Abstract
Provided are an image processing apparatus and an image processing method for improving the accuracy of a recognition result of a current object included in captured images. The image processing apparatus performs recognition processing on the current object on the basis of recognition results of the current object obtained from a plurality of captured images with different output information regarding imaging so that the accuracy of the recognition result of the captured images can be improved. For example, the image processing method can be applied to an electronic device having a function of performing the recognition processing on the current object.
Claims10
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- a central processing unit (CPU) configured to:
- acquire a first plurality of captured images of a specific object from a first imaging element, wherein
- the first plurality of captured images is a plurality of image frames generated in time series,
- first output information of the first plurality of captured images is different from second output information of a second plurality of captured images of the specific object,
- the second plurality of captured images of the specific object is captured by a second imaging element,
- the first output information is associated with an imaging operation of the first plurality of captured images, and
- the second output information is associated with an imaging operation of the second plurality of captured images;
- execute a recognition process on the first plurality of captured images of the specific object;
- output a first recognition result of the specific object based on the execution of the recognition process;
- and
- synthesize the first recognition result and a second recognition result of the specific object, wherein the second recognition result of the specific object is based on the second plurality of captured images.
An image processing method, comprising:
- acquiring a first plurality of captured images of a specific object from a first imaging element, wherein
- the first plurality of captured images is a plurality of image frames generated in time series,
- first output information of the first plurality of captured images is different from second output information of a second plurality of captured images of the specific object,
- the second plurality of captured images of the specific object is captured by a second imaging element,
- the first output information is associated with an imaging operation of the first plurality of captured images, and
- the second output information is associated with an imaging operation of the second plurality of captured images;
- executing a recognition process on the first plurality of captured images of the specific object;
- outputting a first recognition result of the specific object based on the execution of the recognition process;
- and
- synthesizing the first recognition result and a second recognition result of the specific object, wherein the second recognition result of the specific object is based on the second plurality of captured images.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, having stored thereon computer-executable instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- acquiring a first plurality of captured images of a specific object from a first imaging element, wherein
- the first plurality of captured images is a plurality of image frames generated in time series,
- first output information of the first plurality of captured images is different from second output information of a second plurality of captured images of the specific object,
- the second plurality of captured images of the specific object is captured by a second imaging element,
- the first output information is associated with an imaging operation of the first plurality of captured images, and
- the second output information is associated with an imaging operation of the second plurality of captured images;
- executing a recognition process on the first plurality of captured images of the specific object;
- outputting a first recognition result of the specific object based on the execution of the recognition process;
- and
- synthesizing the first recognition result and a second recognition result of the specific object, wherein the second recognition result of the specific object is based on the second plurality of captured images.
