Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a second frame used for reproducing and displaying each frame image on a first recording medium in which a plurality of photographed frame images are recorded by a display device. 2 relates to an image processing apparatus having recording means for recording on a recording medium.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in this type of film image processing system, an image photographed on a silver halide film is copied to a predetermined film material, the image copied on the film material is optically read, converted into a video signal and displayed. It is configured to play back on a display or the like serving as a means.

However, the widely used 35 mm silver halide film is set on the camera and transported in one direction.
Since the frame is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the frame, when the camera is changed to a vertical position and the camera is changed, the transport direction is the top and bottom direction on the film to be developed.

On the other hand, when photographing is performed in the horizontal position, the vertical direction facing the transport direction on the film to be developed is the vertical direction.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

Therefore, even when a frame image is copied on a film material, one frame image captured in the vertical position is also copied in a direction opposite to the top and bottom direction of the film material to be reproduced. For this reason, in order to display the image on the playback device, the image is displayed in a manner different from that at the time of shooting, that is, the image is displayed in a state where the top and bottom are in a horizontal direction, or the image is reproduced in a state where the upper and lower parts of one frame image are missing. In order to reproduce the image in the shooting state, there is a problem that a complicated pre-processing such as manually rotating the film material or adjusting the reproduction magnification and executing the display processing is required. .

According to the present invention, when each frame image recorded on the first recording medium is recorded on the second recording medium, the top-bottom direction of each frame image recorded on the first recording medium is identified and the second frame image is identified. By editing the frame images to be recorded on the recording medium, even if the top and bottom directions of each frame image on the first recording medium are not uniform, the top and bottom directions of each frame image are automatically recorded on the second recording medium. It is an object of the present invention to provide an image processing apparatus capable of efficiently editing and efficiently recording.

[Means for solving the problem]

The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus having a recording means for recording each frame image on a first recording medium on which a plurality of photographed frame images are recorded on a second recording medium used for reproduction and display by a display device. Wherein the recording means edits a frame image so that the top and bottom directions of each frame are matched based on the top and bottom direction information recorded on the first recording medium.

In addition, the recording means changes the recording magnification of the frame image of the first recording medium and records the image on the second recording medium when editing based on the information on the top and bottom directions recorded on the first recording medium. Is what you do.

Further, the recording means may change the aspect ratio of the frame image of the first recording medium with respect to the top and bottom when editing based on the information on the top and bottom directions recorded on the first recording medium. Is recorded on a recording medium.

[Action]

In this invention, the recording means edits the frame image based on the information on the top and bottom directions recorded on the first recording medium so that the top and bottom directions of each frame are matched. In this editing, the second recording is performed by changing the recording magnification of the frame image of the first recording medium or by changing the aspect ratio of the frame image of the first recording medium with respect to the top and bottom. It allows editing to be recorded on a medium.
