This application provides image processing methods and apparatuses that may be applied to vehicles such as an intelligent vehicle, a new energy vehicle, a connected vehicle, and an intelligent driving vehicle. An example image processing method includes: obtaining a current frame image, where the current frame image includes a flickering line; determining, based on the current frame image, an interference source frequency that causes the flickering line; and adjusting an exposure time of a next frame based on the interference source frequency to obtain a next frame image that does not include a flickering line.

An apparatus includes a reference coordinate selection unit configured to select reference coordinates of two points from a focus frame area set by a setting unit, and determines arrangement intervals of focus frames based on coordinates on image data before correction corresponding to the coordinates selected by the reference coordinate selection unit and a number of focus frames.

Protection system for an optical sensor in a motor vehicle and for detecting an environment of the motor vehicle is provided, wherein the protection system comprises at least one cover for the optical sensor, which can be brought into a cover position in which the optical sensor is protected from environmental influences by the at least one cover. The protection system comprises a storage device for a plurality of covers, from which at least one cover can be moved into the cover position.

An image pickup apparatus that enables to quickly capture an image from which a predetermined reflected light component is removed with desired sensitivity. A polarizing filter two-dimensionally arranges a plurality of sets each of which includes polarizing filter elements having different polarization directions. A first image sensor has pixels that respectively correspond to polarizing filter elements of the polarizing filter. A polarization calculation unit detects a polarized component of light that enters into a region in which one set of polarizing filter elements are arranged based on signals output from pixels in the region of the first image sensor for each region. A correction unit corrects a pixel signal output from a pixel of a second image sensor corresponding to the region based on a calculation result by the polarization calculation unit for each pixel of the second image sensor.

A device includes an offset subtraction unit; an image sensor which receives, for each of a plurality of bright frames, a respective image signal obtained during a respective exposure time of the image sensor, and transmits the same to the offset subtraction unit, and receives, for a dark frame, a respective image signal obtained during a respective exposure time of the image sensor, and transmits the same to the offset subtraction unit; and a control unit which ensures that the image sensor alternately transmits a number of bright frames and one dark frame to the offset subtraction unit. An amount of light by which the respective image signal for each of the bright frames is generated is larger than an amount of light by which the respective image signal for the dark frame is generated; and the offset subtraction unit obtains an offset and subtracts the offset from a signal.

When a controller controls a driver so as to move a moving unit in accordance with a user's movement, the controller controls a video signal processor such that frame videos of a video signal transmitted to an image display device have a first display mode. When the controller controls the driver so as to move the moving unit regardless of the user's movement, the controller controls the video signal processor such that frame videos of a video signal transmitted to the image display device have a second display mode.
