  • Publication number: 20230294686
    Abstract: The present invention provides a driving support device that performs driving support of a vehicle, comprising: a detector configured to detect a surrounding situation of the vehicle; a control unit configured to operate the driving support of the vehicle in a case where a positional relationship between a detected target by the detector and the vehicle satisfies an operating condition; a specifying unit configured to specify a traveling course of the vehicle; and a determination unit configured to determine whether there is an intersecting structure that three-dimensionally intersects a traveling road of the vehicle in the specified traveling course, wherein in a case where the determination unit determines that there is the intersecting structure in the traveling course, the control unit changes the operating condition such that operation of the driving support with respect to the detected target is restricted.

  • Patent number: 9787954
    Abstract: Provided are a pixel interpolation apparatus, imaging apparatus, program, and integrated circuit that appropriately perform pixel interpolation on an image signal obtained by a single-chip image sensor with a four-color array filter whatever array pattern the four-color array filter has. An imaging apparatus includes an imaging circuitry, a signal processing circuitry, and a pixel interpolation processing circuitry. The apparatus calculates a degree of correlation for pairs in two orthogonal directions for an image signal obtained by the imaging circuitry including a single-chip image sensor having a four-color array filter using pixel data in an area around a target pixel, and performs pixel interpolation using the correlation degree as a determination criterion.

  • Patent number: 9679358
    Abstract: A pixel interpolation processing apparatus and an image capturing apparatus are provided that are capable of performing a pixel interpolation process properly even when the pattern of color filter array is unknown. An imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit having a single-chip image sensor having four-color filter array for obtaining an image signal, and the imaging apparatus uses pixel data for a surrounding area around a target pixel to calculate a plurality of sets of correlation values in two directions orthogonal to each other, and determines the correlation direction based on these correlation values.

  • Patent number: 9294743
    Abstract: An image capture apparatus 1000 includes an image capture unit C1, a signal processor unit C2, and a pixel interpolation unit 100. In the image capture apparatus 1000, with respect to an image signal captured by the image capture unit C1 which includes a single image sensor having three-color filters in arbitrary colors, a plurality of pairs of correlation degrees of two directions which are perpendicular to each other are obtained using image data of pixels provided around an observed pixel, and a pixel interpolation process is carried out using the correlation degrees as a reference for determination.
