IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, ON-BOARD SYSTEM, AND MOVABLE APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18230781 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS, ON-BOARD SYSTEM, AND MOVABLE APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an image processing apparatus that generates a second image using a different projection method from the first image obtained by imaging a three-dimensional space.

  • The apparatus uses a first image obtained through an optical system to generate a second image using a different projection method.
  • Object detection is performed using the second image.
  • The distortion ratio on the second image must meet a predetermined condition.

Potential Applications

  • Medical imaging for detecting abnormalities in three-dimensional space.
  • Augmented reality applications for object recognition and tracking.

Problems Solved

  • Improved accuracy in object detection by using multiple projection methods.
  • Enhanced image processing capabilities for complex three-dimensional spaces.

Benefits

  • Increased efficiency in object detection tasks.
  • Enhanced image quality and accuracy in processing three-dimensional data.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing apparatus includes a memory storing instructions, and a processor configured to execute the instructions to generate, using a first image obtained by imaging a three-dimensional space including an object through an optical system of a first projection method, a second image obtained by a second projection method different from the first projection method, and perform object detection using the second image. A distortion ratio on the second image satisfies a predetermined condition.
