Description

Functional underwater imaging system using LED {Under water imaging system using LED}

The present invention relates to a functional underwater shooting system using LEDs, and more specifically, to diversify the subject from the existing method of obtaining a simple external image by photographing the subject underwater against the background of the colorful production of LEDs used as walls. The present invention relates to a functional underwater shooting system using LEDs, capable of implementing a splendid directing and obtaining an image or video as a work having artistic value.

An underwater camera is basically required for various underwater photography of subjects such as personal profile photography, wedding photography, and product photography. However, since underwater cameras are expensive, a huge loss occurs in system implementation.

Therefore, most of them take a method of filling water in a box made of transparent glass and photographing the subject underwater from the outside.

However, when a subject is photographed underwater in this classical method, an image of the subject shape as it is can be obtained, but images for various productions cannot be obtained. Because of this, the value of the work is inevitably reduced.

In recent years, taking into account that taking a video as a work of artistic value, away from a simple photo or image, has become a hot topic, the need for a system for acquiring it is on the rise.

Arranged, serves to irradiate indirect lighting toward the entire studio box (110). Both the direct lighting unit 171 and the indirect lighting unit 172 may be applied in plurality.

Meanwhile, the functional underwater shooting system according to the present embodiment further includes an input unit 190 and a system controller 180 for system control.

The input unit 190 is a means for inputting a predetermined signal to drive the functional underwater photographing system according to the present embodiment. It may be implemented in the form of a button, or may be in the form of a remote control or touch panel.

The system controller 180 controls the on/off operation of the LED 141, the light intensity, color or intensity of the LED 141, the camera 160, and direct lighting based on the input conditions of the input unit 190. The on/off operation of the unit 171 and the indirect lighting unit 172 is controlled. That is, if the input unit 190 is manipulated and inputted after the subject is placed using the hanger 150, the LED 141 is turned on/off according to the input condition, and the LED 141 is placed underwater. While the light intensity, color or intensity of ) is controlled, the camera 160 photographs the subject while the direct lighting unit 171 and the indirect lighting unit 172 are turned on. Accordingly, it is possible to derive various and splendid productions, for example, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 10, rather than the simple appearance of the subject.

The system controller 180 performing this role may include a central processing unit 181 (CPU), a memory 182 (MEMORY), and a support circuit 183 (SUPPORT CIRCUIT).

The central processing unit 181 is an on/off operation of the LED 141, the light intensity, color or intensity of the LED 141, the camera ( 160), it may be one of various computer processors that can be applied industrially to control on/off operations of the direct lighting unit 171 and the indirect lighting unit 172.

The memory 182 (MEMORY) is connected to the central processing unit 181. Memory 182 is a computer-readable recording medium that can be installed locally or remotely, and is readily available, such as, for example, random access memory (RAM), ROM, floppy disk, hard disk, or any other form of digital storage. It may be at least one memory.

The support circuit 183 (SUPPORT CIRCUIT) is coupled with the central processing unit 181 to support typical operations of the processor. This support circuit 183 may include a cache, a power supply, a clock circuit, an input/output circuit, a subsystem, and the like.

In this embodiment, the system controller 180 controls the on/off operation of the LED 141, the light intensity, color or intensity of the LED 141, and the camera 160 based on the input conditions of the input unit 190. ), to control the on/off operation of the direct lighting unit 171 and the indirect lighting unit 172, such a series of control processes may be stored in the memory 182. Typically software routines may be stored in memory 182 . Software routines may also be stored or executed by other central processing units (not shown).

Although processes according to the present invention have been described as being executed by software routines, it is possible that at least some of the processes of the present invention are performed by hardware. As such, the processes of the present invention may be implemented in software running on a computer system, or in hardware such as an integrated circuit, or in a combination of software and hardware.

According to the present embodiment, which operates based on the structure as described above, by shooting the subject underwater against the background of the splendid production of the LED 141 used as the wall, it is different from the conventional method of obtaining a simple external image, and various information about the subject and can implement splendid directing, and furthermore, it is possible to obtain an image or video as a work having artistic value.
