20130002809 | IMAGE GENERATING APPARATUS, SYNTHESIS TABLE GENERATING APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - An image generating apparatus includes an image receiving unit, a projecting unit, and a panoramic image generating unit. The image receiving unit receives camera images captured by a plurality of cameras, the subject of which is common. The projecting unit projects, within each camera image received by the image receiving unit, images which are present below the horizontal line within each camera image on the bottom surface of an infinite hemisphere having a planar bottom surface and projects images which are present above the horizontal line within each camera image on the hemispherical surface of the infinite hemisphere. The panoramic image generating unit generates a panoramic image based on the images projected on the infinite hemisphere by the projecting unit. | 01-03-2013 |

20130141547 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus acquires camera images captured by cameras mounted in a vehicle, specifies a position of each pixel of an image lower than a horizontal line among the acquired camera images on a bottom surface of a virtual projection plane that is a hemisphere of an infinite circle with a planar bottom surface, specifies a position of each pixel of an image higher than the horizontal line on a hemisphere surface of the virtual projection plane, specifies a position of a pixel of each camera images specified on the virtual projection plane on a stereoscopic projection plane, specifies each position on an image frame corresponding to the position of the pixel of each camera images specified on the stereoscopic projection plane based on a predetermined point of view position and renders a value of a pixel of a corresponding camera images at each specified position. | 06-06-2013 |
20140118341 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD - An image processing apparatus synthesize a synthesized image by taking pixel values of pixels in a synthesized image corresponding to each point on the three dimensional projection plane as viewed from a specific viewpoint position, as pixel values of corresponding pixels of the first image based on the first correspondence relationship, and taking pixel values of each pixel in the synthesized image corresponding to pixels identified in the first image as being pixels representing a solid object, as pixel values of corresponding pixels of the second image based on the second correspondence relationship. | 05-01-2014 |
20140139640 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - An image processing apparatus includes a coordinate conversion unit and a drawing unit. The coordinate conversion unit obtains a coordinate of an intersection P | 05-22-2014 |
20150098623 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD - An image processing apparatus that, based on an image imaged by a camera installed on a car and distance to a measurement point on a peripheral object computed by a range sensor installed on the car, draws virtual three-dimensional space in which a surrounding environment around the car is reconstructed. The image processing apparatus includes: an outline computation unit configured to compute an outline of an intersection plane between a plurality of grid planes defined in a predetermined coordinate system and the peripheral object; and an image processing unit configured to draw the outline computed by the outline computation unit on a corresponding peripheral object arranged in the virtual three-dimensional space; and the plurality of grid planes are configured with planes which are perpendicular to an X-axis, a Y-axis and a Z-axis in the predetermined coordinate system, respectively. | 04-09-2015 |
20150103172 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD - An image processing apparatus includes a first field-of-view converting unit configured to convert an image of a first camera, which is equipped in a vehicle and arranged to include a portion of a vehicle body in an image capturing range, into an image having an arbitrary field-of-view within a field-of-view of the first camera; a second field-of-view converting unit configured to convert a blind spot image, which is an image of a second camera capturing an image of a peripheral environment acting as a blind spot by the first camera, into the blind spot image having the same field-of-view as the field-of-view of the image obtained after the conversion by the first converting unit; and a compositing unit configured to compose a region corresponding to the blind spot image obtained by the second converting unit to the region of the vehicle body of the image obtained by the first converting unit. | 04-16-2015 |
20150139499 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD - An image processing apparatus that obtains a synthesized image of a subject viewed from an arbitrary viewpoint includes a calculator, a storage, and a synthesizer. The calculator calculates a correction value for a pixel value of a pixel that partially constitutes the picked-up images on the basis of a brightness of each of the plurality of picked-up images. The storage stores the correction value for each of the pixels. The synthesizer obtains a pixel value of a pixel in the synthesized image that corresponds to the pixel that partially constitutes the picked-up images by correcting a pixel value of the pixel that partially constitutes the picked-up images on the basis of a positional relationship of the pixel in the picked-up images, a correspondence relationship between the picked-up images and the synthesized image, and the correction value, and thereby generates the synthesized image. | 05-21-2015 |
