≪ Desc / Clms Page number 1 > Auxiliary Apparatus for Animal Nose Image Capturing on Mobile Devices &

The present invention relates to an apparatus for capturing an animal nose pattern using a camera built in a portable device. The present invention also relates to the use of a lens adapter and / or additional illumination in conjunction with a camera of a portable device to obtain a high quality cocoon image.

Almost all species of animals belonging to the Caniformia, Feliformia and Ruminantia have unique cogs (inscriptions) for each individual, such as each having a unique fingerprint pattern. Therefore, it has been attempted to develop an animal pattern recognition system using the uniqueness of inscriptions. The first step for this is to obtain a cog-edged image, which basically has two different approaches, contact and non-contact.

In the contact method, ink is applied to the nose and the nose image is obtained by using a capacitive touch sensor used for fingerprints or fingerprints. The ink rubbing method has been used to identify cows for a long time in Japan and elsewhere, but is not only a cumbersome and delicate process requiring skill, but also is impractical and impractical for small animals. Also, the contact-type method has the risk of creating distorted images from applying excessive or uneven pressure to the nose.

More recently, the non-contact method is to take a picture of the nose at a suitable distance using a camera. However, it may not be practical for general users because it requires a specially made dedicated camera and hardware. On the other hand, mobile devices with built-in cameras like smartphones and tablets offer a very convenient and cost-effective alternative. The inscription method using mobile devices combined with the app has many advantages over the dedicated camera system. Consumers or pet owners do not need to visit professional offices, they can be deployed in the cheapest amount, and provide a ubiquitous environment where anyone can utilize the technology at any time.

However, most mobile cameras (especially back camera) are not designed with special purpose in mind. For example, most animal noses have a three-dimensional shape with curved surfaces and require deep depth of field to focus simultaneously on the entire nose. Also, most noses are so small that the camera needs magnification, but many portable cameras do not have the depth of focus and angle of view to suit these shooting conditions. Excessive light and light can also be reflected in the moisture of the nose, which can interfere with obtaining good quality images.

In order to overcome these problems, the present invention introduces an additional device that can be attached to a portable device to obtain a good quality cocoon image. This device is very simple and does not require any modification of the hardware of the portable device, and is applicable to all kinds of portable camera.

These days, mobile camera cameras are designed to support high-end and support all common photo-shooting situations of ordinary users. Independent cameras, such as DSLRs, can easily be changed into parts that can be interchanged depending on the subject and situation, but the camera of a portable device is a product that is widely used and widely used. For special shooting situations, such as close-up shots, there are additional device options such as attachment lenses that enhance camera functionality. However, there is no prior art that solves the specific problems and problems in capturing an animal's nose image with a portable built-in camera.

Portable devices with built-in cameras, such as smartphones and tablets, provide a very convenient and cost-effective alternative. The inscription method using mobile devices combined with the app has many advantages over the dedicated camera system. Consumers or pet owners do not need to visit professional offices, they can be deployed in the cheapest amount, and provide a ubiquitous environment where anyone can utilize the technology at any time.

However, most mobile cameras (especially back camera) are not designed with special purpose in mind.

In order to overcome these problems, the present invention introduces an additional device that can be attached to a portable device to obtain a good quality cocoon image. The guide portion provides a stable image acquisition environment, and the mounting portion allows the attachment device to be simply and firmly mounted on a portable device. The lens attaching part allows a camera of a general mobile device to photograph an animal's nose image without hardware modification. The illuminator provides additional illumination to improve image quality.

This device is very simple and does not require any modification of the hardware of the portable device, and is applicable to all kinds of portable camera. The device also makes it possible to access animal coarse recognition technology more conveniently and inexpensively because each component and module can be applied to almost any type of portable device.

The present invention relates to an additional apparatus for attaching to a portable device such as a smart phone or a tablet for capturing an animal nose pattern. This device is attached to the outside of the portable device, so that the portable device itself does not require hardware modification. The most basic form of this apparatus is composed of a mounting portion and a guide portion, and the mounting portion on which the guide portion is mounted is also fixed to the portable device. This mounting part (and thus the whole device) is easily detachable from the portable device when not capturing a cocoon image. This mount was designed to fit regardless of the size of various portable devices and the position of the rear camera.

The guide section, whose length and entrance size are adjusted to fit the target animal, provides an appropriate image acquisition environment for obtaining good quality cocoon images by blocking direct sunlight and providing uniform illumination. The guiding part helps the user to take precise aim and focal length.

