[0001] APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING GUIDE IMAGE USING PARAMETER [0002]

[0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for generating a guide image using parameters, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for generating a guide image by using a parameter representing a structure of a multi- To an apparatus and method for generating a guide image of a 'multi-screen theater'.

Conventionally, a two-dimensional image is projected on a single screen disposed in front of an auditorium to reproduce images such as movies and advertisements in a theater. However, under such a system, the audience was forced to view only 2D (2D) images.

In recent years, 3D image technology has been developed that can provide stereoscopic images to the audience. 3D image technology is a technology that allows a user to feel stereoscopic effects in a plane image when different images are entered into the left eye and right eye of a person, The principle is to use two cameras equipped with different polarizing filters at the time of image capturing and to use glasses equipped with a polarizing filter at the time of viewing the images so that different images can be entered into the left eye and the right eye.

However, such a 3D technology can provide a stereoscopic image to a user, but still has a limitation in that the image itself is less immersive because it is merely viewing an image reproduced on a single screen. Also, there was a limitation that the direction of stereoscopic feeling that the audience perceives is limited to the direction in which a single screen exists. In addition, the conventional 3D technology is inconvenient to viewers because it is necessary to wear glasses or the like equipped with a polarizing filter at the time of watching the video, Sensitive audiences could feel dizziness or loudness.

Accordingly, a so-called 'multi-screen screening system' has been proposed, which can solve the problems of the conventional screening system based on a single screen. The 'multi-screen screening system' is a system in which a plurality of projection screens (screens, walls, etc.) And reproduces one unified image on a plurality of projected surfaces, thereby providing a sense of stereoscopic effect and immersion to the audience. In addition, the term "multi-screen movie theater" means an auditorium in which such a multi-screen screening system is built.

In order to effectively operate the multi-screen display system, techniques for effectively correcting images projected on a plurality of projection surfaces are required. In the 'multiple screening system', a plurality of images projected on a plurality of projection planes other than a single projection plane must be integrally corrected, and the manner in which a plurality of images are corrected as the structure of an auditorium changes, Because the calibration process is very complex and the likelihood of errors is very high.

Accordingly, there is a demand for technologies that can assist in the image correction process of such a multi-screen display system.

The present invention has been invented based on such a technical background and has been invented to provide additional technical elements which can not easily be invented by a person having ordinary skill in the art, as well as satisfying the technical requirements of the present invention.

The guide image is a reference image that can be utilized in the process of correcting an image projected on the multifunctional display tube (an image projected on a plurality of projection surfaces = an image projected by two or more projection devices).

The guide images are first projected before the images to be actually displayed are projected, and the distortion information according to the surface structure of each projection surface, the property difference (color difference, reflectance difference, etc.) information of the plurality of projection surfaces, The above information can be utilized as a medium for collecting basic information of image correction such as performance difference (brightness difference, brightness difference, etc.) information of the projection apparatus and area information requiring masking (Masking).

In addition, the guide image can be utilized in a process of assigning images to the two or more projection devices, a process of confirming / reviewing the result of image correction, and the like. In addition to these processes, have.

The parameter manager 110 manages parameters indicating the structure of the multi-screen theater. For example, the parameter management unit 110 may generate, modify, and update parameters indicating the structure of the multi-screen theater based on the actual information of the multi-screen theater, the image information of the multi-screen theater, the drawing information of the multi- And the like.

Here, the actual information of the multifunctional display pipe may be transmitted through the communication unit 140 or the like as information generated by a measurement device for measuring the structure of the multifunctional display pipe. Also, the image information of the multi-image screening pipe can be transmitted through the communication unit 140 or the like similarly to the information generated by the camera device for photographing the structure of the multi-screening screen. In addition, the image information of the multi-image screening pipe may be transmitted reflecting the projection device position information (or installation information) automatically generated through a sensor (for example, a gyroscope) installed in the projection device. In addition, the drawing information of the multi-image screening pipe may be transmitted through the communication unit 140 or may be transmitted from the database unit 130 as information corresponding to the design diagram information and the structural diagram information indicating the structure of the multi- Preferably in the form of a CAD file. In addition, the input information may be information input by the user, and may be transmitted through the input unit or through a user terminal connected to the communication unit 140, or the like.

