  • Image processing device and method to obtain a 360° image without remapping
    Patent number: 10713525
    Abstract: [Object] To obtain a more useful image when an image including a 360° view around the camera is used without being remapped. [Solution] Provided is an image processing device including: an image acquisition unit that acquires a 360° image; and a rotational angle computation unit that computes a rotational angle of the 360° image in a manner that a reference point included in the 360° image is positioned in a designated orientation with respect to a center of the 360° image.

  • Image processing device, image processing method, and program to capture an image using fisheye lens
    Patent number: 9800780
    Abstract: [Object] To obtain more useful images when images taken using a fisheye lens are used without being remapped. [Solution] Provided is an image processing device including: an image acquisition unit that acquires taken images taken in chronological succession via a fisheye lens; a vector acquisition unit that acquires motion vectors from the taken images; and a point detection unit that detects a point of origin or a point of convergence of the motion vectors.

  • Bag with a grip
    Publication number: 20050126873
    Abstract: An auxiliary member is fixed to a bag, and a grip is attached to the bag perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal direction of the bag. An end of the grip is latched to an opening provided in the auxiliary member. A medical study shows that strain on the hand is mitigated since the grip is maintained perpendicular while the bag is being carried.
