  • the basic components shown in FIG. 1 are needed, in some form, for operation of the method of the present invention.
  • imaging apparatus 10 is capable of accepting programmed instructions and of capturing, processing, and playing back image and audio content according to those instructions, in a manner particularly well suited for event-based or theme-based imaging.
  • FIG. 2 there is shown, in perspective view, one embodiment of camera 12 with a removable storage device 34 in the form of a memory card.
  • An operator interface panel 36 is provided for control of camera 12 operation.
  • Display 18 may be in the form of a touchscreen, enabling entry of additional operator instructions to camera 12 .
  • a stand 38 enables camera 12 to be seated on a surface for various image capture and playback functions.
  • a CD/DVD port 40 is provided as an input/output mechanism for receiving pre-programmed instructions as well as for receiving pre-stored audio and/or imaging content from an optical storage disk 42 , such as a CD or DVD.
  • CD/DVD port 40 has read/write capability, allowing a captured image sequence, with optional audio content, to be written to a storage device for playback or archiving.
  • other ports could be used for input and/or output to memory card or other storage devices.
  • imaging apparatus 10 When operating according to the present invention, imaging apparatus 10 functions as a digital director, providing operator guidance and automated image processing utilities that enable even an unskilled operator to capture and construct a presentation of image sequences that can have the appearance of a professionally prepared production. As can be readily appreciated, imaging apparatus 10 would be especially well-suited for developing an image presentation that is event-based or theme-based.
  • imaging apparatus 10 In order to function as a digital director, imaging apparatus 10 must first obtain a set of programmed instructions that are suited to the particular theme or event of interest. Additionally, other images and special effects can also be provided for digital director operation. In one embodiment, programmed instructions and images are available on a DVD or similar optically encoded medium. Various versions of digital director media could be made available to consumers, differentiated by theme or event. Typical activities for which digital director media could be particularly tailored include sports, hobbies, scout troops, camping and outdoor activities, art, music, and travel, for example. Themes for digital director media could include humor, romance, family gatherings, baby showers, babies and children, and the like.
  • the consumer To operate the digital director, the consumer first loads digital director software into imaging apparatus 10 .
  • the operator feeds optical storage disk 42 into imaging dock assembly 30 as a preparatory step to image capture.
  • Digital director software on optical storage disk 42 then prompts the consumer to make some preliminary selections that more precisely identify the event or theme for an image capture session.
  • digital director prompts suited to a birthday theme may prompt the operator to identify age, sex, name, and other information about the person whose birthday is being celebrated. Prompts may appear on touchscreen display 18 of camera 12 , as is shown in the example of FIG. 4 .
  • FIGS. 5 a - 5 d show an example sequence with typical screen prompts that help to customize digital director operation, as is described subsequently.
  • Touchscreen buttons 44 accept operator responses that help to tailor the sequence of operations that follow.
  • An on-screen keyboard 46 can be used to enable text entry. Alternatively, if the camera is enabled with voice recognition capabilities, spoken words can be converted into text. Captured audio can also be used instead of text or to augment text.
  • an electronic storyboard 70 which is generated as a result of these initial preparation steps.
  • electronic storyboard 70 specifies an ordered arrangement of image sequences. This can include graphics 54 and title text 68 as well as planned segments 76 , which are allotted for captured image sequences 64 when these are obtained. Transitions 66 are also provided between captured image sequences 64 . These transitions may be fades, graphics, segues, or other scene transitions, using any of the techniques described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,292,219, listed above or other familiar transitional mechanisms between captured image sequences 64 .
  • Electronic storyboard 70 as shown in FIG. 9 a is highly conceptual. In practice, any number of methods could be used for arranging captured image sequences 64 beforehand. However, FIG. 9 a shows the basic principles: a plan is generated for incorporating captured image sequences with pre-stored images and special effects loaded as part of the digital director data. In a simple embodiment, electronic storyboard 70 may be provided automatically, without the option to customize beforehand. However, in the more elaborate embodiment shown with reference to FIGS. 5 a - 5 d , electronic storyboard 70 is customized, based on subject profile data entered by the operator.
