Abstract
An image processing apparatus is provided with: an acquirer configured to obtain an image including a first area and a second area, wherein the first area has a distortion that increases with increasing distance from an image center and the second area is in a predetermined angle range with respect to a straight line passing through the image center and extending in a horizontal axis, and the second area has a smaller distortion than that of the first area; and a corrector configured to perform a distortion correction process on the first area and but not to perform the distortion correction process on the second area.
Claims3
An image processing apparatus, which is mounted on a first movable body and which recognizes a second movable body moving around the first movable body from a photographed image of an area around the first movable body, comprising:
- at least one processing circuit, programmed to:
- obtain an image including a first area and a second area, wherein the first area has a distortion that increases with increasing distance from an image center and the second area is in a predetermined angle range with respect to a straight line passing through the image center and extending in a width direction which is a direction crossing a vertical direction of the first movable body, and the second area has a smaller distortion than that of the first area as the photographed image;
- and
- perform a distortion correction process on the first area and but not to perform the distortion correction process on the second area.
An imaging apparatus, which is mounted on a first movable body and which outputs an image of an area around the first movable body to an image processing apparatus configured to recognize a second movable body moving around the first movable body, comprising:
- a camera;
- and
- a free-curved surface lens of the camera configured to form an image, wherein the image includes a first area having a distortion that increases with increasing distance from a center, and the image includes a second area that is in a predetermined angle range with respect to a straight line passing through the center and extending in a width direction which is a direction crossing a vertical direction the first movable body, and the second area has a smaller distortion than that of the first area.
