Technical background
Progress along with internet and computer picture input hardware, increasing user makes self-introduction or the purposes of network trading by making up multimedia page, therefore the development of the making of digital picture (as JPG, GIF shelves etc.) and editor's software and hardware is also very fast.The user usually used scanner to scan the photograph that has come out in the past, converted digital image file to and was stored in hard disk.Owing to the general file size of digital image file is about hundreds of KB to counting about MB (visual resolution is decided), a large amount of digital photos is difficult for using the floppy disk access or sees through Network Transmission.After the user often waited until that the digital image file in hard disk is accumulated to some, imprinting became CD again, to backup or to give friend and watch.
Along with day by day popularizing of digital camera and digital VTR, and Nonvolatile memory card (as CF card, Smart Media card etc.) or the capacity of portable dish (thumb driver) increases day by day, increasing user abandons adopting traditional camera to cooperate the mode of scanner gradually, and directly utilizes the captured digital image file of Nonvolatile memory card store digital camera.Yet the specification difference of Nonvolatile memory card, though the calculating punch that can read multiple storage card has been arranged on the market, yet for general computing machine user, discs is still the most universal and data storage medium easily, especially present VCD player is supported the specification of VCD 2.0, except playing general film, still can high resolving power (704 * 480 is full-color) play tableaux.Moreover, the price of Nonvolatile memory card is still very high, therefore the user often needs to delete captured photograph, or at any time photograph is dumped in the hard disk, to reduce memory capacity shared in digital camera, if carry computing machine or be unfamiliar with computing machine imprinting operation yet the user is the inconvenience of going sightseeing, often can only be by the mode of deletion photograph, real be inconvenient.
Therefore if can there be a kind of method easily that the digital image file imprinting of Storage Medias such as Nonvolatile memory card or portable dish is become videodisc (Video CD), then the user can be convenient to use VCD player and watch digital image file, and this digital image file has more portability (portability), also is not easy to use the person and takes to and utilize CD-ROM drive (CD-ROM drive) or the VCD player (Video CD player) popularized to play everywhere.Have again, if the imprinting function is in independent operation (Stand alone) mode, also can be by computer control and the mode that stores by hard disk, and can be directly in real time the digital image file imprinting of Storage Medias such as Nonvolatile memory card or portable dish be become videodisc, then this CD writer need not take bulkiness and can reach specific function, so the utmost point is suitable for not borrowing the user of general imprinting mode to use.
Embodiment
Referring to Fig. 1, be foundation photograph videodisc producing device of the present invention, photograph videodisc producing device 1 of the present invention comprises an interface unit 10, an imprinting unit 20, an internal storage location 30, a controller unit 40, reaches user's operation-interface 50.This photograph videodisc producing device 1 can utilize interface unit 10 to read digital image file in the Nonvolatile memory card (not icon), imprinting unit 20 similar common CD writer (CD recorder), but and can't help computer control, also non-general to strike-machine, but by controller unit 40 controls of the present invention, carry out the imprinting work of real-time specific format, this internal storage location 30 can comprise random access memory part 32, is used for keeping in imprinting program and temporary file; Reach a non-volatile memory part 34, can store a specific imprinting program (seeing the back explanation for details). this controller unit 40 can be a microprocessor, can be according to there being partly 34 specific imprinting program of non-volatile memory, and the imprinting work when carrying out implementation-specific.This user's operation-interface 50 can be an imprinting command key, after the user is connected to photograph videodisc producing device 1 with Nonvolatile memory card by interface unit 10, only need press this button, then the digital image file imprinting in the Nonvolatile memory card can be become videodisc, and the flow process of specific imprinting program, can be referring to the step explanation of Fig. 2.
Referring to Fig. 2, according to photograph videodisc method for making of the present invention, photograph videodisc method for making of the present invention comprises following flow process:
Step 100 reads a medium;
Step 102 is estimated the ISO file parameters for the treatment of the imprinting videodisc;
Step 104 reads the digital image file in the medium in order;
Step 106 decompresses the digital image file that reads respectively and is reduced into storage corresponding form (bitmap);
Step 108 will be stored corresponding form and will be cut into the image size that meets television system;
The corresponding form of storage after step 110 will be cut out is compressed into mpeg format;
Step 112 is burnt to the mpeg format file that produces the address of ISO file parameters appointment;
Is step 120 judged the digital image file whether not imprinting is still arranged in this medium? if, then carry out step 104, if not, then carry out next step 122;
Step 122 finishes imprinting work, and writes CD and derive (lead out) partly, to make a Video CD with computer picture file.
