Description

Baby's growth process image providing system and method

The present invention relates to a system and method for providing a baby's growth process video material, and more particularly, to a system and method for increasing the participation of guests by adding fun and other fun at the time of the baby's event without having to risk losing the object. It is about.

The stone was used when the period of one year, such as week (주), 회 (반복) is repeated, which means the first birthday of the baby's birth. It is usually called the first day, the day of the week, the day of the week, the year of the week, the year of the week, and the day of birth. It is also used as a way to count the age of the baby. Stones have been customary for dressing children well, setting stone statues, then taking care of them, sharing stone food with other people, and on the day of the baby's family relatives celebrate the baby's health and mother's hard work. I prayed for a long life.

In general, a stone-bearer sets a stone on the first stone and chooses to let the baby pick it up, so that he or she can see what kind of person the baby will be in the future depending on what the baby picks up. Often, stones, money, grains, brushes, books, noodles, bows, etc. are set on stone. Modern parents are diversifying and differentiating their ideas from popping goods. Like Park Chan-ho, he wants to be a well-known programmer such as baseball and Bill Gates. He also puts things like mouse, microphone, camera, stethoscope, golf ball, etc. that he / she wants to grow.

However, it is cumbersome because they have to open a variety of things at the event of the event, and after the event is over, there is a risk of losing the object. In addition, there is a problem that can be limited to the stone objects that can be provided due to the space constraints, and until now, the customer is only a reminder of the baby's job by looking at the stone house the baby's home, the process is so short that the stone event There is a limit to seeing and enjoying enough. In addition, the moderator or the baby's parents are young and soothe for the baby to take care of the baby, but also take care items, but it is difficult to attract the baby's attention easily. In addition, the guests sitting in the back seats do not see what kind of care things the baby is trying to pick up the tension or fun, and later there is a problem that the atmosphere is cluttered because there are no guests at all.

An object of the present invention is to provide a system and method that can increase the participation of the customer by adding a different fun than the existing at the event of the event without the risk of loss of the stone object.

It is also an object of the present invention to provide a system and method that can convey tension to the back seated guests and make it more fun by making it easier for the seated seated guests to see what kind of care products the baby is trying to pick up. .

In order to achieve this object, the baby growth image providing system according to the present invention comprises a storage, a processor, an input unit and a display unit. The storage unit stores different characters and images of the growth process of each of the characters. The processor generates synthesized characters and synthesized images by synthesizing a baby's face to the stored faces of the characters. The input unit is provided to allow the baby to select one of the composite characters. The display unit displays a composite image corresponding to the selected composite character.

As described above, according to the present invention, not only does it show the customers how the face changes as the baby grows at the stone event, but also visually shows how the baby grows into a synthetic character selected by the baby and the future of the working baby. It's a fun different from the traditional event, which can induce the attention of customers to increase participation in the event, and to satisfy the curiosity of parents, relatives, and guests by solving human inquiries about the growing baby's appearance. There is an effect that can be provided.

In addition, in the prior art, a variety of snorkeling objects are opened at the time of the event of the event, it is cumbersome to remove them after the event, there was a risk of loss of the object. However, in the present invention, since the baby provides an input unit to select one of the synthetic characters, and displays a composite image corresponding to the synthetic character selected by the baby, there is no need to open or remove the snarling objects, thereby simplifying preparation for the event. There is no risk of loss of the stone work.

In addition, virtual stone objects (stone items) are animated by popping up and provided in the dynamic form that the synthetic character is trying to catch, or in the dynamic form such as the expression or pose of the synthetic character changes. As a result, the baby's attention can be attracted, and as the input unit is configured as a touch screen, a baby who can't use electronic devices yet young can easily select a synthetic character.

In addition, by implementing a UI that moves according to the baby's hand movements on the input unit and providing it as a display so that the baby's hand gesture to touch the composite character is shown on the display unit, the customer sitting at the back seat at the caregiver event It's good to see if you're trying to touch a synthetic character, so it can convey tension to all your guests and adds fun. Furthermore, using the motion game function by installing a motion sensor in the present invention may give a feeling that the baby directly selects the synthesized character.

<시스템에 대한 설명><Description of the system>

1 is a schematic diagram of a baby growth image providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 1, the baby growth image providing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a storage unit 110, processing unit 120, input unit 130 and display unit 140 do. Each component may be configured in software, hardware, or a combination of software and hardware, and may exchange data with each other through logical and physical connections. In some cases, it may be set to be distributed to a plurality of devices to exchange data via a network or the like.

