IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18464255 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an image processing apparatus that can generate a representative image from multiple captured images and viewpoint information. This representative image can be displayed on a display in a different size than the original virtual viewpoint moving image.

  • The image processing apparatus includes a processor and memory.
  • The processor acquires a representative image based on multiple captured images and viewpoint information.
  • The captured images are obtained by imaging an imaging region.
  • The representative image is generated by combining the captured images and viewpoint information.
  • The apparatus outputs data for displaying the representative image on a display in a different size than the original virtual viewpoint moving image.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Virtual reality: The ability to generate a representative image from multiple viewpoints can enhance the immersive experience in virtual reality applications.
  • Video editing: The ability to display the representative image in a different size allows for more flexible video editing and resizing options.
  • Surveillance systems: The image processing apparatus can be used to generate a comprehensive view of an area by combining multiple captured images and viewpoint information.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Limited viewpoint: By combining multiple captured images and viewpoint information, the image processing apparatus can create a representative image that provides a wider field of view than a single image.
  • Display flexibility: The ability to display the representative image in a different size allows for better customization and adaptation to different display devices.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced visual experience: The ability to generate a representative image from multiple viewpoints can provide a more immersive and realistic visual experience.
  • Improved editing capabilities: The ability to display the representative image in a different size allows for more flexibility in video editing and resizing options.
  • Comprehensive surveillance: The image processing apparatus can help create a comprehensive view of an area, improving surveillance capabilities.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing apparatus includes a processor, and a memory connected to or built in the processor. The processor acquires a representative image corresponding to a virtual viewpoint moving image generated based on a plurality of captured images obtained by imaging an imaging region and a plurality of pieces of viewpoint information, based on the plurality of captured images and the plurality of pieces of viewpoint information, and outputs data for displaying the representative image on a display in a size different from the virtual viewpoint moving image.
