Description

  The present invention relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing program, and an image processing method.

  A template that defines a layout for reproducing a digital image on a drawing space such as a printing paper or a display is known. Specifically, the template includes, for example, information defining a reproduction area that is an area on the drawing space to which a digital image is allocated, information defining a reproduction area to which a character string is allocated, and digital that is reproduced as the background of the reproduction area Information for specifying an image (background image) is defined. Templates are prepared in advance according to themes such as New Year's cards, birthdays, Christmas, and travel, and the user can reproduce a digital image with a layout according to the purpose by selecting the template.

  In the conventional template, the aspect ratio of the reproduction area is fixed in advance. For this reason, when the aspect ratio of the digital image assigned to the reproduction area does not match the aspect ratio of the reproduction area, it is necessary to specify how the digital image is assigned to the reproduction area by some method. Patent Document 1 discloses an image processing apparatus that can specify in a template how to allocate when the aspect ratio of a digital image and the aspect ratio of a reproduction area do not match. In the program editing apparatus (image processing apparatus) described in Patent Literature 1, a method for assigning a digital image to a reproduction area is defined as a fitting rule, and any one of the fitting rules can be specified in a setting program (template). .

  However, according to the program editing apparatus of Patent Document 1, there is a problem that a part of a digital image is cut off during reproduction, or an area in which no image is allocated is generated in the reproduction area. Such a problem occurs when the aspect ratio of the digital image does not match the aspect ratio of the reproduction area. Therefore, it is desirable that the aspect ratio of the digital image matches the aspect ratio of the reproduction area.

When trimming is performed, a digital image having an arbitrary aspect ratio can be generated. In this case, if the user can select the trimming area on the digital image by operating the mouse, the user can freely select the trimming area (reproduced area) allocated to the reproduction area.
However, when the user selects the playback area by operating the mouse, it is not easy to select the playback area with an aspect ratio that matches the aspect ratio of the playback area.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and is an image processing apparatus and an image processing that make it easy to select a playback area having an aspect ratio equal to the aspect ratio of the playback area defined in the template. It is an object to provide a program and an image processing method.

According to this image processing apparatus, since a frame representing the shape of the playback area defined in the template is displayed on the digital image, a playback area having an aspect ratio equal to the aspect ratio of the playback area defined in the template is displayed. Easy to select.

  Further, in the image processing apparatus according to the present invention, the processing means includes information for specifying the digital image and playback area information for defining the playback area selected by the trimming setting means in the coordinate system of the digital image. The template is stored in the template in association with the reproduction area information, and the template after storage is output. According to this image processing apparatus, the playback area can be specified based on the output template. Therefore, on the side where the template and the digital image are distributed, the playback area is specified based on the template and assigned to the playback area for playback. can do. In this case, an untrimmed digital image is distributed, and the distributed side can reproduce the entire digital image without using a template if necessary. Therefore, the convenience of the distribution side is improved.

  Furthermore, in the image processing apparatus according to the present invention, the reproduction area information further includes direction information that defines a direction in which the digital image is reproduced, and the display means is configured to display the digital image according to the direction defined by the direction information. It is characterized by rotating and displaying. According to this image processing apparatus, since the digital image is rotated in accordance with the direction information, it is possible to prevent the vertical and horizontal shifts during reproduction.

  Furthermore, in the image processing apparatus according to the present invention, the trimming setting unit is configured so that when the aspect ratio of the frame is changed, an image is assigned to the entire reproduction area and an area protruding from the reproduction area is minimized. When the image represented by the playback area is enlarged or reduced, the area on the image that protrudes from the playback area is displayed so as to be visible on the digital image. According to this image processing apparatus, when an image represented by a playback area is enlarged or reduced so that an image is allocated to the entire playback area and the area protruding from the playback area is minimized, the area protruding from the playback area is determined. Can be confirmed before playback. Therefore, it is possible to appropriately select the playback area.

Furthermore, the image processing apparatus according to the present invention further includes warning means for issuing a warning when the frame is reduced to a predetermined magnification or less. According to this image processing apparatus, it is possible to know before reproduction that an area to be reproduced is excessively enlarged during reproduction and the image quality is lowered.
Furthermore, in the electronic device according to the present invention, the display means simultaneously displays a digital image and a layout image representing a state in which the reproduction area is arranged on the drawing space, and displays an image represented by the selected reproduction area. The composite image is displayed in the reproduction area on the layout image. According to this image processing apparatus, the playback area can be selected while confirming the result assigned to the playback area, so that the playback area can be easily selected.

