IMAGE GENERATION APPARATUS AND PAVER OPERATION ASSISTANCE SYSTEM

摘要

An image generation apparatus includes a processor that generates an output image based on input images captured by multiple imaging units mounted on a paver including a hopper, a tractor, and a screed. The output image includes a hopper image representing a downward view of the hopper, a left-side surrounding image representing a downward view of a surrounding area on the left side in a movement direction of the paver, a right-side surrounding image representing a downward view of a surrounding area on the right side in the moving direction of the paver, and an illustration image of the tractor. The processor arranges the hopper image, the left-side surrounding image, the right-side surrounding image, and the illustration image such that the output image represents a downward view of the paver.

主权项

1. An image generation apparatus, comprising:
a processor that generates an output image based on input images captured by multiple imaging units mounted on a paver including a hopper, a tractor, and a screed, wherein the output image includes a hopper image representing a downward view of the hopper, a left-side surrounding image representing a downward view of a surrounding area on a left side in a movement direction of the paver, a right-side surrounding image representing a downward view of a surrounding area on a right side in the moving direction of the paver, and an illustration image of the tractor; wherein the processor arranges the hopper image, the left-side surrounding image, the right-side surrounding image, and the illustration image such that the output image represents a downward view of the paver; and wherein each of a combination of the hopper image and the left-side surrounding image and a combination of the hopper image and the right-side surrounding image is a pair of discrete images that include image parts corresponding to a same area in a three-dimensional space.
