Description

A device of feeding the three-dimensional image into-computer and a method of transmitting data}

The present invention relates to a three-dimensional image input device and a data transmission method, and more particularly, it is possible to more easily input a real three-dimensional image image rather than a virtual image created as a graphic in real time according to the user's key operation on the Internet network The present invention relates to a three-dimensional image input device and a data transmission method for solving a user's various inconveniences due to the absence of such a conventional means by providing an image input means to serve through.

With the rapid increase in computer penetration worldwide, the use of personal computers (PCs) can no longer be enjoyed by younger age groups, and the recent explosive growth in the Internet population has narrowed the gap between these age groups. It is losing. In general, a personal computer is a machine capable of receiving information and processing it according to a predetermined process and producing a result. Generally, a personal computer, a central processing unit, a main memory, an input device, an output device, an auxiliary memory device, It consists of other peripherals.

Virtual reality means that the human being can feel the virtual or the field they want to experience through the computer as in reality. Specifically, the user can feel the image in three dimensions in the three-dimensional environment generated using the computer. Adjusting the object to be manipulated using special glasses (Head Mounted Display (HMD)) for 3D modeling and simulation, Data Glove and Data Clothes that can input 3D motion data Say.

This can be seen as the ultimate goal of simulation and data retrieval development. For example, if you do not sit directly in the cockpit of a plane, you can use the virtual reality system to achieve a practice effect that is indistinguishable from real flight. Can be. It can also be used for medical anatomical experiments or appreciation or production of art. Two people can meet together to carry out the joint design of the building with virtual reality. Such a virtual reality is also called an artificial reality, a virtual environment, or a cyber space.

There is a virtual reality modeling language (VRML) as a language for describing 3D image that can be applied to such virtual reality. It is called 'Bermal' and is one of the standard languages for internet image technology. WebFX, WIRL, and Topper are search tools that effectively process languages and objects for 3D image processing.

The specification of the system for realizing such a virtual reality is generally high. As such, in addition to a program that runs on an individual computer, the virtual reality can be implemented on the Internet. The conventional 3D image virtual reality service selects a method of transmitting 3D graphic data back to a local computer according to a user's progress direction selection of graphic data randomly generated by a programmer in a web server. Therefore, not only the actual 3D video images such as movies are displayed on the screen, but also the user's feeling of depth is not only different, but also has to use separate utilities and equipment to create the graphic data.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, the object of which is to input a real three-dimensional image image more easily than the virtual image created in the graphic more easily through the Internet in accordance with the user's key operation on the Internet in real time By providing an image input means and a transmission method for servicing, it is possible to eliminate the inconvenience of having to use separate utilities and equipment for creating graphic data to be transmitted to a local computer for a virtual reality service.

Such an object of the present invention, in the image input device, an image input lens for recognizing a subject within a predetermined angle range, an optical unit for electrically converting data received from the image input lens, and a series of correction of the electrically converted data A data processing unit for performing a digital image, a data storage unit for storing the generated digital image, and a central control unit for adjusting and processing the optical unit and the data processing unit. In the image transmission method, which is achieved by including a plurality of input devices, in particular, the present invention includes the steps of continuously storing 360-degree images around an initial position at a unit time in an image input device, in a downstream stream. By using the direction keys of Internet users, Receiving the position data and transmitting frame data corresponding to the position data to a user in an upstream unit; and adjusting the downstream and upstream units in a central processing unit of the server and It includes the step of performing an iterative process.
