BIRD'S-EYE IMAGE GENERATING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A bird'"'"'s-eye image generating apparatus comprising:
- a first image receiving portion for receiving a first captured image as a first image taken by a camera at a first position, the camera mounted to a vehicle in order to capture a vehicle periphery;
a second image receiving portion for receiving a second captured image as a second image taken by the camera at a second position where the vehicle is moved from the first position by a moving amount;
a first projective transforming portion for executing a projective transformation to the first image so as to be a first transformed image that is an image seen from above in a vertical direction and for correcting the first transformed image so as to be a first corrected image at the second position;
a second projective transforming portion for executing the projective transformation to the second image so as to be in a second transformed image that is an image seen from above in the vertical direction;
a three-dimensional object range extracting portion for extracting a three-dimensional object range in which a three-dimensional object exists, on the basis of a difference between the first corrected image and the second transformed image, so as to be in a trapezoidal shape in which two unparallel sides are positioned so as to be crossed at an optical center when seen from above in the vertical direction; and
a projective distortion correcting portion for correcting an image corresponding to the three-dimensional object range by compressing toward the optical center so as to be a second corrected image.

Abstract
A bird'"'"'s-eye image generating apparatus includes a first image receiving portion for receiving a first image, a second image receiving portion for receiving a second image at a second position, a first projective transforming portion for executing a projective transformation to the first image so as to be a first transformed image and for correcting the first transformed image so as to be a first corrected image at the second position, a second projective transforming portion for executing the projective transformation to the second image so as to be in a second transformed image, a three-dimensional object range extracting portion for extracting a three-dimensional object range in which a three-dimensional object exists, and a projective distortion correcting portion for correcting the three-dimensional object range by compressing so as to be a second corrected image.
