Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a photographic image producing apparatus for producing a photograph used for certifying a passport, a driver's license, etc., and more particularly to an apparatus for producing a photograph having a face image of a standard size. is there.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, with the introduction plan of a machine-readable passport (MRP), a standard for photographs to be submitted at the time of applying for a passport is being considered. According to this new standard, as shown in FIG. 2, the size of the photograph is 45 mm in length A and 35 mm in width B. The size of the face image on the photo (length from the chin to the top of the head) C is 25-
29mm, length D from the left edge of the photo to the center of the face image is 16 ~
19mm, the length E from the top of the photo to the top of the head of the face image
It is 5 to 9 mm.

A conventional photographic production apparatus is disclosed in JP-A-1-193.
As described in Japanese Patent No. 824, it is composed of a photography room and a photo production room. The person to be photographed sits on a chair in the photographing room and adjusts the height of the chair so that the eyes of his / her own face reflected in the photographing window substantially coincide with the eye marks on the photographing window.
After adjusting the height of this chair, insert a specified number of coins,
When the start button is operated, the device in the photo production room is activated and the photo is taken automatically. By this photography, for example, a photograph in which a face image of four frames is recorded by the lens clusters arranged in two rows and two columns is produced.

[0004]

However, since the conventional photographic production apparatus is not designed in consideration of the above-mentioned standard, when the face is too small or too large,
There is a drawback that the size of the face image is all outside the standard.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a photographic production apparatus capable of producing a photograph in which a face image has a predetermined standard.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, according to the invention of claim 1, a plurality of light sources vertically arranged on one side in the photographing room and an opposite side with a chair sandwiched in the photographing room. A plurality of photosensors arranged vertically in the vertical direction, and a determination means for determining the face size based on the signal output from each photosensor when a part of the face is aligned with the reference position. is there.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, a light projecting unit arranged on one side in the photographing room for scanning spot light in the vertical direction and a light projecting unit arranged vertically on the opposite side of the photographing room with a chair interposed therebetween. A plurality of optical sensors and a determination means for determining the face size based on the signal output from each optical sensor when a part of the face is aligned with the reference position are provided. Further, in the invention of claim 3, the invention of claim 1 or 2 is provided with display means for displaying the determined face size.

[0008]

[Function] In this way, for example, when the chin is aligned, depending on the size of the face, the top of the head blocks the optical path of the optical sensor, so which optical sensor does the light enter? For example, the face size can be determined in three stages by checking The result of this face size is displayed on the display means, and based on this, the position of the chair or headrest is manually or semi-automatically moved back and forth within the depth of field to shift the image magnification and bring the face image within the standard. I will enter. Alternatively, the photographing optical system is adjusted according to the face size. For example, a converter lens is inserted in front of and behind the lens cluster, or a chair or headrest is automatically moved without displaying a face size determination means, or a photographing optical system is automatically adjusted.

[0009]

[Example] In order to make a face image satisfy the passport photo standard, the image magnification on the photo may be changed according to the face size. When we studied the adjustment of this image magnification, the focal length of the lens cluster currently in use f = 117 mm, the lens magnification
In the case of 0.11 times, as shown in FIG. 3, it was found that the distance from the reference position to about 10 cm forward and about 15 cm behind was within the depth of field. If you change the subject position within this depth of field,
Up to 21 cm-29 cm face size, you can get pictures according to the standard,
I was able to confirm that I was able to shoot with the subject in focus. To change the position of the subject, it is first necessary to know the face size of the subject.

In FIG. 4, the interior of the photo production apparatus 10 is divided into a photography room 12 and a photo production room 13 with a partition wall 11 interposed therebetween. A cosmetic mirror 14 for confirmation is attached. As shown in detail in FIG. 5, the partition wall 11 is provided with a photographing window 15, a face size display lamp group 17, and the like. The lamp group 17 includes three lamps 17a
~ 17c, these lamps 17a ~ 17c
A character 17d indicating the face size is written below. In this embodiment, the face size has three levels of “S”, “M”, and “L”, but the number of levels can be appropriately increased or decreased.