Use a camera built into the mobile device to shoot animal nose pattern images. But because it is a stereoscopic shape with an animal's koran surface and in many cases very small, most portable built-in cameras do not have the specs for capturing cocoon images. To solve this problem, the present invention uses an additional lens attaching portion. Through adjustment and selection of appropriate lens modules, the user can adjust the focal depth, focal length, and angle of view suitable for the subject animal. In particular, by using an additional zoom lens, the user can obtain a high-resolution image even in the case of a small nose.

The guide section is made translucent to block ambient light (eg, light that shines outside the guide) and to block excessive light (ie, camera flashes, sudden flashes of passing cars) that cause reflections on wet nose surface . However, if the surrounding environment is not sufficiently bright, the amount of light passing through the translucent guide portion may not be sufficient to obtain a clear and high quality cocoon image. To this end, the present invention provides a lighting unit. The illuminator is provided in various forms and provides additional direct or indirect illumination. In addition, the present invention provides an iris control mechanism that not only adjusts the depth of field, but also minimizes the inflow of light to avoid strong light reflection.

The lighting and various electronic control components are powered by disposable batteries, rechargeable batteries, or powered devices from portable devices. Further, a control section for controlling the light quantity and illumination pattern of the illumination section, the opening size of the diaphragm member, the convexity of the liquid lens, and the like is provided.

Hereinafter, the structure and operation of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, and the structure and operation of the present invention shown and described in the drawings will be described as at least one embodiment. The technical idea and its core composition and function are not limited. Accordingly, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications may be made to the essential components of a device for attaching a portable device for capturing an animal's nose image, without departing from the essential characteristics of an embodiment of the present invention. The lower strain will be applicable.

In describing the components of the present invention, the terms A, B, (a), (b), and the like can be used. These terms are intended to distinguish the constituent elements from other constituent elements, and the terms do not limit the nature, order or order of the constituent elements. When a component is described as being "connected", "comprising", or "configured" to another component, the component may be directly connected or connected to the other component, It is to be understood that the element may be "connected "," comprising "

The nose contact image acquisition method is superior to the various contact methods in terms of hygiene and convenience, and there is no image distortion caused by applying pressure to the nose. However, there is no difficulty in using the non-contact method.

An animal's nose has a pattern of interspersed beads (protruding parts) and bony shapes (intergrowths). When you take a cocoon image with a camera, the bone is generally darkened, but the beads become brighter. FIG. 1b, the bead shape and the bony shape that can be used for object discrimination are clearly visible through visual or inscription recognition algorithms. On the other hand, bad quality cocoon images taken without appropriate equipment or methods are shown in Fig. As the image of 1a is not seen well, it can not be used for biometrics.

FIGS. 2-22 shows a portable device for capturing an animal's nose image, and includes a mounting portion mounted on a portable device having a built-in camera. The rear camera is ideal for the camera of the portable device used. Fix the position so that the opening is aligned with the camera lens as illustrated in Fig.

Most of the currently available portable devices have a resolution high enough to capture images of the bones of animal cocoons, but there are many deficiencies in obtaining cocoons of the quality required for accurate biometrics. The quality of the image should be consistent. Ideally, the only variable when capturing a cocoon image is the cocoon itself. However, variables such as ambient light, light from passing cars, LEDs on handheld devices, and even winds can cause situations where the claws are obscured by light reflections or fur. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain a controlled photographing environment in order to reliably capture a cocoon image usable for biometrics. It is an object of the present invention to provide a minimum portable means for doing so.

The most basic form of the invention consists of a mounting part which is attached to the camera of the portable device in front. The mounting portion is a connecting part between any auxiliary parts that can acquire a high-quality coarse image that can not be obtained only by a portable device and a camera built in the portable device.

FIG. 2 is a front view, a rear view, and a side view of a mounting device attached to a portable device in a form including a mounting portion and a guide portion.

FIG. 3 shows an assembly form of an attachment device including a guide portion 301 for connecting and enclosing a space between an animal nose and a camera of the portable device, and a mounting portion 300 serving as means for detachably attaching the entire attachment device to the portable device. The guide portion surrounding the space between the animal's nose and the camera of the portable device stabilizes the camera's aiming at the nose of the subject animal and provides a uniform imaging environment within the guide during imaging. The guide portion 301 can have a different degree of opacity and can be completely opaque to uniformly block all light from the outside, translucent and evenly transmit ambient light, or completely transparent and transmit all ambient light can do.

