A method performed by a vehicle system for handling images of surroundings of a vehicle. An image of surroundings of the vehicle is obtained. The image is obtained from at least one image capturing device mounted in or on the vehicle, and the image capturing device comprises a fisheye lens. At least a part of distortions in the image is corrected to obtain a corrected image. The corrected image is rotationally transformed using a first rotational transformation to obtain a first transformed image. The corrected image is rotationally transformed using a second rotational transformation to obtain a second transformed image. The first and second rotational transformations are different from each other, and the first and second transformed images are consecutive images.

The method includes selecting a region of interest (ROI) in an entire surveillance-target area image captured by the fisheye camera and adjusting a panning angle P and a tilting angle T of the PTZ camera to acquire an accurate image of the selected ROI.

One disclosed embodiment includes a method of graphics processing. The method includes receiving a first function, wherein the first function indicates a desired sampling rate for image content, wherein the desired sampling rate differs in a first location along a first axial direction and a second location along the first axial direction, and wherein the image content is divided into a plurality of tiles, determining a first rasterization rate for each tile of the plurality of tiles based, at least in part, on the desired sampling rate indicated by the first function corresponding to each respective tile, receiving one or more primitives associated with content for display, rasterizing at least a portion of a primitive associated with a respective tile based, at least in part, on the determined first rasterization rate for the respective tile, and displaying an image based on the rasterized portion of the primitive.

A method for geometrically correcting a distorted input frame and generating an undistorted output frame includes capturing and storing an input frame in an external memory, allocating an output frame with an output frame size and dividing the output frame into output blocks, computing a size of the input blocks in the input image corresponding to each output blocks, checking if the size of the input blocks is less than the size of the internal memory and if not dividing until the required input block size of divided sub blocks is less than the size of the internal memory, programming an apparatus with input parameters, fetching the input blocks into an internal memory, processing each of the divided sub blocks sequentially and processing the next output block in step until all the output blocks are processed; and composing the output frame for each of the blocks in the output frame.

A method of rendering geometry of a 3D scene for display on a non-standard projection display projects geometry of the 3D scene into a 2D projection plane, wherein image regions are defined in the projection plane, maps the geometry from the projection plane into an image space using transformations, wherein a respective transformation is defined for each image region, and renders the geometry in the image space to determine image values of an image to be displayed on the non-standard projection display. The transformations are configured for mapping the geometry into the image space so as to counteract distortion introduced by an optical arrangement of the non-standard projection display.

Hyper-hemispherical images may be combined to generate a rectangular projection of a spherical image having an equatorial stitch line along of a line of lowest distortion in the two images. First and second circular images are received representing respective hyper-hemispherical fields of view. A video processing device may project each circular image to a respective rectangular image by mapping an outer edge of the circular image to a first edge of the rectangular image and mapping a center point of the circular image to a second edge of the first rectangular image. The rectangular images may be stitched together along the edges corresponding to the outer edge of the original circular image.

A method of displaying a wide-angle image including one or more attention points on a display device, the method being performed by an information processing apparatus including the display device, includes, in response to detecting a predetermined trigger when at least a part of the wide-angle image is displayed as a display region, displaying a region of the wide-angle image in the display region, the region of the wide-angle image including at least one of the one or more attention points.
