  • Patent number: 8948925
    Abstract: To provide a technology of determining a status of image information based on the image information of images captured by an image capturing device. A video processing method to process video information of an image capturing device mounted on a moving body, includes detecting an analysis target from video information of images captured by the image capturing device, determining a status of the video information on the basis of information on the analysis target and outputting a result of the determination.

  • Patent number: 8594377
    Abstract: An image recognition part of an image recognition apparatus recognizes an object based on a target area in an outside-vehicle image obtained by a camera installed in a vehicle. A position identifying part identifies an optical axis position of the camera relative to the vehicle based on the outside-vehicle image, and an area changing part changes a position of the target area in the outside-vehicle image according to the optical axis position of the camera. Therefore, it is possible to recognize an object properly based on the target area in the outside-vehicle image even though the optical axis position of the camera is displaced.

  • Publication number: 20110128136
    Abstract: There is provided an on-vehicle device including an image acquisition unit, a moving-object detector, a display unit, a switching unit, and a switching instruction unit. The image acquisition unit acquires an image obtained by imaging a peripheral image around a vehicle. The moving-object detector, when the vehicle approaches an intersection, detects whether there is a moving object approaching the vehicle as an own vehicle from a left or a right direction of the intersection based on the peripheral image. The switching unit switches between images in a plurality of systems input to a display unit. The switching instruction unit instructs to switch to the peripheral image when the moving object is detected.
