Abstract
An image correction system, which is capable of transmitting data indicating an image captured by a vehicle-mounted camera to a display device via a vehicle device and an external device, is configured to: detect, with respect to a predetermined orientation, an inclination of a photographed image that indicates the image captured by the camera; and correct the detected inclination of the photographed image to a target orientation and generating a display image to be displayed on the display device.
Claims23
An image correction system, which is capable of transmitting data indicating an image captured by a camera to a display device via a vehicle device and an external device, the camera and the vehicle device being mounted to a vehicle and the external device being disposed outside the vehicle,
- the image correction system comprising:
- an inclination detection unit detecting, with respect to a predetermined orientation, an inclination of a photographed image that indicates the image captured by the camera;
- and
- a correction processing unit performing a correction by correcting the inclination of the photographed image, which is detected by the inclination detection unit, to a target orientation and generating a display image to be displayed on the display device,
- the inclination detection unit detects the inclination of the photographed image (i) based on the photographed image which includes structural objects or markers disposed in the vehicle such that a left-right direction or an up-down direction of the vehicle can be recognized or (ii) based on a left-right direction or an up-down direction of an object included in the photographed image capturing a landscape outside the vehicle by performing image recognition to the photographed image, and
- the image correction system corrects the inclination of the photographed image by using the photographed image itself without using a sensor that detects an inclination of the vehicle.
A vehicle device mounted to a vehicle, the vehicle being mounted with a camera, the vehicle device comprising:
- a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium;
- and
- a computer, by executing a program stored in the computer-readable non-transitory storage, configured to:
- detect, with respect to a predetermined orientation, an inclination of a photographed image that indicates an image captured by the camera;
- generate a display image to be displayed on a display device by correcting the detected inclination of the photographed image to a target orientation;
- and
- transmit, to an external device disposed outside the vehicle, the generated display image to be displayed on the display device, wherein
- detecting the inclination of the photographed image is (i) based on the photographed image which includes structural objects or markers disposed in the vehicle such that a left-right direction or an up-down direction of the vehicle can be recognized or (ii) based on a left-right direction or an up-down direction of an object included in the photographed image capturing a landscape outside the vehicle by performing image recognition to the photographed image, and
- the inclination of the photographed image is corrected by using the photographed image itself without using a sensor that detects an inclination of the vehicle.
A server device disposed outside of a vehicle and communicating with a vehicle device mounted to the vehicle, the server device comprising:
- a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium;
- and
- a computer, by executing a program stored in the computer-readable non-transitory storage, configured to:
- receive, from the vehicle device, a photographed image captured by a camera mounted on the vehicle;
- detect, with respect to a predetermined orientation, an inclination of the photographed image;
- generate a display image to be displayed on a display device by correcting the detected inclination of the photographed image to a target orientation;
- and
- transmit the generated display image to the display device, wherein
- detecting the inclination of the photographed image is (i) based on the photographed image which includes structural objects or markers disposed in the vehicle such that a left-right direction or an up-down direction of the vehicle can be recognized or (ii) based on a left-right direction or an up-down direction of an object included in the photographed image capturing a landscape outside the vehicle by performing image recognition to the photographed image, and
- the inclination of the photographed image is corrected by using the photographed image itself without using a sensor that detects an inclination of the vehicle.
An image correction system, which is capable of transmitting data indicating an image captured by a camera to a display device via a vehicle device and an external device, the camera and the vehicle device being mounted to a vehicle and the external device being disposed outside the vehicle,
- the image correction system comprising:
- an inclination detection unit detecting, with respect to a predetermined orientation, an inclination of a photographed image that indicates the image captured by the camera;
- and
- a correction processing unit performing a correction by correcting the inclination of the photographed image, which is detected by the inclination detection unit, to a target orientation and generating a display image to be displayed on the display device,
- the inclination detection unit detects the inclination of the photographed image based on the photographed image which includes structural objects or markers disposed in the vehicle such that a left-right direction or an up-down direction of the vehicle can be recognized.
A vehicle device mounted to a vehicle, the vehicle being mounted with a camera, the vehicle device comprising:
- a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium;
- and
- a computer, by executing a program stored in the computer-readable non-transitory storage, configured to:
- detect, with respect to a predetermined orientation, an inclination of a photographed image that indicates an image captured by the camera;
- generate a display image to be displayed on a display device by correcting the detected inclination of the photographed image to a target orientation;
- and
- transmit, to an external device disposed outside the vehicle, the generated display image to be displayed on the display device, wherein
- detecting the inclination of the photographed image is based on the photographed image which includes structural objects or markers disposed in the vehicle such that a left-right direction or an up-down direction of the vehicle can be recognized.
A server device disposed outside of a vehicle and communicating with a vehicle device mounted to the vehicle, the server device comprising:
- a computer-readable non-transitory storage medium;
- and
- a computer, by executing a program stored in the computer-readable non-transitory storage, configured to:
- receive, from the vehicle device, a photographed image captured by a camera mounted on the vehicle;
- detect, with respect to a predetermined orientation, an inclination of the photographed image;
- generate a display image to be displayed on a display device by correcting the detected inclination of the photographed image to a target orientation;
- and
- transmit the generated display image to the display device, wherein
- detecting the inclination of the photographed image is based on the photographed image which includes structural objects or markers disposed in the vehicle such that a left-right direction or an up-down direction of the vehicle can be recognized.
