Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes a communication interface configured to receive a first captured image capturing a face of a subject in a moving body, and a controller configured to change at least one of a position and a size of a specific region in either the first captured image or a second captured image different from the first captured image, according to at least one of a position and an orientation of the face of the subject determined on the basis of the first captured image, as well as a direction of a line-of-sight of the subject.
Claims12
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a communication interface configured to receive a first captured image capturing a face of a subject in a moving body and to output an image of a specific region, which is clipped from either the first captured image or a second captured image different from the first captured image, to a display apparatus mounted in the moving body;
- and
- a controller configured to
- determine a direction of a line-of-sight of the subject and at least one of a position and an orientation of the face of the subject based on the first captured image, and
- change, as the specific region appears in the display apparatus, at least one of a position and a size of the specific region based on the determined direction of a line-of-sight of the subject and at least one of a position and an orientation of the face of the subject.
An imaging apparatus comprising:
- a camera configured to generate a captured image capturing an area outside a moving body;
- a communication interface configured to acquire information indicating at least one of a position and an orientation of a face of a subject in the moving body, as well as a direction of a line-of-sight of the subject, and to output an image of a specific region, which is clipped from either the captured image, to a display apparatus mounted in the moving body;
- and
- a controller configured to change, as the specific region appears in the display apparatus, at least one of a position and a size of the specific region based on information.
An imaging apparatus comprising:
- a camera configured to generate a first captured image capturing a face of a subject in a moving body;
- a controller configured to
- determine a direction of a line-of-sight of the subject and at least one of a position and an orientation of the face of the subject based on the first captured image, and
- change, as a specific region appears in a display apparatus, at least one of a position and a size of the specific region based on the determined direction of a line-of-sight of the subject and at least one of a position and an orientation of the face of the subject;
- and
- a communication interface configured to output information to the display apparatus indicating the specific region in the second captured image or an image of the specific region clipped from the first captured image.
A camera monitor system comprising:
- an image processing apparatus including
- a communication interface configured to receive a first captured image capturing a face of a subject in a moving body, and to output an image of a specific region, which is clipped from either the captured image, to a display apparatus mounted in the moving body, and
- a controller configured to
- determine a direction of a line-of-sight of the subject and at least one of a position and an orientation of the face of the subject based on the first captured image, and
- change, as the specific region appears in the display apparatus, at least one of a position and a size of the specific region based on the determined direction of a line-of-sight of the subject and at least one of a position and an orientation of the face of the subject, wherein
- the display apparatus is configured to display the image of the specific region.
An image processing method comprising:
- receiving a first captured image capturing a face of a subject in a moving body;
- determining a direction of a line-of-sight of the subject and at least one of a position and an orientation of the face of the subject based on the first captured image;
- changing, as a specific region appears in a display apparatus, based on the determined direction of a line-of-sight of the subject and at least one of a position and an orientation of the face of the subject, at least one of a position and a size of the specific region, which is clipped from either the first captured image or a second captured image different from the first captured image;
- and
- outputting an image of the specific region to the display apparatus mounted in the moving body.
