DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to images processing system to create a single image from the plurality of images having different imaging conditions.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are known image processing techniques such as creating an image with various photographing effects based on one image, and synthesizing an image by superimposing a plurality of images.

For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-44332 discloses a technique for printing an image read by a scanner or the like in printing. And Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-10
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 570 discloses a technique of outputting a plurality of images read by a scanner on a single image. There is also known a system in which information at the time of shooting is recorded on a film, and correction is performed based on the recorded information at the time of printing.

Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 62-121141 discloses a technique of recording trimming information on a film and performing trimming printing when printing. Further, Japanese Patent Application No. 4-202487 discloses a technique of recording a color temperature at the time of flash photography and performing correction printing at the time of printing.

[0005]

As described above, a technique for creating one image based on one or a plurality of images is already known. However, when actually creating one image, the creator who creates the image, not the photographer, must intentionally select the information. For example, in the case of flash photography, unnatural shades may occur with respect to the information actually seen by the photographer. It is difficult to judge automatically the shadow generated by the strobe. In addition, even when a plurality of images are used as a basis, the photographer needs to provide information regarding image creation, such as a photographer's instruction for a basic image. No action is taken.

Further, when an image similar to the image creation is obtained on the camera side, it is very difficult to determine the exposure and set the camera system, and it is often large. For example, in order to eliminate unnatural shadows during flash shooting, a small flash must be placed at an appropriate position, and in addition, the exposure conditions must be determined in consideration of the light intensity of the small flash. No. In addition, since the exposure condition is limited, there is a possibility that the aperture effect may be limited or camera shake may occur in a long time.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above problem, with a simple configuration, and aims to provide the images processing system that can of providing more photographer's intended print the photographer I do.

When the camera sequence is started, the main switch is determined (step S1). Here, if the main switch is "OFF", the present sequence is terminated, and if it is "ON", initialization is performed (step S2). In this initialization, registers SF (strobe mode: S mode) relating to the mode, H
F (correction mode: H mode), TF (special mode: T mode), and FLF (flash emission) are set to the initial state 0.

Next, after the mode is set by the mode switch (mode setting I) (step S3), the main switch is determined (step S4). Here, if the main switch is "OFF", the present sequence is terminated, and if it is "ON", the next release determination is performed (step S5). The first release is "OF

(-2 correction (HF = 01)). Furthermore,
The special mode (T mode) is “slow” (corresponding to panning of slow shooting (TF = 10)) and “zoom between exposures”
(Corresponds to shooting in which the focal length is changed during exposure (TF = 0

Next, the shooting operation of the first image will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

When the subroutine "photographing sequence I" is started, first, the focal length of the photographing optical system is set to Ff (step S101). Next, the photographing mode (MD = 111) is determined (step S10).
2). Here, when MD = 111, the luminance data FE
Evp is set to v (step S103), and MD = 1
If it is not 11, Ev is set to the luminance data FEv (step S104).

Next, an exposure condition is set based on the luminance value FEv (step S105). Thereafter, the correction information is determined (steps S106 and S107). Where F
If H = 01, the luminance data is set to FEv = FEv-2 (step S108). If FH = 10, the luminance data is set to FEv = FEv + 2 (step S109).

Next, determination of flash emission (FS = 1)
Is performed (step S110). If FS = 1 is not satisfied, the process proceeds to step S112, and if FS = 0, a strobe light emission condition is set (a guide number is set based on distance measurement information and exposure information) (step S11).

On the other hand, when SH = 01, the brightness data is SEv = SE
v-2 is set (step S127). Next, determination of strobe light emission (FS = 1) is performed (step S1).
28). Here, if FS is not 1, step S13
0, and when FS = 0, the flash emission condition is set (the guide number is set from the distance measurement information and the exposure information).

Then, the shutter speed and the aperture value are set from the exposure information (step S130), and after the exposure sequence is performed (step S131), the present sequence ends. FIG. 17 shows information to be written on the film.

This information includes the total number of images (the number of releases), the shooting mode (the contents of the MD register), the order of the images (main: 1 or sub: 0), and the number of consecutive shots (first:
0, 2nd shot: 1), number of correspondences (first shot: 0, 2nd shot: 1) indicating the number of consecutive shots, shutter speed, aperture value, strobe ON / OFF, The information is written in the order of the focal length information of the imaging optical system and the luminance value. Although not shown, after the luminance value, the total number is returned again. Next, the operation of the image processing apparatus as the output unit will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG.

When the sequence of the output unit is started,
First, information on photographing is read from the film (step S141). Next, the shooting mode I is determined (step S142).

Here, when the photographing mode is I, one screen image A (10 bits of RGB three screens of Ar, Ag, Ab)
Is read (step S145).
On the other hand, when the shooting mode is not I, the related two screens A and B (a total of six screens 10 bits each for one GB surface).

Then, the centers of gravity g1 and g2 of the positive components G (AB) and G (BA) of the difference between the images A and B are detected (step S192). Next, an image S of only the moving object is created (from the center of gravity g1 to g2), and G (AB) is shifted and added (step S193).