In above-mentioned step 100, storage storage medium can also can be a discs for Portable non-volatile storage medium such as CF card, SmartMedia card or portable dishes.
In above-mentioned step 102, because videodisc is a file system of following ISO 9660MODE 2, at its first rail (first track) is to be used for storing data such as catalogue listing, static images, interactive optical disc application, supporting paper, then is to store WEG film or track at remaining rail.Well-known imprinting software is need be with the data storing of band imprinting in hard disc of computer, with deciding the ISO file parameters of videodisc therewith, as catalogue listing etc.In the present invention,, therefore can guess the number and the form of image file earlier, set up the ISO catalogue listing earlier owing to be in real time with the unit mode imprinting of (promptly not needing hard disk).For example ISO 9660MODE 2 has fixing static picture document form (seeing aftermentioned for details), therefore can preestablish the ISO file parameters according to these data.
In above-mentioned step 106, general medium, as CF card, SmartMedia card, Memory stick (MS), MultiMedia Card (MMC), Secure Digital (SD), xD card or the image storage form of portable dish for the compression image file (as JPG, GIF etc.), in order to be made into the static picture document form that meets ISO 9660 MODE 2, therefore to de-compress into the corresponding form (BMP) of internal memory earlier.
In above-mentioned step 108, because the static picture document form pixel that ISO 9660 MODE 2 support is 704 * 480 (NTSC), 704 * 576 (PAL).For low-resolution mode then is 352 * 240 (NTSC), 352 * 288 (PAL), and wherein NTSC is the system of U.S. RCA Corp. exploitation, and PAL is the system of German moral rule wind root company exploitation.Therefore the image cutting-out that converts the corresponding form of internal memory to be become ISO 9660MODE 2 supported forms.
In above-mentioned step 110, the corresponding form of the internal memory after cutting out is recompressed into mpeg format, so that follow-up imprinting work.
In above-mentioned step 112, the mpeg format file that produces is burnt to the address of I step O file parameters appointment, owing in step 102, guessed the number and the form of image file, therefore in this step, can guess the result according to this, this image file is write in the CD, and because the data that write are discrete data stream, so CD writer must have the function that prevents high speed imprinting mistake (buffer under run), and open this function.
Step 120 item judges in this medium whether also have the not digital image file of imprinting, if still have then be back to that step 104 continues to read and imprinting work.Step 122 an end imprinting job, and write the CD derivation partly, making one has the Video CD of computer picture file.
Moreover referring to shown in Figure 3, the process flow diagram for another instantiation of the present invention comprises the following steps:
Step 200 reads a medium;
Step 202 reads the digital image file in the medium in order;
Step 204 decompresses the digital image file that reads respectively and is reduced into the corresponding form (bitmap) of internal memory;
Step 206 is cut into the image size that meets television system with the corresponding form of internal memory;
The corresponding form of internal memory after step 208 will be cut out is compressed into mpeg format;
Step 210 is estimated the ISO file parameters for the treatment of the imprinting videodisc according to the image size and the medium digital image file population size of this television system, to make the videodisc catalogue listing in advance;
Step 212 is burnt to the mpeg format file that produces the address of ISO file parameters appointment;
Is step 220 judged the digital image file whether not imprinting is still arranged in this medium? if, then carry out step 202, if not, then carry out next step 222.
Step 222 finishes imprinting work, and writes CD derivation (lead out) partly, and making one has the Video CD of computer picture file.
Step and that shown in Figure 2 of this instantiation are similar, still are to carry out the videodisc catalogue listing again after the corresponding form compression work of internal memory after cutting out to make, and therefore can more accurately estimate the ISO file parameters.
In sum, the invention provides a kind of photograph videodisc method for making and device, this device can work alone and not need equipments such as computing machine and hard disk, the user is as long as be connected to this photograph videodisc producing device with storage card, press an imprinting button again, can carry out the imprinting action in real time easily, the Digital Image Data in the storage card is transcribed into videodisc.This independent board can place landscape sight spot or convenience store, and the digital camera user need not carry computing machine or be forced to leave out image file, and backs up captured photograph at any time.
The above only is specific embodiments of the invention, but scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and therefore any those who are familiar with this art are in the field of the invention, and the variation of being implemented or modify all covered in the claim of this case.
