Image Processing Apparatus
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
- means that obtains first exposure data at a first shutter speed;
means that obtains second exposure data at a second shutter speed that is slower than the shutter speed;
means that obtains third exposure data at a third shutter speed that is slower than the first shutter speed;
means that converts the first exposure data into a visible grayscale image;
means that outputs the visible grayscale image;
means that converts the second exposure data into a color image;
means that outputs the color image;
means that converts the third exposure data into an infrared grayscale image; and
means that outputs the infrared grayscale image.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus capable of detecting, simultaneously and with high precision, headlights of oncoming cars, taillights of cars ahead, and pedestrians at night, the image processing apparatus comprising: means that obtains first exposure data at a first shutter speed; means that obtains second exposure data at a second shutter speed that is slower than the shutter speed; means that obtains third exposure data at a third shutter speed that is slower than the first shutter speed; means that converts the first exposure data into a visible grayscale image; means that outputs the visible grayscale image; means that converts the second exposure data into a color image; means that outputs the color image; means that converts the third exposure data into an infrared grayscale image; means that outputs the infrared grayscale image; means that detects a headlight based on the visible grayscale image; means that detects a taillight based on the color image; and means that detects a pedestrian based on an image obtained by processing the infrared grayscale image and the color image.
