity as an image from an arbitrary point. .

Another object of the invention is to record an image for any point in the surroundings.

Due to this feature, the flat surface area obtained from the rotating body or can reproduce surfaces in such a way that these surfaces themselves may partially overlap. The objective is to provide a visual recording device that can

The invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. and an electrical and information providing part which is incorporated into the frame 2.

The electro-mechanical part consists of a first U-shaped fixed support 3, which A fixing means 4 for the optical recording device 5 is provided at the center of the bottom. Such a support 3 is , on the outside of the lateral legs 3a, integral with these legs, at right angles to these legs, In order to establish the axis x-x', two axes 6 which apparently extend within the support 3 are It is equipped with These shafts 6 are connected to a cage or shaft whose axis line also coincides with the axis X-X' Install each in receiver 7. These bearings 7 are connected to the legs of the second U-shaped fixed support 9. 9a, and the fixed support 9 has an axis that intersects the axis x-x' at point 0. The apparent is attached to an upwardly extending vertical shaft 10 so as to define a line y-y'. Konotaru Direct axis lO is a bearing or bevel support whose axis line is located along the extension line of axis y-y　. Install it inside the holder 11. This bearing 11 is fixed to the upper part 13 of the support means 14, The support means 14 includes a system that allows it to be fixed to a support (for example, a photographic tripod). Provide a threaded hole (15) with a Kodak Bitch used for mounting.

This imaging device moves an optical recording device along two perpendicular axes to make a recording. This requires aligning the device with the intersection point 0 of the axes X-X' and y-y'. Can be rotated in any direction around the focal point of the recording device, that is, the optical focal point Design as follows. The distance di between the legs 38 of the support body 3 is determined by The distance must be such that the device can be handled at the same time, and the axis The distance d2 between the line x-x' and the bottom of the support 3 is can be equal to the distance between the bottom of the recording device and the optical focus of the recording device. Ru. The distance between the axis x-x' and the bottom of the support 9 is around the horizontal axis x-x' This is the gap size that allows the recording device 5 to rotate 3600 times. This distance, denoted by d3, is The larger radius between the optical focus 0 of a recording device and any end of this recording device Distance. As mentioned above, the optical focus of the recording device is always on the axis -X It can be fixed to the support 3 as shown in FIG.

One of the shafts 6 of the support 3 is a drive device forming a deceleration means 20a cooperating with a motor 21a. The shaft 10 is connected directly or indirectly to the system, whereas the shaft 10 is a motor 21b. It is directly or indirectly connected to the drive device forming the speed means 20. The deceleration rate is the maximum The desired accuracy is determined according to the small momentum. Therefore, a step with a step angle of 7.5° When using a bi-step motor, use a deceleration means with a deceleration rate of 750. Accordingly, the accuracy for each step can be reduced to 1/100.

Each motor 21a, 21b is controlled by an electric-computer system 2. This electric The air-computer system 2 includes an electronic control circuit that controls the motors 21a and 21b, respectively. The card 22 therefore receives instructions received at the collector 23. It can be transmitted to the motor. This electronic control card is installed in a printed circuit. It includes an integrated circuit 24. Microprocessor card 25 is a control program Read and execute the instructions contained in the . This microprocessor card is printed comprising a microprocessor and an integrated circuit wired together by circuit 26; Ru. This connection allows the microprocessor ROM.

That is, the logic program fixedly recorded in the read-only memory 27 is executed.

Information to be fixedly recorded in RO) 4, that is, logical data, is determined by the microprocessor to be used. Configure a program written in machine language to be applied to the processor. This program is There are two parts: the procedure to be performed by the microprocessor, and the procedure to proceed with this procedure. It consists of two parts, the first digital data part, and the second digital data part. Continuous movements that play a more important role and those corresponding to the directions of these continuous movements It is.

The two cards as described above are connected to a power supply device 28, which is composed of, for example, a storage battery. .

When operating the device according to the invention, in order to record and then reconstruct the visual method. Take a series of photos. This procedure can be performed as follows. Already spread As mentioned above, the ``visual method'' refers to the total visual entity that can be seen from every point in its surroundings. It means that. This all-optical entity is located on top of the sphere or around the center of the sphere. can be projected onto any other rotating body. Therefore, in this method, the sphere can be divided into multiple planes. A flat surface area, immediately divided into parts that can be replaced with multiple faces. I will do it. These surface areas are then recombined to form a “pseudo-law”. let This procedure is performed as follows. That is, 1) Select a visual recording device.

2) Measure the composition of the image recorded by this device, especially the aperture angle of the optical means, in advance, i.e. decide.

