TLDR
In this article, a vehicle peripheral image processor includes: a plurality of camera modules 12 for photographing the periphery of a vehicle; an image conversion part 23a for compositing coordinate transformed images for which images picked up by the respective camera module 12 are projected on the ground and preparing bird's-eye view images; a three-dimensional object identifying part 23b for identifying the state of the 3D object present around the vehicle, on the basis of the state image over the boundary line of the coordinate transformed image included in the bird's eye view images, and a distance calculatingAbstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To identify the state of a three-dimensional object present around a vehicle and to present an accurate distance to the three-dimensional object. SOLUTION: The vehicle peripheral image processor includes: a plurality of camera modules 12 for photographing the periphery of a vehicle; an image conversion part 23a for compositing coordinate transformed images for which images picked up by the respective camera modules 12 are projected on the ground and preparing bird's-eye view images; a three-dimensional object identifying part 23b for identifying the state of the three-dimensional object present around the vehicle, on the basis of the state of an object image over the boundary line of the coordinate transformed images included in the bird's-eye view images; a distance calculating part 23c for computing the distance from the vehicle to the three-dimensional object on the basis of the state of the three-dimensional object; and a display processing part 23d for displaying the bird's-eye view images processed, on the basis of the distance from the vehicle to the three-dimensional object.

Image processing device
Mariko Takahashi,Narihiro Matoba +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a pattern matching processing unit 10 binarizes input image data 1, compares a binarized pattern with a pattern provided for each of groups, and outputs either first information indicating a group to which a pattern that matches the binarised pattern belongs or second information indicating no match.
Patent
Obstacle detector for vehicle
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an obstacle detector for a vehicle which generates by itself a state view of an overlooked visual point that can use a plurality of images recorded by a camera to discriminate an obstacle from an area except the obstacle.
Patent
Vehicle accessibility determination device
TL;DR: In this paper, an image convertor converts an original image captured by a front camera into a virtual image, which includes a road surface around a vehicle, and a three-dimensional object detector detects from a VR image a 3D object having a height from the road surface and a vehicle accessibility determiner determines whether the vehicle can access to the inside of the detected threedimensional object or to a clearance among other 3D objects.
Patent
Vehicle periphery monitoring device, vehicle periphery monitoring method and program
TL;DR: In this article, a vehicle periphery monitoring device for grasping presence/absence of an object distant upward from the road surface as an example is presented. But it is not shown how to determine whether or not there is an object in the imaging area.
Patent
Apparatus and method for warning an obstacle in rear and side of vehicle
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an apparatus for warning in the rear side of a vehicle by extracting multiple characteristic points from the image converted by the image converting part and detecting an object on the rear image.
