 以下、本発明の一実施形態について説明する。下記の実施形態は、本発明の様々な実施形態の一つに過ぎない。また、下記の実施形態は、本発明の目的を達成できれば、設計等に応じて種々の変更が可能である。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The following embodiment is only one of various embodiments of the present invention. Further, the following embodiments can be variously changed according to the design or the like as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved.
 本実施形態のインターホンシステム10は、図1に示すように、インターホン親機1と、インターホン子機2とを備えている。本実施形態では、インターホンシステム10が、集合住宅用のインターホンシステムである場合を例として説明する。なお、以下の説明において来訪者100A,100Bをとくに区別しない場合には、来訪者100A,100Bの各々を「来訪者100」という。 The interphone system 10 of the present embodiment includes an interphone master unit 1 and an interphone slave unit 2 as shown in FIG. This embodiment demonstrates as an example the case where the intercom system 10 is an intercom system for apartment houses. In the following description, when the visitors 100A and 100B are not particularly distinguished, each of the visitors 100A and 100B is referred to as “visitor 100”.
 インターホン親機1は、集合住宅の住戸内(室内)に設置される室内親機である。インターホン子機2は、集合住宅の共用スペース(ロビー)に設置されるロビーインターホンである。インターホン親機1とインターホン子機2とは互いに通信可能に構成されている。これにより、インターホンシステム10では、インターホン親機1とインターホン子機2との間で通話可能となる。また、インターホン子機2には撮像部21が設けられ、インターホン親機1には表示部12が設けられている。これにより、インターホンシステム10では、インターホン子機2の撮像部21で撮像された来訪者等の画像をインターホン親機1の表示部12に表示することができる。 The intercom base unit 1 is an indoor base unit installed in a dwelling unit (indoor) of an apartment house. The intercom handset 2 is a lobby intercom installed in a common space (lobby) of an apartment house. The interphone master unit 1 and the interphone slave unit 2 are configured to be able to communicate with each other. Thereby, in the intercom system 10, a call can be made between the interphone master unit 1 and the interphone slave unit 2. The intercom handset 2 is provided with an imaging unit 21, and the intercom base unit 1 is provided with a display unit 12. Thereby, in the intercom system 10, an image of a visitor or the like captured by the image capturing unit 21 of the interphone slave unit 2 can be displayed on the display unit 12 of the interphone master unit 1.
 インターホン子機2は、図1に示すように、撮像部21と、子機通信部22と、画像補正部23と、子機制御部24と、操作部25と、記憶部26とを有している。 As shown in FIG. 1, the interphone slave unit 2 includes an imaging unit 21, a slave unit communication unit 22, an image correction unit 23, a slave unit control unit 24, an operation unit 25, and a storage unit 26. ing.
 撮像部21は、特定領域を撮像する撮像素子211と、撮像素子211に対して傾斜可能なレンズ212とを含んでいる。撮像部21は、来訪者等の被写体を撮像するためのカメラである。そのため、来訪者がインターホン子機2を操作する際に少なくとも来訪者の顔が画像に写り込むように、撮像部21の撮像エリア(視野)はインターホン子機2の前方に設定される。本実施形態では、撮像部21は動画を撮像するカメラであると仮定するが、撮像部21は静止画を撮像するカメラ(スチルカメラ)であってもよい。また、本実施形態では、撮像部21はカラー画像を撮像するカラーカメラであると仮定するが、撮像部21はモノクローム画像を撮像するモノクロームカメラであってもよい。ここに、本実施形態では、集合住宅の共用スペースが特定領域である。もちろん、特定領域は集合住宅の共用スペースに限らず、例えばインターホン子機2が集合住宅の各住戸の外玄関に設置されている場合には、各住戸の玄関先が特定領域となる。 The imaging unit 21 includes an imaging element 211 that images a specific area, and a lens 212 that can be tilted with respect to the imaging element 211. The imaging unit 21 is a camera for imaging a subject such as a visitor. Therefore, the imaging area (field of view) of the imaging unit 21 is set in front of the interphone slave unit 2 so that at least the face of the visitor is reflected in the image when the visitor operates the interphone slave unit 2. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the imaging unit 21 is a camera that captures a moving image, but the imaging unit 21 may be a camera (still camera) that captures a still image. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the imaging unit 21 is a color camera that captures a color image, but the imaging unit 21 may be a monochrome camera that captures a monochrome image. Here, in this embodiment, the common space of the apartment house is a specific area. Of course, the specific area is not limited to the common space of the apartment house. For example, when the interphone handset 2 is installed at the outer entrance of each dwelling unit of the apartment house, the entrance of each dwelling unit is the specific area.
 撮像素子211は、例えばCCD(Charge Coupled Devices)イメージセンサ、又はCMOS(Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor)イメージセンサ等の二次元イメージセンサである。撮像部21は、被写体からの光をレンズ212によって撮像素子211の撮像面(受光面)上に結像させ、撮像素子211にて被写体からの光を電気信号(画像信号)に変換する。そのため、撮像部21で撮像された画像は、撮像部21から画像信号として出力される。ここでは、撮像部21は、撮像素子211の出力信号からYUVフォーマットのデジタルの画像信号を生成し、デジタルの画像信号を出力するように構成されている。レンズ212は、例えば180度以上の画角を有する魚眼レンズ(超広角レンズ)であり、左右方向(図2の紙面に垂直な方向)と直交する平面において撮像素子211に対して回転可能(傾斜可能)に構成されている。したがって、撮像素子211とレンズ212とを含む撮像部21の光軸P1(図2参照)は、レンズ212の傾斜角度α1(図7参照)に応じて変化することになる。 The imaging element 211 is a two-dimensional image sensor such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Devices) image sensor or a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) image sensor. The imaging unit 21 forms an image of light from the subject on the imaging surface (light receiving surface) of the imaging device 211 by the lens 212, and converts the light from the subject into an electrical signal (image signal) by the imaging device 211. Therefore, the image captured by the imaging unit 21 is output from the imaging unit 21 as an image signal. Here, the imaging unit 21 is configured to generate a digital image signal in YUV format from the output signal of the imaging element 211 and output the digital image signal. The lens 212 is a fish-eye lens (super wide angle lens) having an angle of view of, for example, 180 degrees or more, and is rotatable (tiltable) with respect to the image sensor 211 in a plane orthogonal to the left-right direction (direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. ). Therefore, the optical axis P1 (see FIG. 2) of the imaging unit 21 including the imaging element 211 and the lens 212 changes according to the tilt angle α1 (see FIG. 7) of the lens 212.
