OBJECT INFORMATION GENERATION SYSTEM, OBJECT INFORMATION GENERATION METHOD, AND OBJECT INFORMATION GENERATION PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18448712 titled 'OBJECT INFORMATION GENERATION SYSTEM, OBJECT INFORMATION GENERATION METHOD, AND OBJECT INFORMATION GENERATION PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an object information generation system that uses an imaging unit to capture segment images of a target space.

• The system includes a signal processor that extracts the object region from the segment images.
• The object information generation unit determines a window within the object region and calculates the distance information of the object using the pixel information within the window.
• The distance information is generated by analyzing the information from multiple pixels in the window across two or more segment images.
• This system allows for the accurate calculation of distance information for objects within the target space.

Original Abstract Submitted

In an object information generation system, an imaging unit is configured to capture a plurality of segment images respectively corresponding to a plurality of distance segments dividing a target space. In a signal processor, the object region extraction unit extracts, from a plurality of segment images, an object region that is a pixel region including an image of the object. An object information generation unit determines, for the object region, a window in which calculation-target pixels are cut out, and generates distance information of the object by calculation using information of a plurality of pixels in the window for two or more segment images.
