Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a scanner device which digitizes an image recorded on a film and outputs it.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a scanner device has been commercialized as a device for digitizing an image recorded on a 135 format film (135 film). These are those in which a developed negative piece film or a positive-type mounted film is loaded into the apparatus, the film is illuminated by a light source such as a halogen lamp, and imaged on an image sensor such as a CCD to digitize the image. Is.

On the other hand, in recent years, several new photographic film formats have been proposed and put to practical use. This is a form in which the film is stored in the same cartridge before and after shooting, and can be stored in the cartridge after the shooting is finished.

Therefore, the new format film is different from the conventional 135 format film in the storage form after development as described above. Therefore, when the film is re-converted into an image by a print or scanner device, the 135 format film is stored. Handling is different from film. In addition, the backside of the new format film is magnetically coated, making it possible to read and write information related to shooting and development.

By the way, a scanner device in which both the conventional 135 format film and the above-mentioned cartridge type film can be loaded is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 5-145.
It is disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 838.

This has means for holding the piece film of the 135 format film and the cartridge type film respectively, and when the film is inserted, the case of the cartridge film pushes the conveying path for the piece film to evacuate the same. This makes it possible to read images recorded on the two different types of films in the scanner device.

[0007]

However, in the apparatus described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 145838/1993, the transfer path can be retracted, but what the loaded film is, and the magnetic information recording unit. Presence / absence cannot be determined. Therefore, since the magnetic data reading operation is executed despite the absence of the magnetic information recording unit, the operation of the scanner device becomes inefficient.

Furthermore, when a cartridge type film is loaded, it is not possible to determine whether the loaded film is a developed film because it has no means for identifying whether or not it has been developed. Therefore, there is a problem that the scanner operation is performed to expose the film surface to light even if the film is an unused film or a film after exposure and before development. Further, information necessary for scanning such as the size of the loaded film cannot be known until the presence / absence of magnetic information is determined.

Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a scanner device capable of identifying the form of a mounted film and selecting an operation suitable for the form of the film. To do.

[0010]

In order to achieve the above object, a scanner device of the present invention is provided with a magnetic recording medium on a film and a film cartridge having a film feeding function. It is recorded on the first loading means, the second loading means for loading the film alone, the film in the film cartridge loaded by the first loading means or the film loaded by the second loading means. Image conversion means for converting an image into an image signal by scanning a line sensor, identification means for identifying whether the film cartridge or the film, and the processing operation is changed according to the identification result of the identification means. And a change control means for controlling the change.

Further, the scanner device of the present invention has magnetic head means for the magnetic recording medium, and the change control means changes the operation of the magnetic head means according to the identification result by the identification means. Further, the scanner device of the present invention further includes a film in the film cartridge and a film feed mechanism for driving the film alone, and the change control means is responsive to an identification result by the identification means. It is characterized by changing the feeding operation.

That is, in the scanner device of the present invention, the magnetic recording medium is provided on the film, and the first loading means for loading the film cartridge having the above-mentioned film feeding function and the single film are loaded. And the second recording means, the image recorded on the film in the film cartridge loaded by the first loading means or the film loaded by the second loading means is the line sensor of the image conversion means. Is converted into an image signal by scanning. Then, the identification means identifies the film cartridge or the film, and the change control means changes the processing operation according to the identification result of the identification means.

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of an external appearance of the scanner device according to the first embodiment. This scanner device is provided with a film loading section, and the scanner body 2 for reading an image recorded on a film loaded in the film loading section and the operation of the scanner body 2 by activating software operable from the outside Is connected to the personal computer 4 for controlling via a communication line.

The film whose image can be read by the scanner body 2 is a cartridge type film cartridge FC having a magnetic information recording portion on the film surface and having a film feeding function, and a 135 format piece film. It is the attached piece film cover PC.

