Can be displayed on the screen.

FIG. 19 is an exemplary diagram for describing a process of performing a photographing by a photo ticket generating apparatus 100 to which the present invention may be applied.

Referring to FIG. 19, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may include a camera, and the user may take a picture of the user according to a request or an input of a user who wants to take a picture through the photo ticket generating device 100. To do this, you can make a connection to the camera.

In this case, the camera may reproduce the user's image in real time through an internal or external screen (for example, the display unit 140), and when the user's image is reproduced through the screen as described above, the camera is ready to take a picture. It can be assumed that the state.

Meanwhile, as described above, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may connect a photo object, which may be expressed as an image or a video, to a real time camera image in order to simultaneously express a real time camera image and a photo object on a display screen.

That is, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 opens a file of the selected photo object according to a user's input or a command set in the photo ticket generating apparatus 100, and displays the corresponding file, that is, the photo or animation. It may be displayed on the display screen by overlapping (overlap) on the camera image as a form.

Thereafter, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may perform the photographing according to a user's input or by a preset timer in the photo ticket generating apparatus 100, and the photographed photo may include only the image of the user. As described above, the photo object may be a single photo including both the photo object and the user's image.

Meanwhile, although not shown in FIG. 19, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 performs the brightness control of the illumination and the opening / closing control of the transparent liquid crystal panel based on the measured illuminance as will be described later. It is possible to adjust the amount of light source to be applied to the photo to be generated by. In addition, together with or separately from the photograph, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 estimates a light source (for example, the brightness of the light source, etc.) from the photograph obtained from the camera unit 150, and based on this, The light source and the like can also be corrected in software.

In more detail, in general, a photo or an image acquired through a camera may not provide a satisfactory image quality due to color mismatch with a photo object to be synthesized due to the influence of an ambient light source.

Therefore, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 controls the brightness of the illumination and the opening and closing of the transparent liquid crystal panel based on the illuminance measured by the illuminance sensor unit 120 as described above to reduce the influence of the ambient light source. The amount of light source to be irradiated can be adjusted / controlled by hardware. In addition, software adjustment / control to estimate the brightness of the light source and correct the photograph based on the photographed image can be performed.

For this software adjustment, for example, the light source of the photo or image is made through a retinex algorithm based on color homeostasis, which recognizes the intrinsic color of the object by canceling the effect of the ambient light source using the light energy reflected from the object. The brightness can be estimated and compensated.

To this end, first, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may convert an RGB image into a YCbCr space and apply a Gaussian kernel of various sizes to the brightness channel to calculate the brightness component of the light source. In addition, in order to compensate for the brightness, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may divide the calculated brightness of the light source into the brightness channel of the picture or the image to compensate for the brightness of the light source in the picture or the image, wherein the Retinex You can also perform multiple Retinex applications that apply the algorithm repeatedly.

The photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may perform synthesis after converting similarly to each other by adjusting their respective colors and contrasts in order to synthesize a photo, etc., which have undergone preprocessing of light source correction according to the above process, with the photo object. Can be.

a) contrast adjustment

In order for a picture or video to be well represented, the gray levels of each channel should be adjusted evenly. However, in the commonly used RGB color space, the color of a photo or an image also changes due to correlation between channels. Therefore, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 separates brightness and chromaticity through color space conversion and extracts and analyzes only brightness components to reduce such color distortion.

The photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may extract only the brightness component and analyze the increase of the gray scale and the distribution of each gray gray scale by comparing the histogram of the brightness.

Therefore, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may reduce the over-enhancement defect that occurs when performed globally while maintaining the shape of the histogram similarly.

b) saturation control

In the photo ticket generating apparatus 100, color may be improved by adjusting saturation in a photograph or image having improved brightness. By adjusting the color space conversion that can separate chromaticity and brightness components such as CIELAB and HSV, such as contrast control, it is possible to perform correction by extracting only the saturation component according to brightness and increasing it. It can also be estimated and corrected to reproduce color with your favorite skin color. These will be described later in detail with reference to FIGS. 22 to 27.

Since the user may take a picture in a predetermined space for taking a picture, the illumination sensor 120 may measure the illumination of the predetermined space range.

