Patent number: 10315570Abstract: An image processing apparatus extracts, as a display image, a part of an image captured by a wide angle camera, the wide angle camera being arranged at a position deviated from a vehicle center line that is a center line of a vehicle in a longitudinal direction and being configured to increase a degree of size reduction of an object as being farther from a center of the captured image. The image processing apparatus includes a control circuit that extracts the display image. The control circuit includes an extraction determination portion. The extraction determination portion determines an extraction position of the display image in the captured image according to a center position of the display image to the vehicle center line and the degree of size reduction of the object represented at a pixel of a specific position in the display image.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2014Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Bingchen Wang, Muneaki Matsumoto

Publication number: 20150319370Abstract: An onboard image generator is provided. The onboard image generator includes a first camera capturing an image in front of or behind a vehicle, and a second camera and a third camera capturing images on right and left sides of the vehicle, respectively. Based on the images captured by the second and third cameras, a first viewpoint converter generates a set of symmetrical viewpoint conversion images shaped viewed toward the front or rear of the vehicle from a pair of parallel virtual viewpoints. Based on the image captured by the first camera, a center image generator generates a center image. A combined image generator generates a combined image by arranging the center image in a center of and arranging the set of viewpoint conversion images besides the center image.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2013Publication date: November 5, 2015Inventors: Bingchen WANG, Hirohiko YANAGAWA

Patent number: 8670034Abstract: An image processor outputs an image containing relatively much information of a central area in the horizontal direction. A mask composed of an upper mask and a lower mask is superimposed on the image. The upper mask is concave on the lower side thereof and disposed along the upper side of the image. The lower mask is concave on the upper side thereof and disposed along the lower side of the image. When the image is masked with this mask, the peripheral portion of the image that is prone to be distorted becomes invisible. Therefore, discomfort a user feels because of distortion can be reduced. In addition, the user can view the image with the much information of the central area of the image in the horizontal direction.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2008Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Kazushige Hattori, Toshihiro Hattori, Bingchen Wang

Publication number: 20110106380Abstract: A vehicle surrounding monitoring device includes an image display control section and a guide line overlapping section. The image display control section makes a view image based on a shot image of a surrounding of a vehicle and displays the view image on a display device. The guide line overlapping section overlaps a guide line for assisting a forward parking of the vehicle on the view image. The guide line includes a front end guide line extending from a first position to a second position. The first position is a position obtained by rotationally transferring a position of a rotational outer front end of the vehicle by 90 degrees around a rotational center of the vehicle. The second position is located at a distance of a width of the vehicle from the first position toward a rear in a front-rear direction of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2010Publication date: May 5, 2011Applicant: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Bingchen Wang, Hideki Ootsuka
