Camera module, information processing system, information processing method, and information processing apparatus

An information processing system including:

• a first camera including an optical axis facing obliquely rearward of a moving device, the first camera providing a first image stream for a camera monitoring system (CMS);
• a second camera that is stored in a housing same as the first camera and includes an optical axis facing a direction closer to a front direction of the moving device than the optical axis of the first camera, the second camera providing a second image stream for an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS);
• a first display that is used by the CMS and displays an image based on the first image stream to be viewed by a driver;
• a recognition circuit configured to perform external object recognition of the moving device on the basis of the second image stream;
• and
• a display control circuit configured to display by the first display the first image stream and a visual effect based on a result of object recognition by the recognition circuit, wherein the visual effect is superimposed on the first image stream.

An information processing method comprising:

• controlling display, by a display for a camera monitoring system (CMS) that displays an image to be viewed by a driver, of an image based on a first image captured by a first camera whose optical axis faces obliquely rearward of a moving device;
• performing external object recognition of the moving device on a basis of a second image captured by a second camera that is stored in a housing same as the first camera and includes an optical axis facing a direction closer to a front direction of the moving device than the optical axis of the first camera;
• controlling display, by the display, of a visual effect based on a result of the object recognition, wherein the visual effect is superimposed on the first image;
• detecting a state of the moving device;
• and
• changing a display range of the image based on the first image displayed on the first display in response to the detected state of the moving device.

An information processing apparatus comprising

• a display control circuit configured to control display of a display used for a camera monitoring system (CMS) that displays an image to be viewed by a driver,
• wherein the display control circuit is configured to
• control display by the display of an image based on a first image captured by a first camera whose optical axis facing obliquely rearward of a moving device, and a visual effect based on a result of external object recognition of the moving device based on a second image captured by a second camera that is stored in a housing same as the first camera and that includes an optical axis facing a direction closer to a front direction of the moving device than the optical axis of the first camera, the visual effect being superimposed on the first image;
• receive a detected state of the moving device;
• and
• change a display range of the image based on the first image displayed on the first display in response to the detected state of the moving device.