In the present invention, the illuminance means a value measured by dividing the light beam projected into the predetermined spatial range by the area of the predetermined spatial range, and refers to the brightness of the predetermined spatial range. The unit of illuminance may be lux or candela (cd), where 1 lux is 1 m (meters) away from a candle-power light source and is perpendicular to the light. It means brightness. In addition, the illuminance may be 1/4 when the distance from the light source is doubled, 1/9 when it is tripled, and 1/16 when it is quadrupled.

The controller 190 of the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may control the brightness of the illumination used when photographing the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 based on the illuminance measured by the illumination sensor 120.

More specifically, the brightness level of the light provided by the lighting unit 160 in the present invention may be divided into any one of Low, Normal or High. However, this is only an example, but is not limited thereto, and may be further subdivided or simplified.

The lighting unit 160 in the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may control the brightness of the illumination by setting the brightness level corresponding to the illuminance measured by the illuminance sensor unit 120 among the brightness stages of the illumination.

For example, when the illuminance measured by the illuminance sensor unit 120 is low illuminance lower than a predetermined reference, the lighting unit 160 may control the brightness of the illumination to be set to high. In this case, since the brightness of the illumination becomes stronger, a larger amount of light source may be introduced when the photo ticket generating device 100 takes a picture.

In addition, when the measured illuminance is higher illuminance (high illuminance) than a predetermined reference, the lighting unit 160 may control to set the brightness of the light to a low (Low), in this case the brightness of the light is relative Since the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 is weakened, only a small amount of light may be introduced.

Meanwhile, the controller 190 of the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 is mounted on the front of the camera unit 150 based on the illuminance measured by the illuminance sensor unit 120, and the amount of light source irradiated to the camera unit when the picture is taken.

More specifically, the transparent liquid crystal panel may be attached to the front of the camera unit 150 of the photo ticket generating device 100, the transparent liquid crystal panel can be opened and closed. In addition, according to whether the transparent liquid crystal panel is opened or closed, the transmittance of the light source irradiated to the camera unit 150 can be controlled as if it is attached to a window to control the amount of sun light flowing into the room, in the present invention, The opening and closing of the transparent liquid crystal panel is controlled based on the illuminance measured by the illuminance sensor unit 120, and ultimately, the transmittance of the light source irradiated to the camera unit 150 can be controlled. The amount of the light source for the picture taken by the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may be adjusted.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 21, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention may be configured to display the brightness and / or the transparency of the illumination according to the illumination unit 160 based on the illuminance measured by the illuminance sensor. The transmittance of the light source irradiated to the camera unit 150 according to the liquid crystal panel may be controlled. Accordingly, the camera unit 150 of the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may be configured to include the illumination unit 160 and the transparent liquid crystal panel. The user's image reflecting the control result may be photographed to generate a photographed picture of the user.

Referring again to FIG. 20, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 generating a photographed picture of the user by reflecting the control results of the lighting unit 160 and the transparent liquid crystal panel may output the photographed picture of the user as it is or the user may The image may be output after being synthesized with a preselected photo object. However, the photographed image of the user may be output to the process of software (eg, a correction program 131) previously installed in the photo ticket generating apparatus 100. Additional calibration can be performed accordingly. Further correction performed according to the process by the software will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 22 to 27 below.

FIG. 22 is an exemplary diagram for describing a process of estimating the brightness of a light source by the phototicket generating apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 23 is a phototicket generating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. 100 is an exemplary view for explaining a process of correcting the brightness of the light source.

First, referring to FIG. 22, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may first extract a brightness component of a photographed picture for the user in order to perform a software additional correction on the photographed picture for the user. For this purpose, a brightness image through YCbCr color space conversion can be obtained.

At this time, the color space for obtaining the brightness component may be used, such as HSV (Hue, Saturation Value), HIS (Hue, Intensity, Saturation), CIELAB conversion, etc. As shown in FIG. 22, a Gaussian Kernel ) Can also estimate the brightness component of the light source.

To this end, the phototicket generating apparatus 100 may generate three Gaussian kernels G1, G2, and G3, as shown in FIG. 22, by using the standard deviation σ of the Gaussian function set differently below. The three Gaussian kernels generated above may be applied to the brightness component of the picture. Afterwards, as shown in Equation 1, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may add a weight w to the photos to which the kernel is applied, and then estimate the brightness component S ′ of the light source in the corresponding photo. have.

