    摘要: A first image captured by a first camera can be aligned with at least a segment of a second image captured with a second camera, where the images have an overlapping field of view. Image characteristic values indicative of image characteristics at positions within the overlapping field of view of the first and second images are respectively determined. A difference in position between corresponding image characteristic values in the overlapping field of view in the first image and the overlapping field of view in the second image is determined. A transform is applied to the first image, adjusting an orientation of the first image relative to the second image. The first and second image can be aligned when the difference in position between corresponding image characteristic values in the first and second image is a predetermined amount.

    摘要: An image processing system includes a camera, an image processor and a calibration surface. The calibration surface includes thereon a calibration pattern, the calibration pattern comprising a plurality of alternately coloured elements which provide a corresponding plurality of corners at locations on the calibration pattern at which more than two of the coloured elements adjoin. The corner locations define a first group of lines and a second group of lines, the lines in each of the group of lines are parallel with respect to each other and with respect to the calibration surface. The first group of lines is orthogonal to the second group of lines and the camera is operable to generate and communicate to the image processor a video signal representative of a scene as viewed by the camera, the scene including the calibration surface. The image processor is operable to detect from the video signal at least some of the corner locations and thereby identify the first and second group of lines of the calibration pattern, to extrapolate the lines from each group of lines to determine a presence and a location of a first intersection point on a plane of the scene as viewed by the camera at which the extrapolated lines from the first group intersect and a second intersection point on the plane of scene as viewed by the camera at which the extrapolated lines from the second group intersect, and to estimate from the presence and the location of the first and second intersection points one or more of an estimated roll angle value, an estimated pitch angle value and an estimated yaw angle value corresponding to a roll angle, pitch angle and yaw angle of the camera relative to the calibration surface. The detection of the corner locations by the image processor comprises identifying from the video signal a plurality of potential corner locations, defining an area of the scene as viewed by the camera centred around each potential corner location, analysing a colour of points lying on a periphery of each area, thereby estimating a likelihood that a corner is located at each potential corner location.

    摘要: A method of displaying an image from a image store to a display device at a predetermined output frame period is described in which the image is represented by a plurality of pixels and each pixel has a colour represented by pixel values which define a position within colour space. In the display method, a plurality of regions are defined within colour space, and then each pixel value used within the image is allocated to one of the defined regions within colour space in accordance with the position in colour space of the pixel value. Then, one or more areas of the image are selected, and for each of the selected one or more areas, one of the defined regions within colour space is selected. For each selected area of the image, pixels which have a pixel value which has been allocated to the selected region within colour space are identified and add to the image store. Different areas of the image and regions of colour space are selected in succession in accordance with a predetermined sequence in time until each combination of image area and region of colour space has been selected and all pixels of the image thereby added to the image store for display. The predetermined sequence in time has a duration which is longer than the predetermined output frame period. In this way, by progressively building up an image in units of area and colour, it is possible to achieve a visual effect of the image being “painted in” by hand.

    摘要翻译: 描述了以预定输出帧周期将图像从图像存储器显示到显示装置的方法,其中图像由多个像素表示,并且每个像素具有由限定颜色空间内的位置的像素值表示的颜色 。 在显示方法中,在颜色空间内定义多个区域,然后根据像素值的颜色空间中的位置将图像中使用的每个像素值分配给颜色空间内的一个限定区域。 然后,选择图像的一个或多个区域,并且对于所选择的一个或多个区域中的每一个,选择颜色空间内的限定区域之一。 对于图像的每个选定区域,识别已经分配给颜色空间内的所选区域的像素值的像素并将其添加到图像存储器。 根据预定的时间顺序连续地选择图像的不同区域和颜色空间的区域,直到选择了图像区域和颜色空间区域的每个组合,并且由此将图像的所有像素添加到图像存储以进行显示 。 预定的时间顺序具有比预定输出帧周期长的持续时间。 以这种方式,通过以区域和颜色为单位逐渐构建图像,可以实现手绘“图像”的图像的视觉效果。
