  • Patent number: 11249308
    Abstract: Display device included in a moving body includes road information acquisition unit that acquires road information about a road in a traveling direction of the moving body and display controller that displays a virtual image illustrating at least one graphic as seen from the moving body on a display medium while superimposing the virtual image on a real space in the traveling direction when the at least one graphic is assumed to be disposed at a predetermined position in the traveling direction. Display controller updates a mode of the at least one graphic using the road information acquired by the road information acquisition unit, and displays the virtual image illustrating the updated at least one graphic on the display medium.

  • Patent number: 10796415
    Abstract: An image processing device includes: a first obtainer that obtains a captured image from an imaging device that captures a view in front of a vehicle; a second obtainer that obtains a remaining distance to a next guide point; an image processor that performs image processing on a specified region, in the captured image, corresponding to a position distanced by the remaining distance; and an output unit that outputs the captured image processed by the image processor, wherein the image processor controls an edge strength of a subject in the specified region, in accordance with the remaining distance.

  • Patent number: 10778951
    Abstract: A camerawork generating method includes: generating, from a multi-view video of a same scene captured from different viewpoints, a three-dimensional model for the scene; determining a target scene which is included in the scene and is a target for which a free-viewpoint video of the three-dimensional model as viewed from a virtual camera is to be generated; and generating a camerawork representing a temporal change in a position and an orientation of the virtual camera in the free-viewpoint video.

  • Patent number: 10217360
    Abstract: An information notification method includes obtaining a parking time limit during which a user is allowed to continuously park a vehicle at a parking lot, measuring a travel time required for the user to move from the parking lot to a destination, obtaining a round trip time required for the user to make a round trip between the destination and the parking lot, calculating a remaining time during which the user is allowed to stay at the destination by subtracting, from the parking time limit, the round trip time and an elapsed time measured from when the user has reached the destination, determining whether the remaining time is less than or equal to a threshold value preset to zero or greater, and notifying the user that the remaining time is short if it is determined that the remaining time is less than or equal to the threshold value.
