Abstract

PURPOSE:To simultaneously and concurrently execute the input processing and the exposure processing of exposure information by an on-line system by providing a control means positioning an original picture carried to an exposure part based on positional information and projecting and exposing it on a photographic paper based on the exposure information. CONSTITUTION:A photographic film F is carried to the exposure part 20 from an image pickup part 3 by a first and a second carrying rollers H1 and H2. Then, the original picture P formed on the carried film F is detected by a picture detection part 1 and a picture position is calculated by a control part 11. By control part 11, the picture P is positioned at the image pickup part 3 by driving the roller H1 according to the calculated picture position. Besides, a distance to the central position of the picture from the leading edge of the film detected by a first film detection part 2 is counted and stored by the control part 11. Since the picture P is automatically positioned at the exposure part 20 according to the stored positional information at an exposure time, it is precisely positioned at the exposure part 20. Simultaneously, the input processing of the positional information can be executed independently of the exposure processing.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a photographic printing apparatus for printing an original image on a photographic film on a photographic paper. More specifically, prior to printing, the exposure amount and trimming conditions of the original image on the photographic film are set. The present invention relates to a photographic printing apparatus that inputs exposure information and controls printing on an original image based on this exposure information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in a photographic printing apparatus, an exposure condition (information relating to density, color, trimming, etc.) for an original image on a photographic film is determined prior to exposure, and the original image is printed. . As the input method of this exposure condition, conventionally, the following direct-viewing method,
Three types are known, an offline type and an online type.

(1) Direct-viewing method An operator directly looks at an original image (for example, a color negative image) set in the exposure unit, and a density correction key or color correction is applied to the original image which is judged not to be properly finished by the automatic exposure control. A method to adjust the amount of exposure for printing by operating correction keys such as keys. In this method, trimming conditions such as trimming range and enlargement ratio are also adjusted by visually operating the movable mask with respect to the original image of the exposure unit.

(2) Off-line method (JP-A-56-62)
No. 243 bulletin) Prior to printing, color negative images of a plurality of frames are taken,
A method in which these images are displayed in a negative / positive inversion on a color monitor and the exposure information input for each displayed image is stored separately from the main body of the photographic printing apparatus.

(3) Online system (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-10
No. 1643) The color negative image set in the exposure unit is captured,
A method of reversing positives, displaying on a color monitor, and inputting exposure information. Online processing is possible because the image can be taken at the exposure unit.

[0006]

However, the above-mentioned conventional photographic printing apparatus has the following drawbacks in each method.

(1a) Disadvantages of the direct-view method Since the finish of the color print is predicted from the color negative image, the operator not only needs skill and skill, but also
The exposure amount is not always adjusted to an appropriate amount. Further, for example, in the case of the 135 photographic film which occupies the highest frequency of appearance, since the size of the original image is as small as 24 × 36 mm, the trimming range and the like are designated by small manual work, and the adjustment accuracy thereof is low.

(2a) Disadvantages of Off-line Method Since the photoprinting device and the verification device are separate units, both the photoprinting device and the verification device are provided with a film transport section, various detecting sections, a control section, and an input / output of an auxiliary storage medium. Parts are required, resulting in high cost. In addition, since it is extremely important to synchronize the information related to the recorded data of the original image and its exposure correction amount,
A device (called a notcher) that applies a screen detection mark that can be detected by both printing devices with high accuracy is required. Therefore, the system configuration has three steps of the notcher, the verification device, and the photoprinting device, which requires a large cost and a large space. Therefore, the minilab (DPE
It cannot be applied to small systems that perform processing in stores). Further, both the verification apparatus and the photographic printing apparatus require setting and handling of the photographic film, which has a drawback that the work becomes complicated.

(3a) Disadvantages of Online Method Since the exposure unit can perform image pickup processing, many of the disadvantages of the offline method are solved. However, since the exposure information cannot be input and the exposure process cannot be performed in parallel at the same time, there is a problem that the time efficiency of the entire process is poor. In addition, the time efficiency is low in that the exposure information input and the exposure must be alternately repeated for each frame.

