Title: REAL-TIME MULTILAYER IMAGE SYNTHESIS

RECORDING SYSTEM AND METHOD, AND A RECORDING MEDIUM USING THE SYSTEM AND

METHOD

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a real-time multilayer image synthesis recording system and method, and a recording medium using the system and method, and in particular to a real-time multilayer image synthesis recording system and method, and a recording medium using the system and method in which a motion image generated using an image input apparatus such as a green screen, a common screen, a CCD camera, a web camera, etc. is synthesized with a chroma channel, which is a background separation image, and an a channel, which generates in response to a sound inputted into a sound input apparatus(microphone, audio system, MP3, song accompaniment unit, etc) is synthesized in real time for thereby producing a 3D multilayer image multimedia CD in real time.

Background Art Generally, as the internet, ultra high speed communication network, and computer processing ability are enhanced, a multimedia process method using a motion image recorded with a camera, camcorder, etc. is diversified. The motion image is recorded on various storing mediums and is used as an information transfer means. So, the method of manufacturing motion images is considered as a key technology.

According to a method for manufacturing such motion images, a background screen and a photography object are synthesized using a chroma- key technique. Here, the chroma-key technique is a special effect method in which the synthesis of screen is electrically performed. A keying signal is made using RGB colors in a television camera. A blue color, which is a complementary color in a skin color of a human being, is processed as a filter color. First, a blue color background and an output signal of a camera, which records a photography subject, are divided into two level signals and are applied as a control voltage of two gate circuits. A photography subject is extracted from an output signal of a camera, which records a background image, and is combined with an output signal of a camera using a mixing circuit.

Since the above all procedures are performed using an electronic circuit, it is possible to fast perform synthesis. The image synthesis based on the above principle is generally performed using a color film in a movie field. In this case, a worker needs a very special skill and needs to work for days.

The above motion image production technique is performed depending on software included in a motion image capture board. Namely, the function of a motion image capture board, which has been conventionally used, is directly used. Since the conventional motion image file is formed of one motion image data, it is possible only to play back after the motion image file is finished.

The motion image file may be edited. The procedure that a second motion image is finished and played back via the edition of the motion image file is just the same procedure as the playing back procedure after the finishing work. The image quality and sound of the motion image generated with only the electronic circuits are not clean.

Even though equipments and software for manufacturing a motion image using a computer are diversified, it is not easy for a non-expert to produce a motion image. In addition, an apparatus for processing a camera image and an apparatus for processing sounds should be additionally equipped.

So, there are many limitations in cost and space. For various industrial applications, functions for a real-time control and edition and play-back of motion image files are needed, but are not available.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

The real-time multilayer image synthesis recording system and method, and a recording medium using the system and method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 is a view illustrating a construction of a real-time multilayer image synthesis recording system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The real-time multilayer image synthesis recording system according to the present invention is an integration type system and comprises an image synthesis apparatus 200, and a control apparatus 300 for controlling the same.

Here, the image synthesis apparatus 200 is an integration type system and comprises an image synthesis unit 210 and a recording unit 250 which overcome a space limitation and significantly enhance sound and image qualities by improving the conventional motion image system which is generally used in a Karaoke singing room, and consists of an image process apparatus for processing an image inputted into a camera, a sound process apparatus for processing a sound inputted.

In the image synthesis unit 210, an image of a user's dance, song accompaniment, etc. recorded using a green screen, a common screen, a CCD camera, a web camera, etc., which are various input apparatuses 100, is received. A motion image is generated in real time using a soft chroma key technique, which is a background separation image technique, along with a screen switch method in which various background images such as a nature background, a city background, a tale background, a stage background and a special background, and a 3D special effect and a mathematical algorithm of the present invention are applied. A transparent, semi-transparent, non- transparent a channel, which is generated in response to a sound inputted via a microphone, an audio system, MP3, song accompaniment unit, etc., is synchronized with the above generated motion image and is synthesized in real time. The 3D multilayer motion image is converted and compressed into a video file and an audio file with the help of a streaming technique.

The soft chroma key technique is made by improving the conventional soft chroma key technique and is adapted to the present invention. In case that chroma key is used based on the conventional method, a jitter phenomenon may occur at a boundary of synthesized potion disconnected with a blue color component or a blue color component, which is used for obtain a key signal, is covered on the foreground. Namely, the synthesis is unnatural.

