An image generating apparatus includes an acquiring unit configured to acquire a captured image of a road, a region extraction unit configured to extract an image of a trapezoidal region is enclosed by two vanishing lines which are converged to a vanishing point in a depth direction of the captured image and two parallel lines which respectively intersect with the two vanishing lines from the captured image, a transformation unit configured to transform the image of the trapezoidal region into an image of a rectangular region using a geometric transformation model which transforms the trapezoidal region extracted by the region extraction unit into the rectangular region, and a generation unit configured to generate an image for enlarging and displaying a moving body or a structure on the road present at a distant view part of the captured image based on the transformed image having the rectangular region.

A periphery monitoring apparatus includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire first image data that is captured by a first imaging unit provided on a left side of a vehicle body, and second image data that is captured by a second imaging unit provided on a right side of the vehicle body; and an output unit configured to combine third image data which is generated by rotating, and magnifying or minifying the first image data in such a way that a plurality of left reference points included in the first image data are respectively displayed at pre-set positions, and fourth image data which is generated by rotating, and magnifying or minifying the second image data in such a way that a plurality of right reference points included in the second image data are respectively displayed at pre-set positions, and to output the combined image data.

Architecture that summarizes a large amount (e.g., thousands of miles) of street-level image/video data of different perspectives and types (e.g., continuous scan-type data and panorama-type data) into a single view that resembles aerial imagery. Polygons surfaces are generated from the scan patterns and the image data is projected onto the surfaces, and then rendered into the desired orthographic projection. The street-level data is processed using a distributed computing approach across cluster nodes. The collection is processed into image tiles on the separate cluster nodes representing an orthographic map projection that can be viewed at various levels of detail. Map features such as lower-level roads, that are at lower elevations than higher-level roads, and are hidden by higher-level overpassing roads, can be navigated in the map. With the summarized data, the maps can be navigated and zoomed efficiently.

A method for providing imagery to a user on a display includes receiving eye tracking data. The method also includes determining a current gaze location and a relative distance between the current gaze location and an edge of the display using the eye tracking data. The method also includes defining a first tile centered at the current gaze location and multiple tiles that surround the first tile using the current gaze location and the relative distance between the current gaze location and the edge of the display. The method includes providing a foveated rendered image using the first tile and the multiple tiles.

A method performed by an electronic device is described. The method includes obtaining a first image from a first camera, the first camera having a first focal length and a first field of view. The method also includes obtaining a second image from a second camera, the second camera having a second focal length and a second field of view disposed within the first field of view. The method further includes aligning at least a portion of the first image and at least a portion of the second image to produce aligned images. The method additionally includes fusing the aligned images based on a diffusion kernel to produce a fused image. The diffusion kernel indicates a threshold level over a gray level range. The method also includes outputting the fused image. The method may be performed for each of a plurality of frames of a video feed.

A method includes using a camera to monitor a direction of focus of at least one eye of a person, wherein the person is facing the camera and a display screen, and determining an area of the display screen that is a central focus area based on the direction of focus of the at least one eye of the person. The method further includes obtaining an image to be displayed on the display screen, wherein the image has a first portion to be displayed within the central focus area and a second portion to be displayed outside the central focus area. Still further, the method includes displaying the first portion of the image using a first image resolution, and displaying the second portion of the image using a second image resolution, wherein the second image resolution is lower than the first image resolution.

A construction machine is equipped with a plurality of monitor cameras that capture the area surrounding a body of the machine. An image processor generates a synthetic bird's eye view image by synthesizing the plural camera images captured by each monitor camera into one. The image processor divides the synthetic bird's eye view image using one or more section lines into plural areas A, B, C, D, and expands the image size for area D corresponding to a blind spot behind and to the right side of the machine. At the same time, the image processor reduces the image size of the remaining areas A, B, C by a corresponding amount, in order to thereby generate a conversion image 60 which is the same overall size as the synthetic bird's eye view image while maintaining a complete view of the area surrounding the machine from all of the cameras. A monitor selectively displays either the synthetic bird's eye view image or the conversion image to the operator.

According to one embodiment, a display control device includes an image acquirer that acquires captured image data output from an imager that captures an image of a surrounding of a vehicle, and a display processor that displays an image of the captured image data, the image being transformed so that a corner image is moved to outside of a display region at a ratio greater than that of an image of another part, on a display.

Disclosed are a terminal and operating method thereof. The present invention includes obtaining an input for selecting at least one video, displaying a polyhedron displaying a preview image of the selected at least one video on each of a plurality of faces, obtaining an input for selecting at least one of a plurality of the faces included in the displayed polyhedron, and outputting a video corresponding to the selected face.

Disclosed is a video processor for a magnifier camera. In particular, the disclosure relates to a video processor that eliminates the use of a frame buffer. This, in turn, reduces the latency otherwise present in the video signal. The disclosed video processor also allows selected portions of the display to be shaded. This highlights the non-shaded portions of the display while at the same time allowing the entire object to be perceived by the user.
