Description

Sistema de filmación estereoscópica-monoscópica con grabación de hasta 360° en horizontal y 360° en vertical, y cámara de objetivos rotatorios correspondiente. El sector de la técnica de ésta patente es el de la industria de la imagen obtenida mediante grabación directa de la realidad, eventualmente intervenida por medios digitales, para la búsqueda de efectos, y con finalidad de obtener imágenes en un espectro de 360° o un ángulo próximo a éste, en vertical y en horizontal. Indicación del Estado de la Técnica anterior: Stereoscopic-monoscopic filming system with recording up to 360 ° horizontally and 360 ° vertically, and corresponding rotating lens camera. The sector of the technique of this patent is that of the image industry obtained by direct recording of reality, possibly intervened by digital means, for the search for effects, and in order to obtain images in a 360 ° spectrum or a angle close to it, vertically and horizontally. Indication of the prior art state:
Los inventores de ésta patente son los de la patente ES P9200907, por "Sistema integral de grabación, proyección- visualización-audición de imágenes y/o realidad virtual perfeccionado", consistente en la proyección de imágenes previamente grabadas en forma individualizada para cada espectador, de modo que cada uno posee un detector de posición relativa y un par de pantallas ante sus ojos, que de acuerdo con dicho detector exhiben las imágenes correspondiente al punto de vista elegido según el giro de cabeza o ángulo buscado por los ojos, con efecto de inmersión total en la escena.The inventors of this patent are those of the ES P9200907 patent, for "Comprehensive recording system, projection-visualization-hearing of images and / or perfected virtual reality", consisting of the projection of previously recorded images individually for each viewer, so that each one has a relative position detector and a pair of screens before their eyes, which according to said detector display the images corresponding to the point of view chosen according to the head rotation or angle sought by the eyes, with the effect of total immersion in the scene.
La ES P 9100194 por "Procedimiento para la proyección de imágenes con efecto estereoscópico/monoscópico utilizando proyectores del tipo convencional" que se basa en la recepción alternativa de imágenes también emitidas en forma alternativa y sincronizada sobre una pantalla, determinando por la obturación de unas gafas la recepción de las imágenes para cada ojo pertenecientes a cada punto de vista. Los medios de grabación conocidos para peliculas estereoscópicas son limitados por la necesidad de que los dos objetivos capten la escena, y por otra parte por que ambos se hallen en posición frontal de aquella escena que captan; de este modo resulta prácticamente imposible la captación de un ámbito mayor de 180°; únicamente es posible esto con cámaras múltiples que sectorizan la lectura de la escena. Sin embargo una grabación en estas condiciones, con efecto estereoscópico, tiene muchas dificultades técnicas a la hora de ser tanto realizada como posteriormente exhibida.The ES P 9100194 by "Procedure for the projection of images with stereoscopic / monoscopic effect using projectors of the conventional type" which is based on the alternative reception of images also emitted alternately and synchronized on a screen, determining by the obturation of glasses the reception of the images for each eye belonging to each point of view. The known recording media for stereoscopic movies are limited by the need for the two lenses to capture the scene, and on the other hand because they are both in the frontal position of that scene they capture; in this way it is practically impossible to capture an area greater than 180 °; This is only possible with multiple cameras that sectorize the reading of the scene. However, a recording in these conditions, with stereoscopic effect, has many technical difficulties to the time to be both performed and subsequently displayed.
La presente invención tiene por objeto un sistema de filmación y una cámara destinada a obtener una filmación real la cual está dotada de medios para obtener dicha filmación, a través de la impresión del conjunto de fotogramas que componen cada imagen en 360°.The present invention aims at a filming system and a camera intended to obtain a real filming which is provided with means to obtain said filming, by printing the set of frames that make up each image in 360 °.
El sistema utiliza cámaras que pueden almacenar la imagen en pelicula fotográfica o digitalizada electrónicamente en cualquier soporte que lo permita (banda magnética, soporte óptico etc.).The system uses cameras that can store the image in a photographic film or electronically digitized on any medium that allows it (magnetic stripe, optical support, etc.).
Es capaz de captar la escena en un ángulo horizontal de 360° de tal modo que el espectador obtiene una visión estereoscópica, aunque también permite la grabación de imágenes monoscópicas en el mismo ángulo horizontal. La posibilidad de captar imágenes estereoscópicas viene limitada por el tipo de objetivo utilizado. Los objetivos ideales para este fin son aquellos que abarcan un ángulo como el ángulo visual humano o mayor.It is capable of capturing the scene at a horizontal angle of 360 ° so that the viewer obtains a stereoscopic view, although it also allows the recording of monoscopic images at the same horizontal angle. The possibility of capturing stereoscopic images is limited by the type of lens used. The ideal objectives for this purpose are those that cover an angle such as the human or greater visual angle.
Se consigue la filmación estereoscópica que abarca un ángulo de 360° en horizontal mediante dos objetivos que mantienen una rotación respecto a un eje común.Stereoscopic filming is achieved, covering a horizontal angle of 360 ° by means of two objectives that maintain a rotation with respect to a common axis.
Permite una visión estereoscópica perfecta en toda la imagen y por lo tanto evita los fenómenos de fatiga visual que se producen al observar imágenes estereoscópicas captadas con los sistemas convencionales.It allows a perfect stereoscopic vision in the whole image and therefore avoids the phenomena of visual fatigue that occur when observing stereoscopic images captured with conventional systems.
Con el sistema que detallamos a continuación se puede captar 360° en horizontal y con una visión estereoscópica perfecta, con una sola cámara dotada de dos objetivos que mediante una rotación angular efectúan un barrido que abarca 360° horizontales de la escena.With the system that we detail below, 360 ° can be captured horizontally and with a perfect stereoscopic vision, with a single camera equipped with two objectives that by means of an angular rotation effect a sweeping that covers 360 ° horizontal of the scene.
