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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18448992 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an image processing apparatus that can generate a virtual viewpoint image based on captured images and viewpoint information. It also outputs data for displaying a specific image created using a different process, along with the virtual viewpoint image on a display.

  • The image processing apparatus includes a processor and memory.
  • The processor acquires a virtual viewpoint image by combining multiple captured images and viewpoint information.
  • The virtual viewpoint image shows a specific aspect of a subject observed from a specified viewpoint.
  • The processor also generates data for displaying a specific image using a different process than the virtual viewpoint image.
  • The specific image is displayed on a display along with the virtual viewpoint image.
  • The apparatus can be used for various image processing applications, such as virtual reality, augmented reality, or computer graphics.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing apparatus includes a processor and a memory connected to or built in the processor. The processor acquires a virtual viewpoint image showing an aspect of a subject in a case in which the subject is observed from a viewpoint specified by viewpoint information based on a plurality of captured images and the viewpoint information, and outputs, based on the viewpoint information, data for displaying a specific image created in a process different from a process of the virtual viewpoint image, and the virtual viewpoint image on a display.
