AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing image processing systems fail to effectively detect vehicles approaching from outside the display area, leading to difficulty in recognizing potential dangers during vehicle maneuvers.

Method used

An image processing device with an optical system that forms low and high distortion areas on a light-receiving surface, coupled with an imaging device and image processing unit to generate and display corrected image data, allowing for wider area visualization and detection of vehicles based on predefined conditions.

Benefits of technology

Enhances the ability to visually recognize the situation behind the vehicle, improving safety by providing wider-angle views when necessary, especially during reverse maneuvers or when vehicles approach from outside the normal viewing range.

Abstract

To visually recognize the situation behind a moving apparatus.SOLUTION: An image processing apparatus has: imaging means that has an optical system forming an optical image having a low distortion area and a high distortion area on a light receiving surface, and photographs the rear of a first moving apparatus; image processing means that performs distortion correction on imaging data generated by the imaging means to generate image data; display control means that displays first image data cut out from the low distortion area in the image data; and detection means that detects a second moving apparatus satisfying a predetermined condition from the image data in an area including the high distortion area. When the second moving apparatus is detected by the detection means, the display control means displays second image data of the high distortion area including the second moving apparatus.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