El ángulo vertical captado depende del objetivo utilizado; esto se debe a que los objetivos efectúan una rotación y por tanto un objetivo que capte 180° verticales al efectuar la rotación capta los 360° horizontales y verticales que forman la escena.The vertical angle captured depends on the objective used; This is due to the fact that the objectives make a rotation and therefore an objective that captures 180 ° vertical when performing the rotation captures the 360 ° horizontal and vertical that form the scene.
Tal como hemos dicho, la cámara capta la escena a través de dos objetivos que registran un ángulo horizontal mínimo de la escena. El ángulo vertical que captan depende de sus características ópticas.As we have said, the camera captures the scene through two lenses that register a horizontal angle Minimum of the scene. The vertical angle they capture depends on their optical characteristics.
Estos objetivos se encuentran separados entre sí a una distancia determinada que depende de sus características ópticas y que es aquella en la cual se obtenga la mejor visión estereoscópica. Se encuentran fijos sobre una plataforma que gira respecto a un eje situado en el centro de la distancia de separación de los dos objetivos. Los objetivos están montados sobre la plataforma de manera que sus ejes ópticos sean prácticamente paralelos; sin embargo, los ejes ópticos de los objetivos no son exactamente paralelos sino que, están dotados de una convergencia tal que la intersección de los ejes ópticos se da a una distancia de la cámara que coincide con la línea del horizonte en el lugar de emplazamiento de la cámara. La convergencia máxima sería la necesaria para la distancia a la que se encuentra la línea del horizonte a nivel del mar y desde la altura media del ser humano. Si la cámara se emplaza a una altura mayor, la línea del horizonte se encuentra más lejos y por tanto la convergencia necesaria es menor. Por este motivo la cámara está dotada de un dispositivo regulador de la convergencia de dichos ejes ópticos con el fin de que se pueda adaptar a las condiciones particulares del lugar donde se efectúe el rodaje. Tal como la plataforma va girando, cada objetivo va efectuando un barrido de la escena que el soporte receptor de la luz va captando en forma de segmentosThese objectives are separated from each other at a certain distance that depends on their optical characteristics and that is the one in which the best stereoscopic vision is obtained. They are fixed on a platform that rotates with respect to an axis located in the center of the distance of separation of the two objectives. The objectives are mounted on the platform so that its optical axes are practically parallel; however, the optical axes of the lenses are not exactly parallel but are provided with a convergence such that the intersection of the optical axes occurs at a distance from the camera that coincides with the horizon line at the location of the camera. The maximum convergence would be that necessary for the distance at which the horizon line lies at sea level and from the average height of the human being. If the camera is placed at a higher height, the horizon line is farther away and therefore the necessary convergence is smaller. For this reason the camera is equipped with a device for regulating the convergence of said optical axes so that it can be adapted to the particular conditions of the place where the shooting takes place. As the platform rotates, each objective is sweeping the scene that the light-receiving support captures in the form of segments
Tal como los dos objetivos van barriendo la escena van captando los elementos de la misma con una diferencia angular. Así van grabándose en los fotogramas en diferentes posiciones según su distancia a la cámara. Si tomamos como ejemplo el caso anterior donde la escena la forman un árbol y añadimos una esfera más próxima a la cámara, se obtendrían dos fotogramas (uno para cada objetivo) como los mostrados.As the two objectives are sweeping the scene, they capture the elements of it with an angular difference. Thus they are recorded in the frames in different positions according to their distance from the camera. If we take as an example the previous case where the scene is formed by a tree and we add a sphere closer to the camera, two frames (one for each objective) would be obtained as shown.
Cuanto más próximos estén los objetos a la cámara cada objetivo los registra con una diferencia angular mayor y esto se traduce en que las posiciones que ocupan en cada fotograma están más alejadas. Los objetos situados en el infinito visual ocupan la misma posición en ambos fotogramas.The closer the objects are to the camera, each lens records them with a greater angular difference and this translates into the positions they occupy in Each frame is further away. Objects located in the visual infinity occupy the same position in both frames.
Si superponemos los dos fotogramas, los objetos que se encuentren en el infinito ocupan la misma posición relativa, en cambio los más cercanos se encuentran desplazados a ambos lados de los anteriores. En realidad si hacemos coincidir con los ejes ópticos de cada ojo los objetos situados en el infinito, los objetos más próximos ocupan posiciones situadas en el interior de las lineas paralelas que forman los ejes ópticos. Por ello si el espectador desea enfocarlos debe efectuar una convergencia ocular al igual que ocurre en la realidad. Para que esto sea posible todos los objetos se deben de registrar nítidamente en el fotograma, es decir hay que utilizar objetivos de gran profundidad de campo. El sentido de giro que describe la plataforma es según las agujas del reloj, así cada objetivo registra un fotograma en el cual las posiciones que ocupan los objetos son idénticas a las de la visión humana. Si el giro es contrario se obtiene en el objetivo izquierdo la imagen que obtendría el ojo derecho y viceversa.If we superimpose the two frames, the objects that are in the infinite occupy the same relative position, instead the closest ones are displaced on both sides of the previous ones. In fact, if we make the objects located in the infinity coincide with the optical axes of each eye, the closest objects occupy positions located inside the parallel lines that form the optical axes. Therefore, if the viewer wishes to focus on them, he must carry out an ocular convergence just like in reality. In order for this to be possible, all objects must be recorded clearly in the frame, that is to say, objectives of great depth of field must be used. The direction of rotation described by the platform is according to the hands of the clock, so each objective registers a frame in which the positions occupied by the objects are identical to those of human vision. If the turn is the opposite, the image obtained by the right eye is obtained on the left target and vice versa.
De este modo se consigue que el cerebro pueda la imagen tridimensional de cualquier objeto registrado por la cámara.In this way it is achieved that the brain can the three-dimensional image of any object registered by the camera.