 子機通信部22は、インターホン親機1と通信するための通信インターフェースである。子機通信部22は、例えばツイストペア線等からなる2線式の伝送路4(図1では1本の線で示す)を介して、インターホン親機1と電気的に接続されている。子機通信部22は、送信部221を含んでいる。送信部221は、撮像部21で撮像された画像の画像信号をインターホン親機1に送信する。さらに、インターホン子機2とインターホン親機1との間で音声信号及び制御信号が双方向に伝送可能となるよう、子機通信部22は、インターホン親機1との間で双方向に通信可能に構成されている。 The slave unit communication unit 22 is a communication interface for communicating with the interphone master unit 1. The slave unit communication unit 22 is electrically connected to the interphone master unit 1 via a two-wire transmission path 4 (indicated by one line in FIG. 1) made of, for example, a twisted pair line. The subunit | mobile_unit communication part 22 contains the transmission part 221. FIG. The transmission unit 221 transmits the image signal of the image captured by the imaging unit 21 to the intercom base unit 1. Further, the slave unit communication unit 22 can communicate bidirectionally with the interphone master unit 1 so that audio signals and control signals can be transmitted bidirectionally between the interphone slave unit 2 and the interphone master unit 1. It is configured.
 画像補正部23は、撮像部21から出力される画像信号に対して、画像の歪みを補正する歪み補正処理を行うように構成されている。子機通信部22には、画像補正部23から出力される画像(画像信号)が入力される。そのため、送信部221は、撮像部21から出力された状態の画像信号ではなく、画像補正部23で補正された画像信号をインターホン親機1に送信することになる。画像補正部23は、例えばDSP(Digital Signal Processor)又はFPGA(Field-Programmable Gate Array)等で実現される。なお、画像補正部23の歪み補正処理については後述する。 The image correction unit 23 is configured to perform distortion correction processing for correcting image distortion on the image signal output from the imaging unit 21. The slave unit communication unit 22 receives an image (image signal) output from the image correction unit 23. Therefore, the transmission unit 221 transmits the image signal corrected by the image correction unit 23 to the intercom base unit 1 instead of the image signal output from the imaging unit 21. The image correction unit 23 is realized by, for example, a DSP (Digital Signal Processor) or an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array). The distortion correction processing of the image correction unit 23 will be described later.
 操作部25は、来訪者から呼び出しのための操作を受け付ける。操作部25に対して所定の操作(例えば押操作)がされると、インターホン子機2は、住居内の居住者を呼び出すための制御信号(呼出信号)を子機通信部22からインターホン親機1へ送信する。また、操作部25は、撮像素子211に対するレンズ212の傾斜角度α1、及びインターホン子機2が取り付けられる取付台3(図2参照)の取付面31の傾斜角度θ2を入力可能に構成されている。これらの傾斜角度α1、θ2は、インターホンシステム10の施工時において施工者によって入力される。 The operation unit 25 receives an operation for calling from a visitor. When a predetermined operation (for example, a push operation) is performed on the operation unit 25, the interphone handset 2 sends a control signal (call signal) for calling a resident in the residence from the handset communication unit 22 to the interphone base unit. Send to 1. The operation unit 25 is configured to be able to input an inclination angle α1 of the lens 212 with respect to the image sensor 211 and an inclination angle θ2 of the mounting surface 31 of the mounting base 3 (see FIG. 2) to which the interphone slave unit 2 is mounted. . These inclination angles α1 and θ2 are input by the installer when the interphone system 10 is installed.
 記憶部26は、データを書き換え可能なメモリであって、不揮発性メモリであることが好ましい。記憶部26は、撮像部21で撮像された画像を記録するように構成されている。また、記憶部26には、撮像部21で撮像された画像に対して行われる複数の歪み補正パターンが予め記録されている。本実施形態では、複数の歪み補正パターンとして、第1歪み補正パターン、第2歪み補正パターン及び第3歪み補正パターンが予め記憶部26に記録されている。第1歪み補正パターンでは、画像の左右方向(水平方向)に歪み補正を行う。第2歪み補正パターンでは、画像の左右方向及び上下方向(鉛直方向)に歪み補正を行う。第3歪み補正パターンでは、第2歪み補正パターンとは異なる補正強度で画像の左右方向及び上下方向に歪み補正を行う。ここに、補正強度とは、水平方向及び鉛直方向のうちの少なくとも一方向における引き延ばし度合いのことをいう。例えば、水平方向の補正強度が強い場合には、水平方向に大きく引き延ばされることになる。 The storage unit 26 is a rewritable memory and is preferably a non-volatile memory. The storage unit 26 is configured to record an image captured by the imaging unit 21. In addition, a plurality of distortion correction patterns that are performed on the image captured by the imaging unit 21 are recorded in the storage unit 26 in advance. In the present embodiment, a first distortion correction pattern, a second distortion correction pattern, and a third distortion correction pattern are recorded in advance in the storage unit 26 as a plurality of distortion correction patterns. In the first distortion correction pattern, distortion correction is performed in the left-right direction (horizontal direction) of the image. In the second distortion correction pattern, distortion correction is performed in the horizontal direction and vertical direction (vertical direction) of the image. In the third distortion correction pattern, distortion correction is performed in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction of the image with a correction intensity different from that of the second distortion correction pattern. Here, the correction strength refers to the degree of stretching in at least one of the horizontal direction and the vertical direction. For example, when the correction strength in the horizontal direction is strong, the correction is greatly extended in the horizontal direction.
 子機制御部24は、インターホン子機2の各構成要素を制御する。子機制御部24は、例えばCPU(Central Processing Unit)及びメモリを主構成とするマイクロコンピュータで構成されており、CPUがメモリに格納されているプログラムを実行することにより、マイクロコンピュータが子機制御部24として機能する。CPUが実行するプログラムは、ここではマイクロコンピュータのメモリに予め記録されているが、メモリカード等の非一時的な記録媒体に記録されて提供されてもよいし、電気通信回線を通じて提供されてもよい。 The slave unit control unit 24 controls each component of the intercom slave unit 2. The slave unit control unit 24 is composed of, for example, a microcomputer having a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a memory as main components, and the microcomputer executes a program stored in the memory so that the microcomputer can control the slave unit. It functions as the unit 24. Here, the program executed by the CPU is recorded in advance in the memory of the microcomputer, but may be provided by being recorded on a non-temporary recording medium such as a memory card or provided through an electric communication line. Good.
 インターホン子機2は、図2に示すように、筐体20を更に有している。筐体20は、厚みの薄い矩形箱状に形成されており、筐体20の内部には、撮像部21及び送信部221を含むインターホン子機2の各構成要素が収納されている。 The intercom handset 2 further includes a housing 20 as shown in FIG. The casing 20 is formed in a rectangular box shape with a small thickness, and each component of the intercom slave device 2 including the imaging unit 21 and the transmission unit 221 is accommodated in the casing 20.
 インターホン親機1は、図1に示すように、親機通信部11と、表示部12と、親機制御部13と、画像処理部14と、操作部15とを有している。 As shown in FIG. 1, the intercom base unit 1 includes a base unit communication unit 11, a display unit 12, a base unit control unit 13, an image processing unit 14, and an operation unit 15.
