Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for imaging an image on a staircase-like surface with at least two partial surfaces which run transversely to a visual axis and are offset relative to one another along the visual axis, and to a staircase on which an image is depicted.
  • Such a method and such a staircase are known, for example, from department stores and sports stadiums.
  • a picture is put up on each seating surface, which in a department store can be a lettering with the name of the department store or a reference such as “To the children's department” and in a sports stadium the specification of the row of seats in a grandstand the partial surfaces of the set surfaces of the stairs and the line of sight runs essentially horizontally through the eyes of a person standing in front of the stairs leading upwards.
  • a disadvantage of these known methods and stairs is that the maximum size of the image is defined by the size and shape of a single seating area, so that the height of the image is limited to the step height of the stairs, which is usually approximately 18 cm.
  • this object is achieved by the steps that: an eye point is selected which lies on the visual axis in front of the partial surfaces; the image is divided into partial images that are assigned to the partial areas by projecting it onto the partial areas starting from the eye point; and each drawing image is mapped onto its assigned area.
  • this object is achieved by the steps that: an eye point is selected which lies on the visual axis in front of the partial surfaces; the image is subdivided into partial images which are assigned to the partial areas in such a way that the first partial image which is assigned to the first partial area closest to the eye point is changed according to a predetermined scale, and that each further partial image is relative to the first Partial image is enlarged in accordance with the distance of its partial area assigned to it from the eye point; and each drawing image is mapped onto its assigned area.
  • the set areas are available for the illustration in these two variants, which together form a total area, the height of which corresponds to the sum of the individual set area heights.
  • the image can therefore be displayed on a larger scale relative to the known method.
  • the perspective distortion, more precisely reduction, which is noticeable to the eye of a viewer is compensated for.
  • the result is that the set surfaces are offset relative to one another along the line of sight and are therefore at different distances from the eye point.
  • the seating area of the lowest, first step is closer to the eye point than the seating area of the second step by the step depth, which is usually about 27 cm, which in turn is closer to the eye point than the seating area of the third step by the step depth Level, etc.
  • the eye point is the starting point for the image of the image on the stair-like surface or on the partial surfaces, and thus defines the position from which a viewer perceives the image with the least perspective distortions. It is chosen according to the respective circumstances, and can, if the partial areas are the setting areas of a staircase in a department store, for example at eye level of an average customer, ie at about 1.70 m high, and in a horizontal one Distance to the seating area at this height of about 3 m.
  • the image is subdivided into the partial areas with the aid of a central projection.
  • the image is subdivided into the partial areas with the aid of enlargement scales, which result from the geometric relationships of the individual case, in particular the different distances of the partial areas from the eye point.
  • magnification scale of a partial image relative to the first partial image is equal to the quotient from the distance of its assigned partial area from the eye point and the distance of the first partial area from the eye point.
  • the surface is formed by the surface of a staircase.
  • the staircase is an escalator, or that the staircase lies in a grandstand of a sports stadium or an event hall.
  • the partial surfaces are formed by the setting surfaces of the steps, or that the partial surfaces are formed by the tread surfaces of the steps.
  • the eye point is defined by the position of a camera.
  • the partial images are preferably generated by subdividing the image with the aid of a computing device.
  • the above-mentioned object is achieved in the staircase according to a first variant in that: the image is subdivided into partial images which are assigned to the setting surfaces and are depicted on the setting surfaces assigned to them; and each partial image is enlarged relative to the lowermost partial image in accordance with the horizontal distance of its associated setting surface from the lowest setting surface.
  • this task is solved in the case of the stairs in that: the image is subdivided into partial images which are assigned to the step surfaces and are depicted on the step surfaces assigned to them; and each partial image is enlarged relative to the uppermost partial image in accordance with the vertical distance of its tread surface assigned to it from the uppermost tread surface.