El número mínimo de fotogramas por segundo que debe captar cada objetivo es el usual en cinematografía es decir de 25 imágenes por segundo (ips) . Para registrar un fotograma la plataforma, sobre la que están emplazados los objetivos, debe efectuar un giro de 360°, por lo tanto para registrar 25 ips debe girar a 1500 revoluciones por minuto (r.p.m. ) .The minimum number of frames per second that each lens should capture is the usual one in cinematography, that is, 25 images per second (ips). To register a frame the platform, on which the objectives are located, must perform a 360 ° rotation, therefore to register 25 ips it must rotate at 1500 revolutions per minute (r.p.m.).
En caso de que se quiera ralentizar la imagen, tan solo tenemos que hacer girar la plataforma a más r.p.m. , por ejemplo para captar 80 ips debe girar la plataforma a 4800 r.p.m..In case you want to slow down the image, we just have to rotate the platform to more r.p.m. , for example to capture 80 ips you must turn the platform to 4800 r.p.m ..
El ángulo horizontal que abarque el objetivo estando quieta la plataforma y las r.p.m. a las que gire ésta cuando se filma , determinan el tiempo de exposición del soporte captor de la luz. Si por ejemplo el objetivo abarca 10°, cubre los 360° que forman la escena con 36 segmentos de 10°. Filmando a 25 ips el tiempo de exposición es (1/25)*(1/36)=0.0011 segundos. Filmando a 80 ips sería (1/80)*(1/36)=0.00034 segundos.The horizontal angle covered by the target while the platform is still and the rpm at which it rotates when filmed, they determine the exposure time of the light capture medium. If for example the objective covers 10 °, it covers the 360 ° that form the scene with 36 segments of 10 °. Filming at 25 ips the exposure time is (1/25) * (1/36) = 0.0011 seconds. Filming at 80 ips would be (1/80) * (1/36) = 0.00034 seconds.
Estas exposiciones tan cortas obligan, cuando se filme con película fotográfica, a usar objetivos luminosos y película sensible. En el caso de utilizar soporte electrónico el problema con la exposición es menor ya que estos elementos son extremadamente sensibles a la luz.These short exposures force, when filmed with photographic film, to use luminous lenses and sensitive film. In the case of using electronic support, the problem with exposure is minor since these elements are extremely sensitive to light.
La filmación puede ser realizada con película fotográfica o soporte electrónico. En este tipo de cámara la imagen que se registra mediante un movimiento rotatorio, se almacena secuencialmente en un soporte que puede ser fotográfico o electrónico. Por ello es posible utilizar película en rollo continuo o soporte electrónico donde la información se almacene secuencialmente (banda magnética, soporte óptico etc.. ) .Filming can be done with photographic film or electronic support. In this type of camera the image that is registered by means of a rotary movement, is stored sequentially in a support that can be photographic or electronic. Therefore, it is possible to use continuous roll film or electronic support where the information is stored sequentially (magnetic strip, optical support etc.).
Puede haber cinco modalidades: A) Filmación con una sola banda de película fotográfica, dos objetivos. B) Filmación con dos películas, dos objetivos.There can be five modalities: A) Filming with a single band of photographic film, two lenses. B) Filming with two films, two objectives.
C) Filmación con una sola película y un solo objetivo.C) Filming with a single film and a single objective.
D) Filmación con dos películas y un solo objetivo.D) Filming with two films and a single objective.
E) Filmación en continuo según sistema alternativo.E) Continuous filming according to alternative system.
A) Filmación con una sola banda de película, dos objetivos.A) Filming with a single film band, two objectives.
El usar película como soporte permite, tras la filmación, un procesado electrónico de la imagen para aquellos sistemas que así lo requieran. El hecho de que los objetivos se encuentren en rotación continua impide que la película se impresione en el lugar donde el objetivo forma la imagen. Por ello para grabar la escena registrada sobre la película, se envia la imagen captada por cada objetivo, mediante un sistema óptico, a la base respecto a la cual gira la plataforma y en la que se encuentra la película.Using film as a support allows, after filming, an electronic image processing for those systems that require it. The fact that the lenses are in continuous rotation prevents the film from being impressed in the place where the lens forms the image. Therefore, to record the scene recorded on the film, the image captured by each lens is sent, through an optical system, to the base on which the platform rotates and on which the film is located.
El sistema óptico proyecta la imagen sobre la pared interior o exterior de los rodillos sobre los que se sitúa la película. Esta forma un bucle que envuelve los rodillos sobre los que se arrastra la película.The optical system projects the image on the inner or outer wall of the rollers on which the film is placed. This forms a loop that wraps the rollers on which the film is dragged.
El sistema óptico envia la que capta el objetivo y la hace llegar hasta la película alcanzándola perpendicular a la tangente, en ese punto, del rodillos sobre los que se arrastra la película.The optical system sends the one that captures the objective and makes it reach the film reaching it perpendicular to the tangent, at that point, of the rollers on which the film is dragged.
Los sistemas ópticos de cada objetivo difieren en su longitud. Esto se debe a que cada objetivo graba la imagen que registra en una porción diferente de la película. Así mismo los sistemas ópticos alcanzan a la película en la misma vertical de los rodillos de arrastre. De este modo, y usando una sola película, se pueden grabar prácticamente los 360° que componen la escena a excepción de los necesarios para que la película forme el bucle.The optical systems of each lens differ in their length. This is because each lens records the image it records in a different portion of the movie. Likewise the optical systems reach the film in the same vertical of the drag rollers. In this way, and using a single film, practically the 360 ° that make up the scene can be recorded except for those necessary for the film to form the loop.