Since the photo-making room 13 is a dark room,
The photographing window 15 acts as a mirror, on which the face of the photographed person is projected, and on both sides of the photographing window 15, lines 18 showing the positions of the chin of the photographed person in the photographing window 15 when seated are recorded. Has been done. A chair 19 is provided in the photographing room 12. As shown in FIG. 6, the chair 19 can be adjusted in height by rotating the backrest 19a with respect to the support shaft 19b fixed to the imaging room 12. As a result, the person to be photographed adjusts the height when seated so that his or her chin shown in the photographing window 15 is aligned with the line 18. The line 18 may be written at a position where the eyes are aligned.

On both side walls 20 and 21 of the photographing room 12 (see FIG. 4), a face size measuring unit 22 for detecting the position of the top of the head aligned with the chin line 18 is provided. The face size measuring unit 22 includes a light projecting unit 23 having light projecting elements 23a to 23c arranged vertically (in the vertical direction) in three rows, and light receiving units having light sensors 24a to 24c vertically arranged in three columns. And a part 24. As the light projecting elements 23a to 23c, infrared light emitting diodes that generate infrared light are used to remove the influence of external light. These light projecting elements 23a to
The infrared light emitted from 23c is reflected by the lenses 25a to 25c.
After being made into spot light by the, the light goes through the optical axes 26a to 26c toward the optical sensors 24a to 24c.

Spot light passing through the optical axes 26a to 26c is blocked by the head, and the face size determination unit 27 determines the face size into three levels as shown in Table 1 from the combination of the output signals of the optical sensors 24a to 24c. Can be determined. The light projecting element 23c and the optical sensor 24c are for confirming the presence of the face, and thus may be omitted.

[0014]

[Table 1]

Here, when the face size is "S", the face size of the photographed person is less than 19 to 22 cm, and when it is "M", the face size is less than 22 to 27 cm and "L". If the size of the face is
Corresponds to less than 27-30 cm. The face size determination unit 27 turns on any one of the lamps 17a to 17c according to the determined face size and displays the face size to the photographed person. Figure 1
In the example, since the optical sensors 24b and 24c are turned on, it can be seen that the face size is “M”. In addition,
Instead of the letters 17d of "S", "M", and "L", a dimensional scale indicating the length of the face may be marked.

The controller 28 starts the determination of the face size by the coin insertion signal, and starts the photography by the start signal.

The photographic production chamber 13 is provided with a magazine 29 containing a photosensitive material 30 for heat development in a roll form. The roll-shaped photosensitive material 30 includes a pair of drawing rollers 31.
Then, it is pulled out from the magazine 29 by the amount of one shot and cut by the cutter 32. This sheet-shaped photosensitive material 30a
Is conveyed to the photographing exposure unit 33 before photographing. At the time of photographing, the strobe device 34 arranged on the photographing window 15 operates to illuminate the person to be photographed through the diffusion plate 34a. The photographing exposure section 33 is provided with an exposure frame 33a, a shutter device 33b, and a lens cluster 36, and exposes a person image on the sheet-shaped photosensitive material 30a.

The lens clusters 36 are arranged in two rows in the vertical and horizontal directions, and four photographing small lenses 36a to 36 having the same focal length.
d (see FIG. 13) and a lens board 37 that holds the small lenses 36a to 36d so that these optical axes L1 to L4 are parallel to each other. Four small lenses 36a to 36d
Imprints the face image of the subject on the photosensitive material 30a.