 親機通信部11は、インターホン子機2と通信するための通信インターフェースである。親機通信部11は、伝送路4を介して、インターホン子機2の子機通信部22と電気的に接続されている。親機通信部11は、受信部111を含んでいる。受信部111は、インターホン子機2の送信部221から送信された画像信号を受信する。さらに、インターホン親機1との間で音声信号及び制御信号が双方向に伝送可能となるよう、親機通信部11は、インターホン子機2(子機通信部22)との間で双方向に通信可能に構成されている。 The base unit communication unit 11 is a communication interface for communicating with the interphone handset 2. The base unit communication unit 11 is electrically connected to the handset communication unit 22 of the interphone handset 2 via the transmission path 4. Base unit communication unit 11 includes a reception unit 111. The reception unit 111 receives the image signal transmitted from the transmission unit 221 of the intercom slave device 2. Furthermore, the base unit communication unit 11 is bidirectional with the interphone slave unit 2 (slave unit communication unit 22) so that audio signals and control signals can be transmitted bidirectionally with the interphone base unit 1. It is configured to be able to communicate.
 表示部12は、画像信号に基づいて画像を表示する。表示部12は、例えば液晶ディスプレイである。また、インターホン親機1がタッチパネルを備えている場合には、タッチパネルディスプレイが表示部12と操作部15とを兼ねることになる。 Display unit 12 displays an image based on the image signal. The display unit 12 is a liquid crystal display, for example. Further, when the intercom base unit 1 includes a touch panel, the touch panel display serves as both the display unit 12 and the operation unit 15.
 画像処理部14は、受信部111から出力される画像信号を受けて、画像処理を行う。表示部12には、画像処理部14から出力される画像(画像信号)が入力される。そのため、表示部12は、受信部111が受信した状態の画像信号に基づく画像ではなく、画像処理部14で画像処理が施された画像信号に基づく画像を表示することになる。画像処理部14は、例えばDSP又はFPGA等で実現される。 The image processing unit 14 receives the image signal output from the receiving unit 111 and performs image processing. An image (image signal) output from the image processing unit 14 is input to the display unit 12. Therefore, the display unit 12 displays an image based on the image signal that has been subjected to image processing by the image processing unit 14 instead of an image based on the image signal received by the receiving unit 111. The image processing unit 14 is realized by a DSP or FPGA, for example.
 操作部15は、住戸内の居住者の操作を受け付ける。親機通信部11が、居住者を呼び出すための制御信号(呼出信号)をインターホン子機2から受信している状態で、操作部15に対して所定の操作(例えば押操作)がされると、インターホン親機1とインターホン子機2との間で通話可能な状態となる。 The operation unit 15 receives an operation of a resident in the dwelling unit. When the base unit communication unit 11 receives a control signal (calling signal) for calling a resident from the intercom handset 2, a predetermined operation (for example, a push operation) is performed on the operation unit 15. The interphone master unit 1 and the interphone slave unit 2 are ready to talk.
 親機制御部13は、インターホン親機1の各構成要素を制御する。親機制御部13は、例えばCPU及びメモリを主構成とするマイクロコンピュータで構成されており、CPUがメモリに格納されているプログラムを実行することにより、マイクロコンピュータが親機制御部13として機能する。CPUが実行するプログラムは、ここではマイクロコンピュータのメモリに予め記録されているが、メモリカード等の非一時的な記録媒体に記録されて提供されてもよいし、電気通信回線を通じて提供されてもよい。 The base unit control unit 13 controls each component of the intercom base unit 1. The base unit control unit 13 is composed of, for example, a microcomputer mainly composed of a CPU and a memory, and the microcomputer functions as the base unit control unit 13 when the CPU executes a program stored in the memory. . Here, the program executed by the CPU is recorded in advance in the memory of the microcomputer, but may be provided by being recorded on a non-temporary recording medium such as a memory card or provided through an electric communication line. Good.
 図2は、本実施形態のインターホン子機2の設置例を示す概略図である。集合住宅の共用スペース5には、図2に示すように、上下方向(鉛直方向)に長い直方体状に形成された取付台3が設けられている。取付台3は、インターホン子機2が取り付けられる取付面31を有している。取付面31は、図2に示すように、地面と平行な水平面に対して傾斜しており、その傾斜角度はθ2である。そのため、インターホン子機2を取付台3の取付面31に取り付けた状態では、インターホン子機2(筐体20)も、上記水平面に対して傾斜角度θ2で傾斜することになる。 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an installation example of the intercom slave device 2 of the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the common space 5 of the apartment house is provided with a mounting base 3 formed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape that is long in the vertical direction (vertical direction). The mounting base 3 has a mounting surface 31 to which the interphone slave unit 2 is mounted. As shown in FIG. 2, the attachment surface 31 is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane parallel to the ground, and the inclination angle is θ2. Therefore, in a state where the interphone slave unit 2 is attached to the attachment surface 31 of the mount 3, the interphone slave unit 2 (housing 20) is also inclined at the inclination angle θ2 with respect to the horizontal plane.
 インターホン子機2が取付台3に取り付けられた状態では、撮像素子211の中心軸P2は、取付面31の法線方向と平行になっている。また、本実施形態では、撮像素子211とレンズ212とを含む撮像部21の光軸P1の方向が水平方向となるように、左右方向(図2の紙面に垂直な方向)と直交する平面において撮像素子211に対してレンズ212を時計回りに回転させている。したがって、本実施形態では、撮像部21の光軸P1と撮像素子211の中心軸P2とが一致していない。 In the state where the intercom handset 2 is attached to the mount 3, the center axis P <b> 2 of the image sensor 211 is parallel to the normal direction of the attachment surface 31. Further, in the present embodiment, in a plane orthogonal to the left-right direction (direction perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 2) so that the direction of the optical axis P1 of the imaging unit 21 including the imaging element 211 and the lens 212 is the horizontal direction. The lens 212 is rotated clockwise with respect to the image sensor 211. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the optical axis P1 of the imaging unit 21 and the central axis P2 of the imaging element 211 do not match.
 また、本実施形態では、レンズ212が魚眼レンズであることから、左右方向と直交する平面における撮像部21の視野角はθ1となる(図2参照)。ここで、撮像部21の光軸P1の方向が水平方向となるように、レンズ212を傾斜(回転)させているため、インターホン子機2の筐体20の一部が撮像部21の撮像エリアに含まれるように、撮像部21の視野角θ1が設定されている。 Further, in this embodiment, since the lens 212 is a fisheye lens, the viewing angle of the imaging unit 21 in a plane orthogonal to the left-right direction is θ1 (see FIG. 2). Here, since the lens 212 is tilted (rotated) so that the direction of the optical axis P1 of the imaging unit 21 is the horizontal direction, a part of the housing 20 of the intercom slave unit 2 is in the imaging area of the imaging unit 21. The viewing angle θ1 of the imaging unit 21 is set so as to be included in FIG.
 図3A及び図3Bは、比較例1に係るインターホン親機1の表示部12に表示される画像121の概略図である。本実施形態では、上述のように、撮像部21のレンズ212は魚眼レンズである。そのため、撮像部21により撮像した画像121では、図3Aに示すように、中心部が膨らむように歪む、いわゆる樽型の歪曲収差(distortion)が生じる。 3A and 3B are schematic diagrams of an image 121 displayed on the display unit 12 of the intercom master device 1 according to the comparative example 1. FIG. In the present embodiment, as described above, the lens 212 of the imaging unit 21 is a fisheye lens. Therefore, in the image 121 imaged by the imaging unit 21, so-called barrel-shaped distortion, which is distorted so that the center part swells, occurs as shown in FIG. 3A.