Las dimensiones del fotograma dependen de la definición que se quiera conseguir. La longitud del fotograma tiene que ser igual a la anchura del segmento lumínico que el objetivo proyecta sobre la película por el numero de segmentos que el objetivo necesita para cubrir la imagen. Así, si por ejemplo, el objetivo cubre 10° de la escena, para cubrir 360° se necesitan 36 segmentos. Si este segmento al proyectarlo sobre la película abarca una anchura A la longitud del fotograma es A*(360)/(10) .The dimensions of the frame depend on the definition you want to achieve. The length of the frame has to be equal to the width of the light segment that the objective projects on the film by the number of segments that the objective needs to cover the image. Thus, if, for example, the objective covers 10 ° of the scene, 36 segments are needed to cover 360 °. If this segment when projected on the film covers a width A the length of the frame is A * (360) / (10).
La anchura del fotograma sería la necesaria para captar sin distorsiones los grados verticales que abarque el objetivo.The width of the frame would be necessary to capture the vertical degrees covered by the lens without distortion.
Los rodillos sobre los que se acopla la película tiene un diámetro y una separación más grande cuanto mayor sea la definición que se quiera conseguir.The rollers on which the film is coupled have a larger diameter and separation the larger the definition that is to be achieved.
En el momento de la exposición del fotograma la película debe estar completamente inmóvil y antes de la exposición del siguiente fotograma debe avanzar para impedir que la nueva imagen se impresione sobre la anterior. Esto obliga, en el caso de que se quieran registrar 360°, a alimentar el numero de revoluciones por minuto que efectúa la plataforma y a la existencia de un sistema de obturación que impide la impresión del fotograma ya grabado y que se está desplazando para dar paso al siguiente fotograma. Una vez impresionado el fotograma se impide que llegue la a la película, mediante el obturador. La plataforma efectúa una revolución sin impresionar la película y en este tiempo se hace avanzar la película un fotograma. A continuación se permite el paso de la y así sucesivamente. Por ello el número de r.p.m. se debe duplicar.At the time of exposure of the frame the film must be completely still and before the exposure of the next frame must advance to prevent the new image from being impressed on the previous one. This forces, in the event that they want to register 360 °, to feed the number of revolutions per minute that the platform makes and the existence of a shutter system that prevents printing of the frame already recorded and is moving to give way to the next frame. Once the frame has been impressed, the film cannot be reached by means of the shutter. The platform makes a revolution without impressing the film and at this time the film is advanced one frame. Then the passage of the and so on is allowed. Therefore the rpm number must be doubled.
Los obturadores pueden ser mecánicos o electrónicos (por ejemplo de cristal líquido) y están situados entre el objetivo y la película. En el ejemplo anterior para conseguir 25 ips debería girar a 3000 r.p.m. y para 80 ips a 9600 r.p.m. Con un objetivo que abarque 10° y filmando a 25 ips el tiempo de exposición es (1/50)*(1/36)=0.00055 segundos. Filmando a 80 ips sería (l/160)*(l/36)=0.00017 segundos. Estas exposiciones son muy pequeñas y por lo tanto en cámaras rotatorias que graben la imagen sobre una sola película lo más lógico sería reducir el ángulo a cubrir de la escena, de tal manera que en el tiempo que los objetivos recorren el ángulo ciego se haga avanzar la película.The shutters can be mechanical or electronic (eg liquid crystal) and are located between the lens and the film. In the previous example to get 25 ips should turn to 3000 r.p.m. and for 80 ips at 9600 r.p.m. With an objective that covers 10 ° and filming at 25 ips the exposure time is (1/50) * (1/36) = 0.00055 seconds. Filming at 80 ips would be (l / 160) * (l / 36) = 0.00017 seconds. These exposures are very small and therefore in rotating cameras that record the image on a single film, the most logical thing would be to reduce the angle to be covered of the scene, so that in the time that the objectives travel the blind angle is advanced the movie.
B) Filmación con dos películas, dos objetivos.B) Filming with two films, two objectives.
Existe otra opción, con soporte película, para grabar 360° y que la cámara gire a un numero de revoluciones por segundo igual al numero de imágenes grabadas en ese tiempo: Utilizar en lugar de una película dos.There is another option, with film support, to record 360 ° and that the camera rotates at a number of revolutions per second equal to the number of images recorded at that time: Use instead of a movie two.
En este caso las películas se encuentran sobre dos pares de rodillos independientes pero superpuestos y que efectúan el avance alternativamente, es decir, que mientras una se expone la otra avanza. El sistema óptico de cada objetivo puede proyectar la imagen sobre cualquiera de las dos películas.In this case the films are on two pairs of independent but overlapping rollers that alternately advance, that is, while one is exposed the other advances. The optical system of each lens can project the image on either of the two films.
Además cada sistema óptico posee dos obturadores lumínicos (que pueden ser de cristal líquido), es decir, uno para cada película y que actúan de forma alternativa:In addition, each optical system has two light shutters (which can be liquid crystal), that is, one for each movie and acting alternately:
Obturador del objetivo izquierdo para la película 1Left lens shutter for movie 1
Obturador del objetivo izquierdo para la película 2 Obturador del objetivo derecho para la películaLeft lens shutter for movie 2 Right lens shutter for movie
Obturador del objetivo derecho para la películaRight lens shutter for the movie
Un ciclo sería como sigue:A cycle would be as follows:
Durante la primera revolución la imagen del objetivo izquierdo y del derecho se graban sobre la primera película y para ello están los 012 y 0D2 cerrados impidiendo que llegue la a la película 2. En cambio los 011 y 0D1 están abiertos permitiendo el paso de la hasta la película 1. Mientras se expone la película 1 se hace avanzar la película 2 un fotograma, para que quede preparada para su exposición. En la siguiente revolución se cierran los 011 y 0D1, impidiendo la llegada de la a la película 1. En cambio están abiertos los 012 y 0D2 grabándose la imagen sobre la película 2.During the first revolution the image of the left and right lenses is recorded on the first film and for this purpose, the 012 and 0D2 are closed, preventing the film 2 from reaching. On the other hand, the 011 and 0D1 are open allowing the passage of the movie 1. While movie 1 is being exposed, movie 2 is advanced one frame, so that it is ready for exposure. In the next revolution, 011 and 0D1 are closed, preventing the arrival of the film 1. However, 012 and 0D2 are open, recording the image on film 2.