The photosensitive material 30a after the photographic exposure is coated with a small amount of water in the water coating section 38 and then the image receiving material storage section 39.
It is sent to the heat developing section 41 together with the sheet-shaped image receiving material 40 sent from. In the heat developing section 41, the photosensitive material 3
The image on the photosensitive material 30a is transferred to the image receiving material 40 by heating the image receiving material 40a and the image receiving material 40 in close contact with each other.
The photosensitive material 30a and the image receiving material 40 after the heat development transfer are separated from each other at the separating and taking-out portion 43, and the image receiving material 40 showing a positive image is discharged as a photograph 40a to the taking-out port 44, and the photosensitive material 30a is a waste box. Discarded in 45. In the taken photograph 40a, as shown in FIG. 7, face images having the same image magnification are shown in four frames of the same size divided in a matrix.

A photographing position index 47 is drawn on the side wall 21 of the photographing room 12. The shooting position index 47 is obtained by dividing the adjustment range of the shooting distance into three areas, and characters 47a corresponding to the character 17d representing the size of the face are written in these areas. The person to be photographed sits on the chair 19 so that the face is located in a predetermined area according to the size of the face.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be described.
First, grooming is adjusted by the mirror 14 attached to the entrance of the photographic production apparatus 10 and the photograph room 12 is entered. Shooting room 1
In step 2, first, the user sits on the chair 19 and looks at the photographing window 15 to check whether or not the image of the chin coincides with the line 18. If the jaw image is higher than the line 18, the backrest 19a
Turn to adjust the height of the chair 19.

When a coin is inserted into the coin insertion slot 49, a coin insertion signal is sent to the controller 28. The controller 28 operates the face size measuring unit 22 and the face size determining unit 27. As a result, the light projecting unit 23 projects the three spot lights toward the light receiving unit 24. Spot light is incident on each of the optical sensors 24a to 24c of the light receiving unit 24 according to the size of the face. Face size determination unit 27
Determines the face size according to the combination of the output signals of the optical sensors 24a to 24c, and turns on the lamps 17a to 17c. The person to be photographed reads the character 17d corresponding to the lamp lit while sitting on the chair 19, for example, "M".

The person to be photographed adjusts the position of the face so that the face matches the photographing position index 47 drawn on the lateral side wall 21. After that, when the start button 48 is operated, a start signal is input to the controller 28, and after a certain period of time has elapsed, shooting is started. In the exposure unit 33, the photosensitive material 3 that is pulled out from the magazine 29 and cut into a sheet shape is used.
Since 0a is preset, four face images are imaged on the photosensitive material 30a when photography is started. After the addition of water, the photosensitive material 30a is superposed on the image receiving material 40 and thermally developed. This thermally developed image receiving material 40
Is sent to the outlet 44 as a certification photograph 40a. A face image conforming to the standard is shown in each frame of the certification photograph 40a by changing the subject position within the depth of field.

FIG. 8 shows an embodiment for scanning the light beam to measure the face size. The light beam emitted from the beam generator 50 is prevented from spreading by the condenser lens 51, and is rotated by the rotating mirror 53 via the reflecting mirror 52.
Is incident on. By rotating the rotating mirror 53, the light beam is scanned in the vertical direction (vertical direction), and the light receiving unit 2
It is received by 4. Each sensor 2 of this light receiving section 24
The face size is determined as described above from the light receiving states of 4a to 24c. Note that a line sensor having a large number of pixels may be used to read the electric charge of each pixel and check the position of the top of the head from the signal level thereof. Further, in the case of this line sensor, the length between the chin and the top of the head can be measured. This eliminates the need to align a part of the face with the reference position when measuring the face size. .

In the above embodiment, the position of the face is adjusted by moving the upper half of the body forward and backward while looking at the photographing position display 47 on the wall of the photographing room 12, but in the example shown in FIG. 9, the optical axis L1 is used.
The position of the chair 60 is manually adjusted in the direction along L4. The chair 60 is composed of a height-adjustable buttocks 60a and a screw cylinder 60b, and a horizontal mounting plate 61 is fixed to the lower end of the screw cylinder 60b. A pair of sleeves 62 are fixed to both ends of the mounting plate 61, and the sleeves 62 are slidably fitted to two guide rods 63 arranged in parallel.

