Patent number: 12069397Abstract: A main video acquisition unit acquires main video data including a video area of a shape having a curved portion from a main picture-capturing unit installed at a predetermined position in a moving object. A sub-video acquisition unit acquires sub-video data from sub-picture capturing units installed at different positions in the moving object. A combiner combines video data that is generated on the basis of the sub-video data and has a shape fitting to a free area other than the video area of each frame of the main video data, and arranges the video data in the free area. A file generator generates one moving picture file based on the combined video data.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2022Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: JVCKENWOOD CorporationInventors: Hatsuaki Takami, Yoshihito Kinoshita, Kodai Nakamura, Hirotsugu Tsuchiya, Hideharu Endo
