Image processing apparatus, image processing method, computer program and computer readable recording medium
First Claim
1. An image processing method comprising:
- receiving images acquired from a plurality of vehicles positioned on a road;
storing the received images according to acquisition information of the received images;
determining a reference image and a target image based on images having the same acquisition information among the stored images;
performing an image registration using a plurality of feature points extracted from each of the determined reference image and target image;
performing a transparency process for each of the reference image and the target image which are image-registered;
extracting static objects from the transparency-processed image; and
comparing the extracted static objects with objects on map data which is previously stored and updating the map data when the objects on the map data which is previously stored and the extracted static objects are different from each other.

Abstract
Provided is an image processing method. The image processing method includes receiving images acquired from a plurality of vehicles positioned on a road; storing the received images according to acquisition information of the received images; determining a reference image and a target image based on images having the same acquisition information among the stored images; performing an image registration using a plurality of feature points extracted from each of the determined reference image and target image; performing a transparency process for each of the reference image and the target image which are image-registered; extracting static objects from the transparency-processed image; and comparing the extracted static objects with objects on map data which is previously stored and updating the map data when the objects on the map data which is previously stored and the extracted static objects are different from each other.

12. An image processing apparatus comprising:
-
a receiving unit receiving images acquired from a plurality of vehicles positioned on a road; a storing unit storing the received images according to acquisition information of the received images; a controlling unit determining a reference image and a target image based on images having the same acquisition information among the stored images; and an image processing unit performing an image registration using a plurality of feature points extracted from each of the determined reference image and target image and performing a transparency process for each of the reference image and the target image which are image-registered, wherein the controlling unit extracts static objects from the transparency-processed image, compares the extracted static objects with objects on map data which is previously stored, and updates the map data when the objects on the map data which is previously stored and the extracted static objects are different from each other. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
