  • Patent number: 10019965
    Abstract: A display system includes a plurality of display screens and a display controller. The plurality of display screens are disposed in front of the driver of the vehicle in a vertical direction in a row such that the distance from the viewpoint position of the driver differs, and present images showing predetermined information to the driver. The display controller is configured to display the images with a lower color temperature on the plurality of display screens, as the distance from the viewpoint position is longer.

  • Patent number: 10002463
    Abstract: In order that color information for enabling accurate detection of a specific color, such as a skin color, can be registered without requiring time and effort, in various embodiments, an image processing unit generates a synthesized image to be displayed by synthesizing an image representing a target area in which a target object is arranged with a captured image of a physical space, and a registration unit, in a case where it is determined that the target object is included in a distance range set as a distance from an imaging reference plane when the physical space is captured, extracts color information from the target area, and registers the extracted color information.
