At this time, the photo edited by the user appears in its final form on the display unit, and the user You can see the final result that reflects your creative work.

Through this process, users can check the photos they have selected and edited in real time and proceed with additional editing or confirm the final photo depending on their satisfaction.

When the control unit 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention receives a user input for selecting an automatic conversion item for a person image included in an edit item, the control unit 130 identifies the person image included in the plurality of image data as a face portion and a body portion. , Age selection items that allow the face to be edited into multiple age groups corresponding to the face may be displayed on the display unit.

For example, after taking a photo of the user, if the user wants to change the appearance of the person in the photo to various age groups, the user selects the 'age range conversion' function through the user input unit, and the control unit that receives this selects the photo of the person in the photo. Automatically distinguishes and identifies a person's face (facial area) and body (body part).

Once identification is completed, the control unit displays age selection items on the display unit from which various age groups (e.g., 20s, 30s, 40s, etc.) can be selected, and the user can select one or multiple age groups among them.

When the control unit 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention receives a user input for selecting a first age group among a plurality of age groups, the control unit 130 may edit the facial part into a first changed facial part reflecting the first age group and display it on the display unit. .

For example, if a user takes a photo in a photo booth and wants to change his or her face to look like someone in their 60s using the age selection option, the user selects 60s from the age options displayed on the display unit, and the control unit selects the photo recognizes the person's face and edits the facial area to reflect the age characteristics of people in their 60s. At this time, editing may include changes in skin texture, wrinkles, and facial expressions.

Afterwards, when editing is completed, the control unit creates a final image by reflecting the changed face (first altered facial area) in the original photo and displays it on the display unit, allowing the user to check his or her changed appearance and the characteristics of the selected age group. You can see how this is reflected on your face.

This process allows users to apply creative and personalized changes to their photos, providing photo booth users with a unique and personalized photo editing experience.

When receiving a user input for selecting an automatic conversion item for the first background image, the control unit 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention identifies the first background image and determines the location, weather, and time corresponding to the first background image.

For example, if a user selects an image representing the Eiffel Tower in Paris as the background to be photographed in a photo booth and requests detailed information about the image, the user selects the 'background detailed information' function through the user input unit, and the control unit that receives it identifies the selected Eiffel Tower image and collects detailed information about the image.

The control unit analyzes the Eiffel Tower image to obtain information such as the location (Paris, Eiffel Tower), time included in the image (e.g., sunset or night), and weather conditions (e.g., clear, cloudy). Background information can be obtained through analysis of visual elements in the image, metadata analysis, or linking with an external database.

In other words, the obtained background information provides additional context to the user and lays the foundation for the user to request additional customization or editing related to the background. For example, the user can adjust the atmosphere of the photo based on the background information, You can apply effects to photos that match specific times of day or weather conditions.

The control unit can utilize this detailed background information to make the user's photo taking and editing experience richer and more personalized, enhancing the value of using the photo booth.

The control unit 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention crawls an external search engine based on the first background information to search for a first similar image with a preset similarity to the first background information and a first similar image included in the first similar image. The first shooting pose of the person image can be identified.

More specifically, for example, if the user selects a photo with the Eiffel Tower in Paris as the background, the control unit uses an external search engine to search for similar images on the Internet based on this background information (Eiffel Tower, Paris) and searches for similar images on the Internet. In the process, a variety of photos with the Eiffel Tower in the background are retrieved, some of which may contain specific poses that people assume in front of the Tower (e.g., a pose that appears to reach out and 'touch' the Eiffel Tower).

At this time, the control unit can identify a specific pose among these similar images and display this information on the display unit of the photo booth. Through this, the user can refer to the suggested poses and choose more creative and interesting poses when taking their own photos. You can take it. The operation of this control unit makes the photo taking experience richer and more satisfying by suggesting poses that match the background to the user.

When the control unit 130 according to an embodiment of the present invention receives a user input requesting pose information from the user input unit, it can display text information about the first shooting pose on the display unit.

More specifically, for example, if a user wants to take a photo with the Eiffel Tower in Paris in the background in a photo booth and wants to get pose ideas that match this, the user submits a request for pose information through the user input section of the photo booth, and this Upon receiving the request, the control unit displays a text description of the first shooting pose previously identified, for example, 'a pose that looks like reaching out and touching the Eiffel Tower' on the display unit.

Meanwhile, such text information serves as a guideline to help users take appropriate poses, and by referring to this, users can take creative and interesting poses when taking photos. This provides users with a variety of pose options when taking photos. , can contribute to making the photo booth experience more personalized and enjoyable.

The control unit according to an embodiment of the present invention may derive a preset similarity level for the first similar image based on [Equation 1] below.

In [Equation 1] above, e refers to the natural constant that is the base of the natural logarithm, Sc refers to the color similarity score, which is a value that quantifies the color similarity between the first similar image and the background image, and St refers to the color similarity score between the first similar image and the background. It refers to the texture similarity score, which is a value that quantifies the similarity of textures and patterns between images. Sh refers to the histogram similarity score, which is a value that quantifies the similarity of brightness and contrast between the first similar image and the background image. Sl is the first similar image. Sp refers to the layout similarity score, which is a value that quantifies the similarity in the arrangement and spatial composition of objects between the and background images, and Sp refers to the pose similarity score, which is a value that quantifies the pose similarity of the person in each image. That is, [Equation 1] according to the present invention comprehensively considers the similarity in various aspects including color, texture, histogram, layout, and pose between the background image and the first similar image, calculates the total similarity score, and calculates the total similarity score. It is implemented to improve the efficiency and satisfaction of image editing by providing optimal similar images to users.