The storage unit 110 stores images of different characters and the growth process of each of the characters. Here, different characters mean a profession-specific model that the baby can select, and can be implemented in 2D or 3D, and the growth process of each character means a process in which the baby grows into characters. Different characters in the present invention are characters associated with the job, it is used in place of the stone objects in the stone event, such as thread, money, grain, brush, books, microphone, stethoscope. Caregiver means that the baby is going to grow up and look into what job he will be in advance. Occupational models include, but are not limited to, athletes such as golf players, figure players, soccer players, taekwondo players, doctors, CEOs, reporters, astronauts, anchors, bodyguards, judges, police officers, entertainers, etc. A variety of characters can be set, and the characteristics of the profession model mainly through belongings such as costumes, hats, microphones, soccer balls, stethoscopes, and shoes. For example, if the character is a judge character, he will study hard from school and become a judge, and then he will draw a growth process that punish immoral people. On the other hand, if you are a football player character, you will draw the growth process of participating in the World Cup as the national team and winning the championship.

The processor 120 generates the 2D or 3D synthesized characters and the synthesized images by synthesizing the baby's face on the pictures to the faces of the characters stored in the storage 110. At this time, even if they have the same job, as the clothes or the hairstyles are different according to the gender of the person, the styles that are worn as the character grows are different according to the gender of the character. It is desirable to select images to be drawn and the growth process of each of the characters to be synthesized. In other words, boys and girls can have the same occupational model, but as the child grows up in infancy, adolescence, adulthood, and old age, the character's clothing varies according to gender, so the gender of the baby is determined before the character is synthesized. For example, the characters provided for boys include taekwondo players, firefighters, police officers, doctors, astronauts, CEOs, reporters, etc. For girls, figure players, doctors, anchors, CEOs, stewardess, astronauts, etc. Some of the future occupations of boys and girls are the same, but character styles are different.

In addition, the processor 120 may process the baby's face to grow with the growth process of each character to generate natural synthetic characters and synthetic images. To this end, the processing unit 120 may be configured to include a character face extraction module 121, baby face recognition module 122, baby face extraction module 123, arithmetic processing module 124 and face synthesis module 125. Can be.

The character face extraction module 121 extracts a facial feature point of the character from the character's face.

The baby face recognition module 122 serves to recognize a baby's face in each of the pictures. The baby face recognition module 122 is provided to identify the baby's face from a complicated background or other people among several pictures prepared to synthesize the character and the baby's face. .

The baby face extraction module 123 extracts the facial feature points of the baby recognized by the baby face recognition module 122.

The calculation processing module 124 calculates the degree of agreement by comparing the facial feature points of the characters extracted from the character face extraction module 121 and the baby face extraction module 123 with the facial feature points of the baby, respectively.

The face synthesizing module 125 synthesizes the baby's face feature points to the character's face feature points according to the degree of coincidence calculated by the calculation processing module 124 to generate a synthesized character and a synthesized image. In order for the baby's face to be naturally synthesized on the character's face, it is desirable to use photographs in which the baby's facial expressions are varied, such as the baby's face, side, sleeping, smiling, and crying. In the present invention, the feature point of the face means an element that can know the impression or expression that appears on the face, such as the contour of the character and the baby's face, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, etc., and the feature point includes the shape and position of each element. .

The input unit 130 is provided so that the baby can select one of the synthetic characters from the synthetic characters at a rocking event, and a button or a mouse can be manipulated so that the baby, who is not young and can not use the electronic device, can easily select the synthetic character. It is preferable that it is a touch screen that does not need to be. Therefore, the input unit 130 serves to display the characters and to select a character by the touch. In addition, the synthesized characters may be provided in the input unit 130 as a static image, but in order to attract the baby's attention, the synthesized characters may be provided in a dynamic form such as a change in the expression or pose of the synthesized characters. Alternatively, virtual stone objects (stone items) may be bounced up and animate on the input unit 130, and may be provided in a dynamic form to be captured by a synthetic character.

The display 140 displays a synthesized image corresponding to the synthesized character selected by the baby through the input unit 130, and is connected to the input unit 130 by wire or wirelessly. And when the application is executed in the input unit 130, it is desirable to provide a display screen with the composite characters that can be selected by the baby to the display unit 140 so that the guests of the care event can also see what the occupational model is there, For example, it may be composed of a projector and a large screen, or a large TV as shown in FIG. 1 so that guests can watch the composite image together.