 来訪者100Aは、図3Aに示すように、画像121の中央に位置しているため、歪みが少ない。一方、来訪者100Bは、画像121の左側に位置しているため、外向き(左向き)に湾曲している。来訪者100Aの後方には、2枚の扉200A,200Bを有する自動ドア200が位置している。2枚の扉200A,200Bの各々では、上側の境界線201,201が外向き(上向き)に湾曲している。また、一方(図3Aにおける左側)の扉200Aの左側の境界線202、及び他方の扉200Bの右側の境界線202についても、外向き(左向き又は右向き)に湾曲している。さらに、図3Aに示す例では、画像121の下部にインターホン子機2の筐体20の一部が写り込んでいる。 Since the visitor 100A is located at the center of the image 121 as shown in FIG. 3A, there is little distortion. On the other hand, since the visitor 100B is located on the left side of the image 121, it is curved outward (leftward). An automatic door 200 having two doors 200A and 200B is located behind the visitor 100A. In each of the two doors 200A and 200B, the upper boundary lines 201 and 201 are curved outward (upward). Further, the left boundary line 202 of the one door 200A (left side in FIG. 3A) and the right boundary line 202 of the other door 200B are also curved outward (leftward or rightward). Furthermore, in the example shown in FIG. 3A, a part of the housing 20 of the intercom slave device 2 is reflected in the lower part of the image 121.
 画像補正部23が、画像121に対して水平方向(画像121の左右方向)のみに歪み補正を行った場合(図3A中の矢印参照)、図3Bに示すように、画像121の歪みが補正される。ここで、水平方向の歪み補正とは、画像121内において鉛直方向(上下方向)に伸びる線の歪みが低減されるように、水平方向に引き延ばす補正のことをいう。この場合、画像121の左側に位置する来訪者100Bの歪みが低減され、かつ2枚の扉200A,200Bの各々の左側又は右側の境界線202の歪みが低減される。なお、この場合には、2枚の扉200A,200Bの上側の境界線201の歪みは残ったままであり、かつ筐体20の写り込みもそのままである。 When the image correction unit 23 performs distortion correction only in the horizontal direction (left and right direction of the image 121) with respect to the image 121 (see arrows in FIG. 3A), the distortion of the image 121 is corrected as illustrated in FIG. 3B. Is done. Here, horizontal distortion correction refers to correction that extends in the horizontal direction so that distortion of a line extending in the vertical direction (vertical direction) in the image 121 is reduced. In this case, the distortion of the visitor 100B located on the left side of the image 121 is reduced, and the distortion of the left or right boundary line 202 of each of the two doors 200A and 200B is reduced. In this case, the distortion of the boundary line 201 on the upper side of the two doors 200A and 200B remains, and the reflection of the housing 20 remains as it is.
 図4A及び図4Bは、比較例2に係るインターホン親機1の表示部12に表示される画像121の概略図である。なお、図4Aは、上述の図3Aと同様であり、ここでは図4Aについては説明を省略する。 4A and 4B are schematic diagrams of an image 121 displayed on the display unit 12 of the intercom master device 1 according to the comparative example 2. FIG. 4A is the same as FIG. 3A described above, and the description of FIG. 4A is omitted here.
 画像補正部23が、画像121に対して水平方向(画像121の左右方向)及び鉛直方向(画像121の上下方向)に歪み補正(2次元方向歪み補正)を行った場合(図4A中の矢印参照)、図4Bに示すように、画像121の歪みが補正される。ここで、2次元方向歪み補正とは、画像121内において鉛直方向に伸びる線と水平方向に伸びる線との歪みが低減されるように、鉛直方向及び水平方向に引き延ばす補正のことをいう。この場合、2枚の扉200A,200Bの各々における上側の境界線201及び左側又は右側の境界線202の歪みが低減され、かつインターホン子機2の筐体20の写り込みがなくなる。ただし、この場合には、画像121の左側に位置する来訪者100Bについて、水平方向の歪みは低減されるが、鉛直方向の歪み補正によって鉛直方向に引き延ばされてしまう。その結果、来訪者100Bと来訪者100Bの後方に位置する自動ドア200との遠近感が誇張されるため、不自然な画像になる。 When the image correction unit 23 performs distortion correction (two-dimensional distortion correction) in the horizontal direction (left-right direction of the image 121) and the vertical direction (up-down direction of the image 121) with respect to the image 121 (arrow in FIG. 4A) As shown in FIG. 4B, the distortion of the image 121 is corrected. Here, the two-dimensional distortion correction refers to correction that extends in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction so that distortion between a line extending in the vertical direction and a line extending in the horizontal direction in the image 121 is reduced. In this case, the distortion of the upper boundary line 201 and the left or right boundary line 202 in each of the two doors 200A and 200B is reduced, and the reflection of the casing 20 of the intercom handset 2 is eliminated. However, in this case, for the visitor 100B located on the left side of the image 121, the horizontal distortion is reduced, but it is extended in the vertical direction by the vertical distortion correction. As a result, the perspective between the visitor 100B and the automatic door 200 located behind the visitor 100B is exaggerated, resulting in an unnatural image.
 上述のように、画像121の全体に対して水平方向のみに歪み補正を行ったり、水平方向及び鉛直方向に歪み補正(2次元方向歪み補正)を行った場合には、インターホン子機2の筐体20の一部が画像121内に写り込んだり、不自然な画像になってしまう。すなわち、画像121の全体に対して同じ歪み補正を行った場合には、画像歪みの低減と視覚的な違和感の低減とを両立することができない可能性がある。 As described above, when distortion correction is performed on the entire image 121 only in the horizontal direction, or when distortion correction (two-dimensional distortion correction) is performed in the horizontal and vertical directions, the housing of the interphone slave unit 2 is used. A part of the body 20 is reflected in the image 121 or becomes an unnatural image. That is, when the same distortion correction is performed on the entire image 121, it may not be possible to achieve both reduction in image distortion and reduction in visual discomfort.
 そこで、本実施形態の画像補正部23は、図5A及び図5Bに示すように、画像121を複数(図示例では2つ)の領域(第1領域1211及び第2領域1212)に分割し、複数の領域の各々に対して互いに異なる歪み補正を行うように構成されている。以下、本実施形態の画像補正部23の歪み補正処理について、図5A及び図5Bを参照して具体的に説明する。 Therefore, the image correction unit 23 according to the present embodiment divides the image 121 into a plurality of regions (two in the illustrated example) (first region 1211 and second region 1212), as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B. Different distortion corrections are performed on each of the plurality of regions. Hereinafter, the distortion correction processing of the image correction unit 23 of the present embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B.
