Publication number: 20210109543Abstract: An obstacle identification apparatus acquires an image that is captured by a camera mounted to a vehicle. The obstacle identification apparatus calculates a first gradient that is a gradient in a first direction of a luminance value of pixels in the image and a second gradient that is a gradient of the luminance value in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction of the first gradient. Based on the first gradient and the second gradient, the obstacle identification apparatus estimates an own-vehicle shadow boundary. Based on the estimated own-vehicle shadow boundary, the obstacle identification apparatus estimates an own-vehicle shadow. Based on a luminance value of the estimated own-vehicle shadow, the obstacle identification apparatus estimates an object shadow that is a shadow of an object differing from the own-vehicle shadow.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2020Publication date: April 15, 2021Inventors: Takayuki HIROMITSU, Tomoyuki FUJIMOTO, Masumi FUKUMAN, Akihiro KIDA

Patent number: 10440317Abstract: A video processing device generates a display video signal to be supplied to a liquid crystal display unit that is driven by a frame inversion scheme. The video processing device includes a controller and a video signal processor. The controller controls a vertical synchronizing signal included in an interlace video signal input from outside the video processing device so that a display invalid section having a predetermined number of fields is set for the interlace video signal at a predetermined period. The video signal processor i) generates the display video signal based on the interlace video signal in which the display invalid section has been set by control of the vertical synchronizing signal and ii) outputs the display video signal to the liquid crystal display unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2017Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: DENSO TEN LimitedInventors: Takeo Matsumoto, Kohji Ohnishi, Takayuki Ozasa, Tomoyuki Fujimoto, Teruhiko Kamibayashi
