  • Publication number: 20200193633
    Abstract: An image processing device includes position estimation, position difference calculation, and image-capturing time lag detection units. The position estimation unit respectively estimates self-positions of a plurality of cameras that are mounted on a movable body and capture images of a periphery of the movable body. The position difference calculation unit calculates, as a position difference, a difference between a first self-position of a camera that is estimated at a first point of time before the movable body is accelerated or decelerated to move and a second self-position of the camera that is estimated at a second point of time when the movable body is accelerated or decelerated to move. The image-capturing time lag detection unit detects an image-capturing time lag that indicates a lag of image-capturing time of an image among the plurality of cameras based on the position difference that is calculated by the position difference calculation unit.