However, in the present invention, a large size waveform generated by providing a key signal waveform with a certain slant is used in consideration with a dissolve property of an image waveform, and a circuit able to overcome a color fog phenomenon, is adapted in the present invention. So, it is possible to obtain a natural screen synthesis which does not generate a jitter problem or a blue color fog phenomenon. In the above circuit, a key signal changes depending on a change of lighting condition and a change of photography subject. Namely, in the present invention, a circuit able to resolve the above change is installed. So, when a certain change occurs, it is automatically detected, so that the optimum value is outputted. When the above a channel is combined with the background image, when the a channel has a non-transparent property, the image except the transparent portion of the a channel is filly covered on the background image. When the a channel has the non-transparent property, the background image can be seen on the portions where the a channel and the background image are overlapped. The above technique is actually adapted to the still image, but is not currently adapted to the motion image.

In the present invention, the a channel, which can be adapted to the motion image, is developed and applied to the image synthesis unit.

The image synthesis unit 210 temporarily stores a video file in which the streaming technique is adapted. When a signal informing the end of a user's image and song is detected, the video file, which is the streaming file, is converted into an audio file and is copied.

The recording unit 250 judges whether the inserted storing medium is an exclusive storing medium and automatically record on various storing medium such as a CD, DVD, Audio CD, VCD, etc. in real time in one sector along with a control program which is able to selectively play back the video and audio files. Here, the control program judges the kinds of play back apparatus in which the storing medium is inserted and played, and provides the position information of the video and audio files. A certain mark is inserted into the CD, DVD, Audio CD, VCD, etc. for recognizing that the above recoding medium is an exclusive storing medium used in the real-time multilayer image synthesis recording system according to the present invention. The video and audio files stored in various storing mediums such as CD,

DVD, Audio CD, VCD, etc. are automatically selected and played in the play back apparatus such as CD, DVD, Audio CD, VCD, etc. by the above program.

The control apparatus 300 controls various input apparatuses 100 connected with the image input apparatus of the present invention, the image synthesis unit and a recording unit such as a CD ROM recording apparatus using a wireless communication such as infrared ray, RF, bluetooth, ZigBee, etc.

The control apparatus 300 is able to optimize the performance by preventing an error operation of the system which may occur owing to the mixing of frequencies of other electronic appliances using its inherent frequency bandwidth. It can be charged via a USB port or can be charged using an AAA battery. The control apparatus 300 is able to freely control the real-time multilayer image synthesis recording apparatus within 15m in a radius distance.

Figure 2 is a block diagram of an image synthesis apparatus according to the present invention. The image synthesis apparatus according to the present invention comprises an image synthesis unit 210 and a recording unit 250.

The image synthesis unit 210 is an integration system and comprises a system control unit 215, a background image input unit 211 , a camera source input unit 2123, a 3D special effect unit 213, an audio source input unit 214, an image synthesis unit 216, a voice recognition unit 217, and a file compression conversion unit 218.

The system controller 215 receives an input signal from the control apparatus 300 and remotely controls an input apparatus, image synthesis unit and a recording unit.

The background image input unit 211 generates a project for implementing a special effect, inherent screen switch effect, 3D image, etc. using an edit(EDIT) program with the help of a nature background, city background, tale background, stage background, and special background and produces various theme-based images and stores the produced data.

The camera source input unit 212 selects a certain camera of the input apparatus 100 in a previously set sequence and records a video image of a user and performs a natural switching operation by adapting an inherent screen switch effect stored in the image synthesis apparatus 200 while the cameras are switched from a first camera to second, third or fourth cameras in sequence.

The 3D special effect unit 213 previously stores the data of a 3D special effect and properly combines with a previously stored background image using an exclusive editor and generates a subject-based and theme-based project file.

It further synthesizes a 3D image by adding a special effect to a user's image data recorded using a CCD camera before the green screen.

The audio source input unit 214 controls an input signal of an analog and digital sound inputted via a microphone, audio system, CD player, MP3, song accompaniment unit which are the sound input apparatus and converts the inputted analog signal into a digital signal. The image synthesis unit 216 synthesizes a previously stored background screen, a 3D effect and an inherent screen switch effect with a user's image recorded by a camera for thereby generating a motion image file and supports various synthesis techniques including a simple synthesis technique as well as an a channel in the course of a motion image synthesis.

The voice recognition unit 217 analyzes and extracts an inputted signal information and retrieves an a channel which visually formats a previously stored sound information and adapts a transparent, semi-transparent and non- transparent a image to a user's image recorded using a camera and a 3D image effect for thereby producing and synthesizing an image which responses to a sound and music.