  • Image sequences could be either motion or still images.
  • still images if produced as part of a motion picture presentation, are simply repeated in multiple frames.
  • still images may be presented in a pseudo motion manner such as that popularized by director Ken Burns in presentations such as “The Civil War,” where the still image is slowly zoomed and panned to enhance its visual interest
  • FIGS. 6 a through 6 o show an example sequence by which the digital director software guides the operator through individual image capture operations for obtaining image sequences that complete electronic storyboard 70 .
  • display 18 provides instructions 48 and optional hints 50 to the operator. These may include requests for different types of captured images as well as tips for use of the camera and for lighting and other environmental conditions.
  • digital director may also provide messages 52 that give the operator various options for the image capture sequence.
  • added graphics 54 may also be suggested and provided for operator approval.
  • a still image 56 may be inserted as one type of image sequence if accepted by the operator, as is shown in FIG. 6 f .
  • Graphic editing options 58 may also be provided, as is shown in the example of FIG. 6 g.
  • FIGS. 6 h , 6 i , and 6 j show a “video karaoke” sequence that can be inserted.
  • an operator follows instructions 48 , which may provide branching options, as shown in the example of FIG. 6 h .
  • a sequence prompt 60 allows the operator to indicate when to begin capture of the video karaoke sequence.
  • the operator may wish to set camera 12 on stand 38 , as is shown in FIG. 7 , and join in on the fun.
  • Display 18 may then show the actual scene as a song or other sequence is performed or may simply display graphics 54 , as shown in FIG. 6 j .
  • an animated prompt 62 may display to guide participants through the text in an enjoyable manner.
  • the output of the camera may be connected to a television so that the text is more legible.
  • the captured video may or may not be displayed during this sequence.
  • FIGS. 6 l , 6 m , and 6 n show various text graphics 54 added to scene content as it is captured and displayed on display 18 . This example sequence is then completed with graphics 54 added to final scene content, as is shown in FIG. 6 p .
  • the text graphics 54 move and/or change appearance as it is displayed, instead of being static. For example, in FIG. 6 p , the text “The End” can slowly fade in, the candles on the cake can flicker, and the balloons can slowly spin, and then “pop” at the end of the scene.
  • FIG. 9 b shows the results of image capture and processing, in concept, according to instructions as shown in the example of FIGS. 6 a - 6 p .
  • electronic storyboard 70 is effectively transformed into a presentation 72 with captured image sequences 64 arranged in the order specified by electronic storyboard 70 .
  • operator responses during image capture may change electronic storyboard 70 dynamically; however, electronic storyboard 70 as initially created provides at least some structure for the prompt sequence and operation of imaging apparatus 10 .
  • image sequences captured by the user were not necessarily captured in the order presented on electronic storyboard 70 .
  • an initiation step 100 the operator loads programmed instructions and, optionally, image content, and begins.
  • an optional prompt step 110 the operator is prompted for profile information on the subject to be filmed, as was shown in the example of FIG. 5 a .
  • imaging apparatus 10 prepares electronic storyboard 70 or its equivalent.
  • image capture step 130 the operator is prompted to film an image sequence, which may be a still or motion image, as is described above.
  • a test step 140 determines if all needed image sequences for completing electronic storyboard 70 have been obtained and causes image capture step 130 to be repeated as necessary. Once this is true, an assembly step 150 processes the obtained image sequences and arranges them in the order assigned by electronic storyboard 70 , forming presentation 72 thereby.
  • transitions between image sequences can use segues supplied as part of the digital director software, as described commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 6,292,219 (Fredlund et al.), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. Appropriate segues can be automatically chosen by the digital director to match the theme and to match the image sequences which begin and end at this particular transition.
  • a partial completion of storyboard 70 may be used to for presentation 72 , or a final editing step (not shown) can be provided for the user to approve and/or remove segments.
  • a further embodiment allows the user to assign previously captured image sequences to storyboard 70 , so that the user is not limited to use of image sequences captured under the guidance of digital director to create final presentation 72 .
  • imaging apparatus 10 writes presentation 72 onto a recording medium.