 図5Aは、上述の図3A及び図4Aと同様に、撮像部21によって撮像された画像121の概略図である。本実施形態の画像補正部23は、図5Aに示すように、画像121の上下方向における中心線L1により画像121の領域を上下方向に2分割(2等分)している。中心線L1よりも上側(一方)の領域は第1領域1211であり、中心線L1よりも下側(他方)の領域は第2領域1212である。本実施形態では、中心線L1は、撮像部21の撮像素子211の中心軸P2(図2参照)と交わるように設定されている。 FIG. 5A is a schematic diagram of an image 121 imaged by the imaging unit 21 as in FIGS. 3A and 4A described above. As shown in FIG. 5A, the image correction unit 23 of the present embodiment divides the region of the image 121 into two in the vertical direction (divided into two equal parts) by the center line L1 in the vertical direction of the image 121. The region above (one side) the center line L1 is the first region 1211, and the region below (the other side) the center line L1 is the second region 1212. In the present embodiment, the center line L1 is set so as to intersect with the center axis P2 (see FIG. 2) of the image pickup device 211 of the image pickup unit 21.
 画像補正部23は、図5Aに示すように、記憶部26に予め記録された第1歪み補正パターン、第2歪み補正パターン及び第3歪み補正パターンの中から、第1歪み補正パターンを選択し、第1領域1211に対して歪み補正を行う。すなわち、画像補正部23は、第1領域1211に対しては、水平方向(画像121の左右方向)の歪みを補正する第1歪み補正を行う。これにより、第1領域1211では、画像121の左側に位置する来訪者100Bの歪みが低減され、かつ2枚の扉200A,200Bの各々の左側又は右側の境界線202の歪みが低減される(図5B参照)。一方、2枚の扉200A,200Bの上側の境界線201については歪みが残っている。 As shown in FIG. 5A, the image correction unit 23 selects the first distortion correction pattern from the first distortion correction pattern, the second distortion correction pattern, and the third distortion correction pattern recorded in advance in the storage unit 26. Then, distortion correction is performed on the first region 1211. That is, the image correction unit 23 performs first distortion correction on the first region 1211 to correct distortion in the horizontal direction (the left-right direction of the image 121). Thereby, in the first region 1211, the distortion of the visitor 100B located on the left side of the image 121 is reduced, and the distortion of the left or right boundary line 202 of each of the two doors 200A and 200B is reduced ( (See FIG. 5B). On the other hand, distortion remains in the upper boundary line 201 of the two doors 200A and 200B.
 画像補正部23は、第2領域1212に対しては第2歪み補正パターンを選択する。すなわち、画像補正部23は、第2領域1212に対しては、水平方向及び鉛直方向(画像121の上下方向)の歪みを補正する第2歪み補正を行う。これにより、第2領域1212では、来訪者100Bの歪みが低減され、かつ2枚の扉200A,200Bの各々の左側又は右側の境界線202の歪みが低減される。さらに、第2領域1212については、鉛直方向の歪みも補正することで筐体20の写り込みもなくなる(図5B参照)。 The image correction unit 23 selects the second distortion correction pattern for the second region 1212. That is, the image correction unit 23 performs second distortion correction on the second region 1212 to correct distortion in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction (up and down direction of the image 121). As a result, in the second region 1212, the distortion of the visitor 100B is reduced, and the distortion of the left or right boundary line 202 of each of the two doors 200A, 200B is reduced. Further, the second region 1212 also eliminates the reflection of the housing 20 by correcting the vertical distortion (see FIG. 5B).
 上述のように、画像121の領域を第1領域1211及び第2領域1212に分割し、第1領域1211に対して第1歪み補正を行い、第2領域1212に対して第2歪み補正を行うことにより、画像歪みの低減と視覚的な違和感の低減とを両立することができる。 As described above, the region of the image 121 is divided into the first region 1211 and the second region 1212, the first distortion correction is performed on the first region 1211, and the second distortion correction is performed on the second region 1212. As a result, it is possible to achieve both reduction in image distortion and reduction in visual discomfort.
 ところで、上述の実施形態では、画像補正部23は、画像121の領域を2つの領域(第1領域1211及び第2領域1212)に分割したが、画像121の分割数は2つに限らない。本実施形態のインターホン子機2は、上述のように、地面と平行な水平面に対して傾斜して取り付けられるため、取付面31の傾斜角度θ2に応じて、画像121における来訪者100A,100B及び自動ドア200の位置が変化する。そのため、画像補正部23は、取付面31の傾斜角度θ2に応じて画像121の分割数を変更するように構成されていることが好ましい。なお、取付面31の傾斜角度θ2は、上述の操作部25を介して入力することができる。以下、本実施形態の変形例1について図6A~図6Cを参照して具体的に説明する。 In the above-described embodiment, the image correction unit 23 divides the area of the image 121 into two areas (the first area 1211 and the second area 1212), but the number of divisions of the image 121 is not limited to two. As described above, the interphone slave unit 2 according to the present embodiment is attached to be inclined with respect to a horizontal plane parallel to the ground. Therefore, depending on the inclination angle θ2 of the attachment surface 31, the visitors 100A and 100B in the image 121 and The position of the automatic door 200 changes. Therefore, it is preferable that the image correction unit 23 is configured to change the number of divisions of the image 121 according to the inclination angle θ <b> 2 of the attachment surface 31. The inclination angle θ2 of the attachment surface 31 can be input via the operation unit 25 described above. Hereinafter, Modification 1 of the present embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 6A to 6C.
 画像補正部23は、図6Aに示すように、取付面31の傾斜角度θ2に応じて複数(図示例では4つ)の領域(第1領域1211、第2領域1212、第3領域1213及び第4領域1214)に分割し、複数の領域の各々に対して互いに異なる歪み補正を行う。なお、図6A中のPL1、PL2、PL3は分割線である。 As shown in FIG. 6A, the image correction unit 23 includes a plurality of (four in the illustrated example) regions (first region 1211, second region 1212, third region 1213, and first region) according to the inclination angle θ 2 of the mounting surface 31. 4 regions 1214), and different distortion correction is performed on each of the plurality of regions. In FIG. 6A, PL1, PL2, and PL3 are dividing lines.
 例えば、取付面31の傾斜角度θ2が30度の場合、画像補正部23は、図6Bに示すように、2つの分割線PL1、PL2によって画像121を第1領域1211、第2領域1212及び第3領域1213に分割する。この場合、画像補正部23は、来訪者100の顔が含まれていると想定される第1領域1211に対しては、水平方向(画像121の左右方向)の歪みを補正する第1歪み補正を行う。また、画像補正部23は、第1領域1211と第3領域1213との間の第2領域1212に対しては、水平方向及び鉛直方向(画像121の上下方向)の歪みを補正する第2歪み補正(2次元方向歪み補正)を行う。さらに、画像補正部23は、インターホン子機2の筐体20の写り込みが生じている第3領域1213に対しては、水平方向及び鉛直方向の歪みを補正する第3歪み補正を行う。このとき、画像補正部23は、第3歪み補正において、筐体20が第3領域1213に写り込まないように、第2歪み補正に比べて鉛直方向の補正強度を強くすることが好ましい。 For example, when the inclination angle θ2 of the mounting surface 31 is 30 degrees, the image correction unit 23 converts the image 121 into the first region 1211, the second region 1212, and the second region by two dividing lines PL1 and PL2, as shown in FIG. 6B. The area is divided into three areas 1213. In this case, the image correction unit 23 corrects the distortion in the horizontal direction (the left-right direction of the image 121) for the first region 1211 that is assumed to include the face of the visitor 100. I do. In addition, the image correction unit 23 corrects the distortion in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction (the vertical direction of the image 121) for the second area 1212 between the first area 1211 and the third area 1213. Correction (two-dimensional distortion correction) is performed. Further, the image correction unit 23 performs third distortion correction for correcting the distortion in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction for the third region 1213 in which the housing 20 of the intercom slave device 2 is reflected. At this time, the image correction unit 23 preferably increases the correction strength in the vertical direction compared to the second distortion correction so that the housing 20 does not appear in the third region 1213 in the third distortion correction.
