AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing image processing systems, such as those in vehicles and industrial robots, struggle to accurately capture images with a wide dynamic range due to flickering caused by LEDs, and current methods fail to accurately determine the shape of the pixel region where flickering occurs, affecting feature point matching and pose estimation.

Method used

An image processing device that detects flicker for each pixel using different exposure times, calculates the shape of the flicker region, and synthesizes image signals to generate a wide dynamic range image, enabling precise feature point matching and pose estimation by superimposing shape information.

Benefits of technology

The device accurately calculates the shape of flicker regions, improving the accuracy of feature point matching and pose estimation by using the shape image of the flicker region, thereby enhancing the precision of image processing systems.

Abstract

To calculate the shape of a flicker region with high accuracy.SOLUTION: An image processing apparatus has: a first state detection part 111 which detects a flicker detection signal of each pixel based upon a first image signal captured for a first exposure time and a second image signal captured for a second exposure time different from the first exposure time; and a first clicker shape calculation part 121 which calculates the shape of a flicker region based upon the flicker detection signal detected by the first state detection part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
