SURROUND VIEW
A system on a chip (SoC) includes a digital signal processor (DSP) and a graphics processing unit (GPU) coupled to the DSP. The DSP is configured to receive a stream of received depth measurements and generate a virtual bowl surface based on the stream of received depth measurements. The DSP is also configured to generate a bowl to physical camera mapping based on the virtual bowl surface. The GPU is configured to receive a first texture and receive a second texture. The GPU is also configured to perform physical camera to virtual camera transformation on the first texture and on the second texture, based on the bowl to physical camera mapping, to generate an output image.
Method for determining misalignment of a vehicular camera
A method for determining misalignment of a vehicular camera includes equipping a vehicle with a vehicular vision system having an electronic control unit and a plurality of cameras disposed at the vehicle so that each camera has a respective field of view exterior of the vehicle. Responsive to processing at the electronic control unit of received vehicle data during driving of the vehicle, the vehicular vision system determines a vehicle motion vector during driving of the vehicle. Frames of image data captured by the plurality of cameras are processed to determine an object motion vector of a detected object based on positions of the detected object in frames of image data captured by the camera. The determined object motion vector is compared to the determined vehicle motion vector to determine via the vehicular vision system that the camera of the plurality of cameras is misaligned.
APPARATUSES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CLASSIFYING DIGITAL IMAGES
The present disclosure is directed to apparatuses, systems and methods for automatically classifying digital images of occupants inside a vehicle. More particularly, the present disclosure is directed to apparatuses, systems and methods for automatically classifying digital images of occupants inside a vehicle by comparing current image data to previously classified image data.
Vehicle vision system with smart camera video output
A vision system for a vehicle includes at least one camera disposed at a vehicle and having an image sensor operable to capture image data. A display is operable to display video images for viewing by a driver of the vehicle during normal operation of the vehicle. A first system on chip (SoC) receives captured image data and processes the received captured image data for machine vision. The first SoC, responsive to image processing of the received captured image data, generates an output for a driver assistance system of the vehicle. A second system on chip (SoC) receives captured image data and communicates the image data to the display.

Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and image processing system
The present technology relates to an image processing apparatus, an image processing method, and an image processing system enabling the presentation of more useful information. An image in a viewpoint direction corresponding to the state of an object is generated from a captured image. Alternatively, an image of the periphery of the object is captured at a wide angle, and then an image obtained by projecting a part of the wide-angle captured image thus obtained onto a plane in a viewpoint direction corresponding to the state of the object is displayed. For example, an image of the periphery of an object is captured at a wide angle, an image in a viewpoint direction corresponding to the state of the object is generated from the obtained captured image, and the generated image is displayed.
Window Defect Sensing And Image Processing
Various embodiments relate to sensing defects associated with a window. Furthermore, various embodiments relate to performing image processing to produce a corrected image of a scene based at least partly on data corresponding to the detected defects. In some examples, one or more lighting modules may be used to illuminate the window to facilitate detection of the defects by one or more sensor devices.
Work-implement external-shape measurement system, work-implement external-shape display system, work-implement control system and work machine
A measurement controller (20): computes the position of a plane (S1) representing a side surface of a work implement (1A) in an image-capturing-device coordinate system (Co1) on the basis of an image of the side surface of the work implement captured by an image-capturing device (19) and an internal parameter of the image-capturing device; computes the coordinate values of a point on the work implement in the image-capturing-device coordinate system (Co1), the point corresponding to any pixel constituting the work implement on the captured image, on the basis of positional information on the pixel on the captured image and the position of the plane (S1); and converts the coordinate values of the point on the work implement in the image-capturing-device coordinate system, the point corresponding to the pixel, to coordinate values in a work-implement coordinate system (Co3) to output the coordinate values in the work-implement coordinate system (Co3) to a work-machine controller (50) of a hydraulic excavator (1).
