no. 1 Embodiment

[0097] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described. exist Figure 10 (a) shows a slide bar 410 as a UI for setting. The slide bar 410 is composed of the following parts: a rectangular distance axis icon 411 extending in a fixed direction on the display screen 51; 413. The position on the distance axis icon 411 represents the subject distance. Such as Figure 10 As shown in (b), one end 415 of the two ends in the long side direction of the distance axis icon 411 corresponds to a subject distance of zero, and the other end 416 corresponds to an infinite subject distance or a sufficiently large subject distance . The positions of the bar icons 412 and 413 on the distance axis icon 411 correspond to the near-point distance Ln and the far-point distance Lf, respectively, so the bar icon 412 is always located at the end 415 side compared to the bar icon 413 . In addition, the shape of the distance axis icon 411 can be a rectangle, or can be, for example, Fi...

no. 2 Embodiment

[0120] A second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the second embodiment, for the Figure 9 Another specific method of the adjustment instruction that may be performed in step S15 will be described. The image displayed on the display screen 51 when an adjustment instruction is given in step S15 is the object input image 310 itself or an image based on the object input image 310. Here, for the sake of simplicity of description, it is assumed that an adjustment instruction is made in step S15. , the target input image 310 itself is displayed (the same applies to the third embodiment described later).

[0121] The adjustment instruction in the second embodiment is realized by designating a plurality of specific objects on the display screen 51 , and the user can perform the designating operation as a kind of touch panel operation. The depth of field setting unit 62 generates depth setting information so that a plurality of specific objects specified by th...

no. 3 Embodiment

[0129] A third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the third embodiment, for the Figure 9 Another specific method of the adjustment instruction that may be performed in step S15 will be described.

[0130] The adjustment instruction in the third embodiment is realized by a designation operation of designating a specific object on the display screen 51, and the user can perform this designation operation as a kind of touch panel operation. The depth of field setting unit 62 generates depth setting information so that the specific object specified by the specifying operation is contained within the depth of field of the target output image. At this time, the depth of field of the target output image is determined according to the length of time TL during which the finger touches the specific object on the display screen 51 in the specifying operation.

[0131] Specifically, for example, when wanting to get the subject SUB 1 When outputting an image of a...

Abstract

The invention provides an excellent user interface for setting depth of field in an electronic equipment which can adjust the depth of field by image processing. Therefore, an image device generates a target output image by changing a depth of field of a target input image by image processing. A monitor displays a distance histogram (430) indicating a distribution of distance of the photographed target, wherein the distance histogram is made by mapping the distance of the photographed target at each position in the target input image. Furthermore, the monitor displays strip icon (412) and (413) that are movable along a distance axis (431) in the distance histogram (430). The position of the strip icon (412) and (413) is changed to a desired position of the user by touch panel operation and the depth of field of target input image is changed in accordance with the position of the strip icon (412) and (413)

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to electronic devices such as imaging devices, portable information terminals, and personal computers. Background technique [0002] A function of adjusting the focus state of a captured image through image processing has been proposed, and one type of processing for realizing this function is also called digital focusing (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3 below). [0003] Patent Document 1: JP Unexamined Publication No. 2009-224982 [0004] Patent Document 2: JP Unexamined Publication No. 2008-271241 [0005] Patent Document 3: JP-A-2002-247439 [0006] The depth of field (depth of field) of the output image obtained through digital focusing should follow the user's wishes. However, sufficient user interfaces for supporting setting operations and confirmation of the depth of field have not yet been provided. If these supports are properly performed, desired depth of field can be easily set. Contents of the i...
