Vehicle device, calibration result determination method, and non-transitory storage medium
First Claim
1. A vehicle device, comprising:
- a video acquisition unit configured to acquire videos captured by cameras configured to capture surroundings of a vehicle;
a light emission controller configured to control light emission of a light beam pattern which is emitted by light emitting devices and with which the ground or a floor surface is irradiated at predetermined positions with respect to the vehicle;
an image processing unit configured to generate, using the videos acquired by the video acquisition unit, a bird'"'"'s-eye view video including the light beam pattern the light emission of which is controlled by the light emission controller;
a superimposing image generation unit configured to generate a superimposing image at a position corresponding to the light beam pattern included in the bird'"'"'s-eye view video generated by the image processing unit; and
an image determination processing unit configured to detect, in the bird'"'"'s-eye view video on which the superimposing image generated by the superimposing image generation unit is superimposed, an overlapping portion of the superimposing image and an image of the light beam pattern to determine whether camera parameters for generating the bird'"'"'s-eye view video are accurately calibrated.

6. A calibration result determination method that determines a calibration result of camera parameters for generating a bird'"'"'s-eye view video of a vehicle, the calibration result determination method comprising:
-
controlling light emission of a light beam pattern which is emitted by light emitting devices and with which the ground or a floor surface is irradiated at predetermined positions with respect to the vehicle; generating, using videos captured by cameras configured to capture surroundings of the vehicle, a bird'"'"'s-eye view video including the light beam pattern the light emission of which is controlled at the controlling; generating a superimposing image at a position corresponding to the light beam pattern included in the bird'"'"'s-eye view video generated at the generating of the bird'"'"'s-eye view video; and detecting, in the bird'"'"'s-eye view video on which the superimposing image generated at the generating of the superimposing image is superimposed, an overlapping portion of the superimposing image and an image of the light beam pattern to determine whether the camera parameters for generating the bird'"'"'s-eye view video are accurately calibrated.

7. A non-transitory storage medium that stores a computer program that causes a computer mounted on a vehicle to perform processing comprising:
-
controlling light emission of a light beam pattern which is emitted by light emitting devices and with which the ground or a floor surface is irradiated at predetermined positions with respect to the vehicle; generating, using videos captured by cameras configured to capture surroundings of the vehicle, a bird'"'"'s-eye view video including the light beam pattern the light emission of which is controlled at the controlling; generating a superimposing image at a position corresponding to the light beam pattern included in the bird'"'"'s-eye view video generated at the generating of the bird'"'"'s-eye view video; and detecting, in the bird'"'"'s-eye view video on which the superimposing image generated at the generating of the superimposing image is superimposed, an overlapping portion of the superimposing image and an image of the light beam pattern to determine whether the camera parameters for generating the bird'"'"'s-eye view video are accurately calibrated.
