At this time, the optimized other background image may be visually the same as the background image selected by the administrator, or an image that can be similarly recognized and express a three-dimensional feeling more. Alternatively, the content production apparatus 100 may determine a dynamic or three-dimensionally implemented background image corresponding to the target image by using the result of analyzing the selected target image.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the content production apparatus 100 may set a predetermined virtual space and fill the virtual space with the background image as a whole. The content production apparatus 100 can generate a resultant content by arranging a target image in a predetermined virtual space. The content production apparatus 100 may smoothly process the boundary of the image so that the target image is not too crowded within the virtual space or the background image. In addition, the content production apparatus 100 may further synthesize additional effect contents so that the background image has a more three-dimensional effect. The separate effect content can be determined based on the object included in the background image. For example, if the background image includes a sky image for the sky object, then the cloud object may be additionally synthesized as separate effect content to produce the resulting content. At this time, the separate effect contents may have a movement (animation effect) or a random movement to move to a predetermined degree in a predetermined cycle. Of course, the resulting content may further include the effect content selected by the administrator.

Accordingly, the content production apparatus 100 according to the embodiments of the present invention synthesizes the background image and the target image, which are three-dimensionally implemented or dynamic motion, without stereoscopically converting the image, in order to stereoscopically provide the image So that stereoscopic result contents can be generated. According to an embodiment of the present invention, even if the background image to be synthesized is not stereoscopic, stereoscopic effects can be imparted to the resulting image by synthesis with the target image. In addition, the content production apparatus 100 according to the embodiments of the present invention may further perform the step of generating modified content that can be displayed on a device that implements a virtual reality or augmented reality from the generated resultant content.

Referring to FIG. 5, a content generation method according to embodiments of the present invention includes a step S210 of receiving a signal for selecting a target image from an administrator, a step S220 of determining an effect content for a target image, A result of synthesizing the effect contents with the effect contents S230, and a step S240 of changing the generated result contents stereoscopically.

In S210, the content production apparatus 100 may receive a signal for selecting an image from an administrator. A signal capable of selecting a target image can be generated by an interface provided through the content production apparatus 100. [

In S220, the content production apparatus 100 may determine the effect content according to the input of the manager. The content production apparatus 100 can select and determine the effect content according to the input obtained by the manager. Alternatively, the content production apparatus 100 may determine the dynamic or stereoscopically implemented effect content corresponding to the target image by using the result of analyzing the selected target image.

In S230, the content production apparatus 100 may generate content as a result of combining effect contents with the target image. The content production apparatus 100 can generate three-dimensional result contents by synthesizing the three-dimensional effect contents with the target image. The content production apparatus 100 can generate the resultant content having a dynamically moving effect by composing the effect content having the dynamic motion to the target image.

The content production apparatus 100 may perform a correction to change the resultant content in a three-dimensional manner by adding a three-dimensional feeling to the resultant content generated after synthesizing the effected content (S240). For example, the resultant content generated by the content production apparatus 100 may be included in a virtual space, a virtual reality, which is filled with a predetermined background color or a background image so as to have a three-dimensional feel. The content production apparatus 100 may add a line that can be recognized as moving in addition to the target image and the effect content, curve a line included in the target image and the effect content, A three-dimensional feeling can be added. Also, the content production apparatus 100 may change the format of the resultant content to be implemented, provided, or optimized through the device providing each virtual space or virtual reality.

Accordingly, the content production apparatus 100 according to the embodiments of the present invention can provide the input target image and the selected effect content as dynamic and three-dimensional result contents.

6 is a flowchart for explaining an embodiment of adding a background image to target images selected by the administrator by the content generation apparatus 100. [

Referring to FIG. 6, a content generation method according to embodiments of the present invention includes receiving (S310) a signal for selecting a first target image and a second target image by an administrator (S310) (S330) of determining whether the first background image corresponding to the first target image and the second background image corresponding to the second target image are the same (S330) (S340) of synthesizing the first and second target images together with one first background image to generate first and second resultant contents, if they are equal to each other. And combining the first and second target images with the first and second background images, respectively, if the background images are different from each other (S350). In step S320, the content production apparatus 100 can select the background images corresponding to the first and second images using the manager input, respectively.

In S330, the content production apparatus 100 may determine whether the first background image corresponding to the first target image and the second background image corresponding to the second target image are the same. For example, the content production apparatus 100 can determine whether the background images are the same by comparing the indexes assigned to the background images. The content production apparatus 100 may determine whether or not the background images are the same through the same objects included in the background image. At this time, the content production apparatus 100 may use an image comparison algorithm. Even if the first and second background images are not completely identical, they can be judged to be the same when the same object is included or coincides with a predetermined threshold ratio or more.