FIG. 4, the mounting portion further includes fixing members 400 and 404, positioning members 401 and 405, primary mounting members 402 and 406, and secondary mounting members 403 and 407. The fixing members 400 and 404 are the core to which all other parts of the device are connected. The position adjusting members 401 and 405 can move left and right along the fixing members 400 and 404 and position the camera in front of the camera of the portable device. The secondary mounting members 403 and 407 can be attached to the positioning members 401 and 405 and take the form of a spiral as shown in the figure so that additional parts such as the guide unit 301 can be mounted. The interior of the position adjusting members 401 and 405, the fixing members 400 and 404, and the primary mounting members 402 and 406 are opened so as not to block the front of the camera lens. The primary mounting members 402 and 406 extend inwardly and outwardly from the sides of the fixing members 400 and 404 so as to fix the attachment device on both side edges of the portable device and have side buttons (e.g., volume and power button) To prevent contact with the tip of the leg. Fig. 4B, the fixing members 400, 404 and the primary fixing members 402, 406 can both be bent to a certain degree and can be used for a portable device having a curved surface.

On the other hand, it is practical that the size of the guide portion can be adjusted in order to capture noses of all sizes. Since the basic role of the guide portion is to block unwanted external light, the guide portion having an inlet that is too large or too small to be used for the nose of the animal of interest is inefficient.

FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of a guide portion whose inlet is sized using interchangeable interchangeable guide portions of different sizes. FIG. Reference numeral 5a is an example of a small guide portion having a small inlet fitting a small nose. FIG. 5b shows a middle guide portion having a middle-sized inlet to fit the middle-size nose. 5c shows a large guide portion having a large entrance fitting with a large nose. The replaceable guide portion of each size is removably attachable to the fixing member.

Another embodiment of the guide portion is shown in Fig. As shown in FIG. 6, the guide portion is tightened or loosened like a diaphragm to adjust the size of the inlet. The plurality of overlapping blades 600 and 604 are pivotally connected to the fixing rings 601 and 605 of the diaphragm guide portion and each of the blades 600 and 604 has one wing fixing pin 602 and 606 at an inlet- (603, 607). When fixing the size of the inlet of the guide portion, the position and angle can be fixed by passing through the fixing pin slot of the adjacent wing with the fixing pin of each wing. FIG. Like the 6a, the wings (600, 604) are simultaneously turned inward toward the center and tightened to create a narrow entrance for the small nose, Like 6b, it turns outward from the center to make a loose and wide entrance.

However, although there is no guide unit 301, it may be insufficient for capturing a cocoon image with a portable device camera alone. Most handheld cameras have some degree of macro and wide-angle capability, but they may not be able to capture very fine nose patterns or fit a very large nose into one frame. Macro photography also typically has a shallow depth of field, since only a portion of the nose is in focus, which can cause problems when dealing with noses with large, steep curved surfaces.

Accordingly, in order to solve such problems, the apparatus of the present invention further includes a lens attaching portion 700 having one or more lenses, which is attached on the position adjusting member 401 and is positioned between the portable camera lens and the subject animal nose . The lens attachment portion 800 may be composed of a lens module member 801, a tertiary attachment member 802, a diaphragm member 803 and a fourth attachment member 804 and is fixed directly above the camera lens of the portable device. And is mounted to the position adjusting member 401 using the secondary mounting member 403. The tertiary mounting member 802 is similar to the secondary mounting member 403, and additional components such as the guide portion 301 can be mounted.

FIG. 9 shows the configuration of the lens module member 900. Fig. The lens module member 900 may be composed of a macro lens 901, a wide-angle lens 902, a combination 903 in which a macro lens and a wide-angle lens are superposed, and a liquid lens 904. Each of the macro lens 901, the wide-angle lens 902 and the liquid lens 904 may be used independently or in combination with the third mounting member 802 to serve as a lens attaching unit 800 that complements the specification of a portable camera They can be used together in different combinations.

Depth of field is generally determined by three factors: aperture, focal length, and subject distance. If the other two variables are fixed, the larger the F-stop becomes, the smaller the entrance of the iris becomes, the depth of field becomes larger, the longer the focal length becomes, the smaller the depth of field becomes, and the closer the depth of field becomes, the smaller the depth of field becomes. However, in the case of close-ups, depth of field is most affected by two factors, aperture and magnification. The higher the aperture value, or the higher the magnification rate, the smaller the depth of field. The reason why the depth of field is so thin when the subject is close-up is because the enlargement rate is much higher than that of the normal shooting.