3) Divide the visual method into many necessary aspects, and the many aspects that combine these aspects are the visual method. It covers the entire area, and these many surfaces may overlap in part, and The direction of each photo in terms of latitude and longitude should also be known.

4) Record images corresponding to these multiple surfaces.

5) The image recorded in this way can be captured at any time positioned around the selected shooting point. It is also used to image onto any spatial support of the rolling body. Such shooting points are for record purposes only. It can be positioned at any point around the point that is unrelated to the point used as the shooting point. Ru.

6) In order to do this, first select the first image to be projected, and then The images that follow do not appear as if they follow the previous image. After showing all the images , this also means that a sphere is formed. The following projection techniques should be used: Can be done. That is, - By manual procedure using the same optical means selected for the recording procedure for the projection. Or; One ball is cut into multiple surfaces, the center of each of these surfaces is set, and the optical system is fixed to the recording system. A recording device may be used to form a visual method as described above, and the recording device may be used to be positioned at each position corresponding to the center of multiple surfaces and record each image, and record these images. This can also be done by an automatic procedure in which the images are projected by a device that also shows the direction used for recording. of. This device may be mechanical (of the same type as the recording system) or a computer system. A stem type can be used.

In the process of reconstructing the visual method, a spherical image is created from 20 images taken from the same shooting point. can be formed. These 20 images align the orientation of the recording device along two axes, viz. One horizontal axis measured on a 360° scale and one measured on a 180° scale is obtained by defining two axes with one vertical axis and the other vertical axis. each photo The coordinates of are taken from the reference point 0. The horizontal and vertical coordinates of the 20 images from a to t are As shown below.

Reference sign horizontal horizontal vertical Capable of recording with any recording device, i.e. in any direction (at least 75°) Once these images are formed, which are taken by optical means, these images can be masked. You need to

The image masking procedure can be performed as follows. That is, In each image, the equilateral triangle has the following coordinates, that is, the center and apex angle of the triangle are 37.377. For optical means with a distance between the apex of 368°, i.e. a focal length of 15 mm, for example is defined as a distance of (7,1/14.4)X (height of the image obtained in this way). child Using the triangle obtained as a mask, the surface area of the triangle is Effective surface. A triangle defined within each image (i.e. defined by the intersection of two diagonals) The center of the image defined by the intersection of the median lines overlaps the center of the triangle defined by the intersection of the median lines. The orientation of (need to be) can be determined in two different ways: Ru. That is, 1) orient the vertex upward along the axis defined by the vertical line in the image; , let such a vertical line be a line passing through the center of the image, and let this direction localization be a, b, c, d, e, k, i, m.

Used for triangles indicated by n and o.

2) Point the vertex downward along the axis defined by the vertical line in the image, and Assuming that the line passes through the center of the image, this direction localization is expressed as f, g, h, i, , i, p, q, r.

Used for triangles indicated by s and t.

This masking allows us to use 20 triangular images as shown in Figure 2. Then, these images have the following continuity (continuity here refers to two triangles). (meaning that they have a common edge) a and f, b and g, and c.

d and i, e and j, f, k and g, g and], l, h and rn, m and i, i and n, n and j, j and o, o and f, k and p, l and q, m and r, n and s , o and t, a and b, C2C and (1,, d and e, a and e, p and q, Consider the continuity of q and r, r and s, s and t, and p and t when combining them. Ru. Once we have such continuities as described above, - we can logically by making it regular and forming the original image logically; also - as a material. These successive images can be printed on paper, film, screen or other support. By manually arranging them regularly; It can be used for various purposes.

These images may then be folded or subjected to other procedures that allow the formation of spheres. Therefore, try to combine them.

In addition, if you want to obtain more information or use optical means with good imaging clarity, In some cases, each image can be divided into a number of smaller images.

Once the vision method has been recorded and reconstructed, the basic image thus obtained can be used to perform various You can create products, equipment, spaces, etc. Create spaces and visible objects In other words, in order to present a spherical view from the points, the following method is implemented. give

Measuring various surfaces of a rotating body onto which a spherical image is to be projected; - Select a point within this rotating body and make this point the center of projection; Set a reference point ○ on a rotating body; It is necessary to determine which point in the fundamental image each point of the body of revolution corresponds to, and this point must be defined by the color coordinates (latitude and longitude) of the corresponding points above; Set the points on the rotating body by printing, photographing, electronic processing, etc. do; - The initial image can be handled graphically, photographically or electronically, and the multiple spherical images Images that can be partially or totally mixed and are useful for sorting out other images It can also be used.