The film cartridge FC is inserted from a loading section 8a which is opened / closed by operating a switch 6a provided on the scanner body, and the piece film cover PC is loaded by a loading section 8a which is opened / closed by operating a switch 6b provided on its side surface.
It is inserted from b. On the piece film cover PC, there is provided a protrusion 10 for identifying the loading of the piece film cover PC and the position of the frame, and the switch described later detects the loading and the position of the frame. . Further, the power switch 12 of the scanner body 2 is arranged as shown.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of the scanner device. The reading of the image recorded on the film surface of the film cartridge FC or the piece film cover PC is performed as follows, for example, based on the film surface of the film cartridge FC.

The illuminating section 20 consisting of a fluorescent tube illuminates the film surface F of the film cartridge FC. The light flux transmitted through the film surface F is converted into R /
An image is formed on the image pickup unit 24 including a 3-line CCD sensor capable of reading the three colors of G / B and a MOS type line sensor.

The scanning operation (reading operation) is performed by simultaneously driving the illumination unit 20 and the image pickup unit 24 by the motor 28 driven by the control of the scanner control unit 26, whereby the film surface F is exposed. The image is captured as a two-dimensional image. Further, the scanner control unit 26 receives the two-dimensional image from the image pickup unit 24 and converts it into digital data. The digital data of the image thus obtained by the scanning operation is output to the external device by the external connection unit 30 via the communication line.

Since the digital data of the image has the information of each color signal, the scanner control unit 26 reads the film-based color or code from the digital data to judge the negative / positive, the type of 135 film, etc. It is also possible to read the information of.

The focus adjustment for the image formation is performed by the motor 32 driven by a signal from the scanner control unit 26 so that the lens unit 22 is controlled to move in the direction orthogonal to the optical axis of the illumination light beam.

The loading detection switch 34 is turned on when the film cartridge FC is loaded in the scanner body 2, and the loading of the film cartridge FC is detected by the scanner controller 26. The developed film detection switch 36 detects whether or not the film is a developed film based on the presence or absence of a cartridge claw portion (not shown) provided on the film cartridge FC. By this detection, the scanner control unit 2
6 identifies whether the loaded film has been developed. The photo reflector (PR) 38, when the film cartridge FC is loaded, reads various kinds of film information from a data disk unit (not shown) provided in the film cartridge FC before the film is sent out. The film information read by the photo reflector 38 is taken into the scanner control unit 26, and the information of the film loaded by the scanner control unit 26, that is, the film sensitivity, the number of frames, and the negative / positive are identified.

On the other hand, the piece film cover PC is detected by the switches 40 and 42 whether or not it has been loaded in the scanner body 2. The switches 40 and 42 detect and turn on the protrusion 10 provided on the piece film cover (PC), and the combination thereof enables identification corresponding to a plurality of types of piece film covers PC. For example, in the case of a negative (switch 40, switch 42) = (on, off), in the case of a positive mount type, (switch 4
0, switch 42) = (ON, ON).

Further, based on the identification result of the loaded film by the loading detection switch 34 and the switches 40 and 42, the scanner control unit 26 controls the switching of the drive mechanism of the motor 44, and the film cartridge FC and the piece film cover PC. Of these, only the drive-side mechanism of the loaded film can be driven.

The information recorded on the film other than the image is read by using the photo interrupter (PI) 46 for reading the optically recorded information, the magnetic head 48 and the magnetic detector 50. If the magnetic head 48 has not only a reading function but also a writing function, both reading and writing can be performed on the magnetic information recording portion of the film. Storage unit 52
Is the scanner controller 26 and DATA, CLK, and R /
They are connected by a W line and store image data, a device, a correction value for the film, and the like.

Next, the operation of the scanner device will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The processing contents of the subroutine are different between the first embodiment and other embodiments described later.