Generally, when shooting a cow image of a small or medium animal such as a dog or a cat, the magnification can not be lowered to a certain value, so an important parameter here is the aperture value. FIG. The lens attaching portion 1000 shown in Fig. 10A can be opened so that the diaphragm member 1002 is superimposed on the lens module member 1001 and the diaphragm member 1002 can be opened wider (Fig. 10b) (Fig. 10c), and can be manually or electronically adjusted using the attached levers 1004, 1005. The fourth mounting member 1003 attached to the diaphragm member 1002 is similar to the third mounting member 802 and the secondary mounting member 403 and may be equipped with additional components such as the guide portion 301. [

The lens attaching portion may further include a focus adjusting member capable of adjusting a focal length of the combined lens system by adjusting a distance between the lenses in the lens module member or a distance between the lens module member and the portable device camera lens.

FIG. Reference numeral 11 designates a screw-type focus adjusting member 1100. The distance between the lens mounting portion 1101 and the portable device camera (or the distance between the lenses in the lens module member 801 when one or more lenses are overlapped) is smaller than the distance between the lens mounting portion 1101 and the third- Or by loosening or loosening the connection of other components to the housing 1103.

FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 illustrates a foldable focusing member 1200. FIG. The lens attaching portion 1201 may be mounted on the fifth mounting member 1300 or 1301 located at the upper end of the telescopic type foldable cylinder or may be mounted on the second mounting member 403 located at the lower end of the cylinder, The adjustment member can be mounted to the third mounting member 802. [ When the lens attaching portion is constituted by two or more lenses, the lenses may be stacked on top of each other at the upper end or the lower end of the folding type focus adjusting member, or may be separately placed at the upper end and the lower end. When the lens attaching portion 1201 is not placed at the lower end, the folding focus adjusting member can be connected to the secondary mounting member 403. [ Also, the foldable focusing member can be fixed at various positions (lengths). 13a. 13b. ≪ / RTI >

FIG. 14 and 15 illustrate the accordion type focus adjusting member 1400. Fig. Here, the lens attaching portion 1401 may be mounted on the fifth mounting member 1500 or 1501 located at the upper end of the accordion, or may be mounted to the second mounting member 403 located at the lower end of the accordion, May be mounted to the member 802. Fig. When the lens attaching portion is composed of two or more lenses, the lenses may be stacked on top of each other at the upper end or the lower end of the accordion type focus adjusting member, or may be separately placed at the upper end and the lower end. When the lens attaching portion 1401 is not placed at the lower end, the accordion type focus adjusting member can be connected to the secondary mounting member 403. [ Also, the foldable focusing member can be fixed at various positions (lengths). 15a, as shown in Fig. 15b. ≪ / RTI >

The lens attaching portion may be configured in the following combination: a lens module member, an iris member, a focus adjusting member, a lens module member and an iris member, a lens module member and a focus adjusting member, a diaphragm member and a focus adjusting member, A diaphragm member, and a focusing member.

Also, additional illumination may be required to obtain a good quality nose image even if the guide and lens attachment completely fit the target nose. This is due to the guiding portion designed to block the fine grain and light from the outside. As mentioned above, the guide part may be translucent to some extent, but this may also be inadequate. Especially, using the light of a specific wavelength range (ultraviolet ray, infrared ray, etc.), it is possible to obtain the best quality cocoon image. Therefore, this additional device may further include an illumination part, and the shape of the illumination part may be changed by other components such as a written guide part type.

FIG. Reference numeral 16 designates an illumination part for the replaceable guide part 301. Fig. Because the nose of an animal has a curved surface, it is not possible to illuminate evenly the entire surface of the nose with a pattern depending only on the frontal light illuminated from the front. Therefore, Front lighting members 1601 and 1607 shown in Fig. Rear lighting members 1602, 1608 shown in Fig. And side illumination members 1603 and 1609 shown in FIG. Fig. 3, in which lighting members in three directions are used at once. As in the example shown in 16d, the illumination portion may include at least one directional illumination member at the same time. Each lighting direction has its own advantages. Front lighting most effectively illuminates most of the frontmost areas. Backlighting has the effect of increasing the overall brightness without directly illuminating an area. The side lighting emphasizes the contrast between the shape of the beads and the shape of the bones. The lighting unit may further include a power switch member (1600, 1602, 1604, 1606) for directly turning on or off the light without connecting directly to the portable device app. This means that the user can use the attachment device as a pure analog attachment while using the illumination portion.