A click mechanism (not shown) is provided on the sleeve 62 and the guide rod 63, so that the chair 60 can be mounted on the chair 60.
It can be adjusted in stages. Chair 60 and guide rod 63
When the coin is inserted after being set at the reference position which is substantially in the center, the face size is determined and the lamps 17a to
One of 17c lights up. The person to be photographed adjusts the position of the chair 60 so that his / her face matches the photographing position index 47 drawn on the lateral side wall 21. That is, the face size is "S"
In the case of, the small lens for photographing 29a is arranged so that it is in front of the reference position, when the face size is “M”, it is as it is, and when the face size is “L”, it is behind the reference position.
Adjust the position of chair 60 within a depth of field of ~ 29d.

FIG. 10 shows an example of manually moving the headrest in the optical axis direction according to the face size instead of the chair. Behind the headrest 70, a pair of upper and lower slide rods 71 and 72 are fixed. The slide rod 71 is fitted with a click mechanism 74 fixed to a wall 73, and the headrest 70 can be adjusted in three stages. A slide rod 72 for preventing the headrest 70 from rotating is slidably fitted in a hole of a wall 73.

Also in this example, since the headrest 70 is adjusted to a position corresponding to the face size while watching the photographing position display 47, by touching the headrest 70 with the head,
The size of the face image is adjusted. Where the headrest 7
It is necessary to set 0 to a size that does not appear in the photograph. If the same color as the wall 73 is used, there is no problem even if the headrest 70 is slightly protruding from the head. Even in the case of this example, when the face size is determined, the headrest 70
Set to the reference position in the center.

FIG. 11 shows an example in which the chair 60 is automatically moved to adjust the subject position. In this example, selection buttons 77 to 79 for inputting the size of the face obtained by turning on the lamps 17a to 17c are attached to the side wall 21. When any one of these selection buttons 77 to 79 is pressed, a signal is input to the motor control unit 81. The motor control unit 81 controls the rotation direction and rotation amount of the motor 80, and rotates the screw shaft 83 via the gear 82.
A nut 84 is screwed onto the screw shaft 83. A guide rod is arranged parallel to the screw shaft 83, and a sleeve is slidably fitted therein. The sleeve and the nut 84 have a mounting plate 6 similar to that shown in FIG.
1 is installed.

Face size determination unit 2 according to a coin insertion signal
7 determines the face size and displays the result on the lamps 17a to 17a.
Since it is displayed by c, see this and select button 77 ~
When any one of 79 is operated, the motor 80 rotates and the nut 84 is moved back and forth via the screw shaft 83. By the movement of the nut 84, the chair 60 supported by the screw shaft 83 and the guide rod moves back and forth toward a position corresponding to the face size. It should be noted that the chair 60 automatically returns to the reference position for the next measurement of the face size after the end of photographing.

FIG. 12 shows an example in which the headrest 70 is automatically moved in the optical axis direction according to the face size. Behind the headrest 70, the tip of a screw shaft 88 is rotatably attached, and a slide rod 72 is fixed. The screw shaft 88 is a nut 9 fixed to the wall 73.
The motor 93 is adapted to be screwed into 1 and to be rotated by a motor 93 via a gear 92 fixed to the rear end thereof. In this case as well, in order to determine the next face size after shooting,
The headrest 70 is moved to the reference position.

Another example of adjusting the size of the face image is a method of adjusting the photographing optical system. As shown in FIG. 13, the camera housing 100 of the photographic exposure unit 33 is supported by a feed screw 101 and a guide rod 102, and when the feed screw 101 is rotated by a motor 103, the housing 100 moves to the optical axes L1 to L4. Move back and forth in the direction. Reference numerals 104 to 107 are small lenses, and reference numeral 108
Is a lens board. By specifying the face size, the camera housing 100 moves in the direction of the optical axes L1 to L4 together with the lens cluster 36 and the photosensitive material 30a, so that the size of the face image can be changed within the depth of field. After shooting, the camera housing 100 returns to the reference position, which is almost the center of the moving range.