The file compression and conversion unit 218 synchronizes a motion image file generated by the image synthesis unit 216 with an inputted sound signal and a special effect and converts a 3D multilayer motion image, which is synthesized and rendered in real time, into a video file(*.asf) of a streaming file and compresses and stores the same. It extracts a photo and graphic file from the synthesized 3D multilayer motion image in accordance with a set time and stores into a temporal memory and transmits to the recording unit 250.

The file compression and conversion unit 218 extracts the finally rendered 3D multilayer motion image at a designated time interval and stores in an inherent player and transmits to the cellular phone or the internet network.

The recording unit 250 comprises a sensor light emitting unit 252, a sensor light receiving unit 25, a detection circuit 256, and a controller 256.

The sensor light emitting unit 252 emits light on a marked portion of a surface of a storing medium inserted in the recording unit 250.

The sensor light receiving unit 254 receives a value when light emitted from the sensor light emitting unit 252 is reflected by a certain mark inserted in the surface of the storing medium and amplifies the value and transmits to the detection circuit 256.

The detection circuit judges whether the medium is an exclusive storing medium using a value transmitted from the sensor light receiving unit 254.

The control unit 258 controls an ejection and/or recording of the storing medium inserted in the recording unit 250 in accordance with a result value of the detection circuit 256.

The method for judging whether the storing medium inserted in the recording unit 250 is an exclusive storing medium or not is performed using a line tracer. The line tracer is implemented based on a simple digital principle that the white color of the floor line corresponds to a reflection(O), and the block color corresponds to an absorption(1). The sensor light receiving unit 254 receives a value when light from the sensor light emitting unit 252 is reflected on the surface of the storing medium and amplifies the value and transmits to the detection circuit 256. When the received value is 0, the detection circuit 256 ejects the inserted storing medium, and when 1 , the recording is performed. Figure 3 is a block diagram of a program included in the image synthesis unit 210 according to the present invention.

The program installed in the image synthesis unit 210 comprises a project D/B 290, a project interpretation module 291 , an image control module 292, a special effect generation module 293, a screen switch process module 294, a still image process module 295, an image sound combining module 296, and a sound recording process module 297.

The program may be mounted in the image synthesis unit 210 or may be installed in a certain storing medium that can be read by a computer. The project D/B 290 stores a story of the motion image what a user wants to produce.

The motion image story sets the whole contents of the motion image that a user wants to produce. It may set a background screen, a screen process, a special effect, etc. using a project program provided from the image synthesis unit.

The project interpretation module 291 controls various image control modules 292 based on the project contents, a special effect generation module 293, a screens switch module 294, a still image process module 295, etc.

The image control module 292 synthesizes a special effect, a motion image screen switch, a still image and a motion image with various a images in accordance with a song accompaniment sound inputted or an audio sound of a music file and controls the above operations.

The special effect generation module 293 generates a special effect based on the contents of the project in accordance with a control of the project interpretation module 291 and synthesizes the same.

The screen switch process module 294 generates a screen switch effect based on the contents of the project in accordance with a control of the project interpretation module 291 and synthesizes the same.

The screen switch process module 294 sets two critical values and judges as a fast screen switch when a feature value is above a higher critical value, and accumulates the feature values in a section having the values higher than a lower critical value when the feature value is above a lower critical value. When the accumulated feature value is larger than the given critical value, it is judged as a slow screen switch.

According to a basic method for detecting screen switch detection, when a feature value between continuous frames is larger than a previously set critical value, it is judged that a screen switch occurs. With this method, it is possible to detect a fast screen switch, but it is not impossible to detect a slow screen switch. Namely, when the critical value is set too high, it is impossible to detect a slow screen switch. On the contrary, when the critical value is set too low, too many screen switches are detected in one slow screen switch or a change of an image occurring owing to a fast motion of an object may be detected as a screen switch by mistake, so that the image quality is worsened. However, in the present invention, since a method for detecting a slow screen switch by checking the change of feature values within the section of the slow screen switch and before and after the above section is used, it is not sensitive to an instant change of a feature value. In addition, it is possible to adaptively deal with the different images. A HSV color histogram was used as the above feature values. Each component of the histogram is 4-bit quantized so that it is not too sensitive to a small change. The χ¹ method is used for obtaining the difference between frames. The screen switch detection method implemented based on a critical value has a result which is determined largely depending on the critical value used. An adaptive critical value is needed so as to decrease the above dependence with respect to the critical value.