 また、取付面31の傾斜角度θ2が45度の場合には、画像補正部23は、図6Cに示すように、1つの分割線PL1によって画像121を第1領域1211及び第2領域1212に分割する。この場合、画像補正部23は、来訪者100の顔が含まれていると想定される第1領域1211に対しては、水平方向の歪みを補正する第1歪み補正を行う。また、画像補正部23は、インターホン子機2の筐体20の写り込みが生じている第2領域1212に対しては、水平方向及び鉛直方向の歪みを補正する第2歪み補正を行う。ここで、取付面31の傾斜角度が大きくなるに従って筐体20の写り込み量は小さくなるため、画像補正部23は、取付面31の傾斜角度θ2が30度の場合に比べて鉛直方向の補正強度を弱くすることが好ましい。 When the inclination angle θ2 of the mounting surface 31 is 45 degrees, the image correction unit 23 divides the image 121 into a first area 1211 and a second area 1212 by one dividing line PL1, as shown in FIG. 6C. To do. In this case, the image correction unit 23 performs the first distortion correction for correcting the distortion in the horizontal direction for the first region 1211 that is assumed to include the face of the visitor 100. In addition, the image correction unit 23 performs second distortion correction for correcting distortion in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction for the second region 1212 in which the housing 20 of the intercom slave device 2 is reflected. Here, since the amount of reflection of the housing 20 decreases as the inclination angle of the attachment surface 31 increases, the image correction unit 23 corrects the vertical direction as compared with the case where the inclination angle θ2 of the attachment surface 31 is 30 degrees. It is preferable to reduce the strength.
 上述のように、取付面31の傾斜角度θ2に応じて画像121の分割数(複数の領域の分割数)を変更することにより、取付面31の傾斜角度θ2に応じた歪み補正を行うことができる。 As described above, the distortion correction according to the inclination angle θ2 of the attachment surface 31 can be performed by changing the number of divisions of the image 121 (the number of divisions of the plurality of regions) according to the inclination angle θ2 of the attachment surface 31. it can.
 ところで、上述の変形例1では、インターホン子機2が取り付けられる取付面31の傾斜角度θ2に応じて画像121の分割数を変更したが、例えば撮像素子211に対するレンズ212の傾斜角度α1に応じて画像121の分割数を変更してもよい。以下、本実施形態の変形例2について図6B、図6C及び図7を参照して具体的に説明する。 In the first modification, the number of divisions of the image 121 is changed in accordance with the inclination angle θ2 of the mounting surface 31 to which the interphone slave unit 2 is attached. The number of divisions of the image 121 may be changed. Hereinafter, Modification 2 of the present embodiment will be specifically described with reference to FIGS. 6B, 6 </ b> C, and 7.
 図7は、本実施形態の変形例2に係るインターホン子機2の設置例を示す概略図である。インターホン子機2は、上述のように、撮像素子211に対してレンズ212が傾斜可能に構成されている。撮像素子211の中心軸P2(図2参照)とレンズ212の中心軸とが一致する場合、撮像部21の光軸P1はP11となる。撮像素子211に対するレンズ212の傾斜角度α1をα11とした場合、撮像部21の光軸P1はP12となる。また、撮像素子211に対するレンズ212の傾斜角度α1をα12(α12>α11)とした場合、撮像部21の光軸P1はP13となる。 FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating an installation example of the intercom slave device 2 according to the second modification of the present embodiment. As described above, the intercom handset 2 is configured such that the lens 212 can be tilted with respect to the image sensor 211. When the central axis P2 (see FIG. 2) of the image sensor 211 and the central axis of the lens 212 coincide, the optical axis P1 of the imaging unit 21 is P11. When the inclination angle α1 of the lens 212 with respect to the imaging element 211 is α11, the optical axis P1 of the imaging unit 21 is P12. In addition, when the inclination angle α1 of the lens 212 with respect to the imaging element 211 is α12 (α12> α11), the optical axis P1 of the imaging unit 21 is P13.
 例えば、レンズ212の傾斜角度α1がα11の場合には、画像補正部23は、図6Cに示すように、1つの分割線PL1によって画像121を第1領域1211及び第2領域1212に分割する。この場合、画像補正部23は、来訪者100の顔が含まれていると想定される第1領域1211に対しては、水平方向の歪みを補正する第1歪み補正を行う。また、画像補正部23は、インターホン子機2の筐体20の写り込みが生じている第2領域1212に対しては、水平方向及び鉛直方向の歪みを補正する第2歪み補正を行う。 For example, when the inclination angle α1 of the lens 212 is α11, the image correction unit 23 divides the image 121 into the first region 1211 and the second region 1212 by one dividing line PL1, as shown in FIG. 6C. In this case, the image correction unit 23 performs the first distortion correction for correcting the distortion in the horizontal direction for the first region 1211 that is assumed to include the face of the visitor 100. In addition, the image correction unit 23 performs second distortion correction for correcting distortion in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction for the second region 1212 in which the housing 20 of the intercom slave device 2 is reflected.
 また、レンズ212の傾斜角度α1がα12(α12>α11)の場合には、画像補正部23は、図6Bに示すように、2つの分割線PL1、PL2によって第1領域1211、第2領域1212及び第3領域1213に分割する。この場合、画像補正部23は、来訪者100の顔が含まれていると想定される第1領域1211に対しては、水平方向の歪みを補正する第1歪み補正を行う。また、画像補正部23は、第1領域1211と第3領域1213との間の第2領域1212に対しては、水平方向及び鉛直方向の歪みを補正する第2歪み補正(2次元方向歪み補正)を行う。さらに、画像補正部23は、インターホン子機2の筐体20の写り込みが生じている第3領域1213に対しては、水平方向及び鉛直方向の歪みを補正する第3歪み補正を行う。このとき、画像補正部23は、第3歪み補正において、筐体20が第3領域1213に写り込まないように、第2歪み補正に比べて鉛直方向の補正強度を強くすることが好ましい。 When the inclination angle α1 of the lens 212 is α12 (α12> α11), the image correction unit 23, as shown in FIG. 6B, uses the first dividing area PL1 and the second dividing line PL2, and the second area 1212. And it divides into the 3rd field 1213. In this case, the image correction unit 23 performs the first distortion correction for correcting the distortion in the horizontal direction for the first region 1211 that is assumed to include the face of the visitor 100. In addition, the image correction unit 23 performs second distortion correction (two-dimensional distortion correction) on the second area 1212 between the first area 1211 and the third area 1213 to correct horizontal and vertical distortion. )I do. Further, the image correction unit 23 performs third distortion correction for correcting the distortion in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction for the third region 1213 in which the housing 20 of the intercom slave device 2 is reflected. At this time, the image correction unit 23 preferably increases the correction strength in the vertical direction compared to the second distortion correction so that the housing 20 does not appear in the third region 1213 in the third distortion correction.
