Patent number: 10750093Abstract: An image processing device according to an embodiment includes an image acquisition unit, an information acquisition unit, a generation unit, and a composition unit. The image acquisition unit acquires a captured image where an image of an environment of a vehicle is captured by an image-capturing device. The information acquisition unit acquires information regarding a detected position of an obstacle that exists in an environment of the vehicle. The generation unit generates a virtual viewpoint image where an environment of the vehicle is viewed from a virtual viewpoint, based on the captured image that is acquired by the image acquisition unit. The composition unit composites a notification image that provides notification of existence of the obstacle at the detected position with the virtual viewpoint image and composites a vehicle image with the virtual viewpoint image.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2017Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignees: DENSO TEN Limited, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yukiko Hatakeyama, Kouei Kiyo, Tamaki Takeuchi, Rie Habuta, Akinari Motohiro, Tomoyuki Sato, Kohei Maejima, Atsutoshi Sakaguchi, Masahiro Takahashi

Patent number: 10611308Abstract: An image generation device according to an embodiment includes a synthesis unit and a superimposition unit. The synthesis unit synthesizes an overview image for a virtual viewpoint that is provided in a manner to look in a direction of travel of a vehicle so as to include at least a portion of a side of the vehicle based on a taken image that is taken by an image-taking unit that is provided on the vehicle. The superimposition unit superimposes a plane image where a vehicle has been caused to be planar, at a position of the vehicle on a road surface, on an overview image that is synthesized by the synthesis unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2017Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignees: DENSO TEN LIMITED, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yukiko Hatakeyama, Kouei Kiyo, Tamaki Takeuchi, Rie Habuta, Akinari Motohiro, Tomoyuki Sato, Kohei Maejima, Atsutoshi Sakaguchi, Masahiro Takahashi

Patent number: 10343603Abstract: An image processing device according to an embodiment includes an image acquisition unit, an information acquisition unit, a generation unit, a composition unit, a determination unit, and a display control unit. The image acquisition unit acquires a captured image where an image of an environment of a vehicle is captured by an image-capturing device. The information acquisition unit acquires positional information regarding a detected position of an obstacle that exists in an environment of the vehicle. The generation unit generates a virtual viewpoint image where an environment of the vehicle is viewed from a virtual viewpoint, based on the captured image. The composition unit composites a notification image that provides notification of existence of the obstacle at the detected position with the virtual viewpoint image. The display control unit controls a display format of the notification image that is composited with the virtual viewpoint image, based on the positional information.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2017Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignees: DENSO TEN LIMITED, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Yukiko Hatakeyama, Kouei Kiyo, Tamaki Takeuchi, Rie Habuta, Akinari Motohiro, Tomoyuki Sato, Kohei Maejima, Atsutoshi Sakaguchi, Masahiro Takahashi