A local window having a length of N is covered on the portion before and after the current frame so as to set an adaptive critical value, so that the critical value is set using an average value of the feature values in the window with the equation of m_τ=T_pμ _N where rτiτ is a selected adaptive critical value and

Tp is a previously selected critical value, and μ N is an average value in the local window. When the feature value of the current frame is larger than the obtained adaptive critical value and is the maximum value in the window, it is judged that the screen switch occurred.

In the above method, two critical values are set. When the feature value is larger than the higher critical value, it is judged as a fast screen switch, and when it is larger than the lower critical value, the feature values are accumulated in the section having the values larger than the lower critical value. When the accumulated feature value is larger than the given critical value, it is judged as a slow screen switch.

According to the above method, the present invention is well adapted to a slow screen switch and is adaptively corresponded with respect to various images. Since it is not sensitive to an instant change such as noise, a motion image of good image quality can be obtained.

The still image process module 295 processes a still image corresponding to the project in accordance with a control of the project interpretation module 291.

The image sound combining module 296 combines the motion image generated by the image control module 292 with a sound and converts into the streaming file of the final video file and compresses the same.

The sound recording process module 297 allows a user to input his voice and to insert into a video file. When it is recorded on the storing medium using the recording unit 250, it is possible to input video and audio files as well as to record his voice and to input an advertisement message of a certain company.

Figure 4 is a flow chart of a method of a real-time multilayer synthesis recording method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

A user sets the image synthesis apparatus 200 using the control apparatus 300 in order to produce a multimedia CD using a green screen, a common screen, a CCD camera, a web camera, a sound input apparatus(microphone, audio system, MP3, song accompaniment unit) etc. in a step S502.

The user may select a project file that is provided by previously designing the motion image story for users in the image synthesis unit 210 in a step S504 and may design the motion image story in a desired method using the project editor(EDIT) program provided from the image synthesis unit 210 and stores the same as a project file in a step S506.

When the user selects the project file, the image synthesis unit 210 records a user's accompaniment, dance or appearance, and the sound is received using a microphone, audio system, song accompaniment unit, etc. in a step S508.

The images of the inputted user's accompaniment, dance and appearance are synthesized with a previously set background screen, screen switch effect, still image process, 3D effect, etc. in accordance with the project contents selected by the user using a soft chroma key channel, which is a background separation image technique in a step S510, and a motion image file is generated in a step S512. In addition, it is analyzed whether the user's selected project contains an a channel. When the a channel exists, various a images such as transparent, non-transparent and semi-transparent images are generated in response to the inputted user's sound via the a channel mixing process and are applied to the user's synthesized motion image file in real time in a step S514.

Various a images applied in real time to the motion image file are synchronized and combined for thereby generating a 3D multilayer motion image which is finally rendered in a step S516.

The finally rendered 3D multilayer motion image is converted into the video file of an inherent streaming file and is compressed and stored in a temporal storing space for recording on a storing medium in a step S518.

When a signal of informing the end of a user's image and song accompaniment, song and dance, etc. is detected, the video file stored in the temporal storing space is automatically copied as an audio file by the program and is converted in a step S522.

The video and audio files are automatically recorded on various storing mediums such as CD, DVD, Audio CD, VCD, etc. Here, a control program able to play back using the play back apparatus such as CD, DVD, Audio CD, VCD, etc. is stored as well, so that the production of the multimedia CD is finished. The thusly-produced storing mediums can be executed irrespective of different play-back mediums.

Industrial Applicability As described above, according to the real-time multilayer image synthesis recording system and method of the present invention, a layer of an a channel responding to a sound is added to a motion image, and a chroma channel of a background separation image is synthesized, so that it is possible to synthesize a 3D multilayer image in real time having multiple layers. In addition, when the video and audio files of 3D multilayer images are recorded on various storing mediums, a control program is stored together so that the play-back apparatus can selectively read a corresponding data, whereby it is possible to execute the program irrespective of the types of playback apparatuses. As a soft chroma-key technique and an inherent screen switch algorithm are adapted in real time to the inputs of the motion image and sound, a clean image and sound quality and reliable 3D multilayer image can be produced.

In the present invention, an integration type system controllable with less chips and software is provided as compared to a conventional motion image system which consists of multiple hardware, and has complicated construction, and needs more space, so that the costs for a system installation and workers is decreased, and a non-expert person can easily produce a 3D multilayer image.

As the present invention may be embodied in several forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof, it should also be understood that the above-described examples are not limited by any of the details of the foregoing description, unless otherwise specified, but rather should be construed broadly within its spirit and scope as defined in the appended claims, and therefore all changes and modifications that fall within the meets and bounds of the claims, or equivalences of such meets and bounds are therefore intended to be embraced by the appended claims.
