  • Publication number: 20200039435
    Abstract: An onboard camera system for eliminating A-pillar blind areas of a mobile vehicle and an image processing method thereof are provided. The onboard camera system arranged on the mobile vehicle includes an image capturing device, a processor, and a display device. The image capturing device captures blind area images obscured by the A-pillars. The blind area images captured at a first time point and a second time point are called a first image and a second image, and a photoshooting angle of the image capturing device stays unchanged at the first and second time points. The processor receives the first and second images from the image capturing device. The processor obtains an image depth of an object based on the first and second images to further generate a third image. The display device displays the third image to enable a driver to see the scene obscured by the A-pillars.

  • Patent number: 10277926
    Abstract: A block-base error measure method for object segmentation includes the steps of dividing a reference image having an object into plural non-overlapping blocks, superimposing the reference image with a segmented image to obtain an error ratio of the block to define an enhanced equation and a modification equation to suppress the scattered error and enhance the contribution of the region error, so as to calculate the error amount of the segmented image and evaluate the performance of image segmentation. Compared with the conventional error measure method based on pixels, the present invention provides a more accurate high-level semantic.
