Patent number: 10976438Abstract: According to an embodiment, a device includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry performs three-dimensional measurement of surroundings of a mobile object to obtain a three-dimensional point group. The processing circuitry calculates movement information. The processing circuitry makes a threshold value based on time series differences in the movement information. The processing circuitry extracts, from the three-dimensional group, three-dimensional points having distance to the mobile object in a moving direction of the mobile object to be equal to or smaller than the threshold value. The processing circuitry divides space, in which the three-dimensional points are present, into divided spaces in the moving direction. The processing circuitry selects a representative point for the divided space from among three-dimensional points included in the divided space.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2016Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBAInventors: Tsuyoshi Tasaki, Tsuyoshi Takatani, Mayu Okumura, Manabu Nishiyama

Patent number: 10896310Abstract: An example image processing device obtains first images capturing a street, on which a target vehicle is running, from a plurality of directions, and position information indicating positions at which the first images are taken, and associates a background object in a second image with a background object in a third image. The second image is an image which the target object is detected from and the third image is an image which is taken by an imaging device having a common imaging range with the second image among imaging devices mounted on the target vehicle. An output image is generated to include the position information indicating a position at which the second image is taken, the image of the detection rectangle which is clipped from the second image and includes the target object and the background object, and the first image of surroundings of the target vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2019Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBAInventors: Mayu Okumura, Tsuyoshi Tasaki, Tsuyoshi Takatani, Manabu Nishiyama
