Image processing apparatus
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus that generates a display image to be displayed on a display screen of a display apparatus provided in a cabin of a vehicle, the display screen of the display apparatus including a one-way mirror, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- an image signal input that obtains a captured image signal representing a captured image captured by a camera that captures an image of surroundings of the vehicle;
an image generator that generates the display image from the captured image signal;
an image output that outputs the display image to the display apparatus to cause the display image to be displayed on the display screen of the display apparatus; and
a processor that controls the image generator to cause a partial region of the display image to be a black image so that a portion of the display screen at which the black image is displayed functions as a mirror, wherein;
the processor accepts a region specified by a user on the display screen of the display apparatus as a specified region of the display image, andthe processor controls the image generator to cause the specified region of the display image to be the black image.

Abstract
A display screen of a display apparatus of an image display system includes a one-way mirror on a front side of the display screen. In an image processing apparatus, an image signal input obtains a captured image signal representing a captured image captured by a camera that captures an image of surroundings of the vehicle; an image generator that generates the display image from the captured image signal; an image output that outputs the display image to the display apparatus to cause the display image to be displayed on the display screen of the display apparatus; and a processor that controls the image generator to cause a partial region of the display image to be a black image so that a portion of the display screen at which the black image is displayed functions as a mirror.

3. An image processing apparatus that generates a display image to be displayed on a display screen of a display apparatus provided in a cabin of a vehicle, the display screen of the display apparatus including a one-way mirror, the image processing apparatus comprising:
-
an image signal input that obtains a captured image signal representing a captured image captured by a camera that captures an image of surroundings of the vehicle; an image generator that generates the display image from the captured image signal; an image output that outputs the display image to the display apparatus to cause the display image to be displayed on the display screen of the display apparatus; a processor that controls the image generator to cause a partial region of the display image to be a black image so that a portion of the display screen at which the black image is displayed functions as a mirror; and a detector that detects a sound that occurs in the cabin of the vehicle; wherein the processor determines an occurrence position of the sound in the cabin of the vehicle detected by the detector, and in a case where the detector detected the sound in the cabin of the vehicle, the processor controls the image generator to cause a region of the display image corresponding to the occurrence position of the sound in the cabin of the vehicle to be the black image so that the position of the sound in the cabin of the vehicle can be viewed in the portion of the display screen that functions as the mirror.

4. An image processing method of generating a display image to be displayed on a display screen of a display apparatus provided in a cabin of a vehicle, the display screen of the display apparatus including a one-way mirror, the image processing method comprising the steps of:
-
(a) obtaining a captured image signal representing a captured image captured by a camera that captures an image of surroundings of the vehicle; (b) generating, with an image generator, the display image from the captured image signal; and (c) outputting the display image to the display apparatus to cause the display image to be displayed on the display screen of the display apparatus, wherein the step (b) includes a processor controlling the image generator to cause a partial region of the display image to be a black image so that a portion of the display screen at which the black image is displayed functions as a mirror, wherein; the step (b) includes the processor accepting a region specified by a user on the display screen of the display apparatus as a specified region of the display image, the step (b) includes the processor controlling the image generator to cause the specified region of the display image to be the black image. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)