Mientras se graba la imagen en la película 2 se hace avanzar la película 1 un fotograma, de tal modo que quede lista para la segunda exposición.While the image is being recorded in movie 2, movie 1 is advanced one frame, so that it is ready for the second exposure.
En el siguiente ciclo, mientras se graba la imagen sobre la película 1 y estando cerrados los 012 y 0D2, se hace avanzar la película 2 y así sucesivamente. Este ciclo se repite sucesivamente y así obtenemos la secuencia de imágenes de cada objetivo grabadas alternativamente en dos películas diferentes.In the next cycle, while the image is recorded on film 1 and with 012 and 0D2 closed, film 2 is advanced and so on. This cycle is repeated successively and thus we obtain the sequence of images of each objective recorded alternately in two different films.
En este caso y dado que la secuencia de cada ojo se graba en dos películas distintas se debe grabar al mismo tiempo un código numérico de tal forma que luego no sean posibles errores de fase.In this case and since the sequence of each eye is recorded in two different films, a numerical code must be recorded at the same time so that phase errors are not possible.
Soporte electrónicoElectronic support
El CCD se encuentra en el lugar donde el objetivo forma la imagen:The CCD is in the place where the objective form the image:
En este caso los objetivos de la cámara proyectan los segmentos de la escena directamente sobre un captor electrónico del tipo CCD que se encuentra en el lugar donde cada objetivo forma la imagen. Esto permite la eliminación del sistema óptico que en el caso de la filmación con película era necesario para llevar la imagen a la película.In this case, the camera's objectives project the segments of the scene directly onto an electronic CCD type sensor that is located in the place where each lens forms the image. This allows the elimination of the optical system that in the case of film filming was necessary to bring the image to the film.
Así se consigue que se almacene la información de la imagen digitalizada como una secuencia de segmentos. La imagen de cada segmento se almacena digitalizada, es decir, mediante una secuencia numérica. Esta información se puede utilizar directamente para formar imágenes en cascos de percepción dinámica sin tener que efectuar, como paso previo, ningún procesado informático de la imagen.This ensures that the information of the digitized image is stored as a sequence of segments. The image of each segment is stored digitized, that is, by a numerical sequence. This information can be used directly to form images in dynamic perception helmets without having to perform, as a previous step, any computer processing of the image.
El CCD se sitúa debajo de la plataforma que soporta a los objetivos:The CCD is located below the platform that supports the objectives:
El CCD puede estar, al igual que en el caso de la filmación con película, bajo de la plataforma en la que se sitúan los objetivos, consiguiéndose con ello una superficie captora mayor y por lo tanto mayor definición. En ésta opción se necesitaría el sistema óptico que lleve la imagen sin distorsiones a la base. Las dimensiones de ésta superficie se determinan de igual modo que hemos especificado anteriormente para las dimensiones del fotograma.The CCD can be, as in the case of film filming, under the platform on which the objectives are located, thereby achieving a larger capturing surface and therefore greater definition. This option would require the optical system that carries the image without distortion to the base. The dimensions of this surface are determined in the same way as we have previously specified for the frame dimensions.
En este caso no es necesaria la existencia de tiempos muertos entre la exposición de un fotograma y el siguiente. Esto reduce el numero de r.p.m. , elimina la necesidad de obturadores y permite el captar 360° consiguiendo exposiciones razonables.In this case the existence of dead times between the exposure of one frame and the next is not necessary. This reduces the number of r.p.m. , eliminates the need for shutters and allows to capture 360 ° getting reasonable exposures.
Tampoco es necesario el que los sistemas ópticos difieran en su longitud, ni el hecho de que deban grabar sobre la misma vertical de la superficie captora. Además los CCDs se pueden situar sin ningún problema en la pared exterior del cilindro que los soporta. De este modo los sistemas ópticos quedan al exterior del cilindro que soporta los CCDs. C) Filmación con tona sola película y un solo objetivo.It is also not necessary that the optical systems differ in their length, nor the fact that they must record on the same vertical of the capture surface. In addition, the CCDs can be placed without any problem on the outer wall of the cylinder that supports them. In this way the optical systems are outside the cylinder that supports the CCDs. C) Filming with a single movie and a single lens.
Es una modificación de la descrita anteriormente. La diferencia más significativa es que en lugar de poseer dos objetivos, separados a una cierta distancia, y que abarcan 360° horizontales mediante un giro angular, está dotada de un sólo objetivo que también cubre los 360° mediante un giro angular.It is a modification of the one described above. The most significant difference is that instead of having two objectives, separated at a certain distance, and covering 360 ° horizontal by an angular turn, it is endowed with a single objective that also covers 360 ° by an angular turn.
D) Filmación con dos películas y un solo objetivo.D) Filming with two films and a single objective.
Constituye un medio de facilitar, como en el caso de la B) antes descrita el arrastre, por ser alternativo, pudiendo por ello obtenerse velocidades de giro de la cámara menores para obtener un mismo número de fotogramas.It is a means of facilitating, as in the case of B) previously described, the drag, because it is an alternative, thus being able to obtain lower camera rotation speeds to obtain the same number of frames.
E) Filmación en continuo.E) Continuous filming.
Consiste en un sistema periscópico que posee una entrada de luz que se hace descender hacia una película que se dispone en horizontal a través de un sistema óptico y unos espejos que giran interiormente en el mismo sentido y a la mitad de velocidad que el espejo superior que posee el sistema periscópico.It consists of a periscopic system that has a light inlet that is lowered towards a film that is arranged horizontally through an optical system and mirrors that rotate internally in the same direction and at half the speed of the upper mirror that has the periscopic system.