As described above, in any of the methods, skill or skill is required for determining the exposure amount, sufficient precision cannot be obtained for designating the trimming range, time efficiency is low, work is complicated, and the apparatus is constructed. However, there are problems such as enormous cost and need for a large space, and the advent of a photographic printing apparatus that solves all of these has been strongly desired.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides an photographic printing apparatus which is an online system and is capable of simultaneously performing an exposure information input process and an exposure process in parallel. Has an aim. further,
An object of the present invention is to provide a photographic printing apparatus capable of automatically exposing a plurality of original images collectively after inputting exposure information to a plurality of original images. Another object of the present invention is to provide a photographic printing apparatus capable of adjusting the position of the original image in the exposure section according to the display image of the imaging section.

[0012]

In order to achieve the above object, a photographic printing apparatus of the present invention displays an image of an original image picked up by an image pickup unit which picks up an original image on a photographic film positioned in an image pickup section. A display means; an input means for inputting exposure information for the displayed image; and a storage means for storing the exposure information in association with position information of each original image,

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An embodiment of the photographic printing apparatus of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a first embodiment of an apparatus of the present application in which an imaging unit is provided in front of an exposure unit, and FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of a second embodiment of an apparatus of the present application in which an exposure unit and an imaging unit are provided at the same position. .

(Regarding the First Embodiment) First, the structure of the first embodiment in which an image pickup section is provided in front of the exposure section will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, a photographic film F is a first and second conveyance roller H driven by a pulse motor (not shown).
1 and H2, the image pickup section 3 is conveyed to the exposure section 20 through a predetermined route. The original image P formed on the conveyed photographic film F is first detected by the screen detection unit 1, and the screen position is calculated by the control unit 11. According to this screen position, the control unit 11 drives the first transport roller H1 by a pulse motor (not shown) to position the original image P on the image pickup unit 3.

The control unit 11 counts and stores the distance from the leading edge of the film detected by the first film detection unit 2 to the position at the center of the screen. As this distance, the number of pulses given to the pulse motor that drives the conveyance roller is used.
A film transport amount measured by an encoder or the like may be used. Further, instead of the distance from the front end of the film, a predetermined mark (for example, a notch formed in advance on the side end portion of the photographic film F) or perforation may be detected, and the distance from these may be stored as position information. . In addition, after the second frame, the distance from the previous screen may be stored as position information indicating the screen position of the frame.

The original image P positioned on the image pickup section 3 is illuminated by the image pickup light source 4 and picked up by the color image sensor I of the image pickup section 3. The image signal obtained by the image pickup is processed by the image processing unit 12 to obtain a color CRT.
14 is displayed.

As shown in FIG. 3, the input section 15 is provided with a key 201 for aligning the screen, and the first transport roller H1 is driven in the forward and reverse directions according to the input from this key. It is supposed to be done. On the color CRT 14, an image 301 of the original image P captured by the image capturing unit 3 and an image frame 302 generated by the image processing unit 12 are displayed as shown in FIG. By operating the key 201, the original image P can be adjusted to an appropriate position. The controller 11 counts the distance driven by the first transport roller H1 for such alignment, and corrects the stored position information. The image pickup unit 3, the image processing unit 12, and the color CRT 14 are configured so that the displayed image has sufficient resolution and size, and the screen position is adjusted accurately even when the size of the original image P is small. be able to. Since the original image P is automatically positioned in the exposure unit 20 at the time of exposure according to the position information stored in this way, the exposure unit 20 is not affected by the original image P.
Is positioned at an appropriate position, and the position information input process can be performed independently of the exposure process.

Further, in the image processing section 12, the finish of the color print obtained from the original image P is simulated by a color CRT.
Image processing is performed so as to be displayed on 14. Further, the input unit 15 is provided with a key 202 for correcting the exposure as shown in FIG. 3, and the image processing unit 12 changes the color and shade of the display image according to the input from the key 202. While the image processing is performed so as to display the finish of the color print, the control unit 11 calculates the exposure correction amount corresponding to this key. Accordingly, for example, even if the photographic film F is a color negative film, it is possible to easily judge the excess or deficiency of the exposure amount by observing a positive image similar to the finish of the color print, and therefore, no skill or skill is required. The operator can also correct the exposure properly.

Further, the average transmitted light of B, G, and R colors of the original image P is passed through the photometric filters 5a, 5b, and 5c of B (blue), G (green), and R (red) colors to the photodiode 6a,
The light is received by 6b and 6c. The B, G, and R photometric signals obtained by photoelectrically converting the received light amount are supplied to the signal processing unit 13, amplified and A / D converted, and then sent to the control unit 11 to obtain B, G, and The basic exposure amount is determined based on the average photometric value of each R color. Since the average transmitted light of the original image P is independently measured by the image pickup unit 3 in this way, the basic exposure amount is determined without being affected by the movable mask (trimming mask) 21 set at the time of exposure depending on the trimming conditions and the like. It is configured to be able to.

