PROCESSING APPARATUS FOR GENERATING MOVIE, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING CONTROL PROGRAM THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18308119 titled 'PROCESSING APPARATUS FOR GENERATING MOVIE, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING CONTROL PROGRAM THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a processing apparatus that generates a movie where the sounds from different sources are linked to the image being captured.
- The apparatus collects sounds using sound collection devices and captures video images using an image capturing device.
- It obtains position information of the sound sources relative to the image capturing device.
- A control unit determines the estimated standing position where the captured image matches the looking state.
- The control unit also determines the direction and volume of the synthesized sounds based on the estimated standing position.
- The direction of the sound is determined based on the view from the estimated standing position, and the volume increases as the distance to the sound source decreases.
Original Abstract Submitted
A processing apparatus that generates a movie in which hearing states of sounds from sound sources are linked to a looking state of an image during zoom image capturing. Sounds are collected by sound collection devices. A video image is captured by an image capturing device. Position information of a sound source with respect to the image capturing device is obtained. A control unit determines an estimated standing position at which a looking state becomes equivalent to a captured image when an image capturing field angle is changed, and determines a direction and volume in synthesizing the sounds based on the estimated standing position. The control unit determines the direction coincident with a direction of the sound source viewed from the estimated standing position, and determines the volume so as to increase as a distance from the estimated standing position to the sound source decreases.