According to the present invention, the attention of the guests is not only shown to the guests at the event of the baby but also how the face changes as the baby grows, how to grow into a synthetic character selected by the baby, and the future of the working baby. It is possible to provide different fun from the existing event, such as raising the participation rate of the event and satisfying the curiosity of parents, relatives, and guests by solving human inquiries about the growing baby. . In addition, in the prior art, a variety of snorkeling objects are opened at the time of the event of the event, it is cumbersome to remove them after the event, there was a risk of loss of the object. However, in the present invention, since the baby provides the input unit 130 to select one of the synthetic characters, and displays a composite image corresponding to the synthetic character selected by the baby, there is no need to open or move away the objects of the preparation to prepare for the event. It has the advantage of being simple and without the risk of losing the stonework. In addition, it is preferable to implement a UI moving according to the movement of the baby's hand on the input unit 130 and provide it to the display 140 so that the baby's hand movement to touch the synthetic character is shown on the display unit 140. According to this configuration, the guests sitting in the back seat can also convey a sense of tension and add fun to the customers sitting in the back seat because they can see what synthetic characters the baby is trying to touch. Further, by using the motion game function by installing the motion sensor in the present invention, it is possible to give a feeling as if the baby directly selects a synthetic character, thereby providing a vivid stone appearance.

Here, the baby growth image providing system 100 is one of the components of the storage unit 110, the processor 120, the input unit 130 of the touch terminal 150 as shown in (a), (b) of FIG. It can be configured to have portability and convenience. In addition, the present invention allows the parent to select the baby's gender and desired characters in advance so that the characters corresponding to the baby's future desired occupation are displayed on the input unit 130, or support various functions later. .

On the other hand, in general, when the baby grows a lot of cheeks, as the growth of the face disappears, the outline of the face becomes thinner, and the neck is obvious. In other words, the face changes as the baby grows, so that the face of the baby needs to grow as the character grows, so that the character and the baby's face are naturally synthesized. To this end, the face synthesis module 125 of the processing unit 120 synthesizes the baby's face feature points to the character's face feature points when the match degree is 60% or more, and forms the shape and position of the face feature points of the baby when the match degree is less than 60%. It is appropriately deformed and synthesized to the facial feature points of the character. In the present invention, the reason for limiting the reference range of the degree of agreement to 60% is as a result of experimenting with various reference ranges such as 50%, 60%, and 70%, so that the baby's face shape can be synthesized as much as possible to enable natural synthesis. At the same time, it is because the awkwardness of the synthesized character in the synthesized image when the pose and expression are contradictory is excluded.

In the following, the synthesis is performed according to the contours of the face, the shape of the eye and the mouth, and the degree of matching.

First, as a person grows, the face outline of the character's baby is oval and grows into a U-shape as it grows, and the face outline varies depending on the character's baby's front and sides, and how much the baby turns his face. Therefore, if the character's face contour is compared with the baby's face contour, if the match is more than 60%, it is extracted along the baby's face contour and synthesized in the character's face area. Synthesize If the match is less than 60%, the facial contour is extracted in the same shape as the facial contour of the character in the face area of the baby picture. According to this extraction method, the faces of babies most matching the face front and side views of the characters in each frame of the image, that is, the baby faces on the pictures, are extracted and naturally synthesized to each face of the characters. In addition, it is possible to express various expressions by changing the shape and position of eyes and mouth, or nose, and the distance between the baby's eyes and eyes, or the ratio of eyes, mouth, and nose, and maximize the reliability of synthesis. It is important to extract the shape and location of the eyes and mouth from each and the baby's face and compare them. In the case of eyes, the shape and position of the eyes are extracted from each of the character and the face of the baby, and the eye-related expressions are related to the eyes such as the degree of opening and closing of the eyelids, the position of the eyelids, the position of the pupils, and the ratio of the left and right and upper and lower length If the match is 60% or more, the baby's eyes can be synthesized into the character's eyes as they are. If the degree of match is less than 60%, the baby's eyelids can be moved up and down, or the children's eyes are raised or lowered according to the character's eye expression. Similarly, in the case of the mouth, the shape and position of the mouth are extracted from each of the character and the face of the baby, and mouth-related facial expressions can be known from the mouth-related information such as the opening and closing of the mouth, the positions of the upper and lower lips, and the positions of the mouth tails. If the match is 60% or more, the baby's mouth can be synthesized directly into the character's mouth. If the match is less than 60%, the baby's upper and lower lips can be moved up, down, left, or right, or the tail of the mouth is raised or lowered according to the character's mouth expression. .