  • the first variant concerns the use of the seating area of a staircase. This can be in the field of view of a viewer who, for example, is climbing the stairs, or a television camera, which is attached to the ceiling of an event hall, for example.
  • the second variant concerns the use of the steps of a staircase. This can be in the field of view of a viewer who is, for example, climbing the stairs, or a television camera, which is attached, for example, to a grandstand in a sports stadium and is directed towards the opposite grandstand.
  • the magnification scale of a partial image is equal to the quotient of the sum of the horizontal distance of its associated setting area from the lowest setting area and the horizontal distance of the lowest setting area from a predetermined eye point lying in front of the stairs and the horizontal distance the lowest setting area from the eye point.
  • magnification scale of a partial image is equal to the quotient of the sum of the vertical distance of its associated step surface from the top step surface and the vertical distance of the top step surface from a predetermined eye point lying above the stairs and the vertical distance the top step from the eye point.
  • the staircase is an escalator, or that the staircase lies in a grandstand of a sports stadium or an event hall.
  • the eye point is defined by the position of a camera.
  • the step-like surface has at least one rear partial surface, which from the point of view of the eye is offset behind a front partial surface in such a way that a region of the rear partial surface is covered by the front partial surface, and that this covered region of the rear partial area is not used for imaging the partial image assigned to the rear partial area.
  • the step-like surface has at least one rear partial surface, which from the point of view of the eye is offset behind a front partial surface in such a way that a region of the rear partial surface is covered by the front partial surface, and that this covered region of the rear partial area is not used for imaging the partial image assigned to the rear partial area.
  • the vertical distance Gj_! is determined by the following formula: where: h is the height of the seating surface of the stairs, and
  • H is the vertical distance between the line of sight and the lower landing; and the horizontal distance Wj.j is determined by the following formula: where: X A is the horizontal distance between the top of the first stage seating surface and the eye point.
  • the staircase has at least one rear partial surface which, from the point of view of the eye, is offset behind a front partial surface in such a way that a region of the rear partial surface is covered by the front partial surface, and that this covered region of the rear Partial area is not used for mapping the partial image assigned to the rear partial area.
  • - the vertical distance G ⁇ i is determined by the following formula: where: h is the height of the seating surface of the stairs, and
  • H is the vertical distance between the line of sight and the lower landing; and - the horizontal distance ⁇ N ⁇ -i is determined by the following formula: where: X A is the horizontal distance between the top of the first stage seating surface and the eye point.
  • FIG. 1 shows an image in the original state which is to be imaged on the steps of a staircase
  • FIG. 2 is a side view of a staircase on the steps of which the image of FIG. 1 is shown;
  • FIG. 3 shows the partial images which are arranged one above the other in a plane
  • FIG. 4 is a central perspective front view of the stairs of FIG. 2, as it appears to an eye in the eye point; and
  • FIG. Fig. 5 is a side view of a staircase, on the steps of which an image is imaged according to another method.
  • FIG. 1 is an image 10, which here is simply a square with its two diagonals, in its original state, which is to be mapped onto the setting surfaces 11 of three adjacent steps 12, 13, 14 of a conventional staircase.
  • the previously selected eye point AP is only to be regarded as an example and can be changed as required.
  • the image 10 as shown in FIG. 2 can be seen, arranged at right angles to the visual axis A, which here corresponds to the horizontal connecting line between the eye point AP and the center M of the tenth setting surface 11.10, in such a way that the visual rays S und t en emanating from the eye point AP point to the lower one
  • the individual image points can be projected onto the stair-like total area starting from the eye point AP, whereby the image 10 is divided into three partial images 10.1, 10.2, 10.3: the first partial image 10.1 is created by those visual rays that both the image 10 and the ninth setting surface 11.9 cut, the second partial image 10.2 is created by those lines of sight that intersect both the image 10 and the tenth setting surface 11.10, and the third partial image 10.3 results from those lines of sight that intersect both the image 10 and the eleventh setting surface 11.11.
