The first capturing unit captures a first image at a first angle of view. The first image includes at least a part of a target vehicle in front of or behind a vehicle and the surrounding area of the target vehicle. The second capturing unit captures a second image at a second angle of view that is narrower than the first angle of view. The second image includes target information so that the target information on a specific target part of the target vehicle or the surrounding area is identifiable. The information acquisition unit acquires the target information from the second image. The recording unit records the target information, acquired by the information acquisition unit, in association with the first image.

Method for determining alignment of vehicular cameras

A method for determining alignment of cameras at a vehicle includes mounting first and second cameras at a vehicle and providing an image processor at the vehicle. While the vehicle is moving along the road, first image data captured via the first camera is processed to determine movement of a road feature and second image data captured by the second camera is processed to determine movement of the road feature when the road feature is present in the second image data. The determined movement of the road feature in first image data is compared to the determined movement of the road feature in second image data, and an offset of the second camera relative to the first camera is determined, with the offset caused by a rotational or translational change in position of the first or second camera relative to the other.

ENHANCED RENDERING OF SURROUND VIEW IMAGES

An apparatus comprising a memory and one or more processing circuits is provided. The memory stores a blend table having blend weights. The processing circuits, for partitions of the blend table: determine whether a subset of the pixels associated with the partition includes pixels associated with seamlines defined in a three-dimensional surface representation of the scene. If none of the subset of the pixels are associated with the seamlines, the processing circuits populate a region of the virtual image corresponding to the partition with pixel values from an image captured by one of the plurality of image capture devices. If one or more of the subsets of the pixels is associated with the seamlines, the processing circuits populate the region of the virtual image associated with the partition with blended pixel values from two or more images captured by two or more of the plurality of image capture devices.

A method, an apparatus and a system for displaying an image of a vehicle blind spot are provided. The apparatus is coupled to at least one external camera disposed outside the vehicle, at least one internal camera disposed inside the vehicle with a lens facing towards a driver, and at least one display disposed inside the vehicle. The method comprises capturing an image of the external environment of the vehicle by the external camera as an external image, capturing an image including the driver by the internal camera as an internal image, recognizing a face of the driver and a displacement of the face in the internal image, and adjusting a position of an ROI in the external image according to the recognized displacement, to display an image of the ROI on the display corresponding to the external camera. The displayed image of the external of the vehicle may be adjusted according to the posture or the angle of view of the driver, to have the image of the current blind spot by the driver shown correctly.

Vehicle surroundings display device

A vehicle surroundings display device is provided. The vehicle surroundings display device includes an imaging device, a display device, and a display controller. The imaging device images a region toward a rear side of a vehicle and sideways from the vehicle. The display device is capable of displaying an image captured by the imaging device. The display controller displays a first predetermined area of the image as a first display image on the display device in cases in which a direction indicator of the vehicle is in an inactive state, displays a second predetermined area of the image corresponding to an activated side of the direction indicator as a second display image on the display device in cases in which the direction indicator has transitioned from an inactive state to an active state, the second predetermined area being wider than the first predetermined area and including the first predetermined area, and switches a display on the display device from the second display image to the first display image after a predetermined standby duration has elapsed when the direction indicator has transitioned from an active state to an inactive state.

Onboard display device, control method for onboard display device, and control program for onboard display device

An onboard display device that includes: a display that includes a display region at a front passenger seat side of a vehicle width direction center position at a front face side of a vehicle cabin, and that is capable of displaying a picture in the display region; and a display controller that converts a second image captured by a second image capture section to a point-of-view-converted image viewed as if from a hypothetical point-of-view at an installation position of a first image capture section, that stitches a first image captured by the first image capture section with an image from a range in the point-of-view-converted image not overlapping with the first image to generate a composite image, and that controls the display so as to display the composite image in the display region as the picture.

The present disclosure relates to an image processing device, an image processing method, and a program that can make it easier to check a surrounding situation. A viewpoint determination part determines a viewpoint of a viewpoint image related to periphery of a moving object in a case where the moving object is viewed from a predetermined viewpoint, according to a speed of a vehicle that can move at an arbitrary speed. Then, an image synthesis part synthesizes an illustrative image of the vehicle at a position where the vehicle can exist in the captured image of the periphery of the vehicle, and a projection conversion part performs projection conversion on an image obtained by the image synthesis part synthesizing the illustrative image of the vehicle to generate the viewpoint image that is a view from the viewpoint determined by the viewpoint determination part. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an image processing device mounted on a vehicle.