As described above, the facial feature point of the baby is extracted from the photograph, and compared with the facial feature point of the character to determine the degree of matching, and then the facial feature point of the most matching baby is synthesized to the character feature point of the character, so that the baby's face is kept as possible. While using it, it is possible to synthesize the characters' poses and expressions to match. In other words, the feature points that have more than 60% agreement between the facial feature points of the baby and the character's face feature use the baby's face feature points as they are, and modify only the feature points that have less than 60% match and synthesize them to the character's face feature points. Can be obtained. In other words, the facial expression of the character is produced in various ways according to the pose of the character and the story of the image. According to the above-described synthesis method, the baby is similar to the facial expression of the character in each frame even if the baby expressions on the pictures are not diverse. 'S facial expressions can be generated to obtain natural composite characters and composite images.

On the other hand, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a baby growth image providing system according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the baby growth image providing system 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a storage unit 210, an input unit 230, and a display unit 240.

The storage unit 210 stores the synthetic characters in which the baby's face is synthesized on the faces of different characters and synthetic images of the growth processes of the synthesized characters, and the user synthesizes the baby's face on the characters' faces. If you make a composite video, save it. For example, when a user takes a variety of facial expressions of a baby in a studio, extracts a baby's face from a picture, and then synthesizes the corresponding characters of a girl or a boy to create a growth story, the information is stored in the storage unit 210. Are stored in. The user may modify the baby's facial expression as appropriate for the story of the composite image as needed. At this time, the different characters are occupational models that can be selected by the baby, such as athletes, doctors, astronauts, announcers, judges, etc., and the growth process of each of the synthetic characters means the process of the baby growing into synthetic characters. do.

The input unit 230 is provided so that the baby can select one of the synthesized characters, the display unit 240 displays a synthesized image corresponding to the synthesized character selected by the baby, and the configurations 230 and 240. ) Is similar to the input unit 130 and the display unit 140 of FIG. 1 and will be omitted.

As described above, since the characters of the baby's gender and the baby's face are provided with the image of the growing process, not only the guest shows how the face changes as the baby grows, but also the synthetic character selected by the baby at the babysitting event. By visually showing the future of the growing baby and working baby, it can attract the attention of the customers and increase participation in the care event, and solve the human inquiries about the growing baby's appearance. It can provide fun that is different from the traditional stone-making events, such as satisfying curiosity.

<방법에 대한 설명><Description of the method>

The facial feature point of the baby recognized in step S262 is extracted. The facial feature point of the baby is the same as the facial feature point extracted from the character's face.

6-4. Concordance calculation operation <S264>

The degree of matching is computed by comparing the facial feature points of the character extracted in step S261 with the facial feature points of the baby extracted in step S263.

6-5. Synthesis by Concordance

The facial feature points of the baby are synthesized into the facial feature points of the character according to the degree of matching calculated in step S264, and the following steps are performed.

6-5-1. Determination of Concordance over 60% <S265a>

First, it is determined whether the coincidence calculated in step S264 is 60% or more.

6-5-2. Synthesis with Concordance of 60% or More <S265b>

As a result of the determination in step S265a, when the match degree is 60% or more, the facial feature point of the baby is synthesized into the facial feature point of the character.

6-5-3. Synthesis with less than 60% agreement <S265c>

As a result of the determination in step S265a, when the match degree is less than 60%, the shape and position of the facial feature point of the baby are modified and synthesized into the facial feature point of the character.

In the following description with reference to the step S260 video from the baby to the Taekwondo player to grow as an example.

When the storage unit 110 stores a football player character having a different expression and a different pose for each frame of the football player image, that is, when the process from the baby to the football player is stored, the processor 120 ) Extracts face contours, eyes, noses and mouths from the faces of the football player characters, and extracts the face contours, eyes, noses and mouths from the baby's faces, respectively, and compares them, and computes the degree of agreement. Depending on the character of the athlete, the baby's face contour, eyes, nose and mouth are taken as is or modified accordingly. In this manner, a synthetic character such as a judge, an astronaut, a police officer, and a corresponding synthetic image may be generated.