The loading detection switch 34 and the switch 40,
42, which film is loaded is detected, and this detection signal is output to the scanner control unit 26 (step S1). The scanner control unit 26 identifies the form of the loaded film from the detection signal (step S2). Then, the scanner control unit 26 sets the flag "MODE" based on the identified film form. As shown in FIG. 4, this flag “MODE” is
When it is "0", the film cartridge FC, when it is "1", the 135 negative film of the piece film cover PC,
At the time of "2", it shows the 135 reversal (positive, slide) film of the piece film cover PC.

Subsequently, the scanner control unit 26 reads the correction value for the film, such as the transmittance of the loaded film, from the storage unit 52 (step S3), and further displays the identification result on the display unit (step S4). . Here, the display section is on the personal computer 4 outside the scanner body 2, and the scanner control section 26 sends the identification result to the personal computer 4 side through the communication line to notify the operator.

Next, the scanner control unit 26 determines whether or not "MODE" showing the form of the loaded film is "0" (step S5). Here, the loading detection switch 3
It is possible to judge whether the film cartridge FC is the film cartridge FC by No. 4, but it is impossible to judge whether the film is negative or reversal of 135 film until the brightness of the film base is obtained from the output of the image pickup section 24. Therefore, in step S5, "0"
You can only judge whether it is or not.

When "MODE" is not "0" in step S5, the following operation is performed. The scanner control unit 26 switches the motor 44, which is a film drive unit, to the piece film cover PC side, and at the same time, drives the lens unit 22 to a position that matches the optical path length of the film surface of the piece film cover PC to perform focus adjustment ( Step S6).

Subsequently, the magnetic head 48 is changed to the MR shown in FIG.
After retracting in the direction of (step S7), the piece film cover PC is driven by the motor 44 to move to a predetermined position (step S8). At this time, the positioning of the piece film cover PC is performed by
The members formed on, for example, the electrodes and the protrusions 10 are detected by the switches 40 and 42. Thereafter, "command reception" is performed according to the flowchart described later (step S9), and this operation ends.

On the other hand, in the above step S5, "MODE"
When is 0, the following operation is performed. The scanner control unit 26 switches the motor 44, which is a film drive unit, to the piece film cover PC side in order to perform the scanning operation of the film cartridge FC. At this time, at the same time, the lens unit 22 is driven to a position matching the optical path length of the film surface of the film cartridge FC to perform focus adjustment (step S10).

Subsequently, the magnetic head 48 is moved to the MF shown in FIG.
In the direction of (1) to enable reading and writing of magnetic information (step S11). Further, the data disk provided on the film cartridge FC is connected to the motor 4
The film information recorded on the data disc is read by rotating the film in the direction of storing the film in step 4 (step S1).
2). Then, it is determined whether or not the flag "USEFLG" indicating whether the loaded film has been developed is "1" (step S13). The flag "USE"
“FLG” is a flag that is set by turning on / off the developed film detection switch 36, and is “ON = 1” when developed and “OFF = 0” when undeveloped.

At step S13, "USEFLG"
If is "1", "APS" is displayed on the display section to indicate that the film cartridge FC is used for film (step S16). Subsequently, the scanner control unit 26 permits the film feeding, and causes the motor 44 to start the film feeding (step S17). At this time, the scanner controller 26 uses the motor 44 to drive the film cartridge F.
While feeding the C film, the magnetic head 48 reads information such as shooting information recorded on the film. At the same time, the information optically recorded by the photo interrupter (PI) 46 is read (step S18).

Next, the scanner controller 26 determines whether the film has been fed to a predetermined position (step S).
19). When the predetermined position has not been reached, the process returns to step S18 and the reading of information is continued. On the other hand, when it reaches the predetermined position, the feeding of the film by the motor 44 is finished (step S20). Then, according to the flowchart described later, "command reception" is performed (step S21), and this operation ends.

