Description

請求項に記載の発明は、車両に搭載される撮影装置であって、前記車両の前方を撮影する撮影手段と、前記撮影手段により撮影された画像の一部の範囲を切り出し画像として切り出す画像制御手段と、前記撮影手段の撮影方向の変化可能性の有無を判定する判定手段と、を備え、前記画像制御手段は、前記判定手段が前記変化可能性有りと判定後の前記切り出し画像中の第１対象物の位置が、前記判定手段が前記変化可能性有りと判定前の前記切り出し画像中の前記第１対象物の位置と略一致するように、切り出す範囲を調整することを特徴とする。
The invention described in the claims is an imaging device mounted on a vehicle, and includes an imaging unit that images the front of the vehicle, and an image control that extracts a partial range of an image captured by the imaging unit as a cutout image. means and includes a judging means for judging whether the change available-of capturing direction of the imaging means, the image control unit, the clipped image after determining the determining means that there is pre-Symbol changeability The cutout range is adjusted so that the position of the first target object is substantially the same as the position of the first target object in the cutout image before the determination by the determination means that the change is possible. And

また、請求項に記載の発明は、車両に搭載されて当該車両の前方を撮影する撮影手段を有する撮影装置が実行する制御方法であって、前記撮影手段により撮影された画像の一部の範囲を切り出し画像として切り出す画像制御工程と、前記撮影手段の撮影方向の変化可能性の有無を判定する判定工程と、を有し、前記画像制御工程は、前記判定工程により前記変化可能性有りと判定後の前記切り出し画像中の第１対象物の位置が、前記判定工程により前記変化可能性有りと判定前の前記切り出し画像中の前記第１対象物の位置と略一致するように、切り出す範囲を調整することを特徴とする。
The invention described in the claims is a control method executed by a photographing apparatus having a photographing unit that is mounted on a vehicle and photographs the front of the vehicle, and includes a partial range of an image photographed by the photographing unit. an image control step of cutting a cut-out image, anda determination step of determining whether the change available-of capturing direction of the imaging means, the image control process, the pre-determination Symbol change possibility with the step The position of the first object in the cutout image after being determined to be present substantially matches the position of the first object in the cutout image before the determination that there is the possibility of change by the determination step . The cutout range is adjusted .

また、請求項に記載の発明は、車両に搭載されて当該車両の前方を撮影する撮影手段と電気的に接続するコンピュータが実行するプログラムであって、前記撮影手段により撮影された画像の一部の範囲を切り出し画像として切り出す画像制御手段と、前記撮影手段の撮影方向の変化可能性の有無を判定する判定手段として前記コンピュータを機能させ、前記画像制御手段は、前記判定手段が前記変化可能性有りと判定後の前記切り出し画像中の第１対象物の位置が、前記判定手段が前記変化可能性有りと判定前の前記切り出し画像中の前記第１対象物の位置と略一致するように、切り出す範囲を調整することを特徴とする。 The invention described in the claims is a program executed by a computer that is mounted on a vehicle and electrically connected to a photographing unit that photographs the front of the vehicle, and is a part of an image photographed by the photographing unit an image control means for cutting the range of cut-out as an image, makes the computer function as judging means for judging whether the change available-of capturing direction of the imaging means, the image control means, the determination means before Symbol The position of the first object in the cut-out image after determining that there is a possibility of change substantially coincides with the position of the first object in the cut-out image before the determination that the determination means is possible. Thus, the range to be cut out is adjusted .

Claims
