IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240257311 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE
The abstract describes an image processing device that can generate a composite image of a vehicle from a virtual viewpoint and display it on a display device. The device can control the display based on predetermined patterns or the vehicle's operation, adjusting the transmittance of the vehicle image accordingly.
- Processor generates surrounding image from captured images
- Composite image combines vehicle image with surrounding image
- Display device shows composite image
- First control rotates virtual viewpoint in pattern
- Second control moves virtual viewpoint based on vehicle operation
- Transmittance of vehicle image changes based on control
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for virtual vehicle viewing - Augmented reality applications for enhanced visual experiences
Problems Solved: - Providing a realistic virtual view of a vehicle - Enhancing user experience with dynamic image display
Benefits: - Improved visualization of vehicles - Enhanced user interaction with displayed images
Commercial Applications: Title: "Virtual Vehicle Viewing System for Enhanced User Experience" This technology can be used in automotive showrooms, virtual reality experiences, and interactive advertising campaigns to showcase vehicles in a dynamic and engaging way.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the device adjust the transmittance of the vehicle image based on control?
The device changes the transmittance of the vehicle image when performing the first and second controls to enhance the visual representation of the vehicle.
2. What are the key features of the image processing device described in the abstract?
The device can generate a composite image of a vehicle from a virtual viewpoint, display it on a display device, and control the display based on predetermined patterns or the vehicle's operation.
Original Abstract Submitted
an image processing device includes: a processor configured to generate a surrounding image when a vehicle is viewed from a virtual viewpoint, based on captured images, generate a composite image in which a vehicle image showing the vehicle when viewed from the virtual viewpoint is combined with the surrounding image, and display the composite image on a display device. the processor is configured to: perform a first control for displaying the composite image on the display device while rotationally moving the virtual viewpoint with respect to the vehicle in a predetermined pattern, and a second control for displaying the composite image on the display device while moving the virtual viewpoint to a position according to an operation of an operation unit of the vehicle; and change a transmittance of the vehicle image when performing the first control and when performing the second control.