 上述のように、撮像素子211に対するレンズ212の傾斜角度α1に応じて画像121の分割数(複数の領域の分割数)を変更することにより、レンズ212の傾斜角度α1に応じた歪み補正を行うことができる。 As described above, the distortion correction corresponding to the inclination angle α1 of the lens 212 is performed by changing the number of divisions of the image 121 (the number of divisions of the plurality of regions) according to the inclination angle α1 of the lens 212 with respect to the imaging element 211. be able to.
 ところで、上述の実施形態及び変形例1,2のように、画像補正部23がDSP又はFPGAを主構成とする場合、プログラムによって、画像補正部23の機能を実現可能である。すなわち、本実施形態に係るプログラムは、コンピュータを、インターホンシステム10における画像補正部23として機能させるためのプログラムである。このプログラムによれば、コンピュータを画像補正部23として機能させることで、画像121の画像歪みを低減し、かつ視覚的な違和感を低減することができる。 By the way, when the image correction unit 23 has a DSP or FPGA as the main configuration as in the above-described embodiment and Modifications 1 and 2, the function of the image correction unit 23 can be realized by a program. That is, the program according to the present embodiment is a program for causing a computer to function as the image correction unit 23 in the intercom system 10. According to this program, by causing the computer to function as the image correction unit 23, it is possible to reduce image distortion of the image 121 and to reduce visual discomfort.

However, the interphone slave unit 2 is, for example, a door phone slave unit or the like installed in each dwelling unit of a housing complex. There may be. In addition, the intercom base unit 1 is not limited to the indoor base unit installed in the dwelling unit of the apartment house, and may be a management room base unit installed in a manager room of the apartment house, for example.
 また、上述の実施形態及び変形例1,2では、インターホンシステム10を集合住宅に適用した場合を例として説明したが、インターホンシステム10の適用対象は集合住宅に限らず、戸建て住宅であってもよい。この場合、インターホン親機1は、住宅内に設置される室内親機であり、インターホン子機2は、住宅の外玄関に設置されるドアホン子機である。また、インターホンシステム10の適用対象は住宅に限らず、ビル又は工場等の非住宅であってもよい。 Moreover, although the case where the interphone system 10 was applied to an apartment house was described as an example in the above-described embodiment and Modifications 1 and 2, the application target of the interphone system 10 is not limited to an apartment house, and may be a detached house.

In this case, the image correction unit 23 may be configured to divide a part of the image 121 that is a distortion correction target into a plurality of areas and perform different distortion corrections on each of the plurality of areas. .
 さらに、上述の実施形態及び変形例1,2では、画像121を2分割する際に中心線L1によって2等分したが、中心線L1とは異なる分割線によって2分割してもよい。すなわち、上記分割線よりも上側の領域である第1領域と、上記分割線よりも下側の領域である第2領域とが異なる大きさであってもよい。また、画像121を3つ以上に分割した場合も同様であり、各領域を均等に分割してもよいし、均等に分割していなくてもよい。 Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment and Modifications 1 and 2, when the image 121 is divided into two equal parts by the center line L1, it may be divided into two parts by a dividing line different from the center line L1. That is, the first area, which is an area above the dividing line, and the second area, which is an area below the dividing line, may have different sizes. The same applies to the case where the image 121 is divided into three or more, and each region may be divided equally or may not be divided equally.
 また、上述の実施形態及び変形例1,2では、画像121において中心線L1よりも上側の領域が第1領域1211であり、下側の領域が第2領域1212であるが、第1領域1211と第2領域1212とが逆であってもよい。すなわち、画像121において中心線L1よりも上側の領域が第2領域1212であり、下側の領域が第1領域1211であってもよい。この構成によれば、例えば撮像部21の光軸P1が上向きに設定されており、筐体20の上側の一部が画像121に写り込むような場合に、筐体20が画像121に写り込まないようにすることができる。 In the above-described embodiment and Modifications 1 and 2, the region above the center line L1 in the image 121 is the first region 1211 and the region below the second region 1212 is the first region 1211. And the second region 1212 may be reversed. In other words, the area above the center line L1 in the image 121 may be the second area 1212, and the area below the first line 1211 may be the first area 1211. According to this configuration, for example, when the optical axis P <b> 1 of the imaging unit 21 is set upward and a part of the upper side of the casing 20 is reflected in the image 121, the casing 20 is reflected in the image 121. Can not be.

On the other hand, for example, the tilt angle α1 of the lens 212 may be automatically input by the function of tilting the lens 212 automatically. Moreover, when the intercom handset 2 is attached to the mount 3, the inclination angle θ2 of the attachment surface 31 may be automatically measured.

However, even if the interphone master unit 1 includes the image correction unit. Good.
 また、上述の実施形態及び変形例1,2では、インターホン親機1が表示部12を有している場合を例として説明した。これに対して、インターホン親機1とともに住戸内に設置される室内子機が表示部を有していてもよいし、スマートフォンやタブレット端末などの汎用の携帯情報端末(PDA:Personal Digital Assistant)が表示部を有していてもよい。 In the above-described embodiment and Modifications 1 and 2, the case where the intercom base unit 1 has the display unit 12 has been described as an example. On the other hand, the indoor cordless handset installed in the dwelling unit together with the interphone master unit 1 may have a display unit, or a general-purpose portable information terminal (PDA: Personal Digital Assistant) such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal. You may have a display part.
 また、上述の実施形態及び変形例1,2では、撮像素子211に対してレンズ212が傾斜可能に構成されている場合を例として説明したが、撮像素子211及びレンズ212が一体に回転可能に構成されていてもよい。この場合、画像補正部23は、歪み補正処理において、撮像素子211及びレンズ212の傾斜角度に応じて、複数の領域の分割数を変更するように構成されていることが好ましい。また、画像補正部23は、歪み補正処理において、複数の領域の各々に対して行う歪み補正を、撮像素子211及びレンズ212の傾斜角度に応じて、第1歪み補正と第2歪み補正と第3歪み補正との中から選択して行うように構成されていてもよい。第1歪み補正は、画像の左右方向の歪みを補正する補正である。第2歪み補正は、画像の左右方向及び上下方向の歪みを補正する補正である。第3歪み補正は、第2歪み補正とは異なる補正強度で画像の左右方向及び上下方向の歪みを補正する補正である。 In the above-described embodiment and Modifications 1 and 2, the case where the lens 212 is configured to be tiltable with respect to the image sensor 211 has been described as an example. However, the image sensor 211 and the lens 212 can be rotated together. It may be configured. In this case, it is preferable that the image correction unit 23 is configured to change the number of divisions of the plurality of regions in accordance with the inclination angles of the imaging element 211 and the lens 212 in the distortion correction processing. In addition, the image correction unit 23 performs distortion correction performed on each of the plurality of regions in the distortion correction processing in accordance with the first distortion correction, the second distortion correction, and the first distortion correction according to the inclination angles of the imaging element 211 and the lens 212.