FIG. Reference numeral 17 designates a shape of an illumination part for the iris type guide part. Fig. 17A, the front lighting members 1702, 1708, FIG. 17B, the rear lighting members 1703, 1709, and FIG. 1710 as shown in FIGS. 17A and 17B. Fig. 3, in which lighting members in three directions are used at once. As in the example shown in 17d, the illumination portion can simultaneously include illumination members in more than one direction. Since the diaphragm-type guide portion is made up of a set of separate wings 1700, the LED board is separately inserted into each wing. However, the power switch members 1701, 1703, 1705, and 1707 are connected to the entire illumination unit.

The illumination unit may be configured in the following combination of the front lighting member, the rear lighting member, and the side lighting member: only the front lighting member is used; Use only rear lighting members; Use side lighting only; Only the front lighting member and the rear lighting member are used together; Only the front lighting member and the side lighting member are used together; Only the rear lighting member and the side lighting unit are used together; Used together with front lighting element, rear lighting element and side lighting element. Furthermore, in any configuration, each of the illumination members can be turned on at the same time or turned on in a predetermined order.

Also important to the direction of the light source is the even distribution of light and the illumination of the subject. As mentioned above, a key function of the illuminator is to provide a uniform and controlled shooting environment for nose photography. A diffuser member acting as a physical barrier and regulator for ambient light coming from outside the guide portion and additionally for optimizing the effect of the illumination portion. Because there is always a water layer on the surface of the nose, using direct lighting causes a bright reflection that blurs the nose image. The solution to this phenomenon is to install a diffuser element in the guide to allow the illumination light to diffuse through or pass through various materials and surfaces before reaching the nose of the animal being inspected. The diffuser directs and randomizes the illumination directly to evenly illuminate the nose of the subject animal, minimizing the appearance of reflections in certain areas.

FIG. 18 illustrates the shape of the diffuser member for the replaceable guide portion 301. Fig. Wherein the diffuser member is embedded separately in the guide portion of each size. The inner wall 1800 includes reflective and refractive surfaces on which light from the illumination portion is reflected and refracted, and the diffuser surface 1801 further disperses the light before it reaches the animal's nose.

FIG. 19 illustrates the shape of the diffuser member for the iris type guide portion 301. Fig. Wherein the diffuser member is embedded independently in each wing. The inner wall 1900 of each wing includes reflective and refractive surfaces on which light from the illumination is reflected and refracted, and the diffuser surface 1901 further disperses the light before it reaches the animal's nose.

With the introduction of the illumination part and the diffuser member, it is necessary to once again emphasize the importance of the guide part. If the shooting conditions and environment match well, it is possible to shoot good quality cocoon images without a guide. However, it is impractical and impractical to try to adjust the entire shooting environment each time you shoot. However, it is much simpler and more practical to control only the internal environment of the guide part. Particularly well-suited guides are important because they control the transmittance of the ambient light and prevent the illumination from leaking out. In general, animals can be difficult to shoot because the bright light is very disturbing to the eye. Therefore, it is best to fit the entrance of the guide part into the nose of the target animal as closely as possible, especially in the case of lights, especially for multi-directional and dispersive lighting.

The mounting portion includes a primary mounting member fixed to the portable device, a position adjusting member to which the guide portion and the lens attaching portion or the illumination portion are fixed, and a fixing member to which the primary mounting member and the position adjusting member are attached. The following combinations, which are used with the mounting portion, are also included as examples of the configuration of the present invention: a guide portion; A lens attaching portion; An illumination unit; A guide portion and a lens attaching portion; A guide part and an illumination part; A lens attaching portion and an illuminating portion; And guide part, lens attachment part and illumination part.

A portion of the invention including the illumination portion and lens attachment portion 800 may be electronically controlled. In particular, the diaphragm member 803 and the liquid lens 904 of the lens attaching portion can be electronically controlled. Therefore, for the electronic control, A connection device for extracting power from the portable device as illustrated in FIG. And may further include a power source unit 2200, 2201 composed of a disposable or rechargeable battery as illustrated in FIGS.

Similarly, the electronic control of the illumination unit 2103, the liquid lens 2101, the lens attachment unit 800 and the diaphragm member 2102 can be performed by a microcontroller (MCU), a volatile memory, a non-volatile memory (non a volatile memory, or a general purpose input / output (GPIO). Fig. 22a, or as shown in FIG. The liquid lenses 2200 and 2203, the diaphragm members 2201 and 2202 in the designated mobile application are connected to a portable device using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or NFC as illustrated in FIG. 22B. 2204, or a lighting element 2202, 2205, for example.
