Publication number: 20200039435Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2018Publication date: February 6, 2020Applicant: Chunghwa Picture Tubes, LTD.Inventors: Li-Chuan Chang, Chung-Lin Chia