The second distortion correction is correction for correcting distortion in the horizontal direction and vertical direction of the image. The third distortion correction is correction for correcting distortion in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction of the image with a correction intensity different from that of the second distortion correction.
 以上述べた実施形態から明らかなように、第1の態様のインターホンシステム(10)は、インターホン親機(1)及びインターホン子機(2)が互いに通信可能に構成されたインターホンシステムである。インターホンシステム(10)は、インターホン子機(2)の撮像部(21)で撮像した画像の歪みを補正する歪み補正処理を行う画像補正部(23)を備える。画像補正部(23)は、歪み補正処理において、画像における歪み補正の対象となる領域を複数の領域に分割し、複数の領域の各々に対して互いに異なる歪み補正を行うように構成されている。 As is clear from the embodiment described above, the interphone system (10) of the first aspect is an interphone system in which the interphone master unit (1) and the interphone slave unit (2) are configured to be able to communicate with each other. The intercom system (10) includes an image correction unit (23) that performs distortion correction processing for correcting distortion of an image captured by the imaging unit (21) of the interphone slave unit (2). The image correction unit (23) is configured to divide a region for distortion correction in an image into a plurality of regions and perform different distortion correction on each of the plurality of regions in the distortion correction processing. .
 第1の態様によれば、画像補正部(23)は、歪み補正の対象となる領域を複数の領域に分割し、複数の領域の各々に対して互いに異なる歪み補正を行うので、画像全体に同じ歪み補正を行う場合に比べて画像歪みを低減し、かつ視覚的な違和感を低減することができる。 According to the first aspect, the image correction unit (23) divides the region to be subjected to distortion correction into a plurality of regions and performs different distortion correction on each of the plurality of regions, so that the entire image is corrected. Image distortion can be reduced and visual discomfort can be reduced as compared to the case where the same distortion correction is performed.
 第2の態様に係るインターホンシステム(10)は、第1の態様において、画像補正部(23)により得られる補正後の画像、又は補正後の画像の画像信号に基づく画像を表示する表示部(12)を備える。 The intercom system (10) according to the second aspect is the display unit (10) that displays an image based on the image signal of the corrected image obtained by the image correction unit (23) or the image after correction in the first aspect. 12).
 第2の態様によれば、画像補正部(23)により補正した後の画像を表示部(12)に表示することができる。 According to the second aspect, the image corrected by the image correction unit (23) can be displayed on the display unit (12).
 第3の態様のインターホンシステム(10)では、第1又は2の態様において、画像補正部(23)は、複数の領域として、第1領域(1211)と第2領域(1212)とに分割するように構成されている。第1領域(1211)は、画像(121)を上下方向において2分割した一方の領域からなる。第2領域(1212)は、画像(121)を上下方向において2分割した他方の領域からなる。 In the intercom system (10) of the third aspect, in the first or second aspect, the image correction unit (23) divides the plurality of areas into a first area (1211) and a second area (1212). It is configured as follows. The first area (1211) is composed of one area obtained by dividing the image (121) into two in the vertical direction. The second area (1212) is composed of the other area obtained by dividing the image (121) into two in the vertical direction.
 第3の態様によれば、第1領域(1211)及び第2領域(1212)に対して互いに異なる歪み補正を行うことにより、画像の分割数を少なくしながらも、画像歪みを低減し、かつ視覚的な違和感を低減することができる。ただし、この構成はインターホンシステム(10)の必須の構成ではなく、例えば複数の領域として、3つ以上の領域に分割されていてもよい。 According to the third aspect, by performing different distortion correction on the first area (1211) and the second area (1212), the image distortion can be reduced while reducing the number of image divisions, and Visual discomfort can be reduced. However, this configuration is not an essential configuration of the intercom system (10), and may be divided into three or more regions as a plurality of regions, for example.
 第4の態様のインターホンシステム(10)では、第3の態様において、第1領域(1211)と第2領域(1212)とは、画像(121)の上下方向における中心線(L1)により2等分された2つの領域である。 In the intercom system (10) according to the fourth aspect, in the third aspect, the first area (1211) and the second area (1212) are equal to each other by the center line (L1) in the vertical direction of the image (121). It is two divided areas.
 第4の態様によれば、中心線(L1)によって2つの領域に2等分しているので、人物(来訪者)を撮像した場合には、一方の領域に来訪者の顔を含めることができる。そして、顔を含む一方の領域に対しては水平方向(画像(121)の左右方向)のみに歪み補正を行うことにより、来訪者の顔が不自然に変形することを低減することができる。ただし、この構成を採用するか否かは任意である。 According to the fourth aspect, since the area is equally divided into two areas by the center line (L1), when a person (visitor) is imaged, the face of the visitor may be included in one area. it can. Further, by performing distortion correction only in the horizontal direction (left and right direction of the image (121)) for one region including the face, it is possible to reduce the unnatural deformation of the visitor's face. However, whether or not to adopt this configuration is arbitrary.
 第5の態様のインターホンシステム(10)では、第3又は4の態様において、画像補正部(23)は、歪み補正処理において、第1歪み補正を第1領域(1211)に行い、第2歪み補正を第2領域(1212)に行うように構成されている。第1歪み補正では、画像(121)の左右方向の歪みを補正する。第2歪み補正では、画像(121)の左右方向及び上下方向の歪みを補正する。 In the intercom system (10) of the fifth aspect, in the third or fourth aspect, the image correction unit (23) performs the first distortion correction on the first region (1211) in the distortion correction processing, and the second distortion The correction is performed on the second region (1212). In the first distortion correction, the distortion in the horizontal direction of the image (121) is corrected. In the second distortion correction, distortion in the horizontal direction and vertical direction of the image (121) is corrected.
 第5の態様によれば、画像全体に第1歪み補正を行う場合に比べて筐体(20)の写り込みを低減することができ、画像全体に第2歪み補正を行う場合に比べて人物(来訪者)の顔が不自然に変形することを低減することができる。つまり、第4の態様によれば、画像全体に同じ歪み補正を行う場合に比べて、画像歪みを低減し、かつ視覚的な違和感を低減することができる。ただし、この構成を採用するか否かは任意である。 According to the fifth aspect, the reflection of the housing (20) can be reduced compared to the case where the first distortion correction is performed on the entire image, and the person is compared with the case where the second distortion correction is performed on the entire image. It is possible to reduce the unnatural deformation of the (visitor) face. That is, according to the fourth aspect, it is possible to reduce image distortion and to reduce visual discomfort compared to a case where the same distortion correction is performed on the entire image.