Está formado por un espejo inclinado 45° respecto al eje óptico que recoge la información lumínica situada en los 360° circundantes, debido a su giro a una velocidad continua adecuada respecto a dicho eje óptico.It is formed by a 45 ° inclined mirror with respect to the optical axis that collects the light information located in the surrounding 360 °, due to its rotation at a suitable continuous speed with respect to said optical axis.
Esta información es recogida por un sistema óptico formador de imagen, y enviada a un elemento o vehículo, que proyecta la dicha imagen a un conjunto solidario de espejos, un primero oblicuo que recibe la imagen y la refleja a un segundo, preferentemente paralelo al eje óptico, y un tercero, también oblicuo, que recoge la información recibida del segundo y la devuelve al eje de proyección. Se obtiene mediante la adecuada velocidad de giro del sistema periscópico de captación con respecto a la del conjunto de espejos una correcta posición en la impresión de la película, o cualquier otro medio de registro de imagen. Con objeto de hacer mas clara la explicación que va a seguir, se acompaña doce hojas de dibujos que en veintiuna figuras representan la esencia de la presente invención. La figura 1 muestra un esquema de la cámara en planta,This information is collected by an optical image-forming system, and sent to an element or vehicle, which projects said image to a solidarity set of mirrors, an oblique first that receives the image and reflects it to a second, preferably parallel to the axis. optical, and a third, also oblique, that collects the information received from the second and returns it to the projection axis. The correct position in the printing of the film, or any other means of image registration, is obtained by means of the adequate rotation speed of the periscopic capture system with respect to that of the mirror assembly. In order to make clearer the explanation that will follow, twelve sheets of drawings are attached which in twenty-one figures represent the essence of the present invention.

La figura 1 muestra un esquema de la cámara en planta. En ella podemos apreciar indicado por el objetivo izquierdo, con 2 el objetivo derecho, con 3 el eje de giro, con 4 la plataforma de giro, con 5 el sentido de giro que adopta la cámara, y con 6 los ejes ópticos que se representan paralelos aunque después se verá poseen cierta convergencia. La distancia existente entre los objetivos, se determina de acuerdo con la distancia focal de éstos, y de acuerdo también con el efecto estereoscópico que se desea proyectar.Figure 1 shows a diagram of the camera in plan. In it we can see indicated by the left objective, with 2 the right objective, with 3 the axis of rotation, with 4 the platform of rotation, with 5 the direction of rotation that the camera adopts, and with 6 the optical axes that are represented Parallel although later it will be seen they have a certain convergence The distance between the objectives is determined according to their focal length, and also according to the stereoscopic effect to be projected.
La figura 2 muestra un esquema de la cámara en perfil. En ella se aprecia un ejemplo de la disposición de los objetivos 1 y 2 sobre la plataforma 4 con movimiento posible en torno al eje de giro 3.Figure 2 shows an outline of the camera in profile. It shows an example of the arrangement of objectives 1 and 2 on platform 4 with possible movement around the axis of rotation 3.
La figura 3 muestra un esquema de la cámara enfocando un objeto en el horizonte visual. En esta figura se aprecia que los ejes ópticos 6 son convergentes, en forma exagerada en ésta representación, sobre el objeto situado en el horizonte visual indicado por 7.Figure 3 shows a camera scheme focusing an object on the visual horizon. In this figure it can be seen that the optical axes 6 are convergent, in an exaggerated manner in this representation, on the object located in the visual horizon indicated by 7.
La figura 4 muestra un esquema del barrido de la cámara según su movimiento de giro 5. En ella podemos apreciar que en la posición 8, los objetivos 1 y 2 enfocan un punto situado en una posición secuencialmente anterior al objeto 7 que se halla en el horizonte. En la posición 9, los objetivos aquí expresados como 1' y 2', han superado en su barrido angular el objeto situado en el horizonte. La captación de ésta escena tiene lugar mediante la toma de cada uno de los segmentos de que se compone de acuerdo con el giro 5 de la cámara.Figure 4 shows a diagram of the scanning of the camera according to its turning movement 5. In it we can see that in position 8, objectives 1 and 2 focus a point located in a position sequentially before object 7 that is on the horizon. In position 9, the objectives here expressed as 1 'and 2', have exceeded in their angular sweep the object located on the horizon. The capture of this scene takes place by taking each of the segments of which it is composed according to the turn 5 of the camera.
Las figuras 5 y 7 muestran un esquema del enfoque de la cámara según el objetivo derecho e izquierdo respectivamente. En ellas se aprecia que el objetivo 2 en sus secuencias 2, 2" y 2 ' lleva a cabo un barrido que determina la visión inicial anterior (mas a la izquierda) del punto 11 por el objetivo derecho en sus secuencias 2 y 2", que en el caso del objetivo izquierdo, en que en las posiciones 1' y 1" de éste en que se aprecia una visión inicial (mas a la izquierda) del objeto del horizonte 7. En esta forma se determina la diferencia entre los puntos de vista de los objetivos 1 y 2 que luego el espectador visionará con cada uno de sus ojos. Las figuras 6 y 8 muestran el fotograma obtenido para cada objetivo según cada uno de los puntos de vista que se explican en las figuras 5 y 7.Figures 5 and 7 show a diagram of the camera's focus according to the right and left lenses respectively. In them it can be seen that objective 2 in its sequences 2, 2 "and 2 'carries out a scan that determines the previous initial vision (more to the left) of point 11 by the right objective in its sequences 2 and 2", that in the case of the left objective, in which in positions 1 'and 1 "of this one in which an initial vision (more to the left) of the object of horizon 7 is appreciated. In this way the difference between the points of view of the objectives 1 and 2 that the spectator will then see with each of their eyes Figures 6 and 8 show the frame obtained for each objective according to each of the points of view explained in Figures 5 and 7.
La figura 9 muestra una vista esquemática del sistema óptico y del rodillo de arrastre de la película.

