1. An image transformation method wherein an image transformation apparatus carries out:
- a first step in which a first road shape included in a camera image data generated by a camera that catches surroundings of a car equipped with the camera is recognized based on the camera image data; and
a second step in which a map image data of a vicinity of the car is read from a navigation apparatus, second point of interest coordinates present in a second road shape included in the read map image data and first point of interest coordinates present in the first road shape are respectively detected, and the first point of interest coordinates and the second point of interest coordinates are arranged to correspond to each other.

Abstract
A first road shape in camera image data generated by a camera that captures images of the surroundings of a vehicle is recognized based on the camera image data. In addition, after reading map image data in the vicinity of the vehicle from a navigation unit, second point of interest coordinates existing in a second road shape in the map image data which was read and first point of interest coordinates existing in the first road shape are each detected and the first point of interest coordinates and the second point of interest coordinates are made to correspond to each other.

16. An image transformation apparatus comprising:
-
an image recognition unit for recognizing a first road shape in a camera image data generated by a camera that catches surroundings of a car equipped with the camera based on the camera image data; a point of interest coordinate detection unit for reading a map image data of a vicinity of the car from a navigation apparatus, detecting second point of interest coordinates present in a second road shape included in the read map image data and first point of interest coordinates present in the first road shape, and arranging the first point of interest coordinates and the second point of interest coordinates to correspond to each other; and a coordinate conversion processing unit for calculating a distortion generated between the first point of interest coordinates and the second point of interest coordinates arranged to correspond to each other by the point of interest coordinate detection unit, and converting coordinates of the map image data or the camera image data so that an image of the map image data or the camera image data is transformed based on the calculated distortion. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
