  • Publication number: 20080112646
    Abstract: In an image determining apparatus, a subject-shape presuming unit extracts a shape of a specified subject to be determined based on subject-area position information and structure/surface-height map information, a subject-feature-point extracting unit extracts a feature point based on the shape of the subject to be determined. Further, an other-object-influence determining unit generates number information based on camera data, the feature point, and the height of a group of surrounding objects, an other-object-influence index calculator calculates an other-object-influence index based on the number information, and a display processor displays video picture data based on the other-object-influence index on a display device.

  • Publication number: 20080049105
    Abstract: Camera installation flexibility on a moving object can be increased and accuracy in identifying the moving object improved by identifying a moving object origin trajectory as a potential position at which the moving object origin exists under the following conditions: 1) A distance between the moving object origin position and a reference virtual camera is constant. 2) A direction of virtual camera VCij as viewed from the moving object coordinate system (moving object origin Om) is constant (angle formed by two lines that direct to marker Pj and to the moving object origin position Cij as viewed from the virtual camera VCij is constant.) 3) Virtual camera VCij exists on marker circle (angle between markers Pi and Pj as viewed from virtual camera VCij is constant). It is possible to identify the position of moving object M by calculating the intersecting point of each moving object origin trajectory T upon multiple trajectories of moving object origin existing.

  • Publication number: 20070124060
    Abstract: The position detecting device includes a travel speed detecting unit, an optical flow calculating unit, a distance calculating unit, and a position detecting unit. The travel speed detecting unit detects a travel speed of a mobile object moving on an arbitrary route. The optical flow calculating unit calculates an optical flow of one side of the mobile object, based on a series of frame images of the one side. The one side is any one of a left side and a right side of the mobile object. The distance calculating unit calculates a distance to a subject on the one side based on the travel speed and the optical flow. The position detecting unit detects a current position of the mobile object based on point data of the subject and the distance to the subject.
