  • Publication number: 20240104914
    Abstract: A learning model generates a plurality of prototype vectors and generates an integrated similarity vector that indicates similarity between an input image and each prototype for a plurality of prototypes in accordance with similarity between one prototype vector and each pixel vector in a feature map acquired from an CNN. An image processing apparatus obtains prototype belongingness (distributed prototype belongingness) for each image by distributing prototype belongingness of a belonged prototype of each class to each of two or more images that belong to one class. Then, the learning model is subjected to machine learning in accordance with the distributed prototype belongingness of each prototype vector for each image so that each prototype vector is brought closer to any pixel vector in the feature map corresponding to each image.

  • Patent number: 10339811
    Abstract: A technology for displaying images on a displaying apparatus mounted on a vehicle is provided. In response to a predetermined instruction signal, synthetic images viewed from a virtual viewpoint around and above the periphery of the vehicle are generated based on a plurality of images acquired from a plurality of cameras for capturing the periphery of the vehicle. The plurality of synthetic images, in which a position of a viewpoint moves sequentially varies such that the synthetic images move in a circle around the vehicle, are sequentially output to the displaying apparatus. Accordingly, the user monitors the entire circumference of the vehicle from the viewpoint where the user sees the vehicle in front of user's eyes, so that the user can intuitively recognize the positional relation between the vehicle and an obstacle from one screen.
