Image processing apparatus and output information control method

An apparatus and a method are achieved in which guide information for enabling a high-quality composite image to be captured is output. Included are a composite image generation unit that performs a process of combining a color image and a black-and-white image captured from different viewpoints, to generate a composite image, and a display information control unit that performs control such that auxiliary information regarding the composite image is displayed on a display unit. In a case where a subject is too close or in a case where a high-quality composite image cannot be generated due to an obstacle, the display information control unit outputs a proximity alert or an obstacle alert as warning information, and also displays a composite image adaptation level. Moreover, a composite image, a color image, and the like are displayed in parallel so that a user can select an image to be recorded.

PREDICTIVE FIELD-OF-VIEW (FOV) AND CUEING TO ENFORCE DATA CAPTURE AND TRANSMISSION COMPLIANCE IN REAL AND NEAR REAL TIME VIDEO
20230131642 · 2023-04-27 ·

To prevent the capture and transmission of excluded data, the current pose and motion of a video camera are used to predict a pose and predicted FOV for the video camera over one or more future frames. The predicted pose and predicted FOV are used to generate cues to enforce an alignment condition to an allowed object or to prevent capture of a disallowed object. If the cues fail, an interrupt is generated to prevent capture of disallowed objects in the video signal and perhaps to deactivate the video camera. The predicted FOV prevents excluded data from entering the video signal and reaching circuitry or being processed downstream of the video camera. This can be implemented in real or near real time.