  • these three partial images 10.1-10.3 are arranged one above the other for better comparison, so that they match well with the one shown in FIG. 1 shown image 10 can be compared in the original state.
  • all three partial images 10.1-10.3 have the same height, which is determined by the height h of the three setting surfaces 11.9-11.11, but have different widths. This is due to the different horizontal distances of the three setting surfaces from the eye point AP (hereinafter also referred to as “eye point distances”), so that in the previously described projection the beam set applies, after which the magnification scale with which the image 10 is projected onto a setting surface 11 is equal to the quotient from the eye point distance of this set area 11 and the eye point distance X Q of the image 10.
  • the relative scale of a partial image to the first is equal to the quotient from the eye point distance of this partial image and the eye point distance of the first partial image 10.1.
  • the image 10 is not to be displayed on the seating surfaces 11, but on the tread surfaces 19 of the steps, then an eye point can be selected which lies above these tread surfaces 19 and corresponds, for example, to the position of the lens of a television camera.
  • FIG. 5 shows a staircase in which the image 10 is shown on the setting surfaces 11.2, 11.3, 11.4 and 11.5 of the second to fifth stages, counted from the first, lowest stage 16.
  • the method used here for the illustration builds on the methods described above in connection with the staircase of FIG. 2 have been described.
  • the starting point for this supplementary method is the knowledge that, in the case of stair-like surfaces, an at least partial concealment of a partial surface can occur due to a partial surface closer to the eye point AP.
  • This concealment effect which can also be referred to as a shading effect, is easy, for example, in the case of the stairs in FIG. 5:
  • the total stair-like area used for the illustration consists of the second to fifth seating area 11.2-11.5, of which the second seating area 11.2 lies completely below the visual axis A, the third seating area 11.3 lies on the visual axis A and is cut by it and the fourth and fifth seating areas 11.4 and 11.5 lie completely above the visual axis A.
  • the total area has at least one rear partial area - namely the two setting areas 11.4 and 11.5 - which, from the perspective of the eye point AP, is offset behind a front partial area - namely the setting areas 11.3 and 11.4 - in such a way that an area 20 of the rear partial area 11.4 / 11.5 is covered by the respective front partial surface 11.3 / 11.4. Since the hidden areas 20 cannot be seen from the eye point AP, it is provided in accordance with the supplemented method that they are not used for imaging the partial images 10.3, 10.4 assigned to the respective rear partial surface 11.4, 11.5.
  • FIG. 5 also clearly shows that the concealed areas 20 of the rear setting surfaces 11.4 and 11.5 are each delimited at their upper edge by visual rays which intersect the upper edge of the respectively next front setting surface 11.3 and 11.4.
  • the stairs here have steps with straight front edges, which are also the upper edges of the setting surfaces 11, so that the hidden areas 20 are horizontal, right-angled strips at the lower edge of the rear setting surfaces 11.4, 11.5.
  • G3 is the vertical distance between the upper edge of the third seating surface 11.3 and the visual axis A
  • W3 is the horizontal distance between the upper edge of the third seating surface 11.3 and the eye point AP.
  • Gj_ ⁇ the vertical distance between the upper edge of the next front seating surface ll. (I-l) and the visual axis
  • A is, and
  • Wj_ ⁇ is the horizontal distance between the upper edge of the next front setting surface ll. (I-l) and the eye point AP.
  • H is the vertical distance between the line of sight A and the lower landing 15; and for the horizontal distance W3 of the third setting surface 11.3: where: X A is the horizontal distance between the top edge of the seating surface of the first step 16 and the eye point A.
  • the formulas explained above can thus be used to calculate the size of the hidden areas 20, which can preferably be done with the aid of a computing device. From the hidden areas 20, the size of the areas required for the imaging of the partial images 10.3, 10.4 on the rear setting surfaces 11.4, 11.5 can also be calculated in a simple manner, which can preferably be done with the aid of a computing device.