On the other hand, in the step S13, "USEF
When “LG” is “0”, it means that the film is undeveloped. Therefore, when the scanner operation is performed, the unexposed surface is exposed and the film cannot be used. Therefore, a warning is displayed on the display,
The operator is notified of the undeveloped film (step S14). After that, the film feeding is prohibited (step S15), the process proceeds to step S21, "command reception" is performed according to the flowchart described later (step S21), and the operation is finished.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a display example displayed on the screen of the personal computer 4. In the screen 60,
An image data display unit 62 and a film form display unit 64, a frame number display unit 66, a brightness correction value display unit 68, and a magnetic information display unit 69 such as date / exposure information are arranged below the image data display unit 62.
Regarding these displays, the presence or absence of the display and the display position can be arbitrarily changed according to the instruction of the operator.

Here, the display example of the film form display section 64 is as follows. 64a when the film is "film cartridge FC", 6 when "piece film cover PC with 135 format mounted"
4b, 6 for "135 slide case (for 1 sheet)"
4c, the undeveloped film in "Film cartridge FC" is displayed in the form of 64d.

FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing the "command reception" process in the flow chart shown in FIG.
The command is input from the scanner control unit itself or the external personal computer 4, and the scanner control unit performs judgment and processing.

First, the scanner control unit 26 uses the timer "T".
"M" is set to the initial value TM0 (step S30).
Subsequently, the scanner control unit 26 waits for a command to be received (step S31), and if not received, a step S42.
Proceed to.

On the other hand, when the command is received, the branch determination of each processing described below is performed according to the content of the command. The scanner control unit 26 determines whether the received command is a command for instructing a film moving operation (step S3).
2). Here, if the command is a command to move the film, the scanner controller 26 controls the movement of the film by the motor 44 based on the frame feed number, the feed direction, and the film end information (step S33). The process of "film feed" will be described in detail later. Then, it progresses to step S42.

On the other hand, when the command is not a command to move the film in step S32, the scanner control unit 26 determines whether the received command is a command to read an image (step S34). When the command is an instruction to read an image, the scanner control unit 26 drives the motor 28 and the image pickup unit 24 to read the image based on the used film format information and the reading condition setting (step S35). At this time, the scanner control unit 26 causes the film information selected based on the film information, for example, a gamma correction value, a correction value for each color (R correction value,
The read image data is corrected to an appropriate value by G correction value, B correction value), color / monochrome information, negative / reversal information, and the like. When the user gives an instruction to correct the brightness value, the image data is further corrected based on the value. Then, it progresses to step S42.

On the other hand, if it is not the command for instructing the image reading in step S34, the scanner controller 2
6 determines whether the received command is a command for reading and writing magnetic information (step S3).
6). When the command is a command for reading and writing magnetic information, the scanner control unit 26 permits the reading and writing operations when the film cartridge FC is loaded. Then, the scanner control unit 26 drives the film by the motor 44, the magnetic head 48 and the magnetic detection unit 50 read and write the magnetic information on the film, display the operating state and the magnetic information, and read the magnetic information. Information is stored (step S37). Then, it progresses to step S42.

On the other hand, if the command is not a command to read or write magnetic information in step S36, the scanner control unit 26 determines whether the received command is a command to select a screen size (step S38). ). When the command is an instruction to select the screen size, the film scanning condition is changed according to the instruction content. The screen size changes include the following. (A) Changes due to film format.
(B) Modification based on magnetic information. (C) Change by trimming instruction. (D) Change by zoom instruction.

As an example, FIG. 7 shows an example of the format change between the standard size of the film cartridge FC and the 135 film. Film size 70 and line sensor 7
2 will be described when switching the size from 135 film to film cartridge FC (xa, y
The usage area of the licensor 72 is changed from ca to cb so that (a) becomes (xb, yb).

Further, in the change by the trimming instruction, the motor 28 changes the scan area according to the instruction content. In addition, in the case of the change by zooming, the motor 32, the image pickup unit 24, and the unit of the lens unit 22, which are surrounded by broken lines, are changed to the configuration shown in FIG. Thus, a zoom lens 74 is newly provided, and the motor 32 is switched to drive both the focusing lens unit 22 and the zoom lens 74, thereby zooming the image up to the designated magnification. Is possible (step S3)
9). Then, it progresses to step S42.

