摘要:
A polarization imaging unit 20 acquires a polarized image including polarization pixels with a plurality of polarization directions. An information compression unit 40 sets reference image information based on polarized image information of reference polarization pixels with at least a plurality of polarization directions in the polarized image and generates difference information between the polarized image information of each of polarization pixels different from the reference polarization pixels in the polarized image and the reference image information. In addition, the information compression unit 40 reduces the amount of information of the difference information generated for each of the polarization pixels with the plurality of polarization directions to generate compressed image information including the reference image information and the difference information with the reduced amount of information. An information decoding unit 70 applies a decoding process corresponding to the compression process of the information compression unit 40 to the compressed image information acquired through a recording medium 50 or a transmission path 60 to generate the polarized image and outputs the polarized image to a polarized image using unit 80.

A normal-line information generation block 30 generates normal-line information for a frame subject to detection. A data storage block 50 stores normal-line information and the like of a key frame. A motion amount detection block 40 detects a motion amount of an imaging position of the frame subject to detection relative to an imaging position of the key frame on the basis of the normal-line information of the key frame stored in the data storage block 50 and the normal-line information of the frame subject to detection generated by the normal-line information generation block 30. Even if a positional difference of a same point is small or a luminance difference occurs between a taken image of the key frame and a taken image of a current frame, a motion amount of the imaging position of the frame subject to detection relative to the imaging position of the key frame can be accurately detected on the basis of normal-line information. Therefore, an observation position can be accurately detected.

An imaging unit 20 has a configuration in which an identical polarization pixel block made up of a plurality of pixels with an identical polarization direction is provided for each of a plurality of polarization directions and pixels of respective predetermined colors are provided in the identical polarization pixel block. A correction processing unit 31 performs correction processing such as white balance correction on a polarized image generated by the imaging unit 20. A polarized image processing unit 32 separates or extracts a reflection component using the polarized image after the correction processing. By using a polarized image of the separated or extracted reflection component, for example, it is possible to generate normal line information with high accuracy.

The polarization imaging unit 21 generates a polarized image including pixels for each of a plurality of polarization components. The demosaicing unit 41 calculates a pixel signal for each polarization component by using the pixel signal of the target pixel of the polarized image and the pixel signal of the pixel for each of the identical polarization components located near the target pixel. In one example, a low frequency component is calculated for each polarization component by using the pixel signal of the pixel located near the target pixel for each of the identical polarization components. In addition, component information indicating the relationship between the low frequency component of the polarization component of the polarized image and the pixel signal of the target pixel is acquired. Furthermore, the pixel signal for each polarization component in the target pixel is calculated on the basis of the low frequency component and the component information for each polarization component. The pixel signal for each polarization component is obtained for each pixel of the polarized image, so it is possible to acquire normal information or a non-polarized light image with high resolution.

A polarization image acquisition unit (11) acquires polarization images of three or more polarization directions. A feature quantity computation unit (15) computes image feature quantities on the basis of the acquired polarization images. For example, the luminance of each polarization image is normalized for each pixel, and the normalized luminance of the polarization image is used as the image feature quantity. The luminance of the polarization image changes according to the surface shape of an object. Thus, the image feature quantities computed on the basis of the polarization images are feature quantities corresponding to the surface shape of the object. Image processing, for example, image recognition, feature point detection, feature point matching, or the like, can be performed on the basis of the surface shape of the object using such image feature quantities.

摘要:
A polarized image acquisition section 20 acquires a plurality of polarized images having different polarization directions. The polarized images show, for example, an input indicator for a user interface as a recognition target object. A normal line calculation section 30 calculates normal lines for individual pixels of the recognition target object in accordance with the polarized images acquired by the polarized image acquisition section 20. The normal lines represent information based on the three-dimensional shape of the recognition target object. A recognition section 40 recognizes the object by using the normal lines calculated by the normal line calculation section 30, determines, for example, the type, position, and posture of the input indicator, and outputs the result of determination as input information on the user interface. The object can be recognized easily and with high accuracy.
