Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically turn an object to an ideal posture without troubling the judgement of a photographer and the object and to execute photographing by turning the posture to a photographing device of the object to an optimum state by a posture optimization means. SOLUTION: In the case that all sensors 8 at five parts detect the pressure of the object 6, a computer 1 judges that the object 6 is sitting at an ideal photographing position and the posture is excellent and executes a photographing processing by the photographing device 5. In the case that the one not detecting the pressure is present among the sensors 8 at the five parts, the computer 1 displays the alarm message of 'posture defect' or the like on a monitor 2 and informs the photographer or the object 6. Then, after fixed time elapses after the alarm message is displayed, the computer 1 operates angle adjustment driving power by the angle adjustment device 9 of a chair 7 and controls adjustment corresponding to the position of the sensor 8 not detecting the pressure. At the point of time that all, the sensor 8 detect the pressure, the computer 1 stops the angle adjustment driving power and executes the photographing processing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An image photographing apparatus according to the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1 has a computer 1 for controlling the entire image photographing apparatus, a monitor 2 connected to the computer 1 as display means, and a computer 1. A printing device 3 connected as an output device; a keyboard 4 connected to the computer 1 as an input device; a photographing device 5 such as a TV camera connected to the computer 1 as an image input device; A chair 7 on which the user sits, a sensor 8 of a pressure detection type which will be described later in detail connected to the computer 1 as a subject position detecting means, and a powered angle for adjusting the angles of a seat plate 10 and a backrest 11 provided on the chair 7 respectively. And an adjusting device 9. The chair 7, the sensor 8, and the angle adjusting device 9 constitute an image capturing assisting device.

If the angle (posture) of the subject 6 relative to the photographing device 3 is not an ideal angle (for example, 90 degrees), it is necessary to change the angle of the photographing device 5 or the subject 6.

In this case, the following three measures can be considered.

(1) The photographing device 5 is fixed and the angle of the subject 6 is adjusted.

2 The object 6 is fixed and the angle of the photographing device 5 is adjusted.

(3) The angles of the photographing device 5 and the subject 6 are adjusted.

In the present embodiment, as described above, the angle of the subject 6 is adjusted by fixing the photographing device 5 in consideration of enabling correction of the image after photographing in the horizontal and vertical directions. Is adopted.

Here, in order to automatically adjust the angle of the subject 6, it is necessary to automatically detect the adjustment angle of the chair 6.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, when the subject 6 sits on the chair 7 in an ideal posture during photographing, the pressure detection type sensor 8 is always attached to a position where weight is applied. That is, a total of five positions, two at the position corresponding to the thigh of the subject 6, one at the position corresponding to the waist of the subject 6 of the backrest 11, and two at the position corresponding to the back on the seat plate 10 of the chair 6. Each of the pressure detection type sensors 8 is attached, and the detection result of each sensor 8 is input to the computer 1, and the computer 1 determines whether the angle of the subject 6 with respect to the photographing device 5, that is, whether the posture is correct or not. .

Next, the operation of the image photographing apparatus according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When photographing the subject 6 with this image photographing apparatus, the computer 1 determines that all five sensors 8 have detected the pressure of the subject 6 (step S).
1) As shown in FIG.
It is determined that the user is sitting and the posture is good, and the photographing device 5 executes photographing processing (step S9). At this time, a message such as “good posture” may be displayed on the monitor 2.

If any of the five sensors 8 does not detect pressure, the computer 1 displays a warning message such as "Poor posture" on the monitor 2 (step S2), and the photographer or the subject 6 Notify.

Next, the computer 1 displays the warning message—after a lapse of a fixed time, the angle adjusting device 9 of the chair 7
Is operated to control the adjustment according to the position of the sensor 8 whose pressure has not been detected.

That is, the sensor 8 at the back position of the backrest 11
Is not detected (step S3), as shown in FIG. 4, the seat plate 10 of the chair 7 is moved upward by the angle adjusting device 9 (step S4).

Next, when the sensor 8 on the surface of the seat plate 10 has not been detected (step S5), the backrest 11 is moved forward as shown in FIG. 5 (step S6).

When all the sensors 8 detect the pressure (step S7), the computer 1 sets the angle adjusting device 9
Is stopped (step S8), and the photographing process is executed (step S9).

According to the present embodiment, before the photographed image is corrected, the positional relationship between the photographing device 5 and the subject 6 sitting on the chair 7 is adjusted so that the post-photographing correction work and the re-photographing work are performed. Work amount can be reduced.

The posture control of the subject 6 which has been dependent on the photographer's judgment can be automated, and the photographing function can be extended without changing the photographing device 5 and the computer 1 for image processing.

It is possible to substitute the work of the photographer for determining the shooting angle of the body 6 and for instructing the subject 6 to change the angle.

The operation of judging and changing the angle of the object 6 with respect to the photographing device 5 can be substituted.

[0045]

According to the present invention described above, it is possible to provide an image photographing apparatus capable of automatically performing photographing with an object in an ideal posture without bothering the photographer and the object.

Further, according to the present invention, a configuration using a photographing apparatus, posture optimizing means including a subject posture detecting means and an angle adjusting means provided on a chair, and a computer device for performing posture optimizing control is provided. In addition, it is possible to provide an image photographing apparatus that can automatically perform photographing with a subject in an ideal posture without bothering the photographer and the subject.

Further, according to the present invention, the angle of the seat plate of the chair and the angle of the backrest are adjusted by using the angle adjusting means and the pressure detection type object posture detecting means provided on the chair, and the object is adjusted. It is possible to provide an image capturing assistance device that can guide the user to an ideal posture.
