Patent number: 11703948Abstract: In an image adjustment system, an image display device displays a captured image that is adjusted by an image adjustment device. The image adjustment device includes an image processor and an image generator. The image generator generates a spherical surface image. The image processor acquires the spherical surface image from the image generator to display the spherical surface image on the image display device on the basis of instruction information output from a controller. The image generator adjusts the captured image in accordance with a rotation of the spherical surface image, corrects camera shake in the captured image adjusted, and determines that a travel direction of a camera is changed when the captured image that is camera-shake corrected is changed by a predetermined angle or greater.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2021Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: JVCKENWOOD CORPORATIONInventor: Takashi Himukashi

Patent number: 11417050Abstract: A region image extractor extracts a region image from an omnidirectional image or a superimposed image obtained by superimposing a sphere image on the omnidirectional image. An image rotation unit corrects the tilt of the horizontal plane of the omnidirectional image by rotating the omnidirectional image through an operation to rotate the sphere image while the region image of the superimposed image is displayed on the head-mounted display. A vanishing point detector detects a vanishing point of the omnidirectional image. A front setting unit determines the front of the omnidirectional image based on the vanishing point and rotates the omnidirectional image so that the front of the omnidirectional image corresponds to the region image extracted when the user is facing forward.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2020Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: JVCKENWOOD CORPORATIONInventor: Takashi Himukashi

Patent number: 11412151Abstract: A measurement unit measures a first generation time of a first vanishing point of a plurality of radially diverging motion vectors generated in a front image region and a second generation time of a second vanishing point of a plurality of converging motion vectors generated in the front image region within a predetermined period of time in a state in which an image rotation unit adjusts positions of the front image region and a rear image region in a circumferential direction. The image rotation unit keeps the positions of the front image region and the rear image region in the circumferential direction when the first generation time measured by the measurement unit is longer than the second generation time, and rotates the captured image to reverse the front image region and the rear image region when the first generation time is not longer than the second generation time.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2021Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: JVCKENWOOD CORPORATIONInventors: Toshitaka Murata, Takashi Himukashi, Yu Hojo
