  • Publication number: 20240378804
    Abstract: An imaging planning method includes: applying a virtual solid figure having a predetermined shape to a virtual object imitating a shape of a solid object for which a three-dimensional model is to be generated; performing repetition of arrangement of positions of virtual cameras based on a position on a surface of the virtual solid figure, imaging of the virtual object by the virtual cameras after the arrangement, and an increase in the number of the virtual cameras; determining the number and positions of the virtual cameras required to acquire of virtual images regarding the virtual object required to generate a three-dimensional model of the virtual object through the repetition; and planning, based on the number and the positions of the virtual cameras, the number and positions of cameras required to acquire images regarding the solid object that are to be required to generate the three-dimensional model of the solid object.

  • Publication number: 20230325971
    Abstract: An image synthesis device includes processing circuitry to acquire a plurality of images captured from different viewpoints and to select images adjoining each other from the plurality of images; to calculate an overlap region as a region where the adjoining images overlap with each other; to determine a boundary line between images in the overlap region; and to execute blending of images in the overlap region. When at least one of the adjoining images includes a priority region, the processing circuitry determines the boundary line that does not overlap with a blend region in a vicinity of the priority region as a region determined depending on a blending method used for blending of an image of the priority region, and the processing circuitry executes the blending of the images in the overlap region based on the boundary line.

  • Publication number: 20210366132
    Abstract: An image processing device includes processing circuitry to record each of the captured images in a storage device while associating the captured image with identification information on the image capturing device that captured the captured image and time information indicating an image capture time; to calculate an estimated movement amount of each of the image capturing devices; and repeatedly to execute a deviation correction process, wherein in regard to each of the image capturing devices, the processing circuitry acquires the captured images in a designated period from the storage device, obtains movement amounts in adjacent image periods based on captured images arranged in chronological order, and obtains the estimated movement amount by calculation using the movement amounts in the adjacent image periods.

  • Publication number: 20190007585
    Abstract: A position specifying unit specifies installation positions of cameras at which a subject region received by a region receiving unit can be captured on the basis of a camera condition received by the condition receiving unit. A virtual video generating unit generates virtual captured videos obtained by capturing a CG space with the cameras in a case where the cameras are installed at the specified installation positions, and performs overhead-conversion on the generated virtual captured videos and combines the virtual captured videos to generate a virtual synthetic video. A display unit displays the generated virtual synthetic video on a display.