The parameter managing unit 110 can generate a plurality of parameters that can represent the structure of the multi-screen theater. For example, in the case where the multi-screen theater is a multi-screen theater having the basic structure (the multi-screening system if the multi-screening system of the basic structure is constructed), at least nine parameters capable of expressing the basic structure can be generated. Specifically, the parameter management unit 110 includes a parameter (Theater Width) indicating the length of the front side of the auditorium, a parameter (Theater Depth) indicating the vertical length of the auditorium, 3) (Screen Ratio), (6) Screen Offset indicating the length from the top of the screen to the ceiling, (7) Screen A parameter (Rear Depth) indicating the length from the back side to the back side of the audience seats, and 9) a parameter (Rear Height) indicating the height of the back side of the viewer's seat . These nine parameters are shown in FIG.

The parameters generated by the parameter management unit 110 may be stored in the database unit 130, and may be integrated into a DB.

The guide image generator 120 generates a guide image of the multifunctional display using the parameters generated by the parameter manager 110. [ Specifically, the guide image generating unit 120 generates a guide image to be used in the image correcting process of the multi-image screening apparatus, using parameters DB-generated in the database unit 130 after being generated by the parameter managing unit 110 To generate a guide image.

In this case, the guide image generating unit 120 preferably generates a guide image of a shape corresponding to a developed view in which a plurality of surfaces (front, left, right, ceiling, floor, etc.) of the multi- . Accordingly, the guide image can be generated in a form that can be matched with the structure of the multi-screen theater, and detailed area information of the guide image can be expressed in the form of simplified two-dimensional information.

In addition, the guide image generating unit 120 may generate a guide image including a pattern in which a grid pattern and a circular pattern are mixed. This is because the distortion information of the image can be easily collected through the process of collecting the basic information of the correction or confirming the result of the correction through such a mixed pattern. Referring to FIG. 6, an example of a guide image including such a mixed pattern can be confirmed.

Referring to FIGS. 4 to 7, an example of a guide image that can be generated when the multi-view screen is a basic structure can be seen.

When the multi-view screen is formed in a basic structure, the guide image generator 120 generates a guide image that can be matched with the multi-screen theater of the basic structure, using various parameters including the above nine parameters can do. For example, the guide image generating unit 120 may generate a guide image having a width (Entire Width) of a guide image based on a parameter (Theater Width) indicating a length of the front side of the movie theater and a parameter (Theater Depth) And the height of the guide image (the height in the projected state) can be determined based on the parameter (Theater Height) indicating the height of the auditorium.

- Entire Width (mm) = Theater Width (mm) + 2 * Theater Depth (mm)

- Entire Height (mm) = Theater Height (mm)

Also, the guide image generator 120 may determine 1) the total resolution of the guide image by calculating 1) a horizontal resolution of the guide image, and then calculating a vertical resolution corresponding to the set horizontal resolution, or 2) After setting the vertical resolution of the guide image, the horizontal resolution corresponding to the set vertical resolution is calculated to determine the overall resolution of the guide image.

In the former case, the guide image generator 120 sets the guide image width of the guide image to a predetermined value (for example, 9216 pixels), and sets the guide image width of the set guide image, (Length in the projected state) and the number of pixels (Pixel) using the width of the guide image and the width of the guide image (Entire Width).

- Pixel Ratio (Pixel / mm) = (Guideimg Width / Entire Width)

After the pixel ratio information is calculated, the guide image generating unit 120 generates a vertical resolution of the image of the shopping guide image using the pixel ratio information and the height of the guide image (Entire Height) (Guideimg Height).

