It is composed of an output unit 500 for outputting the 3D stereoscopic color image is completed by the back processing.

Hereinafter, the use state and operation of the present invention will be described.

The user inputs a bill or coin of a predetermined amount into the money input unit 30.

When the banknote or coin is input, the authenticity, the defective currency and the amount of the banknote or coin put in the money recognition device unit 40 are checked, and when it is determined that the currency and the money are normal, the control signal is transmitted to the controller 130. Is authorized.

By the switching signal applied from the money recognition device unit 60, the control unit 130 controls each unit device to activate the function of the device.

While the device is activated, the user operates the operation switch unit 40 while viewing the composite image menu displayed on the monitor unit 70 to select a self image and a special image to be synthesized, and the selected special image and self When the synthesized image is displayed on the monitor unit 70, the user sets a desired posture and facial expression and turns on the photographing start switch of the operation switch unit 40. FIG.

When a plurality of people want to take a picture simultaneously before turning on the shooting switch during the operation of the operation switch unit 40, the monitor unit 70 is to be arranged three-dimensionally before and after each one in the output 3D stereoscopic image You can shoot by selecting the menu on the menu.

When the user turns on the shooting switch, the image captured by the camera automatically processes a plurality of images (8 to 16) so that the three-dimensional image can be realized by the special image processing unit 110. )

In the special image DB storage unit 120, the special image processing unit 110 outputs a photographic image signal to the special image synthesizing unit 140, and simultaneously controls the stored special image selected by the user. In accordance with the output to the special image synthesis unit 140.

Here, the image DB stored in the special image DB storage unit 120 is a simple graphic such as a composite image of a conventional sticker photo vending machine, as well as realism of stereoscopic images such as images of real pictures such as animals, natural scenery, plants, etc. The image that can maximize the DB is stored.

The special image DB storage unit 120 is configured of a storage medium such as a hard disk (HDD) or a DVD that digitally processes a special image DB such as a character and a background synthesized with the subject image and stores the special image graphic.

The special image synthesizing unit 140 synthesizes the composite image output from the special image processing unit 110 and the composite image output from the special image DB storage unit 120 to implement a three-dimensional image and combines the multiple images. In order to print in 3D image, it is converted to the lenticular printing format and output.

3 is a conceptual diagram for explaining the principle of stereoscopic image synthesis in the special image synthesizing unit 140.

The left image 111 and the right image 112 captured by the left and right cameras 20 and 30 photographing the subject are processed independently and are image interlaced by the image processor 113.

Image interlacing is an image processing process that converts 12 screens created from different angles into 1 computer file to realize 3D stereoscopic images.

In FIG. 3, the 3D stereoscopic image obtained by synthesizing the special image image is implemented by simultaneously performing the image interlacing process on the image to be synthesized by the image processor.

Reference numeral 114 denotes an image combining processing unit and 115 denotes a lenticular sheet.

The lenticular sheet supplying unit 200 is composed of a lenticular sheet feeding unit 220 and a guide unit 230 to remove and transfer one sheet from the lenticular sheet storage unit 210 so that the lenticular sheet feeding unit 220 and the guide unit 230 are provided. ) Transfers the lenticular sheet to the printing unit 300 so that the digital image output signal processed as the special image in the printing unit 300 can be printed on the back of the lenticular sheet so that an error does not occur in the pitch interval and arrangement. It acts to wit.

In the lenticular sheet storage unit 210, in order to print directly on the back of the lenticular sheet made of transparent resin using a plotter, coating is performed with a chemical agent to enable printing of pigments or dyes, and then the lenticular sheet is finished. Lay out and store.

The lenticular sheet feeding unit 200 ensures that each lenticular sheet is placed at the correct position of the plotter so that an error does not occur in the pitch interval and arrangement with the lenticular lens so as not to cause an error when printing on the plotter. This is necessary.

The printing unit 300 prints a composite image interlaced with the image by the special image synthesizing unit 140 on the rear surface of the lenticular sheet transferred and placed from the lenticular sheet supply unit 200.

4 is for explaining the principle of printing a special image synthesized in the lenticular sheet in the printing unit 300 as a 3D stereoscopic image.

In the lenticular sheet 600 used in the present invention, 72 micro-convex lenses 610 per inch of a transparent resin material are arranged in the longitudinal direction on the front surface, and the sheet back surface 620 is coated with a media coating to enable printing. The part 630 is formed.

720DPI high quality printing is performed on the media coating unit 630 formed on the lenticular sheet rear surface 620 using a color inkjet printer.

That is, 10 3D image dot array units 640 are printed on one lenticular lens.

After printing a special image on the back surface 620 of the lenticular sheet in the printing unit 300, the printed portion is coated and sticker-treated on the coated paper and the coated paper attaching unit 400 to the outside through the output unit 500. A lenticular 3D stereoscopic sticker photo is printed.

The reason for coating the printed portion of the lenticular sheet back 620 in the above is to protect the printing surface and to prevent excessive light transmission.

As described above, the 3D stereoscopic sticker photographic vending machine using the lenticular sheet of the present invention converts the digital image signal into a digital signal by performing an image interlacing process of synthesizing the photographic image and the special image, and media coating the digital image signal on the back of the printing unit. The high quality color printing on the processed lenticular sheet can produce high quality three-dimensional sticker photographs, and the pitch with the lenticular lens on the back of the lenticular sheet can be achieved by using a high-precision feeding and guiding device for supplying the lenticular sheet to the printing unit. And there is an effect to enable high-precision color printing by making the arrangement without errors.
