Patent number: 11727642Abstract: Reduction of a work burden relating to generation of a virtual viewpoint image is implemented. An image processing apparatus includes a virtual viewpoint image generation section that generates, on the basis of three-dimensional information that represents an imaged imaging object in a three-dimensional space, an observation image from a viewpoint in the three-dimensional space as a virtual viewpoint image, and the virtual viewpoint image generation section sets the viewpoint that follows movement of the imaging object. This makes it possible to reduce an operation burden relating to setting of a viewpoint.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2018Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Yuta Nakao, Nobuho Ikeda, Hiroshi Ikeda

Patent number: 11425298Abstract: The present technology relates to an imaging device, an imaging method, and a program capable of setting a resolution based on a distance to a subject. A control unit which changes a resolution of a captured image on the basis of distance information, corresponding to the captured image, regarding a detected distance to a subject included in the image is included. The control unit changes a resolution of a portion of a region of the captured image on the basis of the distance information. The portion of the region is a region distant from another region. The control unit changes the resolution of the portion of the region such that the portion of the region becomes higher than a resolution of another region.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: SONY CORPORATIONInventors: Kazuhiro Shimauchi, Kenzaburo Seki, Tetsuya Shimoda, Yasuyoshi Kuwazoe, Yuta Nakao, Takashi Kohashi

Patent number: 11417062Abstract: In an image including a continuous visual field of 360 degrees, such as a celestial sphere image, in a case where a partial region is displayed as an output target region, transition from a certain output target region to the other output target region is realized smoothly and with natural feeling, without having visually uncomfortable feeling. For this reason, a transition source output target region and a transition destination output target region are specified, in an output target region which is a partial region of the entire image, which is an image having a continuous visual field of 360 degrees in at least one direction. Then, a visual field transition path from the specified transition source output target region to the specified transition destination output target region is automatically determined.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Sony Group CorporationInventors: Yuta Nakao, Yuki Ono, Daisuke Tahara
