Description

  The present invention relates to a system for automatically generating a 3D image and automatically converting an image format. In particular, the computer control allows a 3D rotating disk and an image capturing device to perform simultaneous shooting and automatically generate an image reproduction format. It is about the system to convert.

  A method of rotating a rotating 3D turntable manually to shoot each rotation angle of a three-dimensional object has been adopted for a long time, but the conversion of the image format is cumbersome and reproducible, clear images It takes time to operate because it is difficult to synthesize accurately to the format. In recent years, digital cameras have been widely used, but computer-controlled digital camera photography is not yet universal. Many people who manually change the 3D turntable to the automatic method are not familiar with the simultaneous control of digital cameras, so the computer control is sufficient to fully match the ability of the 3D turntable and image capture device to complete image capture. It cannot be demonstrated. Many images generated by the image capture device are in RAW DATA, JPG, TIFF, or other formats, but the image file that many images occupy is too large and is manually Will open each image one by one, convert it to a lower level (eg 256 colors) image format, and finally compose it into a reproducible object rotation image format (eg GIF) The operation process is quite complex and time consuming.

  Therefore, the 3D turntable and the image capture device are simultaneously photographed and generated by computer control, and the image format generated by the image capture device is automatically converted to match the reproducible image format. It is ideal that a high-quality 3D playback image can be completed easily and automatically, and that the sample 3D image is made into business communication and universalized, without requiring a special technique and without requiring an image format conversion module. .

  The problem to be solved is to provide a system in which a computer-controlled 3D turntable and an image capturing device advance simultaneous photographing and automatically convert to an image reproduction format.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a computer-controlled 3D rotating disk and a 3D rotating disk by providing a system in which a 3D rotating disk and an image capturing device advance simultaneous shooting and automatically convert to an image reproduction format. , An image capturing device and an image format automatic conversion module. A three-dimensional object is placed at each rotation fixed angle on the 3D rotating disk, and the image capturing device executes photographing. When the 3D turntable rotates once, the image capturing device completes a large number of images and stores them in a computer, and the image format automatic conversion module converts the image format generated by the image capturing device into an automatically reproducible image format. .

  The system for automatic generation of 3D images and automatic image format conversion provided by the present invention enables easy, high-level imaging without using advanced image capturing technology and without using an image format conversion module. Quality 3D reproducible images can be completed automatically.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a system for automatic simultaneous photographing and automatic image format conversion according to the present invention. A 3D rotating disk control module 14, an image capturing device control module 15, and an image format automatic conversion module 16 are included in a computer 10. It is attached to. The image capturing device control module 15 controls the photographing of the image capturing device 20 via the universal serial bus (USB) 11, and at the same time, the 3D turntable control module 14 uses the control card 30 via the USB 12 to 3D The rotation of the turntable 40 is controlled. The control card 30 supplies power to the 3D turntable 40 via the power supply line 50. When the 3D turntable 40 is localized at a position where the 3D turntable 40 is rotated, the signal line 13 further uses the USB 12 via the control card 30. To the computer 10. The computer 10 notifies the image capturing device 20 of the execution of shooting to the subject 21. The image obtained after the completion of photographing is automatically completed into a reproducible image file by the image format automatic conversion module 16.

  FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the system of the present invention. In step 1, a subject is placed on a 3D rotating disk. In step 2, after executing the program of the 3D rotating disk control module, image capture device control module, and image format automatic conversion module in the computer, the 3D rotating disk rotates on the user interface of the computer panel, In addition, the playback time interval between adjacent images is selected. In step 3, the automatic simultaneous photographing system is activated on the user interface on the computer panel. In step 4, after completing each parameter setting, execution of automatic simultaneous photographing is started. The computer controls the grid for each rotation of the 3D turntable, and the image capture device proceeds to take images simultaneously until the 3D turntable makes one revolution. In Step 5, after waiting for one rotation of the 3D turntable, the rotation of the 3D image is completed, and the image generated by the image capturing device is transmitted to a folder (Folder) designated in advance in the computer by USB. And complete the shooting. In step 6, after all the images have been captured, the computer is started, and the captured images are automatically extracted from the folder designated in advance, and the image format is automatically converted into an image format with a small number of occupied capacities. Finally, it is synthesized into a rotating image format that can directly reproduce the subject.

  In the above system work process, the simultaneous image capture of the 3D turntable and the image capturing device by computer automatic control is the completed image format is the output image format of the image capturing device, and the output image format is The computer automatically converts the output image format into an image format with a low occupied capacity and automatically synthesizes it into an image format that can be played back in 3D, that is, from image generation to 3D playback. The image format is converted into a complete image, and is fully automated by computer control.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a circuit structure of the 3D turntable 40 of the present invention. The computer 10 controls the 3D turntable 40 by the control card 30 and transmits a signal to the computer 10. It can be understood whether the simultaneous capturing of the image capturing device 20 is controlled using the image capturing device control module 15. In FIG. 3, the computer 10 commands the 3D rotating disk in the computer 10 by the USB 12 and the USB interface IC 31, controls the pressurization time of the motor 41 by the CPU 32 and the motor driving IC 33, and the power line 50 controls the number of rotations of the motor 41. When the motor 41 rotates, the raster 44 and the gear 42 are swung, and the gear 42 swirls the rotation of the 3D turntable 40. The raster 44 is a disk piece having a circular hole. When the motor 41 rotates once, the sensor 45 detects the circular hole, and the rotational speed signal is set to the set value by the signal line 13 and the decoder 34. Until it becomes, it transmits to CPU32. The AC-DC transformer 35 can convert AC current into DC current and provide it to the motor 41 in addition to providing the transformation effect.

  4 is a structural side view of the 3D turntable 40 of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a structural view of the 3D turntable 40 of the present invention.
