Patent number: 10848732Abstract: In the invention, a CV (camera vector) video acquisition unit generates a CV video obtained by adding a CV value to a target video on which a CV calculation is performed to obtain the CV value representing three-dimensional coordinate values of a camera position and posture of the target video. A virtual three-dimensional space disposition unit disposes, in a virtual space, a plurality of CV-value-added CV videos in accordance with the three-dimensional coordinates. A viewpoint movement path image selection unit selects, from among the plurality of CV videos, a plurality of image frames closest to scheduled viewpoint movement coordinates in a suitable interval. A starting point/ending point continuous image display unit converts a viewpoint direction and a viewpoint movement direction of the plurality of image frames to match a scheduled direction, and sequentially combines the plurality of image frames to generate a continuous image.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2018Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: IWANE LABORATORIES, LTD.Inventor: Waro Iwane

Patent number: 8218943Abstract: Under an internet environment, video images of actual roads, stores or the like are distributed, an arbitrary tag can be attached to the video images or information can be written in them and further a plurality of layers are set to the video images in the same area. An administrator device (200) stores a CV video image obtained by adding, to a video image of an arbitrary object area, a CV value indicating three-dimensional values of camera positions and attitudes during shooting, stores a CV tag which is displayed in a synthesized manner at an arbitrary designated position in the CV video image, generates a plurality of layers to be overlapped with the CV video image and having the same coordinate system as that of the CV video image, and stores the generated layers in association with the corresponding CV video images.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2007Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignee: Iwane Laboratories, Ltd.Inventor: Waro Iwane

Patent number: 7804424Abstract: There is provided an automatic guide apparatus for traffic facilities capable of automatically recognizing the circumstances around the traffic facilities for motor vehicles or the like which change momentarily to automatically guide the operating route of the road or the like. In the automatic guide apparatus for traffic facilities 1, image data, voice data or the like in connection with the circumstances around the traffic facilities to be operated obtained by the input device 2 are compared with image data, voice data or the like stored in advance in a database by the comparison device 4. Where the results obtained by comparing the image data, voice data or the like are coincided, the contents of the data are recognized by the recognition device 5, and the recognized results are informed to an operator or the like in a letter or character, an image, a voice or the like by the output device 6.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2003Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: Iwane Laboratories, Ltd.Inventor: Waro Iwane
