The present technology relates to an image-capturing apparatus, a control method, and a program that make it possible to easily provide an image suitable for the operation of a vehicle.

The controller controls reading of an image from an image sensor that captures the image, on the basis of vehicle information acquired by a vehicle, the image being displayed on a display section of the vehicle. For example, the present technology is applicable to a viewing system that displays an image of a region behind a vehicle.

A partial image generating device has a processor configured to generate a partial image from an image in which the environment surrounding a vehicle has been photographed using an imaging device provided in the vehicle, and to assess whether or not the road represented in the image is straight. The processor is configured so that, when it has been assessed that the road represented in the image is straight, it generates a partial image by cutting out a first region in the image that is estimated to contain the road, based on the vanishing point of the road, and when it has assessed that the road represented in the image is not straight, it generates a partial image by cutting out a second region in the image determined based on the type of the vehicle.

According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a memory having computer executable components stored therein; and a processing circuit communicatively coupled to the memory. The processing circuit acquires a plurality of pieces of observation information of surroundings of a moving body, generates a plurality of pieces of attribute information of the surroundings of the moving body on the basis of the plurality of pieces of observation information, and sets a reliability of the attribute information of the surroundings of the moving body on the basis of correlation of the plurality of pieces of attribute information.

Aspects described herein relate to methods and systems for obtaining geographic position data for features that are captured through a device using a relative coordinate system, such as an optical sensor on a vehicle travelling along a route. The relative positions of the features are transformed into geographic positions by first establishing a spatial relationship between the relative coordinate system and a geographic coordinate system. Once the spatial relationship is known, it can be used to match a number of the features captured in the relative coordinate system to features having a known position within the geographic coordinate system, preferably, features that are known to have an accurately measured geographic position. The matched features can then be used as tie points between the relative coordinate system and the geographic coordinate system, and then used to transform unmatched features in the relative coordinate system to positions in the geographic coordinate system.

Disclosed is a mobile terminal that provides an augmented reality navigation screen in a state of being hold in a vehicle, the mobile terminal including: at least one camera configured to obtain a front image; a display; and at least one processor configured to calibrate the front image, and to drive an augmented reality navigation application so that the augmented reality navigation screen including at least one augmented reality (AR) graphic object and the calibrated front image is displayed on the display.

A method for automatically controlling a display system for a work vehicle having a first implement supported at a first end of a chassis, a second implement supported at a second end of the chassis, and a chair that is selectively movable between a first position oriented toward the first end of the work vehicle and a second position oriented toward the second end of the work vehicle. The method may include receiving an input indicative of a position of the chair and an input indicative of an operating state of the work vehicle. Additionally, the method may include controlling a display device to display image data from an imaging device associated with a first portion of a worksite or a second portion of the worksite based at least in part on the position of the chair and the operating state of the work vehicle.

An image acquisition unit acquires camera images obtained by cameras, which are configured to photograph a periphery of the vehicle. An image synthesizing unit projects data of the camera images on a virtual projection surface, which corresponds to the periphery of the vehicle, and forms a synthetic image showing the periphery of the vehicle, which is viewed from a virtual view point, by using the data projected on the projection surface. A travelling-environment determination unit determines whether a travelling environment of the vehicle is an off-road or an on-road based on a signal from an other on-board device of the vehicle. The image synthesizing unit is configured to change a shape of the projection surface, which is for forming the synthetic image, according to whether the travelling-environment determination unit determines that the travelling environment is an off-road.

Described examples relate to an apparatus comprising one or more image sensors coupled to a vehicle and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to capture, in a burst sequence using the one or more image sensors, multiple frames of an image of a scene, the multiple frames having respective, relative offsets of the image across the multiple frames and perform super-resolution computations using the captured, multiple frames of the image of the scene. The at least one processor may also be configured to accumulate, based on the super-resolution computations, color planes and combine, using the one or more processors, the accumulated color planes to create a super-resolution image of the scene.

A vehicle display control device includes: a locus determination unit determining a predicted locus of a wheel of a subject vehicle according to a steering angle of the subject vehicle; and a display processing unit displaying an image of a field view of the subject vehicle including a vehicle body of the subject vehicle on a display device, and the display processing unit superimposes the guide line indicating the predicted locus determined by the locus determination unit on the image of the field view regardless of the steering angle of the subject vehicle, while semi-transparently displaying a portion of the guide line which overlaps with the vehicle body, thereby allowing visibility of the vehicle body.

To provide a display control device and the like that enable a passenger to perform, free from a feeling of strangeness, an operation of displaying an image shot before or after an image being displayed by an operator when an image in which an outside of a moving body is shot is displayed in the moving body. The display control device displays images obtained by shooting the outside of a moving body in the moving body, detects the direction of movement of the moving body, switches, in accordance with the movement direction, the first operation between to be a forward operation of displaying an image shot after an image being displayed and to be a rewind operation of displaying an image shot before an image being displayed, displays an image in accordance with the forward operation or the rewind operation.
