  • Patent number: 11219829
    Abstract: An example image processing apparatus disposes a virtual camera and a terrain object in a virtual space, and generates grass objects at a predetermined region located with reference to a land horizon that is a boundary between the terrain object and a background as viewed from the virtual camera. A player character is displayed at a position closer to the virtual camera, and the grass objects are generated in the predetermined region located with reference to the land horizon. Therefore, the terrain can be represented to look real, and the player character can be more easily seen.

  • Patent number: 11219830
    Abstract: A non-limiting example game system comprises a processor incorporated in a main body apparatus, and the processor causes a player character to dig the ground based on an operation input of a player, thereby to form a hole. Water is placed in the hole, whereby a water place is formed. A shape of the water place is changed by expanding the hole, and when the water place has a long shape, the water is controlled so as to flow. When the water place is not a long shape, the water does not flow. That is, a river or a pond is formed in a game field based on an operation input of the player. When causing a player character to perform fishing based on an operation input of the player, different processing is executed between the river and the pond.

  • Patent number: 11172108
    Abstract: Provided is an imaging device that is able to obtain a clear image in a relatively long distance in an environment of precipitation. A rainy weather camera includes: a light source that emits pulse light; a fan-shaped pulse light radiation unit that performs scanning in one direction with the pulse light emitted by the light source, spreads, in a direction perpendicular to the scanning direction, the pulse light for the scanning when the scanning is performed, and radiates the pulse light, which is in a state of being polarized in the direction perpendicular to the scanning direction, to an object; an imaging unit that receives reflection light from the object and performs exposure to a pixel; and a polarization filter that transmits light that is included in the reflection light received by the imaging unit and polarized to be parallel to the scanning direction. The imaging unit performs exposure only to a pixel which is synchronized with the scanning with the pulse light.
