Publication number: 20120218413Abstract: A camera for taking a state behind a vehicle is installed in a position laterally shifted from the rear center of the vehicle. An image processing unit generates a rear image from a camera image by shifting merely a rectangular area of the camera image so that a vertical center line thereof can substantially accord with the center line along the lengthwise direction of the vehicle. Furthermore, processing for correcting lens distortion may be performed. As a result, when the vehicle is moved straight backward, an object present on the center line of the vehicle moves vertically in substantially the center of the screen, so that a user can be prevented from having an odd feeling to see the image.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 10, 2012Publication date: August 30, 2012Applicant: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Shusaku Okamoto, Masamichi Nakagawa, Takashi Yoshida, Atsushi Iisaka, Atsushi Morimura

Patent number: 7502048Abstract: The invention provides a vehicle surroundings monitoring system for synthesizing and displaying images captured by a plurality of cameras to provide images that, near the border between partial images, are more accurate and more readily understood by the user than has been the case conventionally. In the synthesized image, a partial image captured by a first camera and a partial image captured by a second camera are adjacent to one another at their border. Near this border, the capturing directions of the first and the second cameras both substantially match the direction of the border. Consequently, images of objects near the border extend along the border, and thus do not disappear on the synthesized image.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2002Date of Patent: March 10, 2009Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Shusaku Okamoto, Masamichi Nakagawa, Atsushi Morimura, Kazufumi Mizusawa, Atsushi Iisaka, Takashi Yoshida