In the example shown in FIG. 14, three types of lens clusters 110 to 11 having different focal lengths according to the face size are used.
2 is selected and used. The specifications of the three types of lens clusters 110 to 112 are as follows: each small lens of the lens cluster 110 has a focal length f = 117 mm, each small lens of the lens cluster 111 has a focal length f = 128.6 mm, and each small lens of the lens cluster 112 has a focal point. Distance f = 104.71
mm. These three types of lens clusters 110 to 112
As shown in the graph of FIG.
It is possible to imprint in a standard size on a face of ~ 30 cm.

The lens clusters 110 to 112 are attached to the plate 113. This plate 11
3 is movably supported by a feed screw 114 and a guide rod 115. When the motor 116 is rotated by a signal from the motor control unit 81, the plate 113 is moved in the arrow direction by the feed screw 114, a desired lens cluster is selected, and the person image is exposed on the photosensitive material 30a by this lens cluster. . Note that the type of lens cluster is not limited to three types, and for example, four types of lens clusters to which a lens cluster having a focal length f = 139.63 mm is added as shown by a chain line in FIG. Good. In this case, a face with a size of 18.5 to 30 cm can be imprinted according to the standard.

In the example shown in FIG. 16, the optical axes L1 to L1 of the small lenses are located behind the master lens cluster 120.
Two types of lens clusters 121 for converters on L4,
122 is provided so as to be freely accessible. Each converter lens cluster 121, 122 has four small lenses, respectively. Master lens cluster 120
And two types of converter lens clusters 121 and 122
Three types of focal lengths can be selected by and.

Lens cluster 12 for these converters
1, 122 are provided on the panel 123, and move in a direction orthogonal to the optical axes L1 to L4 by the rotation of the motor 116. Note that reference numeral 123a is an aperture, and when only the master lens cluster 120 is used, the optical axis L
1 to L4 are set. Further, as another example of adjusting the photographing optical system, each small lens of the lens cluster may be a zoom lens, and these zoom lenses may be driven by one motor to convert the focal length according to the face size. Good.

In each of the application examples described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 14 and 16, the subject distance or focal length is semi-automatically adjusted by inputting the face size, but the selection buttons 77 to 7 are used.
If 9 is omitted and the face size signal according to the determination result of the face size determination unit 27 is directly input to the motor control unit 81 and the subject distance or the focal length is automatically adjusted, the photographed person can change the face size one by one. The operation of inputting can be omitted. In this case, the lamp group 17 for displaying the face size can be omitted.

In the above embodiment, the jaw is used as a reference,
Alternatively, the top of the head or the eyes may be used as a reference. The face size is examined by measuring the position of the chin when the top of the head is the reference, and by measuring the top of the head or the chin when the eye is the reference. Further, in the photo production apparatus described in the above embodiment, a photo in which a face image is imprinted in a 2 × 2 matrix arrangement is produced, but a photo in which four face columns are imprinted may be produced.

[0039]

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, the spot size is projected from the lateral direction of the face, and the plurality of vertically arranged photosensors receive the spot size to detect the face size. Since the face size is measured, it is possible to easily know the face size, thereby changing the image magnification and obtaining a photograph conforming to the standard.

Another example of adjusting the size of the face image is a method of adjusting the photographing optical system. As shown in FIG. 13, the camera housing 100 of the photographic exposure unit 33 is supported by a feed screw 101 and a guide rod 102, and when the feed screw 101 is rotated by a motor 103, the housing 100 moves to the optical axes L1 to L4. Move back and forth in the direction. Reference numeral 104 to 107 are lenses, reference numeral 108
Is a lens board. By specifying the face size, the camera housing 100 moves in the direction of the optical axes L1 to L4 together with the lens cluster 36 and the photosensitive material 30a, so that the size of the face image can be changed within the depth of focus . After shooting, the camera housing 100 returns to the reference position, which is almost the center of the moving range.
