  • Patent number: 10750093
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10611308
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10343603
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20190066382
    Abstract: A driving support device includes a generation portion which generates a picture of a first virtual vehicle and a superimposition portion which superimposes the picture the first virtual vehicle on a surrounding image showing a vicinity of a present vehicle. The picture of the first virtual vehicle is moved, ahead of a current position of the present vehicle, along a guide route up to a destination of the present vehicle in the surrounding image.

  • Publication number: 20190031098
    Abstract: An information output device according to an embodiment includes a detection unit, a display control unit, and a sound control unit. The detection unit detects an operation of a user that is executed on an input unit that is connected to a display unit. The display control unit displays, on the display unit, a notification screen that presents predetermined notification information to the user. The sound control unit outputs a notification sound that is associated with display of the notification screen that is executed by the display control unit. Furthermore, the sound control unit limits output of the notification sound for a period of time when an operation of the user is detected by the detection unit.
