IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD
First Claim
1. An image processing apparatus for processing an image, the image processing apparatus comprising:
- a generating unit that generates a synthetic image providing a view of a vehicle from a virtual viewpoint, based on a plurality of onboard camera images;
a display control unit that displays the generated synthetic image on a display unit; and
a change receiving unit that receives a change in a relative positional relation between an image region that is based on one of the camera images and image regions that are based on the other camera images in the synthetic image, whereinthe generating unit generates the synthetic image, based on a changed positional relation every time a change in the positional relation is received.

Abstract
An image processing apparatus for processing an image according to one embodiment includes a generating unit, a display control unit, and a change receiving unit. The display control unit generates a synthetic image providing a view of a vehicle from a virtual viewpoint, based on a plurality of onboard camera images. The display control unit displays the generated synthetic image on a display unit. The change receiving unit receives a change in the relative positional relation between an image region that is based on one of the camera images and image regions that are based on the other camera images in the synthetic image. The generating unit generates a synthetic image, based on a changed positional relation every time a change in the positional relation is received.

7. An image processing apparatus for processing an image, the image processing apparatus comprising:
-
a generating unit that generates a synthetic image providing a view of a vehicle from a virtual viewpoint, based on a single onboard camera image; a display control unit that displays the generated synthetic image on a display unit; and a change receiving unit that receives a change in a relative positional relation between a frame-shaped indicator displayed at a predetermined position in the synthetic image and a marker represented in the synthetic image, wherein the generating unit generates the synthetic image, based on a changed positional relation every time a change in the positional relation is received.
