Image generating method
First Claim
1. An image generating method comprising the following steps:
- (1) a step of receiving environment information acquired by one or a plurality of space measurement sensor attached to a moving body;
(2) a step of receiving time when the environment information is received, and parameter of the space measurement sensor itself at the time;
(3) a step of saving history information representing the environment information, the time, and the parameter;
(4) a step of receiving designation for virtual observation point; and
(5) a step of generating virtual environment image seen from the virtual observation point based on the saved history information.

Abstract
This invention provides an image generating method that simplifies moving body operation. This method includes the following steps. (1) a step of receiving environment information (for example, environment images) using one or a plurality of space measurement sensors (for example, a camera) attached to a moving body; (2) a step of receiving time when the environment information is received, and parameter of the space measurement sensor itself (for example, position and attitude of a camera) at the time; (3) a step of saving history information representing the environment information, the time, and the parameters; (4) a step of receiving designation for virtual observation point; and (5) a step of generating virtual environment image seen from the virtual observation point based on the saved history information.

17. An image generating system, comprising a moving body, a control section and an information acquisition section, the moving body being provided with space measurement sensor for acquiring environment information, wherein the control section carries out the following functions:
-
(a) a function of saving history information representing the environmental information, the time when the environmental information was acquired, and parameter of the space measurement sensor it self at the time the environmental information was acquired;
(b) a function of receiving information for designated virtual observation point; and
(c) a function of generating virtual environment image seen from the virtual observation point based on the saved history information. - View Dependent Claims (18, 20)
