IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE THAT CAN MEASURE DISTANCE TO OBJECT, MOVABLE APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18187723 Titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE THAT CAN MEASURE DISTANCE TO OBJECT, MOVABLE APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes an image processing device that is capable of generating overhead view images. The device includes an image acquisition unit that captures images of an object around a movable apparatus. It also has a distance information acquisition unit that measures the distance to the object. The device has two overhead view image generation units, one that generates an overhead view image using the distance information, and another that generates an overhead view image without using distance information. There is also a movement state detection unit that detects the movement of the movable apparatus or the object. Finally, a control unit determines which overhead view image generation unit to use based on the movement state.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing device includes an image acquisition unit that acquires an image obtained by capturing an object around a movable apparatus, a distance information acquisition unit that acquires distance information indicating a distance to the object around the movable apparatus, a first overhead view image generation unit that generates a first overhead view image from a plurality of the captured images by using the distance information, a second overhead view image generation unit that generates a second overhead view image from a plurality of the captured images, a movement state detection unit that detects a state of movement of at least one of the movable apparatus and the object, and a control unit that causes the first overhead view image generation unit or the second overhead view image generation unit to generate the first overhead view image or the second overhead view image according to the state of movement.