It is assumed that the direction information is included in the reproduction area information. Whether information other than the reproduction area information is included in the template 21 can be selected as appropriate. In this embodiment, a rectangular reproduction area will be described as an example. However, the reproduction area may have any shape as long as it can be specified by a numerical value, for example, a circle, an ellipse, a triangle, a rhombus, etc. Also good.

Next, the image processing program will be described.
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a logical configuration of the image processing program. The image processing program includes a display unit 31, a trimming setting unit 32, a warning unit 33, and a processing unit 34.
The display unit 31 performs processing for displaying a digital image and a layout image on the display device 15. Specifically, processing for displaying the trimming setting screen 41 (see FIG. 5) on the display device 15, processing for displaying a menu for selecting a digital image stored in the external storage device 16, and the selected digital image Is displayed on the trimming setting screen 41, the layout confirmation screen 42 (see FIG. 5) is displayed on the display device 15, and the menu for selecting a template stored in the external storage device 16 is displayed. The generated template is interpreted to generate a layout image, and the generated layout image is displayed on the layout confirmation screen 42. Further, when the playback area is selected by the trimming setting section 32, the display unit 31 also performs a process of combining and displaying the image represented by the selected playback area in the playback area on the layout image.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a screen displayed by the display unit 31.
The trimming setting screen 41 includes an image area 44 for displaying the digital image 43 and a menu area 45 for displaying various menus. When the [File] menu in the menu area 45 is clicked with the mouse, a pull-down menu including a menu item for selecting a digital image and a menu item for selecting a template is displayed, and the user operates the menu with the mouse. Allows selection of digital images and templates. When a digital image is selected, the digital image 43 is displayed in the image area 44. When a template is selected, a layout confirmation screen 42 is displayed. The trimming setting screen 41 shown in FIG. 5 shows a case where “vertical” is defined in the direction information. When “horizontal” is defined in the direction information, when the template is selected, the digital image 43 is rotated 90 degrees right and displayed horizontally. When the digital image is rotated according to the direction information, it is possible to prevent the vertical and horizontal directions from being shifted during reproduction.

The layout confirmation screen 42 includes a layout image area 46. In the layout image area 46, based on the template selected on the trimming setting screen 41, a layout image 47 representing a state in which the reproduction area is arranged in the drawing space is displayed.
The trimming setting unit 32 shown in FIG. 4 displays a frame representing the shape of the reproduction area defined by the selected template on the trimming setting screen 41, and moves or deforms the displayed frame to the reproduction area. A process for selecting a playback area to be allocated, a process for displaying an area that protrudes from the playback area when the aspect ratio of the frame is changed, and the like are performed.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram for explaining a frame representing the shape of the reproduction area. It is assumed that a rectangular playback area having an aspect ratio (aspect ratio) of, for example, 3: 4 is defined in the playback area information of the selected template. Here, the aspect ratio means the ratio of the vertical width (= Y2-Y1) to the horizontal width (= X2-X1). In this case, the display unit 31 displays a rectangular frame 48 with an aspect ratio of 3: 4 on the digital image 43. Therefore, the frame 48 immediately after display represents the shape of the reproduction area defined in the template. When moving the frame 48, the user places the mouse pointer 51 on the frame 48, clicks the left button of the mouse, and performs an operation of moving the mouse while clicking. When this operation is performed, the OS notifies the trimming setting unit 32 of the occurrence of an event corresponding to the operation, and when the event occurs, the trimming setting unit 32 moves the frame 48 according to the amount of movement of the mouse. As a result, the frame 48 moves on the display device 15. When the frame 48 is deformed, the user performs the same operation as the movement while pressing a predetermined key. Also in this case, the occurrence of an event corresponding to the operation is notified, and the trimming setting unit 32 deforms the frame 48 according to the amount of movement of the mouse. As a result, the frame 48 is deformed on the display device 15 in accordance with the amount of movement of the mouse. When the frame 48 is deformed, when the operation is performed with the mouse pointer 51 placed at the four corners of the frame 48, the frame 48 is deformed in the same size. In this case, the aspect ratio of the frame 48 does not change, and the frame 48 is enlarged or reduced. On the other hand, in a case other than the four corners, the frame 48 is deformed to an arbitrary aspect ratio instead of the vertical / horizontal magnification. The area specified by the frame 48 after being moved or deformed is the playback area selected at that time. The display unit 31 described above synthesizes and displays the image represented by the playback area selected by the trimming setting unit 32 on the playback area 50 on the layout image 47 every time the playback area is selected. It should be noted that the frame may be allowed to rotate, or a modification may be made such that the square frame is formed into a rhombus.

  FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which an area protruding from the reproduction area is displayed so as to be visible. As described above, since the trimming setting unit 32 also accepts deformation of the frame 48, the aspect ratio of the frame 48 may be changed by the user. However, the aspect ratio of the playback area is constant. For this reason, when the aspect ratio of the frame 48 is changed, it is necessary to determine in advance how to allocate the playback area to the playback area. For example, FIG. 6 shows a case where the frame 48 is deformed vertically. When assigning a vertically long playback area to a relatively horizontally long playback area, if the playback area is assigned to the playback area so that the entire playback area is played back, the right side of the playback area and the right side of the playback area And an area in which no image is allocated occurs between the left side of the allocated image and the left side of the reproduction area. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is assumed that the image represented by the playback area is allocated by enlarging or reducing the image so that the image is allocated to the entire playback area and the area protruding from the playback area is minimized. Specifically, in the case of the example shown in FIG. 6, the right side of the image represented by the playback area is played back in a state where the center of the image represented by the playback area is aligned with the center of the playback area. It is assumed that reproduction is performed by enlarging or reducing the image in the vertical and horizontal directions so that the right side of the area and the left side of the image represented by the reproduction area overlap the left side of the reproduction area. When played back in this way, the upper and lower sides of the image represented by the playback area will protrude from the playback area, so that the upper part and the lower part of the image represented by the playback area will not be played back. Instead, an image can be assigned to the entire reproduction area, and the area that protrudes can be minimized. When the aspect ratio of the frame 48 is changed, the trimming setting unit 32 displays an area that protrudes from the reproduction area by shading on the digital image. As a result, when the user performs an operation to change the aspect ratio, it is possible to visually recognize which area protrudes. Therefore, it is possible to change the aspect ratio of the frame 48 while checking the area protruding from the reproduction area, and to know the reproduction result when the aspect ratio is changed without performing reproduction. In the playback area 50 of the layout confirmation screen 42, the playback area is assigned and displayed as described above.

  The warning unit 33 issues a warning when the frame 48 is reduced to a predetermined magnification or less. The image represented by the selected playback area is enlarged or reduced during playback and assigned to the playback area. In that case, if the enlargement magnification is too large, the image quality at the time of reproduction is significantly lowered. For this reason, the warning unit 33 calculates the magnification that must be enlarged each time the frame 48 is deformed, and displays a warning dialog on the display device 15 when the frame 48 exceeds a certain magnification. The predetermined magnification set forth in the claims refers to the size of the frame 48 immediately after display and the size of the frame 48 when the image represented by the area to be reproduced is reduced to be larger than the above-described certain magnification. This is the ratio of For example, assuming that the area of the frame 48 immediately after display is 1, and the area when the frame 48 is reduced to 0.5 until the image represented by the region to be reproduced has to be enlarged to a certain magnification or more is 0.5, When the size of 48 is reduced to 0.5 times or less, a warning is displayed.

  FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing a warning dialog displayed by the warning unit 33. The user can know before reproduction that the image quality may be deteriorated during reproduction by displaying the illustrated warning dialog 52. It should be noted that, for example, the warning data may be reproduced by reproducing the voice data in which the voice for guiding the warning is recorded, or the warning may be performed by blinking the frame 48. The warning method is a design item that can be selected as appropriate.

  The processing unit 34 executes predetermined processing based on the playback area selected by the trimming setting unit 32. Specifically, the processing unit 34 of the present embodiment includes information for specifying the selected digital image and playback area information for defining the playback area selected by the trimming setting section 32 in the digital image coordinate system. The template is stored in the template selected in association with the reproduction area information, and the template after storage is output. Specifically, the stored template is stored in the external storage device 16. Note that the data may be output by being transmitted to another device via the network interface.

  FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing a template in which information is stored by the processing unit 34. In the illustrated example, travel 01. This means that an image jpg has been selected and a rectangular area having (P1, S1) as the upper left coordinates and (P2, S2) as the lower right coordinates on the digital image represented by the image data has been selected as the playback area. is doing. Here, (P1, S1) and (P2, S2) are coordinates defined in the coordinate system of the digital image, and are not defined in the coordinate system of the drawing space. The coordinates (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2) that define the reproduction area are coordinates defined in the coordinate system of the drawing space. In FIG. 8, information specifying the selected digital image, playback area information, and playback area information are related to each other by wrapping them with “{” and “}”. If the information specifying the selected digital image and the playback area information are associated with the playback area information and stored in the template, the playback area can be cut out from the image data based on the playback area information. There is no need to trim the playback area and store it as a single digital image. For this reason, the number of files does not become plural, and management effort can be reduced. For example, when a template and a digital image specified by the template are distributed, the digital image before trimming is distributed. Therefore, the distributed side reproduces the entire digital image without using the template. In addition, it can be played back using a template, which improves the convenience of the distribution side.

Next, the process flow of the PC 1 will be described.
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a process flow of the PC 1.
In S105, the trimming setting screen 41 is displayed, and selection of a digital image is accepted.
In S110, the selected digital image is displayed.

In S115, a template selection is accepted.
In S120, a frame 48 representing the shape of the reproduction area defined by the selected template is displayed on the digital image. In S125, the template is interpreted and the layout confirmation screen 42 is displayed. As a result, the digital image and the layout image are displayed simultaneously.

In S130, an operation for moving or deforming the frame 48 is accepted, and the frame 48 is moved or deformed in accordance with the operation, and an image represented by the selected reproduction target area is displayed in the reproduction area 50 on the layout image 47. .
In S135, the magnification of the frame 48 is determined. When the magnification is not more than the predetermined magnification, the process proceeds to S140. If it is larger than the predetermined magnification, the process proceeds to S145.

In S140, a warning is issued and the process returns to S130.
In S145, the information specifying the selected digital image and the playback area information selected by moving or deforming the frame 48 are stored in the template in association with the playback area information, and the stored template is stored in the external. The data is stored in the storage device 16.

  Next, reproduction of a digital image based on the template will be described. The reproduction may be performed by displaying on the display device 15 of the PC 1 or may be performed by printing with the printer 2 connected to the PC 1. Alternatively, the template and the digital image specified by the template may be transmitted to another device such as a personal computer or a printer and performed by the other device. When displaying on the display device 15, the display area corresponds to the drawing space, and when printing with the printer 2, the printing paper corresponds to the drawing space.

  FIG. 10A is a schematic diagram for explaining the reproduction of a digital image based on a template, and FIG. 10B is a plan view showing the reproduced digital image. 10A and 10B show a case where printing is performed based on the template shown in FIG. Further, a point R in FIG. 10A indicates the origin of the coordinate system of the digital image, and a point W indicates the origin of the coordinate system of the drawing space. When printing based on the template, the playback area specified by (P1, S1) and (P2, S2) is trimmed, and the image represented by the trimmed playback area is represented by (X1, Y1) and The image is enlarged or reduced so as to be printed in the reproduction area specified by (X2, Y2). Similarly, the background image is enlarged or reduced and synthesized to generate a synthesized image. In this composition, the image represented by the area to be reproduced is synthesized by positioning so as to be printed in the reproduction areas (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2) on the postcard. As a result, a digital image is printed based on the template as shown in FIG.

According to the PC 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention described above, the frame 48 having an aspect ratio equal to the aspect ratio of the reproduction area defined in the template is displayed on the digital image. Therefore, the reproduction defined in the template is performed. A playback area having an aspect ratio equal to the aspect ratio of the area can be easily selected.
In this embodiment, the case where the information for specifying the digital image and the playback area information are stored in the template in association with the playback area has been described as an example. However, the information for specifying the digital image and the playback area information are not necessarily the same. There is no need to store it in the template. For example, when the playback area is selected, the processing unit 34 generates print data based on the selected digital image, the selected playback area and the selected template, and the generated print data is printed on the printer. The process of outputting to 2 and reproducing may be executed. However, in this case, the playback area must be selected every time playback is performed. Alternatively, the selected playback area may be trimmed to create another digital image, and information specifying the digital image may be stored in the template in association with the playback area information.

  In this embodiment, a personal computer has been described as an example of the image processing apparatus. However, the image processing apparatus may be a digital camera, a PDA, a mobile phone with a digital camera, or the like, and includes each of these apparatuses and a printer. May be.
