A method for enriching a target image, which a target camera system had recorded of a scene, with additional information, with which at least one source image that a source camera system had recorded of the same scene from a different perspective, has already been enriched. The method includes: assigning 3D locations in the three-dimensional space, which correspond to the positions of the source pixels in the source image, to source pixels of the source image; assigning additional information which is assigned to source pixels, to the respective, associated 3D locations; assigning those target pixels of the target image, whose positions in the target image correspond to the 3D locations, to the 3D locations; assigning additional information, which is assigned to 3D locations, to associated target pixels. A method for training a Kl module is also described.

A display control device includes a processor. The processor being configured to: gather a captured image from an imaging section that captures images of outside a vehicle; in a case in which an event notifiable to a driver of the vehicle has been detected based on peripheral information relating to a periphery of the vehicle, generate an interruption image including a captured image relating to the event and information indicating a direction in which the event has arisen relative to the vehicle; and perform processing to display the generated interruption image in a notification region configuring part of a display region of a display device that is visible to the driver of the vehicle.

An image output device outputs a periphery image of a vehicle to a display; acquires a capture image of the periphery; acquires detection information of the periphery; determines an accuracy factor of detection of each object; calculates a position of the object in the capture image; determines whether objects overlap with each other in the capture image; and sets an image transmission region to at least a part of a region displaying a first object disposed on a near side among the objects determined to overlap with each other in the capture image, generates the periphery image for visually confirming a second object disposed on a far side of the first object, and changes a transmittance defined in the image transmission region higher as the accuracy factor of the detection of the second object is higher.

A display control device includes: an image data acquisition unit configured to acquire image data as a result of imaging by an imaging unit that images a situation around a vehicle; and a display processing unit configured to display, on a display unit, a peripheral image indicating the situation around the vehicle generated based on the image data and also display, on the peripheral image, a first vehicle image indicating a current state of the vehicle and a second vehicle image indicating a future state of the vehicle when the vehicle moves toward a target position and to change a display mode of at least one of the first vehicle image and the second vehicle image according to a remaining distance to the target position of the vehicle.

In an image generation apparatus, an image acquisition unit is configured to acquire, from at least one camera operable to capture an image of surroundings of a vehicle, a captured image. A bird's-eye view image generation unit is configured to generate a bird's-eye view image from the captured image. A three-dimensional object recognition unit is configured to recognize a three-dimensional object in the captured image. A superimposition-image acquisition unit is configured to acquire a superimposition image that represents the three-dimensional object recognized by the three-dimensional object recognition unit, by performing a process depending on a type of the three-dimensional object recognized by the three-dimensional object recognition unit. A superimposition unit is configured to superimpose, onto the bird's-eye view image, the superimposition image acquired by the superimposition-image acquisition unit, at a position where the three-dimensional object is present in the bird's-eye view image.

In a method of producing images of a stored three-dimensional model of the surroundings of a vehicle, the images are corrected for perspective. A camera picture is produced by a camera device of the vehicle, and is projected onto a projection surface in the surroundings model. A region relevant for driving is marked in the surroundings model and is projected onto a corresponding projection surface area of the projection surface. An image of the projection surface including the driving-relevant region projected onto the projection surface area is produced and output by a virtual camera that can move freely in the surroundings model.

A peripheral monitoring apparatus includes a hardware processor that: acquires captured image data obtained by capturing, from a towing vehicle to which a towed vehicle is coupleable, a region behind the towing vehicle; acquires coupling information representing whether or not the towed vehicle is coupled to the towing vehicle; generates a reference line to be a reference for a movement of the towing vehicle when the towing vehicle moves backward; and switches display modes of the reference line to be displayed after being superimposed on an image being based on the captured image data, the switching of the display modes being performed between a case where the towed vehicle is coupled to the towing vehicle and a case where the towed vehicle is not coupled to the towing vehicle.

A load-monitoring system includes a vehicle processor and a camera mounted in a trailer. The vehicle, via the processor, displays a first image of a trailer load, received from a trailer-mounted camera and receives selection of a monitoring point on the image, via a touch-sensitive user interface displaying the image or other selection mechanism. The vehicle also receives selection of a fixed point on the image, via the user interface. If the monitoring point moves more than a threshold amount, relative to the fixed point, for example, in subsequent images captured by the camera, the vehicle alerts the driver.

An image processing unit identifies the shape of an obstacle that is identified from an area that appears in a peripheral image based on an image captured by a camera. The shape of the obstacle includes at least a tilt of a section of the obstacle in a road-surface direction. The section of the obstacle faces a vehicle. The image processing unit generates a superimposed image in which a mark image that is generated as a pattern that indicates the identified obstacle is superimposed onto a position that corresponds to the obstacle in the peripheral image. At this time, the image processing unit variably changes properties of the mark image based on the tilt of the obstacle identified by an obstacle identifying unit. The image processing unit then displays the generated superimposed image on display apparatus.

The present technology relates to an information processing device, an information processing method, and an information processing system by which a user can easily recognize a position of a sensor having a defect from among sensors mounted on a vehicle. Position-related information about a relative position or direction with respect to a vehicle is acquired, and a combined image obtained by combining a defect image representing a position of the sensor having a defect from among the sensors mounted on the vehicle with a vehicle image reflecting the vehicle is displayed in response to the position-related information. The present technology can be applied so that a user can recognize a sensor having a defect from among the sensors mounted on a vehicle.