In S340, if the background images are identical to each other, the content production apparatus 100 may generate the resultant content by combining the first and second images with the background image. At this time, the content production apparatus 100 may determine the arrangement of the first and second target images in consideration of the relationship between the first and second target images. Where the relationship is set by the administrator, may be related to the order in which it is provided, and may be related to the location. More specifically, the content production apparatus 100 arranges the first and second target images in consideration of the posterior relationship between the first and second target images. That is, on the background image, the content can be generated such that the target image to be provided first from the reference position is recognized and expressed more closely. In order to prevent confusion between the first object included in the first object image and the first object included in the second object image when the objects included in the first and second images are identical to each other, The first image and the second image can be superimposed on each other.

In step S350, the content production apparatus 100 may generate contents that individually include the first and second target images, respectively, when the background images are different.

In order to stereoscopically provide a plurality of images as described above, the content production apparatus 100 may provide a plurality of target images on one background image in accordance with the background images extracted from the plurality of images.

Figs. 7 to 11 are examples of the resultant contents generated by the content production apparatus.

7, the content production apparatus 100 may determine the position of the target image img1 in the virtual space VC and arrange the target image img1 in the determined position. The content production apparatus 100 arranges the target image img1 at a position distant from the base-point by a distance of the image determined according to a predetermined formula, And the direction of the target image img1 is rotated by the angle of the image. At this time, the angle of the image also considers the user's gaze or the direction or the position of the object included in each image. For example, when the object of the target image (img1) is located on the lower side of the image, it can be arranged to have a negative angle with respect to the plane including the reference position. When the object is located on the upper side of the image, it can be arranged to have a positive angle with respect to the plane including the reference position.

8, the content production apparatus 100 uses the result obtained by analyzing the target image img2 input by the administrator or the input obtained from the manager, (obj2) at the reference position.

In addition, the content production apparatus 100 generates a background image (bg21) including a star object in the background image of the target image (more precisely, a background image viewed through a window in the vehicle) as a result of analyzing the target image or using an input from the manager ) Can be selected and determined. At this time, the background image bg21 may include a night sky image for the night sky object to impart a stereoscopic effect to the resultant content, and may include a dynamic effect (for example, Effect) can be given. In addition, the background image bg21 may include the night sky image and information on the speed and direction of movement of the star.

Also, in order to express the movement effect on the in-vehicle object obj2 included in the target image, the content production apparatus 100 may use the result of analyzing the target image (img2) The image bg21 may further include effect content ef2 including a slanting object indicating the moving effect. An oblique object contains a set of geometric shapes consisting of lines and can give a dynamic effect to the resulting content.

The content production apparatus 100 can also determine the background image bg22 including the road object as the background image of the target image img2 using the result of analyzing the target image img2 or the input from the manager . At this time, the background image b22 may include road images and physical information for the road object. The road image for the road object can give a stereoscopic effect to the resultant content, and dynamic effects can be imparted to the resulting content by moving the avenue based on the physical information about the road object.

The background image bg21 including the night sky object is disposed at the upper end of the target image img2 and the background image bg22 including the road object at the lower end of the target image img2 may be disposed. The content production apparatus 100 can select and determine a plurality of background images using a result of analyzing an input or image from an administrator. The content production apparatus 100 may calculate placement information of the one or more background images in consideration of location-related attributes (sky, sea, land, etc.) of a plurality of background images. By way of example, the background image may be positioned relative to an object of the target image at a suitable location within the virtual space, i.e., the vehicle interior object obj2 in the embodiment of FIG.

9, the content production apparatus 100 analyzes the target image img3 input by the administrator and analyzes the input image or the target image img3 obtained from the manager to analyze the target image (img3) (car) obj3 included in the current position (img3) can be placed at the reference position. The content production apparatus 100 may select the background image bg3 using the result obtained by analyzing the input or the target image img3 obtained from the manager and the background image bg3 may include the sky object that is raining . A non-falling sky object can impart dynamic or stereoscopic effects to the resulting content, including physical information about the non-image and non-image (e.g., the rate at which it is raining, etc.). In addition, when it is determined that the object (car) obj3 included in the second image moves, the content production apparatus 100 additionally synthesizes the effect content ef3 including the spray object generated by the moving object, And the spray object may contain spray information and physical information about the spray object.

10, the content production apparatus 100 receives the target image img41 and the target image img42 and receives the background images bg41 corresponding to the target image img41 and the target image img42, , bg42) can be determined as shown in Figs. 10 (c) and 10 (d). At this time, the background image may include a living room background object having a stereoscopic or dynamic feeling. Further, the background image can be selected and determined according to the manager input obtained from the manager. Since the first background image bg41 and the second background image bg42 are the same as shown in the figure, the content production apparatus 100 finally obtains a background image, a target image img41 and a target image img42 The resultant content can be synthesized. At this time, the content production apparatus 100 extracts the objects included in the target image (img41) and the target image (img42), and analyzes the object to determine the position of each object. For example, the distance to the target image img41 is set slightly closer to the reference position, and the distance to the target image img42 is set to a distance The distance may be set somewhat farther from the reference position.

Thus, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide stereoscopic and dynamic result contents by setting the background to sky and displaying the moving 3D flame content from the front without changing the existing 2D image.

With this method, it is possible to easily generate a dynamic image without modifying existing 2D image contents.
