Abstract
An image processing device includes: an obtainer which obtains, from an imaging device provided in a vehicle so as to be oriented to capture an image of an area behind the vehicle, an image captured by the imaging device; a position detector which detects a face position of a driver; and an image processor which performs image processing to clip, according to the face position detected by the position detector, an image having a range corresponding to the face position, out of a combined image including the image, and superimpose a position image indicating a position in the vehicle, on the image at a position corresponding to the face position, and outputs an image resulting from the image processing.
Claims15
An image processing device, comprising:
- an obtainer which obtains a first image from an imaging device provided in a vehicle, the first image being captured by the imaging device, the imaging device being oriented to capture an image of an area behind the vehicle;
- a position detector which detects a face position of a driver;
- and
- an image processor which performs image processing to clip, according to the face position detected by the position detector, a second image having a range corresponding to the face position, out of a target image including the first image, and superimpose a position image on the second image at a position corresponding to the face position, and outputs a third image resulting from the image processing, the position image indicating a position in the vehicle, wherein
- when the position detector detects that the face position has moved in one of left and right directions of the vehicle, the image processor moves a range in which the second image is to be clipped out of the target image to a position located in the other of the left and right directions of the vehicle relative to the range before the movement of the face position, and moves a position at which the position image is to be superimposed to a position located in the one of the left and right directions of the vehicle relative to the position before the movement of the face position.
An image processing device, comprising:
- an obtainer which obtains a first image from an imaging device provided in a vehicle, the first image being captured by the imaging device, the imaging device being oriented to capture an image of an area behind the vehicle;
- a position detector which detects a face position of a driver;
- and
- an image processor which performs image processing to clip, according to the face position detected by the position detector, a second image having a range corresponding to the face position, out of a target image including the first image, and superimpose a position image on the second image at a position corresponding to the face position, and outputs a third image resulting from the image processing, the position image indicating a position in the vehicle, wherein
- the position image is smaller than the second image and is a schematic diagram illustrating an accessory of the vehicle, the accessory being located behind the driver.
An image processing method, comprising:
- obtaining a first image from an imaging device provided in a vehicle, the first image being captured by the imaging device, the imaging device being oriented to capture an image of an area behind the vehicle;
- detecting a face position of a driver;
- clipping, according to the face position detected, a second image having a range corresponding to the face position, out of a target image including the first image, and superimposing a position image on the second image at a position corresponding to the face position, the position image indicating a position in the vehicle;
- performing image processing to, when the face position has moved in one of left and right directions of the vehicle, move a range in which the second image is to be clipped out of the target image to a position located in the other of the left and right directions of the vehicle relative to the range before the movement of the face position, and move a position at which the position image is to be superimposed to a position located in the one of the left and right directions of the vehicle relative to the position before the movement of the face position;
- and
- outputting a third image resulting from the image processing.
