  • Patent number: 11273763
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes side cameras attached to a side portion of a vehicle and configured to provide an image obtained by capturing the rear of the side portion including a vehicle body region; a fisheye camera attached to a rear portion of the vehicle and configured to provide an image including the rear of the vehicle captured at a wide angle of view; a narrow-angle camera attached to the rear portion of the vehicle and configured to provide an image including the rear of the vehicle captured at a narrow angle of view; and a synthesizing unit configured to synthesize the image of the fisheye camera and the image of the narrow-angle camera corresponding to the vehicle body region of the image of the side camera in the vehicle body region.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11132817
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes a memory, and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to obtain an image of a first camera disposed on a vehicle such that an imaging range of the first camera includes a portion of a vehicle body and images of a second and third cameras that image an area of a blind spot caused by the portion of the vehicle body, combine a blind spot image corresponding to the area of the blind spot in the image of the second camera with the image of the first camera, obtain three-dimensional information of a rear vehicle with stereo vision of the second and third cameras, and store rear vehicle shape information, wherein the processor determines three-dimensional information corresponding to a portion of the rear vehicle, and combines the blind spot image with the image of the first camera using the determined three-dimensional information.

  • Patent number: 10189501
    Abstract: A parking assist apparatus includes a parking range identification unit that identifies a current parking range using vehicle speed information and steering angle information acquired from a vehicle along with movement of the vehicle, a display control unit that causes an image indicating the identified current parking range to be displayed in such a manner as to be superimposed on a vehicle-surroundings image, an estimated movement range calculation unit that, when no vehicle speed information can be acquired in a process of a gradual reduction in vehicle speed, calculates an estimated movement range of the vehicle using deceleration of the vehicle based on vehicle speed information acquired before a time when no vehicle speed information can be acquired, and the steering angle information, and an estimated movement range display unit that displays, around the image indicating the current parking range, an image indicating the calculated estimated movement range.