As an example of the present invention for the variables substituted in [Equation 1], the color similarity score (Sc) compares the similarity for each color channel (RGB), and the closer the colors of the two images are, the closer it is to 1. The more dissimilar the colors, the closer it can be set to 0.1, and the texture similarity score (St) analyzes the texture pattern using a pattern recognition algorithm. The more similar the texture patterns of the two images are, the closer it is to 1, and the more dissimilar they are, the closer it is to 0.1. The histogram similarity score (Sh) can be set close to 0.1 by analyzing the brightness level distribution of the two images, so that the closer the brightness distribution is to 1 and the more dissimilar it is, the layout similarity score (Sl) can be set to The placement and spatial composition of objects are recognized through an image segmentation algorithm, so the more similar the layout is, the closer it is to 1, and the more dissimilar it is, the closer it can be set to 0.1. The pose similarity score (Sp) is a pose estimation algorithm that analyzes the pose of a person. The more similar the pose is, the closer it is to 1, and the more dissimilar the pose is, the closer it is to 0.1. Meanwhile, it goes without saying that such numerical values for dissimilarity and similarity can be determined through a preset pattern or algorithm, or derived through a modified algorithm as needed.

More specifically, in [Equation 1] according to the present invention, the natural index e is given greater weight than other elements for the similarity of color and texture, so that when it is very high or low, it is strongly reflected in the similarity, and the logarithmic function is It serves to identify similar images more objectively by mitigating the impact of very high or low histogram similarity, so that differences in contrast such as color are smoothly adjusted to prevent excessive weighting.

The control unit according to an embodiment of the present invention can recognize the user's emotional state and optimize the environment in the photo booth for the user. For example, when a user enters a photo booth, the control unit uses built-in cameras and sensors to analyze the user's facial expressions, voice tone, and even vital signs such as heart rate. Based on this data, the control unit determines the user's current emotions. Judge the condition.

For example, if the user makes a happy expression, the control unit recommends a bright and lively background image to create a pleasant shooting atmosphere. On the other hand, if the user is judged to be stressed, the control unit creates a calm and comfortable background and a soft shooting atmosphere. By doing so, you can provide a background image customized to the user.

Additionally, the control unit can recommend a pose that matches the user's emotional state. For example, when the user is in an active emotional state, it suggests a dynamic and lively pose, while when the user is in a calm state, it suggests a more static and calm pose.

That is, the control unit of one embodiment according to the present invention determines the user's emotions and status in real time and personalizes the photo booth experience to increase user satisfaction. Through this, the photo booth goes beyond a simple photo taking space and It can be implemented to provide customized experiences that reflect emotions.

When the control unit receives a user input requesting to start taking pictures from the user input unit, the control unit captures the plurality of image data reflecting the first background image through the camera, and selects the first image selected by the user among the plurality of image data. Reflecting the first frame in data and second image data,
The control unit determines the final image data in which the first image data and the second image data have been placed in one area of the first frame, the size of the final image data, the application of a filter, and the design of the first frame. Displays the edit items for which customization is performed on the display unit,
When the control unit receives a user input requesting completion of editing of the edit item from the user input unit, it displays the edited final image data on the display unit,
When the control unit receives a user input for selecting an automatic conversion item for a person image included in the edit item, the control unit identifies the person image included in the plurality of image data as a face part and a body part, and corresponds to the face part Displaying an age selection item on the display unit that allows the face to be edited into multiple age groups,
When the control unit receives a user input for selecting a first age group among the plurality of age groups, the control unit edits the facial part into a first changed facial part reflecting the first age group and displays it on the display unit,
When the control unit receives a user input for selecting an automatic conversion item for the first background image included in the edit item, the control unit identifies the first background image and includes location, weather, and time corresponding to the first background image. Obtain first background information,
The control unit crawls an external search engine based on the first background information to select a first similar image having a preset similarity to the first background information and a first shooting pose of the first person image included in the first similar image. identify,
When the control unit receives a user input requesting pose information from the user input unit, it displays text information about the first shooting pose on the display unit,
The control unit derives the preset similarity for the first similar image based on the following [Equation 1],

In [Equation 1], e refers to the natural constant that is the base of the natural logarithm, Sc refers to the color similarity score, which is a value that quantifies the color similarity between the first similar image and the background image, and St refers to the first similar image. means the texture similarity score, which is a value that quantifies the similarity of textures and patterns between the first similar image and the background image; Sh means the histogram similarity score, which is a value that quantifies the similarity of brightness and contrast between the first similar image and the background image; and Sl means the histogram similarity score. It refers to the layout similarity score, which is a value that quantifies the similarity in the arrangement and spatial composition of objects between the first similar image and the background image, and Sp refers to the pose similarity score, which is a value that quantifies the pose similarity of the person in each image.
