IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

The present invention provides an image processing system and method, the image processing system uses at least two cameras, and the location of the cameras can be changed due to the easiness of installation onto a vehicle and number of the cameras around the vehicle. The present invention uses the image analysis method to evaluate the depth of objects around the vehicle, and then generate a 3D model with depth information to reduce the distortion of the image. After that, the image will be displayed on the wide-area electronic rearview mirror to provide the driver a rearview image more correctly.

主权项

1. An image processing system, comprising:
a depth value estimation module, which uses an image behind a vehicle and an image on a rear side of the vehicle to evaluate a depth value around the vehicle, and further transfers the information of the depth value to a three-dimensional (3D) geometric model generating module to avoid the images synthesized by a image processing module having the ghosting and high distortion; a three-dimensional geometric model generating module, which uses the information of the depth value to generate a 3D geometric model having the information of the depth value of objects around the vehicle; an image processing module, which synthesizes the 3D geometric model having the information of the depth value of objects around the vehicle with the image behind the vehicle and the image on the rear side of the vehicle; a virtual camera, connected to the image processing module, which decides a display mode of the image synthesized by the image processing module; a display module, which displays an image synthesized by the image processing module and the display mode decided by the virtual camera; and a vision angle detecting module, connected to the display module, which gets a sight direction of a driver from detecting an angle between an electronic rearview mirror and eyes position of the driver, and further changes a display content displayed by the display module according to the sight direction.