On the other hand, if the command is not a command to select the screen size in step S38, the scanner control unit 26 determines whether the received command is a command to instruct focus adjustment (step S40). When the command is a command for instructing focus adjustment, the scanner control unit 26 drives the motor 32 from a manually or automatically adjusted focus value to move the focus lens unit 22 in a direction LF perpendicular to the lens optical axis. Move in the -LR direction (step S41). When the focus adjustment is completed, the process proceeds to step S42.

When a command other than this is accepted, it is treated as a command not defined in this scanner device. That is, it is determined that the command is a command used by a device other than the scanner device or a signal error due to reception noise, and the process is not performed, and step S42 is performed.
Proceed to.

Next, in step S42, the scanner control unit 26 subtracts "1" from the value of the timer TM and determines whether TM≤0 holds (step S43). TM ≦ 0
If is not satisfied, the process returns to step S31 again,
Repeat judgment of command reception. On the other hand, when TM ≦ 0 holds, the process of “command reception” is ended.

FIG. 9 is a flow chart showing the "film feed" processing in the flow chart shown in FIG.
Depending on the form of the loaded film, different film driving methods, driving control, and driving amount detection are performed, and the film is moved by a predetermined amount corresponding to the designated number of frames.

First, the scanner controller 26 determines whether the loaded film is the film cartridge FC.
That is, it is determined whether the film cartridge FC or the 135 film (step S51). If it is a film cartridge FC, the moving frame number information NREL is read (step S52). Then, the absolute frame number NABS is calculated from the current frame position and the moving frame number information NREL (step S53).

Next, the scanner controller 26 determines whether or not the moving frame number information NREL is "0" (step S54).
Here, when the moving frame number information NREL is "0", the frame does not move, so that the "film feed" process is terminated.

On the other hand, when the moving frame number information NREL is not "0", the scanner control section 26 further causes the absolute frame number NAB.
It is determined whether S is smaller than "0" or the absolute frame number NABS is larger than the film frame number NF (step S55). If the absolute number of frames NABS is smaller than "0" or larger than the number of film frames NF, a warning is displayed because the amount of movement of the film exceeds the number of frames (step S5).
6). Then, it is confirmed to the operator whether or not the film is rewound (step S57). Here, when rewinding,
The rewind operation of the film cartridge FC is performed (step S58), and then the "film feed" processing ends. On the other hand, when the film is not rewound, the "film feed" process is terminated.

In step S55, the absolute frame number N
When ABS is not less than "0" and absolute frame number NABS is not larger than film frame number NF, that is, when absolute frame number NABS is within the film frame number, the scanner controller 26 further determines the moving frame number. Information (number of relative moving frames) NREL
Is smaller than "0" (step S5)
9). If it is smaller than "0", the scanner control unit 26 rewinds by the motor 44 by the number of relative moving frames NREL (step S60). On the other hand, when it is larger than "0", the scanner control unit 26 winds the relative moving frame number NREL by the motor 44 (step S61). The control of rewinding and winding is performed while detecting the output of the motor 44 which is a drive unit corresponding to the film cartridge FC and the output of the photo reflector 38 which is a movement detection unit. Then, the process of "film feed" is completed.

When the film loaded in step S51 is other than the film cartridge FC,
That is, when it is a piece film cover PC, 13
Since the control using the rewinding / winding control mechanism according to 5 films is performed, the processing content is different from that of the film cartridge FC. Note that here, step S62
Since the processing procedure of to S71 is the same as the processing procedure of the above steps S52 to S61 in the case of the film cartridge FC, the description thereof will be omitted.

In step S68, the operation corresponding to the rewinding operation of the film cartridge FC into the inside of the cartridge is the discharging operation of the piece film cover PC due to the difference in the film form.

Next, a scanner device according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
