A vehicle image processing apparatus includes a group of cameras, a drawing unit that converts a captured image into an image viewed along a line of sight running from a predetermined position in a predetermined direction, a viewing-line-of-sight changing unit that detects whether a first line of sight is switched to a second line of sight, and a viewing-line-of-sight generation/updating unit that acquires parameters concerning the first and second lines of sight after detecting the switching and generates a parameter which is gradually changed from the parameter of the first line of sight to the parameter of the second line of sight. Moreover, the drawing unit generates, on the basis of the gradually changed parameter, an image which is gradually changed from an image viewed along the first line of sight to an image viewed along the second line of sight.

A system allows a user to create new designs for apparel and preview these designs before manufacture. Software and lasers are used in finishing apparel to produce a desired wear pattern or other design. The system provides feedback to the user on how their designs may appear in a virtual store or storefront, such as through virtual reality or augment reality techniques.

An image processing device for a vehicle includes: an acquisition unit acquiring a captured image of a periphery of a vehicle, which is captured by an imaging unit provided in the vehicle; a bird's eye view image generating unit generating a bird's eye view image in which the captured image is projected to a 3D virtual projection plane provided at a side opposite to the vehicle with reference to a ground and separated from the ground with distance from the vehicle; a guide line generating unit generating a guide line indicating a predicted course of the vehicle; a conversion unit converting the guide line into a virtual guide line indicating the predicted course on the virtual projection plane; and a superimposing unit superimposing the virtual guide line on the bird's eye view image.

In various implementations, provided are systems and methods for correcting the distortion present in a fisheye image, and rendering the image for display as 360-degree video. In various implementations, a computing device can receive 2-dimensional video data captured by an omnidirectional camera. The computing device can map an image from each video frame to a 3-dimensional hemispherical representation. In various implementations, this mapping can be executed using a polynomial model. The 3-dimensional hemispherical representation can then be used in a 360-degree video presentation, to provide a virtual reality experience.

A system comprises an encoder configured to compress attribute information and/or spatial for a point cloud and/or a decoder configured to decompress compressed attribute and/or spatial information for the point cloud. To compress the attribute and/or spatial information, the encoder is configured to convert a point cloud into an image based representation. Also, the decoder is configured to generate a decompressed point cloud based on an image based representation of a point cloud.

A projector includes a correction information generation unit, an image information correction unit, and an image projection unit. The correction information generation unit sets a first coordinate in a two-dimensional projection formed by flattening out a three-dimensional projection surface onto a plane. The correction information generation unit arranges a first quadrilateral having a first aspect ratio within the two-dimensional projection, based on the first coordinate as a reference position, in such a way that the first quadrilateral comes into contact with an outline of the two-dimensional projection. The correction information generation unit determines whether the first quadrilateral is in contact with the outline of the two-dimensional projection at two or more points, or not. When the first quadrilateral is determined as being in contact with the outline of the two-dimensional projection at two or more points, the image information correction unit corrects image information, based on the first quadrilateral, and thus generates corrected image information. The image projection unit projects an image based on the corrected image information onto the projection surface.

A novel display system and a moving object are provided. The display system includes a display panel and a display driver. The display panel has a curved shape. The display panel includes a first display region and a second display region on the curved surface. The display driver generates first analog data by a first clock signal and first digital data and generates second analog data by a second clock signal and second digital data. An image can be displayed in accordance with the curved shape of the display panel by transmitting the first analog data to the first display region and transmitting the second analog data to the second display region.

Provided is an image processing device that includes: an image generation section configured to generate a peripheral image in an outer periphery of a first frame image to generate a second frame image that includes the first frame image and the peripheral image; and a coordinate conversion section configured to perform coordinate conversion on the second frame image to generate a third frame image.

In one embodiment, coloring artifacts of a color image output by a camera are minimized by taking into account a distortion introduced by the lens. Based on the distortion, the color reconstruction determines which pixels in the grayscale image to include in the reconstruction process. Additionally, the color reconstruction can take into account edges depicted in the grayscale image to determine which pixels to include in the reconstruction process. In another embodiment, coloring artifacts in a 360 degree color image are minimized by performing the color reconstruction process on a three-dimensional surface. Before the color reconstruction takes place, the two-dimensional grayscale image is projected onto a three-dimensional surface, and the color reconstruction is performed on the three-dimensional surface. The color reconstruction on the three-dimensional surface can take into account the distortion produced by the lens and/or can take into account the edges depicted in the two-dimensional and three-dimensional grayscale image.

A method is provided that uses commercially available drawing software to manipulate two dimensional images to match all horizontal objects in the image to be wrapped around a tapered or frusto-conical cup. The method allows a novice user with no graphic design experience to create a satisfactory image that avoids the unrealistic “tenting” distortion effect caused by the taper of the cup. The method includes altering the image and transforming it so that the horizontal elements maintain their integrity despite the geometry of the cup. With this method, all horizontal objects within the design appear in the cup as horizontal, even though the image has been manipulated to be non-horizontal in a two dimensional version of the image. In one aspect, the image can be personalized with color by the user. In some embodiments, such as with the use of transparency film, the art work can create a stained glass or painted stainless steel effect.