For the image displayed on the color CRT 14, the input section 15 is provided with a key 203 for setting the trimming range and a key 204 for setting the number of prints, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to input these exposure information. In many cases, when requesting additional printing or enlargement, a sample print is attached and the number of copies and the trimming range are specified, but as described above, the color CRT 14 simulately displays the finish of the color print obtained from the original image P. Therefore, it is possible to reduce operational mistakes such as inconsistency with the designation of the client.

When setting the trimming range, a trimming frame 303 as shown in FIG. 4 is generated by the image processing section 12 and displayed on the color CRT 14. The image processing unit 12 is adapted to generate the position and size of the trimming frame 303 in response to the input of the key 203, and thus the trimming range can be set while checking. The image pickup unit 3, the image processing unit 12, and the color CRT 14 are configured so that the displayed image has sufficient resolution and size, and the trimming range is set accurately even when the size of the original image P is small. be able to.

The exposure information including the basic exposure amount, the exposure correction amount, the number of prints, the trimming range, etc. obtained in this way is stored in the control unit 11 together with the above-mentioned position information.
FIG. 5 shows the configuration of a memory configured to store the exposure information and the position information in the control unit 11. An address of a memory for writing these pieces of information at the time of input is set in the HEAD, and this address is added by a constant increment for each original image to be input and processed. When the added address exceeds a predetermined value, an initial value is given, and as a result, a ring buffer is formed (FIG. 5). TAI
An address for reading the stored information at the time of exposure is set in L, and this address is incremented by a constant increment for each original image to be exposed. When the added address exceeds a predetermined value, an initial value is given as in HEAD. When the address after the addition becomes the same as HEAD, the processing of all the original images to be exposed is completed and the processing waits.

By adopting such a configuration, the number of original images that have been subjected to the input process and are waiting for the exposure process can be made variable, and both processes can be performed independently. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, exposure information including a basic exposure amount, an exposure correction amount, the number of prints, a trimming range, and the like are combined and stored inside the ring buffer. In this way, the exposure information and the position information are stored in the control unit 11 for each original image in a one-to-one correspondence, and the exposure information is read in synchronization with the position information at the time of exposure.
All the original images can be exposed on the photographic printing paper 24 at accurate positions and under appropriate exposure conditions. In addition, since the exposure conditions for the original image P are automatically set and exposed according to the stored exposure information at the time of exposure, the exposure information input operation can be performed independently of the exposure as with the position information.

The original image P thus processed is positioned on the exposure section 20. The control unit 11 uses the second film detection unit 7
Based on the comparison between the distance from the film tip detected in and the position information corrected as necessary as described above,
The second transport roller H2 is driven by a pulse motor (not shown) to perform positioning. The original image P positioned on the exposure unit 20 is illuminated by the exposure light source 8 and is further photographed by the zoom lens 22 on the photographic printing paper 24.
Is optically imaged and exposed.

The control unit 11 drives the movable mask 21 according to the trimming range set as described above, determines the projection magnification according to the trimming range and print size, and drives the zoom lens 22. Has become. When the trimming range is not at the center position of the screen, the zoom lens 22 is horizontally moved in parallel or at right angles to the film transport direction to automatically adjust the optical axis.

Further, the exposure amount is calculated based on the stored basic exposure amount and exposure correction amount, and from the thus obtained exposure amount, yellow (Y) and magenta (M) arranged inside the exposure light source 8 are calculated. ), Cyan (C) filter 9
a, 9b, 9c and the operating time of the shutter 23a arranged below the exposure unit 20, the drive signal is sent to the filter drive unit 9 and the shutter drive unit 23, and the filter 9a, 9b, 9c and the shutter are sent by this drive signal. 23
a is inserted in the exposure optical path, and the exposure given to the photosensitive layers of the respective colors of the photographic printing paper 24 is adjusted. After the completion of this exposure, the photographic printing paper 24 is transported by a predetermined distance in preparation for the next exposure, and the photographic film F is transported to position the original image P to be printed next in the exposure section 20.

