IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18352496 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that generates a virtual viewpoint image. This image includes an image indicating the position of a virtual viewpoint, a line-of-sight direction from the virtual viewpoint, and event information indicating the occurrence position of an event that happens after the time corresponding to the virtual viewpoint image. The event information is displayed in a superimposed manner on the virtual viewpoint image.

  • The image processing apparatus generates a virtual viewpoint image.
  • The virtual viewpoint image includes an image indicating the position of a virtual viewpoint.
  • The virtual viewpoint image also includes a line-of-sight direction from the virtual viewpoint.
  • The virtual viewpoint image displays event information indicating the occurrence position of an event that happens after the time corresponding to the virtual viewpoint image.
  • The event information is displayed in a superimposed manner on the virtual viewpoint image.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Virtual reality and augmented reality systems can utilize this technology to enhance the user experience by providing a more immersive and interactive environment.
  • Surveillance systems can benefit from this technology by allowing operators to view events from different viewpoints and easily identify the occurrence position of events.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Traditional images or videos may not provide enough information about the occurrence position of events happening after the time they were captured. This technology solves this problem by generating a virtual viewpoint image that includes event information.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Users can have a more immersive and interactive experience by being able to view events from different viewpoints.
  • Operators of surveillance systems can easily identify the occurrence position of events, improving situational awareness and response time.


Original Abstract Submitted

There is provided an image processing apparatus that generates a virtual viewpoint image on which an image indicating a position of a virtual viewpoint, a line-of-sight direction from the virtual viewpoint, and event information indicating an occurrence position of an event occurring at a time later than a time corresponding to the virtual viewpoint image is displayed in a superimposed manner.
