Technical Field

[2]

The invention relates to a method of making a video recording, in particular with regard to a kind of imaging system presenting the angle of the Image adjustment method and its system.

[3]

Background Art

[4]

The digital static or dynamic photographic technique are matched with the multimedia software and hardware playback apparatus has been developed very mature, price had been reduced to general consumers within the range of acceptable, therefore, digital camera or digital camera has been widespread in the life of the general public. Furthermore, today's many hand-held portable electronic products has also started the digital camera function is integrated in a body, for example, many personal digital processor of the mobile phone or PDA or portable satellite navigator PND are integrated with the camera function.

[5]

However, using the digital camera when in general, in order to shoot static Image digital camera, for example, generally is to take photographs is holding manner, that is, greater than the transverse width of the vertical height of the two eyes watch to meet the physiological characteristic of external matter to pick up Image, but because of the sometimes is the subject to be shot or to wide big in the charterhouse is big in wide angle, therefore the digital camera will be converted to the state of the selected to shoot in the vertical direction. However, because of the digital camera is set the relationship between the sensing assembly, the Image photographed by the same directly in general of a computer Image of the playing software will become backward transversely when the state, there is a need to utilize the clockwise or counterclockwise rotation function to rotate the same one by one to be stored, thus will cause the user in reading with the viewing Image is quite inconvenient.

[6]

In the Image rotation in the prior art, have related control technology is developed. In the patented technology, such as Taiwan Patent Bulletin number section I276042, , in other words, discloses an Image-automatic rotation device and the method for implementing the same. In this Patent, automatic Image rotary device comprises a loading unit, a memory unit, a micro-processing unit and a display unit, according to the micro-processing unit is stored in the memory unit of the identifying algorithm to detect the loaded by the loading unit of the Image pick-up device picks up the Image features in the Image, according to the characteristic identification algorithm for judging the Image features in the Image.

[7]

When the characteristic identification algorithm judge the Image in the Image characteristic and non-up, micro-processing unit will rotate the Image until the Image in the Image is so far upwards. Furthermore, micro-processing unit for rotating the Image of the Image in advance before the picture after rotating the display on the display unit to provide the preview. Automatic Image rotation method, comprises a loading step of loading a Image, detecting Image in the at least one Image characteristic detecting step, judging whether the Image characteristic of the Image is in the judgment step and if otherwise implementation of a rotating Image of the Image until the Image in the rotation step is so far upwards.

The solution of the present invention to the technical problem

[10]

However, in order to make the can correctly ornamental object when the Image must be photographed in order to pick-up of the electronic product to comply with intended to shoot the angle direction of the object, or such as the Image automatic rotating device and method for its implementation in the former case, the memory unit is stored in the identification algorithm of the target object to determine whether to include the Image characteristic in the Image, then through microprocessing unit judgement steps to the implementation of the Image of the object until the rotation of the Image in the Image rotation step is the upwards.

[11]

However, whether rotation is used for imaging the electronic product in order to obtain the appropriate angle and according to the shooting direction of the Image object Image is contained in the microprocessor unit of the multi-rotation to shoot the Image, after the shooting is still required to re-utilize the Image characteristic of the Image object has been stored, in the front case to the Image characteristic includes at least one human face features, such as eyes, eyebrows, nares, lip, ears, and hair, the other if the articles, device, does not include the area of the Image of the face features is to execute the Image rotation can not be judged.

[12]

Edge this, the main purpose of the invention is camera system is to provide a method for adjusting the Image presenting the angle, predetermined by the user can be in accordance with the direction of the Image pick up the Image, when viewed and to rotate without the steps of the Image.

[13]

Another purpose of this invention is to provide a in accordance with the individual using habits by the user to set a predetermined direction of the Image pick-up method of the way, in order to pick up the Image comprises Image position data.

[14]

The invention solve the problem the technical means

[15]

This invention is to solve the problems of known art the technical means adopted by the user can be a designated device for presenting the angle of the Image of the shooting target object Image, the Image in a predetermined direction of the Image pick-up to the target object Image pick-up device. The Image presenting the angle and designated device can use the touch screen line, the operation key group, or with the gravity direction sensing device for sensing the gravity direction to produce a Image position parameter provided to Image pick-up device. Image position parameter can be stored in the Image file of the Image or in one of the stored in the parameter record associated with the Image file in one of the associated parameter.

[16]

Image pick-up device picks up the Image sensing device is in the Image, the object, of the Image object of the Image to be stored in the form of data in the Image file, and the Image data can be associated with the Image position parameter, the target object and opened by the Image when display is read, the Image data can be set by the user presenting direction, in order to help users browsing.

[17]

In another embodiment, also can be adjusted to change the Image data of the coordinate parameters, the target object by the Image when display is read and the opening, by change of the presenting position.

[18]

Compared with the prior art of the present invention the effect of

[19]

The invention adopts a technical means, the user can use the Image pick-up system of this invention presenting the angle by the operation of the Image adjusting method of presenting the angle and designating device, let the user in accordance with the predetermined Image direction picking up the Image. When shooting and will be attached to a predetermined Image direction is changed or the Image file of the Image data so as to adjust the coordinate parameter, when the browsing Image file according to the predetermined Image direction when shooting directly displayed on the display screen, without the need for through the additional Image processing software to the manual mode or in the direction of rotating Image if before, document in order to Image the Image characteristic comprising a plurality of rotary Image steps of Image processing.

[20]

Furthermore, the Image pick-up system of this invention presents the angle adjusting method can be to use habits of the user providing the users with different self-setting a predetermined direction of the Image pick-up method. If the Image of this invention presenting the angle and designated function in the embodiment, the user can touch operation of the touch control screen on four sides of the frame, a horizontal edge or point in the selected mode is the preset the bottom edge of one side of the frame. Or if another embodiment of the present invention in providing a predetermined gravity direction sensing device for shooting the reference azimuth.
