An image processing apparatus is described comprising a first acquisition unit configured to acquire image data from an image capturing apparatus and a second acquisition unit configured to acquire display installation information indicating a configuration of one or more display screens in a display installation to be simulated. A generation unit is provided to generate, based on the display installation information and the acquired image data, a simulation image that simulates display of the image on the display installation. A display control unit is provided to display the simulation image on a display device.

A vehicular camera monitoring system includes a pair of rearward viewing cameras disposed at a vehicle with overlapping fields of view. A driver-monitoring camera is disposed at the vehicle. An ECU includes an image processor that processes image data captured by the driver-monitor camera and the rearward viewing cameras. A stereographic video display screen is disposed at the vehicle and viewable by the driver of the vehicle. Responsive to processing of image data captured by the driver-monitoring camera, the ECU determines location of each eye of the driver of the vehicle. Responsive to processing of image data captured by each of the rearward viewing cameras, the stereographic video display screen displays video images derived at least in part from image data captured by both rearward viewing cameras and provides depth perception to the driver of the vehicle viewing the displayed video images.

Methods, apparatus and systems for geometric matching of virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) output contemporaneously with video output formatted for display on a 2D screen include a determination of value sets that when used in image processing cause an off-screen angular field of view of the at least one of the AR output object or the VR output object to have a fixed relationship to at least one of the angular field of view of the onscreen object or of the 2D screen. The AR/VR output object is outputted to an AR/VR display device and the user experience is improved by the geometric matching between objects observed on the AR/VR display device and corresponding objects appearing on the 2D screen.

To allow an observer wearing stereoscopic equipment to perceive a stereo image and an observer not wearing stereoscopic equipment to perceive a clear image. Based on an original image, an image containing phase-modulated components a and an image containing phase-modulated components b are generated. The image containing phase-modulated components a and the image containing phase-modulated components b are for one who sees the original image or a subject represented by the original image and the image containing phase-modulated components a with one eye and sees the original image or the subject and the image containing phase-modulated components b with the other eye to perceive a stereo image, and one who sees the original image or the subject, the image containing phase-modulated components a, and the image containing phase-modulated components b with the same eye(s) to perceive the original image. The phase-modulated components a are generated by shifting the phase of spatial frequency components of the original image by a first phase, and the phase-modulated components b are generated by shifting the phase of the spatial frequency components of the original image by a second phase being a different phase than the first phase.

A multiview autostereoscopic display includes a display area including an array of angular pixels, an eye tracker, and a processing system. Each angular pixel emits color that varies across a field of view of that angular pixel. The array of angular pixels displays different views in different viewing zones across the field of view of the display. The eye tracker detects the presence of the eyes of at least one viewer within specific viewing zones and produces eye tracking information including locations of the detected eyes within the specific viewing zones. The processing system renders a specific view for each detected eye based upon the location of the detected eye within the viewing zone with detected eyes, and generates control information for the array of angular pixels to cause the specific view for each detected eye to be displayed in the viewing zone in which that eye was detected.

An image display apparatus and a method thereof. The image display apparatus includes: a display; a processor; a memory including a first buffer and a second buffer; and at least one program stored in the memory and executed by the processor. The instructions included in the program cause the processor to perform graphics processing on a first image, convert an attribute of the graphics-processed first image, generate an on screen display (OSD) image and control the memory to store the OSD image in the second buffer, perform image quality processing on the first image of which the attribute is converted, and control the display to display the image-quality-processed first image and the OSD image.

A display apparatus includes an image projector and a controller. The image projector emits image projection light that projects an image onto a projection-target surface. The controller controls, in a time division manner, the emission direction of the image projection light emitted by the image projector. The controller performs control to prevent the sum of the area of one or more regions of the projection-target surface, on which the image projection light is projected, from exceeding a predetermined upper limit.