La figura 10 muestra una vista en sección del esquema del sistema óptico de grabación sobre el fotograma situado entre los rodillos de arrastre de la película para una película única, en la que se aprecian los detalles explicados en la figura 9 sobre ésta distinta perspectiva. La figura 11 muestra una vista del esquema del rodillo portador de la película y del bucle que forma la misma, de modo que es posible que el avance de la película se produzca cuando el sistema lector está en el ángulo ciego de filmación 16, siendo determinado dicho ángulo por la posición de los rodillos 14; este esquema no permitirá la lectura de la imagen en 360°, pero en sistema de película única reduce el número de revoluciones necesarias y el sistema de la cámara. Además dicho ángulo ciego 16 hace funciones de obturador lumínico.Figure 10 shows a sectional view of the scheme of the optical recording system on the frame located between the drag rollers of the film for a single film, in which the details explained in Figure 9 can be seen on this different perspective. Figure 11 shows a diagram view of the film-bearing roller and the loop that forms it, so that it is possible for the film to advance when the reader system is at the blind angle of filming 16, being determined said angle by the position of the rollers 14; This scheme will not allow the image to be read in 360 °, but in a single film system it reduces the number of revolutions required and the camera system. Furthermore, said blind angle 16 functions as a light shutter.
La figura 12 muestra un esquema del resultado de los fotogramas grabados mediante una cámara que utiliza película simple indicándose con II el fotograma izquierdo 1, 12 el fotograma izquierdo 2, 13, el fotograma izquierdo 3, etc; y con DI el fotograma derecho 1, D2 el fotograma derecho 2, D3 el fotograma derecho 3, etc.Figure 12 shows a schematic of the result of the frames recorded by a camera using simple film indicating with II the left frame 1, 12 the left frame 2, 13, the left frame 3, etc; and with DI the right frame 1, D2 the right frame 2, D3 the right frame 3, etc.
La figura 13 muestra un esquema del sistema de grabación de película doble, en la que se aprecia con 18 los rodillos de arrastre de la película 1, con 19 los rodillos de arrastre de la película 2, con 20 el sistema óptico derecho, y con 21 el sistema óptico izquierdo, de forma que cada sistema óptico alternativamente, de acuerdo con los desplazamientos también alternativos de cada una de las películas por los rodillos de arrastre, envía la imagen captada por cada objetivo alternativamente a cada una de las películas, determinando una captación de acuerdo con la secuencia que se expone en la figura 14. Se representan con 31 el obturador de la primera película del objetivo izquierdo, con 32 el obturador de la primera película del objetivo derecho, con 33 el obturador de la segunda película del objetivo izquierdo y con 34 el obturador de la segunda película del objetivo derecho.Figure 13 shows a scheme of the double film recording system, in which 18 drag rollers of film 1 can be seen, with 19 drag rollers of film 2, with 20 the right optical system, and with 21 the left optical system, so that each optical system alternately, according to the also alternative displacements of each of the films by the drag rollers, sends the image captured by each lens alternately to each of the films, determining a uptake according to the sequence set forth in Figure 14. The shutter of the first film of the left objective is shown with 31, with 32 the shutter of the first film of the right objective, with 33 the shutter of the second film of the objective left and with 34 the shutter of the second film of the right lens.
La figura 14 muestra un esquema del resultado de los fotogramas grabados mediante una cámara que utiliza película doble, en la que se graban en la película 1 con II el fotograma del objetivo izquierdo 1 y con DI el fotograma del objetivo derecho 1; la película 1 se desplaza y al tiempo de éste desplazamiento la película 2 está grabando el fotograma 12 con el objetivo izquierdo y D2 con el objetivo derecho, cambiando a la película 1 en tanto se produce el arrastre de ésta película 2, y así sucesivamente.Figure 14 shows an outline of the result of the frames recorded by a camera using double film, in which the left objective 1 frame is recorded in film 1 with II and the right objective 1 frame with DI; the film 1 moves and at the time of this movement the film 2 is recording the frame 12 with the left objective and D2 with the right objective, switching to film 1 as long as the dragging of this film 2 occurs, and so on.
La figura 15 muestra un esquema del objetivo captor de imagen en forma electrónica con el CCD plano, que se indica por 24. El ángulo vertical 25 que sea capaz de captar la cámara, determina sobre una proyección plana de una realidad esférica, una deformación menos apreciable en la medida en que el ángulo de captación sea menor. La figura 16 muestra un esquema del objetivo captor de imagen en forma electrónica con el CCD curvo que se indica por 35. Para evitar la deformación que se origina por que el ángulo vertical 25 es muy amplio, el CCD curvo es radial al foco, por lo que recoge las imágenes en estructura real, que al ser reproducidas no producen el efecto de "ojo de pez" que se origina en los objetivos de corta distancia focal.Figure 15 shows a scheme of the image capture objective electronically with the flat CCD, indicated by 24. The vertical angle 25 that is capable of capturing the camera, determines on a flat projection of a spherical reality, a less deformation appreciable to the extent that the angle of capture is smaller. Figure 16 shows a schematic of the image capture objective electronically with the curved CCD indicated by 35. To avoid deformation caused by the vertical angle 25 being very wide, the curved CCD is radial to the focus, by what collects the images in real structure, that when reproduced do not produce the effect of "fisheye" that originates in the objectives of short focal length.
La figura 17 muestra un esquema del dispositivo captor de imagen disponiendo el CCD bajo la plataforma en torno al eje de giro, entre los sistemas ópticos de ambos objetivos, con finalidad de producir una grabación según medios electrónicos en la que el CCD se sitúa en la parte exterior del cilindro que lo soporta señalado con 26, próximo y en torno al eje de giro indicado por 3. La figura 18 muestra un esquema del dispositivo captor de imagen disponiendo el CCD bajo la plataforma en la parte interior de un cilindro dispuesto debajo de dicha plataforma, en torno a los sistemas ópticos de los objetivos, en el que el CCD se halla en la parte interior del cilindro 27.Figure 17 shows a diagram of the image capturing device arranging the CCD under the platform around the axis of rotation, between the optical systems of both objectives, in order to produce a recording according to electronic means in which the CCD is located in the outer part of the cylinder that supports it indicated with 26, near and around the axis of rotation indicated by 3. Figure 18 shows a diagram of the image capturing device arranging the CCD under the platform in the inner part of a cylinder arranged below said platform, around the optical systems of the objectives, in which the CCD is located inside the cylinder 27.