  • this is a DVD. This may be an unused, blank DVD or, optionally, the same DVD originally used to load programmed instructions in initiation step 100 .
  • a control logic processor for executing the pre-programmed instructions and for arranging the playback of the presentation from the plurality of the captured image sequences stored in said random-access electronic memory according to said operator responses may not be in the camera. This function may be executed downstream of imaging apparatus 10 in a writer or computer (not shown).
  • Numerous special effects can be employed for further customization of presentation 72 . These include, for example, slow motion, accelerated motion, auto-rotoscope, programmable time-lapse, time-reversal, image mirroring, and geometric distortion. Special effects can be applied at the time of image sequence capture or during final processing in preparing presentation 72 . These effects are provided as part of the digital director software and can be automatically used for particular sequences. For example, an sequence of the “birthday boy” blowing out the candles on his birthday cake can be shown in the slow-motion “forward” (e.g. normal) direction, and then shown in the slow-motion “backward” direction, so that it appears that the candles are magically re-lighted. Similarly, by using “time-reversal,” gifts can be re-wrapped and cakes can be re-assembled from cut pieces.
  • Graphic templates may be provided for one or more image sequences, for both still and motion pictures. Templates may include decorative or thematic borders and could be populated with still or motion images using “drag and drop” or other suitable user interface techniques. A template could also allow display of multiple images at one time. Templates may also be used to create multiple still image formats for generating printed output, such as photographic quality prints, album pages, calendar pages, index prints, photo books, cards, invitations and the like, or for digital slide shows. Other graphic content, such as avatars and overlays, could also be used.
  • auxiliary sound clips could also be added, including sound clips provided with digital director media.
  • auxiliary sound clips for example, laugh tracks, music, sound effects, and other audio content could be mixed in with, or replace, audio content obtained during filming.
  • the digital director takes advantage of the capabilities afforded by digital image capture and random-access storage of image sequences and allows effective use of imaging tools disclosed in both U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,292,219 and 5,477,264, while adding prompt/response sequences and automatic assembly of image sequences that both customize and simplify the image capture process.
  • Digital director capability can be effectively used to guide a relatively unskilled operator through the sequence of steps necessary to produce a pleasing and effective theme- or event-based video presentation.
  • the digital director frees the operator from timing and sequencing concerns when obtaining image sequences, allowing the operator to concentrate on one sequence at a time.
  • the digital director helps to provide an amateur camera user with an output that has the advantages and appearance of being professionally edited.
  • the operator can immediately review the sequence that has just been captured along with any special effects, text graphics, etc. that will be used in the final presentation. If the final sequence is not visually pleasing, the operator can immediately recapture a new sequence while the subjects being photographed are still available.
  • a music video is used as the script to enable the user to produce a compelling program.
  • the digital video camera is provided with digital director programmed instructions in the form of an audio soundtrack (a popular song, for example) a video track (such as music video scenes, for example) and a control track that provides instructions for video frame compositing and pseudo-camera movements.
  • the audio soundtrack is played back as new video sequences are captured, so that the filmed subjects can act in time to the music.
  • the captured live video is then combined with the video track to produce a new video sequence that includes both live images and the music video scenes provided by the digital director.
  • the live images are captured with the subjects moving in front of a stationary background, allowing an alternate background to be added once the live images have been obtained.
  • image processing one or more initial images of background content only are first obtained and stored. This allows the background to be subsequently masked and replaced by a different moving background sequence provided by the video track, as described in commonly-assigned U.S. Pat. No. 5,914,748 (Parulski et al.), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • FIGS. 10 a - 10 g show how compositing of image frames 80 can be performed.
  • a background image 82 is first obtained from the camera 12 position as shown in FIG. 10 a .
  • a stored image 84 loaded for the digital director, provides the background desired for the edited music video sequence, as shown in FIG. 10 b .
  • one or more subjects 86 are then captured, against the same background of FIG. 10 a .
  • image capture and recording apparatus 14 FIG. 1
  • replaces background image 82 with stored image 84 with masking techniques applied to subjects 86 , thereby forming a composited image 88 , as is shown in FIG.
