Image capturing apparatus

Abstract

The present invention provides an image capturing apparatus which captures moving images using a head mounted camera, records the obtained moving image data in a disk drive unit by dividing the moving image data into multiple blocks, records program chain information indicating the playback sequence of this moving image data, elapsed time relative from the time when the moving image data of each block is shot, biological information such as line-of-sight direction information detected simultaneously with the moving image data, the angular velocity information of the head, and the like, and information for detecting elapsed time relative from the time when this biological information is detected, in the disk drive unit, and automatically subjects the moving image data to editing such as cutting, blurring correction, zooming, electronic zooming, or the like based on the recorded biological information.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an imaging device, in particular to an imaging device capable of dividing dynamic image data into a plurality of blocks for recording. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, a display device worn on the head for image observation, an imaging device worn on the head for imaging, or a device having both functions are known. [0003] For example, the head-mounted display device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-240889 displays images captured by a TV camera device on a display device mounted on the head so that it can be observed while shooting, and at the same time it can be set on the display device by operation. The control switch of the TV camera device can selectively introduce the external light transmitted through the display device as required. [0004] In addition, the image recording device described in Japanese Unexamined Publication No. 11-164186 can capture images in the same dir...

Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, in the structure where the imaging unit is set in the personal liquid crystal projector, the displayed image and the transmitted object can be introduced into the field of view at the same time, but because the attention must be focused on the displayed image when taking pictures , so it is still difficult for photographers to enjoy the fun of activities, etc.

[0009] In this way, it is difficult to perform the same natural actions as people other than the photographer when taking pictures using the above-mentioned technology, and it is difficult to be constrained by the shooting action or feel the burden of shooting.

[0010] In addition, the conventional technology uses a cable to connect the device worn on the head and other devices, so there are various inconveniences such as the cable being tangled when carrying it, or the cable becoming an obstacle when moving.