Estas dos figuras, que se han representado ambas con dos objetivos, determinan el esquema de CCD externo a los sistemas ópticos o situado entre ellos; por tanto son compatibles con cámaras de objetivo único. La figura 19 muestra un esquema de la cámara de objetivo único de barrido en 360° en una vista en planta, en la que por ser el objetivo único, la captación es monoscópica, y el sentido de giro 28 es indiferente, determinando por medio de ésta cámara la captación de la realidad en 360°, aunque no en forma estereoscópica, particularmente útil para simplificar el procedimiento de grabación y de reproducción. Además, aunque no están representados, la cámara que posee objetivo único puede hallarse dotada de película simple y doble, de acuerdo con las prestaciones necesarias.These two figures, which have both been represented with two objectives, determine the CCD scheme external to the optical systems or located between them; therefore they are compatible with single objective cameras. Figure 19 shows a diagram of the single-objective camera scanning 360 ° in a plan view, in which being the single objective, the acquisition is monoscopic, and the direction of rotation 28 is indifferent, determining through this camera the capture of reality in 360 °, although not in stereoscopic form, particularly useful to simplify the procedure of recording and reproduction. In addition, although they are not represented, the camera that has a single lens can be equipped with a single and double film, according to the necessary features.
La figura 20 muestra una vista en perfil de la cámara de la figura 19, que como se ha expresado, constituye una simplificación de la de objetivo doble con las mismas prestaciones de amplitud de visión.Figure 20 shows a profile view of the camera of Figure 19, which, as stated above, constitutes a simplification of the double objective lens with the same viewing range benefits.
La figura 21 muestra una vista de la cámara periscópica de película en continuo, en la que puede apreciarse indicado por 36 la información lumínica que proviene a través del objetivo, con 37 se señala el espejo plano giratorio inclinado 45° con respecto al eje óptico, que se señala con 38. Dicha información visual se proyecta a través de dos sistemas ópticos, uno 39 formador de imagen, y otro 40 que únicamente es vehículo de la dicha imagen. Dicha imagen se proyecta a un conjunto solidario de espejos 41,42,43 que también es giratorio; sin embargo este conjunto gira a una velocidad de 1/2 con respecto al giro del espejo superior 37 y en el mismo sentido. En este se señala con 41 un tercer espejo que forma un ángulo oblicuo al superior, en forma que su imagen la proyecta según un recorrido triangular agudo, a un espejo plano externo que se señala con 42, y a un espejo plano inferior 43 que determina la recuperación de los rayos luminosos hacia la parte inferior donde se halla situada la película 44. La película se sitúa en un plano perpendicular al eje óptico determinado por los sistemas formadores de imagen, que se encuentra tras el espejo 43, según el sentido de la luz. El avance de dicha película es continuo, y su velocidad vendrá determinada por el tamaño de los campos finitos que capta el espejo 37, y, en consecuencia, del número de campos finitos necesario para captar un horizonte de 360° el número adecuado de veces por segundo. La velocidad de captación elegida es de 25 horizontes completos por segundo. La cámara estereoscópica debe contar con un sistema binocular de este tipo.Figure 21 shows a view of the periscopic continuous film camera, in which it can be seen indicated by 36 the light information that comes through the lens, with 37 the 45 ° inclined flat rotating mirror with respect to the optical axis is indicated, which is indicated by 38. Said visual information is projected through two optical systems, one 39 imager, and another 40 which is only a vehicle of said image. Said image is projected to a solidarity set of mirrors 41,42,43 which is also rotatable; however, this assembly rotates at a speed of 1/2 with respect to the rotation of the upper mirror 37 and in the same direction. In this, a third mirror that forms an oblique angle to the upper one is indicated with 41, so that its image projects it along an acute triangular path, to an external flat mirror that is indicated with 42, and to a lower flat mirror 43 that determines the recovery of the light rays towards the bottom where the film 44 is located. The film is placed in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis determined by the imaging systems, which is located behind the mirror 43, according to the direction of light . The advance of said film is continuous, and its speed will be determined by the size of the finite fields captured by the mirror 37, and, consequently, the number of finite fields necessary to capture a horizon of 360 ° the appropriate number of times by second. The chosen pickup speed is 25 complete horizons per second. The stereoscopic camera must have a binocular system of this type.
En la realización práctica es posible combinar cámaras de objetivo doble, como de objetivo único con una o dos películas, de tal modo que aunque la cámara posea objetivo doble y capacidad para película doble, puede grabar con único objetivo y película simple, o doble objetivo y película simple, así como con único objetivo y película doble y doble objetivo y película doble. La presente invención es de aplicación industrial en la industria de la cinematografía para obtener imágenes bi o tridimensionales de escenarios naturales especialmente, así como platóes, en los que la captación tiene lugar sobre la totalidad del horizonte visible, y de acuerdo con una finalidad de ser proyectadas bien individualmente mediante cascos de proyección estereoscópica, bien mediante pantallas esféricas, u otras tecnologías de proyección. In the practical embodiment it is possible to combine dual-lens cameras, as single-purpose cameras with one or two films, so that although the camera has a double lens and double film capability, it can record with single lens and single film, or double lens and simple film, as well as with single objective and double film and double objective and double film. The present invention is of industrial application in the film industry to obtain bi or three-dimensional images of natural scenarios especially, as well as sets, in which the capture takes place over the entire visible horizon, and in accordance with a purpose of being projected either individually by stereoscopic projection helmets, either by spherical screens, or other projection technologies.
