Abstract
A distance information generation apparatus includes: at least one processor, and at least one memory storing program instructions, where, by executing the program instructions, the at least one processor is configured to: divide a first image captured by an imaging device into a plurality of blocks; determine direction movement values for at least one block among the plurality of divided blocks as targets; control an imaging direction of the imaging device based on the direction movement values of the at least one block; and acquire distance information for the at least one block based on a second image captured by the imaging device.
Claims20
A distance information generation apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing program instructions,
- wherein, by executing the program instructions, the at least one processor is configured to:
- divide a first image captured by an imaging device into a plurality of blocks;
- determine direction movement values for at least one block among the plurality of divided blocks as targets;
- control an imaging direction of the imaging device based on the direction movement values of the at least one block;
- and
- acquire distance information for the at least one block based on a second image captured by the imaging device.
A distance information comprising:
- at least one processor;
- at least one memory storing program instructions,
- wherein, by executing the program instructions, the at least one processor is configured to:
- divide a first image captured by an imaging device into a plurality of blocks;
- determine direction movement values for capturing at least one block among the plurality of divided blocks as targets;
- control an imaging direction of the imaging device based on the direction movement values of the at least one block;
- and
- acquire, through a distance sensor connected to the imaging device, distance information for the at least one block.
A distance information generation method performed by an apparatus having at least one processor and at least one memory that stores program instructions executed by the at least one processor, the distance information generation method comprising:
- dividing a first image captured by an imaging device into a plurality of blocks;
- determining direction movement values for capturing at least one block among the plurality of divided blocks as targets;
- controlling an imaging direction of the imaging device based on the direction movement values of the at least one block;
- and
- acquiring distance information for the at least one block based on a second image captured by the imaging device.