  • FIGS. 10 e , 10 f , and 10 g show a zoom sequence executed on composited image 88 by image capture and recording apparatus 14 .
  • the control track provided by the digital director defines the way in which the foreground live image is composited into the background video track.
  • the control track can include camera 12 control information that defines the camera 12 motion (such as zooming, panning, and rotation) of the background video track. This enables the same camera 12 motion to be digitally simulated in the live camera 12 image. For example, during a particular sequence, the background video can slowly pan to the left while zooming in. Using this technique, camera 12 itself can be stationary during the capture of the music video sequence, unchanged with respect to actual zoom position and other settings.
  • the control track enables the digital video sequence captured by camera 12 to be digitally manipulated within image capture and processing apparatus 14 itself, thereby producing an apparent pan and zoom sequence. Thus, without requiring sophisticated camera 12 controls or capture techniques, the digital director enables a visually interesting and realistic sequence to be produced.
  • a transfer step 200 initiated by a user selection for example, loads music audio to image capture and recording apparatus 14 .
  • a selection step 202 specifies a particular tune for playback during image capture.
  • the camera 12 operator is provided with the procedures for setup in a setup instruction step 204 .
  • Camera 12 then captures background image 82 in a background capture step 206 .
  • a content capture step 208 is executed, obtaining images of subjects 86 singing to the music.
  • image capture and recording apparatus 14 performs a number of processing steps.
  • Each subject 86 is extracted from the actual background image during a background extraction step 210 . Panning, zoom, and other camera 12 effects are simulated in a simulation step 212 .
  • Each subject 86 is then combined with stored image 84 in a compositing step 214 . Audio is added in a mixing step 216 .
  • the compositing step can include interspersing various background segments, provided as part of the digital director software, with the composite image segments. For the example shown in FIG. 10 a - 10 g , these background segments can show close-ups of the oars dipping in the water, the sun reflecting off the water, fish swimming in the water, etc.
  • the final video production can then be recorded onto a suitable video storage medium, including a DVD provided with digital director software and content, for example.
  • FIG. 12 a shows a selection prompt 90 for operator specification of song and overall theme, with a song selection button 92 a for song selection and a theme selection button 92 b for theme selection.
  • FIG. 12 b shows a song selection menu 94 a that displays when the operator presses song selection button 92 a in FIG. 12 a .
  • FIG. 12 c shows a theme selection menu 94 b that displays when the operator presses theme selection button 92 b in FIG. 12 a .
  • FIG. 12 d shows an initiation prompt 96 for beginning the music video sequence with setup instruction step 204 and following steps of FIG. 11 .
  • FIG. 12 e shows a lyrics prompt 98 that appears on display 18 during capture of the music video.
  • Composited image 88 might be displayed dynamically, as is shown in FIG. 12 e .
  • display 18 may simply show subjects 86 as they are being captured, before image frame composition or display 18 may be limited to display of lyrics alone
  • the timing chart of FIG. 13 shows the temporal relationship of stored audio, shown as an audio file 170 in MP3 format, for example, with a stored background video sequence 172 and user video sequences 174 .
  • the digital director Based on a digital storyboard technique, the digital director generates a composited video sequence 176 that has segments showing background image segments 82 interspersed with composited image segments 88 .
  • the result is a “personalized” music video, produced by the user and featuring a selected song, with one or more subjects 86 suitably featured as the “stars.”
  • the live scene is captured as the actors perform in accordance with the song, and the composited video images are stored in synchronization with the song.
  • a random playback humorous scripted program or other topical sequence is produced.
  • the digital director provides instructions to the user to capture images of a number of participants. The participants are asked to answer a group of questions or to perform a group of actions in response to visual or audio prompts from camera 12 or, more generally, from image capture and recording apparatus 14 . The image of the participant is then captured while answering the questions and performing the actions as instructed. Each participant response segment is then available for playback by the digital director, controlled by a script.
  • FIGS. 14 a - 14 c shows a simple example of a humorous sequence.
  • one or more suggestion prompts 180 may be posted to display 18 , suggesting a scripted sequence.
