1 is a block diagram of a screen output advertisement apparatus for a captured image object corresponding to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the apparatus for outputting an image corresponding to a captured image object according to the present invention includes at least one image output unit 110 attached to an outer surface of a case to display an output target image; A camera 120 for capturing an object entering the output target image area of the image outputter 110; An image controller for outputting output image data to the image output unit 110 and detecting a target object entering the output image region of the camera 120 and outputting a preset output image which is transformed according to the target object to the image output unit 110 ( 130); And a case (140) in which the camera (120) and the image controller (130) are embedded and at least one or more of the image output devices are mounted on the outside thereof, and which store the output image data of the image controller (120). The image controller 110 having a built-in storage unit and attached to the outside of the case 140 may receive the output image data from the image controller 130 through the cable 135 such as an FPCB. Connected with

In the above-described configuration, the image output unit 110 may be configured as an image output device such as a CRT, an LCD, or a PDP, or may be configured as a screen area of a projection device configured as a screen displaying an output image of the image projector and the image projector. have.

After the image output unit 110 is configured with any one of the above-described CRT, LCD, PDP, or projection apparatus, the camera 120 includes a region corresponding to the image image screen output from the image output unit 110, or an image. The screen area displaying the output image of the projector is set to pick up the image area to be picked up.

As described above, when the image outputter 110 and the camera 120 are configured, the image controller 130 maps the output image region of the image outputter 110 to a virtual screen having a plurality of cell regions, and then each cell. Stores image data values of the output image. In this case, the image data value may be set to a pixel data value such as RGB or YUV. Thereafter, the image controller 130 receiving the captured image of the camera 120 maps the input image image to the virtual screen to detect a change in the image data value of the cell output image. In this process, when a change in the image data value occurs, the image controller 130 extracts an image object composed of cells having the changed image data value. After the image object is extracted, the output image data preset to change according to the image object is read from the storage unit and output to the image output unit 110. To this end, the storage unit stores the initial output image data and the preset output image data to be output in response to the image data of the photographed object.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a detailed process of a method for outputting an image corresponding to a captured image object corresponding to the present invention, FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating cell division using a virtual screen 131, and FIG. 4 is a captured image of a camera 120. FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a process of extracting an image object from an image, and FIGS. 5 and 6 are diagrams illustrating an example of an output image of an image outputter which is changed and output according to the extracted image object.

Referring to Figures 1 to 6 will be described in detail the processing of the image display object corresponding screen output advertising method of the present invention of Figure 2 as follows.

As shown in FIG. 2, the image controller 130 of FIG. 1 first maps the output image region of the image outputter 110 to the virtual screen 131 of FIG. 3 and divides the image region into a plurality of cell regions (S1). Image data values such as RGB and YUV for each divided cell region are stored (S2).

As described above, the virtual screen 131 of the present invention can be set as a screen area such as a monitor of a computer. The virtual screen 131 virtually divides an image output device image area into a plurality of cells and serves as a basic unit for analyzing and tracking image information. use. For example, when the image display object corresponding screen output advertisement apparatus of the present invention is driven to receive the image output image information for the first time, the RGB color value of the portion where the image information is located is stored as a basic comparison variable.

FIG. 3 illustrates an example of the virtual screen 131 so that the virtual screen is mapped to correspond exactly to the output image area of the image output device. The cells are 32 horizontally and 24 vertically (A, B, C ..., X) cells. As shown in FIG. 2, the image is divided into a total of 768 cells, and the image change of the magnetic region is checked. In FIG. 3, the independent cell 132 is a cell located in one column of J rows, and an initial RGB color value is set to (196,196,204). 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a virtual screen, which can be variously modified, and the present invention is not limited to the cell configuration conditions of FIG. 3.

As described above, after the image output region is divided into cell regions by the virtual screen and image data values corresponding to each cell are stored, the camera image capture region is mapped to the image output unit 110 output image region. In this process, setting the imaging area of the camera 120 to be the output image area of the image outputter 110 is as described above. That is, such a configuration may be an example of setting the imaging area of the camera by setting the monitor area of the computer to a virtual screen and setting the camera so that the image output area and the imaging area displayed on the monitor of the computer coincide (S3). ).

Thereafter, the image controller 130 stores image data of each cell obtained by dividing the output image of the image outputter 110 using a virtual screen, and maps the captured image region of the camera 120 to the image output image region. Afterwards, the camera 120 receives a captured image continuously input. In general, the captured image of the camera 120 received by the image controller 130 may be set to be input to the image controller 130 at 30 frames per second (S4).

After receiving the captured image from the camera 120 by the process S4, the image controller 130 maps the received camera image onto the virtual screen 131, and then stores the image data value (RGB) of each cell of the virtual screen 131. , YUV, etc.) is determined (S5).

As a result of the determination of the step S5, when the change of the image data value of each cell does not occur even after the reception of the captured image of the camera 120, the process moves to step S4 to repeat the process.

On the other hand, if the change of the image data value for each cell occurs even after receiving the captured image of the camera 120 as a result of the determination of S5, the image object is extracted by extracting a cell whose image data value is changed among the cells included in the virtual screen 131. Extract FIG. 4 illustrates the above-described image object extraction process according to FIGS. 3 to 6, and as shown in FIG. 4, in the case of the S3 process, there is no change of the initial image as shown in FIG. 4A. When the imaging target image image 10 of the human hand enters the image output area, the imaging target image image 10 having the human hand image is output to the virtual screen 131 as shown in FIG. . Thereafter, the image controller 130 extracts the image object 20 with respect to the captured image image by detecting the change of the image data value for each cell and extracting the changed image data value as shown in FIG. (S6).

After the image object 20 is extracted by the process S6, the image controller 130 converts the output image of the image output unit 110 in a predetermined manner and outputs the converted image. Herein, the predetermined method has various image output methods which are not specified.

5 and 6 illustrate embodiments of an image output method through the image output apparatus 100 corresponding to the image object 20. In the case of FIG. 5, new butterfly image objects are output to indicate that new image images are output on the output image of the original image outputter 110. In the case of FIG. 6, it indicates that new image objects are output to the surrounding area of the extracted image object 20, and the captured hand outputs butterfly image objects around the image, whereby butterflies emerge from the hand or butterflies. As they gather together by hand.

The control of the output image of the output method may be performed by a program such as Java or Java applet to update the image of the screen around the image region of the image pickup object, or to concentrate the image image objects around the image pickup object, or to output the image image. Various image output methods, such as being converted into a wave pattern centering on the image area of the imaging object and outputted, may be applied (S7).

After the screen is updated by the process S7, the image controller 130 updates and stores the change image data value of each cell again using the updated screen (S8).

Thereafter, when driving of the display image advertisement advertisement apparatus corresponding to the captured image object does not end, the process moves to step S4 to repeat the process (S9).

As described above, the apparatus for outputting an image corresponding to the captured image object and the method thereof according to the present invention may display an output screen of the image outputter 110 such that people watching the image outputter 110 and the image outputter 110 output images to interact with each other. It can be controlled and output.

The present invention described above is preceded by simply solving the software tracking of the change only by the change of the image data value such as the RGB color value for the corresponding image when the person approaching the output image area is captured by the camera. Compared to the technology, it is possible to easily implement a screen output advertisement apparatus corresponding to a captured image object without the need for any additional equipment.