Referring to FIG. 23, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may further perform brightness correction on the photographed picture of the user according to a process by software. Can be corrected to make it brighter or darker.

That is, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may compensate for the brightness of the light source in the photographed picture for the user. More specifically, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may be previously described as shown in Equation 2 below. The brightness of the light source may be compensated by dividing each channel I of the RGB image by the light source S ′ estimated according to Equation 1.

On the other hand, as described above, the present invention, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may perform the synthesis or fusion of the photographed picture and the photo object for the user. That is, it is possible to generate an image obtained by synthesizing the photographed picture and the photo object for the user. In this case, the photo object and the photographed picture of the user may be synthesized or fused, including improvement of color and contrast.

In addition, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may perform synthesis after converting each of them similarly by adjusting their respective colors and contrasts in order to synthesize the photographed photo and the photo object for the user whose light source is corrected. have.

In order to analyze the contrast between the photographed photograph and the photo object for the user, the inventor of the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 first calculates a histogram range between each channel, estimates a minimum value and a maximum value, and matches the two objects. The note may perform histogram matching. In addition, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may synthesize the photo ticket by adjusting a filter and a color in addition to the photographed picture of the user.

Referring to FIG. 24, as described above, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may generate an image obtained by synthesizing a photographed photograph and a photo object of a user. To this end, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may adjust the brightness of the illumination and the amount of light flowing into the camera by using the illuminance according to the above-described method, or may estimate and correct the light source with respect to the photograph taken by the user. Alternatively, the photographed picture of the user who has gone through each or all of these processes may be synthesized through the photo object and image fusion technology. In this case, the image fusion technology may be interpreted as a concept including all of the technologies for combining or synthesizing the images released to date and all the technologies for combining or synthesizing all the images to be released in the future.

In addition, the image fusion may include an image fusion through enhancement of color and contrast and an image fusion through correction of skin color and gray gradation, and the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may synthesize the image generated through the image fusion. May be output to a printer capable of outputting a photo, or alternatively, may be displayed through a screen in the photo ticket generating apparatus 100.

25 is an exemplary view for explaining a process of synthesizing an image by improving the color and contrast of the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 25, as described above, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may perform histogram matching using a photo object, which is a target of performing the synthesis, and a photographed picture of the user.

In this case, the histogram matching means that the photo synthesizing apparatus estimates a minimum value and a maximum value for each channel in each of the photographed picture and the photo object for the user, based on the smallest minimum value or the largest maximum value. It means to match the range of values between channels using histogram stretching technique.

After performing histogram matching, the photo synthesizing apparatus may perform filtering and / or color correction. In addition, the filtering and / or color correction means that the photo synthesizing apparatus performs additional filtering and color correction processing on the photographed photo for the user before synthesizing the photographed photo and the photo object for the user.

In addition, filtering and color correction may be performed in whole or in part with the photographed picture for the user, in which the whole means a whole photographed picture for the user, and the part is face detection among the photographed picture for the user. This means that only certain parts of the image are applied, such as skin color correction.

On the other hand, the filtering uses a bilateral filter (bilateral filter) while preserving the edge (edge) of the photograph taken for the user, while reducing the noise existing in the flat area, and reduces the boundary and color bleeding phenomenon, etc. A state means to play a role. The color correction may be performed by extracting and increasing only the saturation component using a color space transformation capable of separating chromaticity and brightness components such as CIELAB and HSV of the image.

Thereafter, the photo ticket generating apparatus 100 may reproduce the determined preferred skin color by applying the determined preferred skin color to the skin color region of the object detected in the photographed picture for the user.

In this case, the analysis and determination of the preferred skin color may be defined through a chromaticity coordinate system through a preferred skin color experiment, and the skin color detection of the object in the photographed image for the user may be detected using the color space. That is, the skin color may exist within a certain range in various color spaces. For example, in the RGB color space, the value of the R channel has a distribution smaller than that of the G channel or the B channel, and the R color is less than that of the G channel or the B channel. The value has a higher correlation. Therefore, in consideration of the characteristics in the color space, it is possible to detect the skin color of the object in the photographed picture for the user.

The photo ticket generating apparatus 100 calculates the difference between the preferred skin color determined according to the above method and the skin color of the object detected in the photographed picture of the user, in proportion to the object detected in the photographed picture of the user. The skin color of can be reproduced with the preferred skin color determined above.
