IMAGE SYNTHESIS DEVICE, IMAGE SYNTHESIS METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18210310 Titled 'IMAGE SYNTHESIS DEVICE, IMAGE SYNTHESIS METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an image synthesis device that can blend multiple images together to create a seamless composite image. The device selects adjacent images, calculates the overlap region where they overlap, determines a boundary line within the overlap region, and blends the images together. If one of the images has a priority region, the device determines a boundary line that avoids overlapping with the blend region near the priority region. The blending process is then executed based on this boundary line.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image synthesis device includes processing circuitry to acquire a plurality of images captured from different viewpoints and to select images adjoining each other from the plurality of images; to calculate an overlap region as a region where the adjoining images overlap with each other; to determine a boundary line between images in the overlap region; and to execute blending of images in the overlap region. When at least one of the adjoining images includes a priority region, the processing circuitry determines the boundary line that does not overlap with a blend region in a vicinity of the priority region as a region determined depending on a blending method used for blending of an image of the priority region, and the processing circuitry executes the blending of the images in the overlap region based on the boundary line.