A buffer section K is provided between the image pickup section 3 and the exposure section 20 to buffer the time and distance between image pickup and exposure. Therefore, the input process of the exposure information and the position information and the exposure process can be simultaneously advanced in parallel. Further, in parallel with the exposure, the position of the original image P in the exposure unit or the position of the projection optical system and the magnification can be finely adjusted. In the first embodiment, the printing process of the original image P formed on the photographic film F is sequentially performed as described above.

(Regarding the Second Embodiment) Next, the configuration of the second embodiment in which the image pickup section and the exposure section are provided at the same position will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, a photographic film F is passed through a predetermined path by first and second transport rollers H3 and H4 driven by a pulse motor (not shown), through an exposure section 120 which also serves as an image pickup section 103 (in the figure, It is designed to be reciprocally moved in the left-right direction.

The original image P formed on the photographic film F is detected by the screen detection unit 101, and the screen position is determined by the control unit 11
Calculated as 1. Depending on the screen position, the control unit 11
Reference numeral 1 denotes a first transport roller H3 by a pulse motor (not shown)
Is driven to position the original image P on the exposure unit 120.

In the control unit 111, the first film detection unit 2
The distance from the leading edge of the film detected in to the position at the center of the screen is counted and stored. As this distance, the number of pulses given to the pulse motor for driving the carry roller is used, but the film carry amount measured by an encoder or the like may be used. Further, instead of the distance from the front end of the film, a predetermined mark (for example, a notch formed in advance on the side end portion of the photographic film F) or perforation may be detected and the distance from these may be stored as position information. Also, the second
After the frame, the distance from the previous screen may be stored as position information indicating the screen position of the frame.

The original image P positioned on the exposure unit 120 is illuminated by the exposure light source 108, and is imaged by the image sensor I of the imaging unit 103 via the half mirror 130. The image signal obtained by the imaging is the image processing unit 11
2 and is displayed on the color CRT 114.

As shown in FIG. 3, the input section 115 is provided with a key 201 for aligning the screen, and the first transport roller H3 is driven in the forward and reverse directions according to the input from this key. It is supposed to be done. Color CRT11
In FIG. 4, an image 301 of the original image P captured by the image capturing unit 103 and an image frame 302 generated by the image processing unit 112 are displayed on the screen 4, as shown in FIG. By operating 201, the original image P can be adjusted to an appropriate position. The control unit 111 counts the distance driven by the first transport roller H3 for such alignment and corrects the stored position information.

The image pickup section 103, the image processing section 112,
The color CRT 114 is configured so that the displayed image has sufficient resolution and size, and the screen position can be adjusted accurately even when the size of the original image P is small. Since the original image P is automatically positioned in the exposure unit 120 at the time of exposure according to the position information stored in this way, the original image P is positioned in an appropriate position in the exposure unit 120 and the position information input processing is performed. It can be performed independently of the exposure process.

In the image processing section 112, the finish of the color print obtained from the original image P is simulated by the color CR.
Image processing is performed so as to display at T114. Further, the input unit 115 is provided with a key 202 for correcting the exposure as shown in FIG. 3, and the image processing unit 112.
Then, the image processing is performed so that the color and shade of the display image are changed according to the input from the key 202 to display the finish of the color print, while the control unit 111 calculates the exposure correction amount corresponding to this key. It is supposed to be done. Accordingly, for example, even if the photographic film F is a color negative film, it is possible to easily judge the excess or deficiency of the exposure amount by observing a positive image similar to the finish of the color print, and therefore, no skill or skill is required. The operator can also correct the exposure properly.

Further, the photometric filter 1 for each of B, G and R colors
05a, 105b, 105c through B, G of the original picture P,
The average transmitted light of each R color is the photodiode 106a, 10
The light is received by 6b and 106c. The photometric signals of B, G, and R colors obtained by photoelectrically converting the amount of received light are signal processing units 113.
To the controller 1, after being amplified and A / D converted.
The basic exposure amount is determined on the basis of the average photometric value of each of B, G, and R colors sent to No. 11 and obtained. In this case, the movable mask (trimming mask) 121 set according to the trimming conditions and the like is adapted to perform photometry in an open state. Therefore, the basic exposure amount can be determined without being affected by the opening area of the movable mask 121.

Further, for the image displayed on the color CRT 114, the input section 115 is provided with a key 203 for setting the trimming range and a key 204 for setting the number of prints, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to input these exposure information. In many cases, when requesting additional printing or enlargement, a sample print is attached to specify the number of copies and the trimming range, but as described above, the color CRT 114 imitates the finish of the color print obtained from the original image P. Therefore, it is possible to reduce operational mistakes such as inconsistency with the designation of the client.

