Patent number: 9357180Abstract: Provided is a vehicle driving assist device, said device being capable of reliably and accurately warning any driver, regardless of the perception or skill thereof, to avoid collisions with obstacles. Said driving assist device, which uses a monitor in the vehicle to display images taken of the surroundings of the vehicle, has: an imaging unit that is mounted in the vehicle and takes the aforementioned images; an information-acquisition unit that acquires vehicle-speed information; and an image-processing unit that processes image signals configured by the images outputted from the imaging unit. Said image-processing unit contains an image-superimposition unit that superimposes, onto the taken images, images pertaining to the braking distance corresponding to the vehicle-speed information acquired by the information-acquisition unit.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2012Date of Patent: May 31, 2016Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Yusuke Numata, Chinatsu Sakurai

Patent number: 8792007Abstract: An object of the present invention is to simplify a calibration operation of a camera and to shorten a time necessary for calibration. A camera calibration device 10 is mounted on a predetermined position of a movable object 100 and includes a camera 11 configured to take an image including an index 41 provided outside the movable object 100, an image superimposing unit 122 configured to generate a superimposed image by superimposing a calibration object 42 having a position adjustment part and a rotation adjustment part on the image taken by the camera 11, and a calculation unit 124 configured to calculate, based on a position of the calibration object 42 after being shifted in the superimposed image such that an end or a center of the index 41 meets the position adjustment part and a part of the index other than the end or the center overlaps the rotation adjustment part, parameters relative to a pan angle, a tilt angle and a roll angle for calibration of the camera mounting position.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2014Date of Patent: July 29, 2014Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Takeo Oshima, Takashi Maekawa, Ryuuichi Sawada, Haruo Yanagisawa, Chinatsu Sakurai, Akinori Iwabuchi, Shinya Tamizu, Takashi Inoue

Publication number: 20140160292Abstract: An object of the present invention is to simplify a calibration operation of a camera and to shorten a time necessary for calibration. A calibration operation device 12 includes a control unit configured to control for displaying an object 42 having a first part and a second part, the object 42 being superimposed on an image taken by the camera 11, wherein the control unit performs a shift process to shift at least a display position of the first part in horizontal and vertical directions on the image, a rotation process to rotate a display position of the second part around the first part on the image, and calculation process to calculate a calibration parameters to calibrate a pan angle, a tilt angle and a roll angle of the mounting angle of the camera 11 based on the position of the object 42.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2014Publication date: June 12, 2014Applicant: KYOCERA CORPORATIONInventors: Takeo OSHIMA, Takashi MAEKAWA, Ryuuichi SAWADA, Haruo YANAGISAWA, Chinatsu SAKURAI, Akinori IWABUCHI, Shinya TAMIZU, Takashi INOUE