- Guideimg Height = Pixel Ratio * Entire Height

Accordingly, the overall resolution of the guide image can be determined through this process.

In the latter case, the guide image generating unit 120 sets the guide image height information of the guide image to a predetermined value (for example, 3012 pixels), and outputs the guide image height information (Length in the projected state) and the number of pixels (Pixel) using the height of the guide image and the height of the guide image (Entire Height) .

- Pixel Ratio '(Pixel / mm) = (Guideimg Height' / Entire Height)

After the pixel ratio information is calculated, the guide image generating unit 120 generates pixel ratio information by using the pixel ratio information and the width of the guide image (Entire Width) And determines the horizontal resolution (Guideimg Width ').

- Guideimg Width '= Pixel Ratio' * Entire Width

Accordingly, the overall resolution of the guide image can be determined through this process.

Meanwhile, the guide image generating unit 120 can distinguish the detailed areas of the guide image using the pixel ratio (Pixel Ratio or Pixel Ratio ') information generated above, and generate information on the divided areas . Specifically, the guide image generating unit 120 generates a guide image based on the pixel ratio (Pixel Ratio or Pixel Ratio) information generated above and the parameters stored in the database unit 130 (Theater Width, Theater Depth, , Screen Offset, Screen Ratio, Front Depth, Rear Depth, Rear Height, and the like), and can generate information on the divided regions using the coordinates of the pixels.

For example, the guide image generator 120 may divide the generated guide image into a left side area, a front area, and a right area, as shown in FIG. 5, and may generate information of the areas. (For reference, in the example of Fig. 5, the pixel ratio is calculated based on the horizontal resolution information, and the point where the left side area starts is set as X = 0 and the lower side of the screen is set as Y = 0 .

- Left side area: X = [0 ~ Theater Height * Pixel Ratio]

- Front area: X = [Theater Depth * Pixel Ratio ~ (Theater Depth + Theater Width) * Pixel Ratio]

- Right side area: X = [(Theater Depth + Theater Width) * Pixel Ratio - Guideimg Width]

Also, as shown in FIG. 5, the guide image generating unit 120 may divide the screen area formed on the front surface and generate information of the corresponding area.

- Screen area: X = [Guideimg Width / 2 - (Screen Width / 2) * Pixel Ratio - Guideimg Width / 2 + (Screen Width / 2) * Pixel Ratio]

Also, the guide image generator 120 may additionally generate reference line information related to the screen area.

- Screen center vertical line: X = Guideimg Width / 2

- Screen center horizontal line: Y = (Screen Height / 2) * Pixel Ratio

- Horizontal line at the top of the screen: Y = (Screen Height) * Pixel Ratio

- Horizontal line at the bottom of the screen: Y = 0

This reference line information can be utilized in the process of aligning the screen area and the left side right side area (alignment process).

In addition, the reference line can be visually represented on the guide image together with a pattern in which the grid and the circular pattern are mixed.

7, the guide image generating unit 120 may distinguish a masking region (an area for preventing projection of an image to prevent an audience from glare) formed on the left or right side surface, Can be generated.

In this case, the guide image generation unit 120 generates a parameter (Front Depth) indicating the length from the screen to the audience seats, a parameter (Rear Depth) indicating the length from the back seat back to the back seat of the audience, (Rear Height), and pixel ratio (Pixel Ratio) information. The masking area can be expressed using the vertex coordinates of the masking area.

7 shows a masking region formed in a rectangular shape. The masking area included in the left side area may be specified by the coordinates of A, B, C, and D, and the masking area included in the right side area may be specified by the coordinates of E, F, G,

Accordingly, the guide image generating unit 120 generates a guide image matching with the structure of the multi-image screening pipe and simultaneously generates information about the detailed areas of the multi-screening pipe. Thus, the accuracy of the multi- And the probability of occurrence of image distortion can be remarkably reduced.