When setting the trimming range, a trimming frame 303 as shown in FIG. 4 is generated by the image processing unit 112 and displayed on the color CRT 114. In the image processing unit 112, the trimming frame 303
The position and size of are trimmed according to the input of the above-mentioned key 203, whereby the trimming range can be set while checking. The imaging unit 10
3. The image processing unit 112 and the color CRT 114 are configured so that the displayed image has sufficient resolution and size, and the trimming range can be set accurately even when the size of the original image P is small.

The exposure information including the basic exposure amount, the exposure correction amount, the number of prints, the trimming range, and the like thus obtained is stored in the control unit 111 together with the position information described above. FIG. 6 shows the configuration of a memory configured to store the exposure information and the position information in the control unit 111. AD
An address of a memory for writing and reading these pieces of information is set in RS. This address is incremented by a certain increment for each original image to be input processed, the above information is written in the memory corresponding to this address, and this address is subtracted by a certain increment for each original image to be exposed. The above information is read from the memory corresponding to this address.

By adopting such a configuration, the number of original images that have been subjected to the input process and are waiting for the exposure process can be made variable, and both processes can be performed independently. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, exposure information including a basic exposure amount, an exposure correction amount, the number of prints, a trimming range, and the like are combined and stored in the memory. In this way, the exposure information and the position information are stored in the control unit 111 for each original image in a one-to-one correspondence, and the exposure information is read in synchronization with the position information at the time of exposure. The photographic printing paper 24 can be exposed under the proper exposure conditions. Further, at the time of exposure, the exposure condition for the original image P is automatically set according to the stored exposure information,
Since the exposure processing is performed, the input operation of the exposure information can be performed independently of the exposure, like the position information.

After the exposure information and the position information are stored in this way, the control unit 111 drives the first transport roller H3 to position the next frame on the exposure unit 120, and similarly, the input process of the exposure information and the position information is performed. Is being carried out.
Exposure information is sequentially stored for a series of original images P formed on the photographic film F in this manner.

When a series of processes are performed, the trailing edge of the photographic film is detected by the second film detecting section 107, and the control section 11
1 converts the distance information from the front end of each frame into distance information from the rear end and stores it again. Further, the control unit 111 controls the first and second transport rollers H3 to transport the photographic film in the reverse direction.
The original image P is repositioned to the exposure unit 120 by reversing driving of H4. The control unit 111 controls the second film detection unit 107.
The second transport roller H4 is driven and positioned based on the comparison between the distance from the trailing edge of the film detected in (4) and the distance information corrected as necessary as described above. The original image P positioned on the exposure unit 120 is illuminated by the exposure light source 108, and further, the zoom lens 1
22 is configured to optically form an image on the photographic printing paper 125 and expose it.

The control section 111 drives the movable mask 121 within the set trimming range, determines the enlargement magnification according to the trimming range and print size, and drives the zoom lens 122. Further, when the trimming range is not at the center position of the screen, the zoom lens 122 is horizontally moved in parallel or at right angles to the film transport direction to automatically adjust the optical axis.

Further, the exposure amount is calculated based on the stored basic exposure amount and exposure correction amount, and from the thus obtained exposure amount, yellow (Y) and magenta (M) arranged inside the exposure light source 108 are calculated. ), Cyan (C) filter 10
9a, 109b, 109c and the operating time of the shutter 123a arranged under the exposure unit 120 are determined, and a drive signal is sent to the filter drive unit 109 and the shutter drive unit 123.
5b and 105c and the shutter 123a are inserted into the exposure light path to adjust the exposure given to the photosensitive layers of the respective colors of the photographic printing paper 124. After the completion of this exposure, the photographic printing paper 124 is transported by a predetermined distance in preparation for the next exposure, and the photographic film F is transported to position the original image P to be printed next in the exposure section 120.

In this way, since the image pick-up and the exposure are carried out independently and continuously, after the exposure information is continuously determined for a series of original images P, these original images P are automatically grouped together. Exposure is possible. Therefore, the input process of the exposure information and the position information and the exposure process can be independently performed, and the operator is not restrained for the printing process during the exposure. Further, the position of the original image P in the exposure unit or the position of the projection optical system and the magnification can be finely adjusted independently of the exposure.
