  • Patent number: 10616570
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an acquiring unit and a determining unit. For example, the acquiring unit acquires an imaging image captured by a camera mounted on a vehicle and registers the acquired imaging image in drive recorder information. When a vanishing point is detected from the imaging image, the determining unit determines that the imaging direction of the imaging device is normal such that the front of the vehicle is normally imaged. When the vanishing point is not detected from the acquired the imaging image, the determining unit determines that the imaging direction of the imaging device is abnormal such that the front of the vehicle is not normally imaged.

  • Patent number: 10230946
    Abstract: An image processing device includes an acquisition unit, an extraction unit, and a detection unit. The acquisition unit acquires image data for each of frame numbers from a drive recorder or the like. The extraction unit extracts a plurality of straight lines from the image data on the basis of drive recorder information. The detection unit detects a tilt of an image capturing direction of a camera according to a magnitude of an angle between a vertical axis direction of the image data and the extracted plurality of lines.

  • Patent number: 10026178
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an acquiring unit, and determining unit. The acquiring unit acquires captured images from an imaging device mounted on a vehicle. The determining unit determines the normality of the imaging direction of the imaging device in accordance with whether an appearance pattern of a combination of a portion in which a variation is detected and a portion in which a variation is not detected among the acquired captured images corresponds to a predetermined pattern.

  • Patent number: 9928429
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a calculating unit and a detecting unit. The calculating unit calculates an additional value of a luminance values for each coordinate value in a first direction. The calculating unit calculates an additional value of the luminance values for each coordinate value in a second direction. The detecting unit detects a region of the image in which additional values of the luminance values for each coordinate value in the first direction are equal or a region in which additional values of the luminance values for each coordinate value in the second direction are equal.

  • Patent number: 9639763
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus 10 according to an embodiment includes a detection unit 11 and an identification unit 12. The detection unit 11 included in the image processing apparatus 10 detects a region in which a pixel value is changed between frames included in moving image data. The detection unit 11 outputs a detected result to the identification unit 12. The identification unit 12 sets a circumscribed rectangle to the region detected by the detection unit 11. The identification unit 12 specifies a frame including a detection target based on a filling ratio of the region to the circumscribed rectangle.

  • Publication number: 20150178577
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus according to an embodiment has an identification unit, a detection unit, and a determination unit. The image processing apparatus according to the embodiment identifies moving image data taken by a camera in the night-time and detects a high-brightness region from frames of the identified moving image data. The image processing apparatus determines whether or not the high-brightness region is a subject to be detected, in a switchable manner depending on whether the moving image data has been taken during curve running or straight running.

  • Publication number: 20030187704
    Abstract: Information about a driver of a vehicle is received from the vehicle. A driving response estimating section estimates any one or both of driving response and behavior recommendable to the driver. The estimated information for driving response and behavior is transmitted to the vehicle. Another information about the driver after transmission of the estimated driving response and behavior information to the driver is received. A comparing section compares the received information with the estimated driving response and behavior information. An insurance premium setting section sets a premium to the driver.
