Image correction method for drive recorder, drive recorder, and drive recorder system
A drive recorder has: a camera; an image recording section that records an image captured by the camera; a sensor that is installed with its relative posture with respect to the camera being fixed, detects an acceleration, and outputs an acceleration signal; and an image correcting section that corrects a top-and-bottom direction or an inclination of an image that is recorded in the image recording section.
1 . A recorded image correction method for a drive recorder, comprising:
generating an acceleration signal from a sensor that detects an acceleration; and
correcting a top-and-bottom direction or an inclination of a captured image that is output from a camera and recorded in a drive recorder based on the acceleration signal.
2 . A drive recorder comprising:
a camera;
an image recording section that records an image captured by the camera;
a sensor that is installed with its relative posture with respect to the camera being fixed, detects an acceleration, and outputs an acceleration signal; and
an image correcting section that corrects a top-and-bottom direction or an inclination of an image that is recorded in the image recording section based on the acceleration signal.
3 . The drive recorder according to claim 2 , further comprising an image display section that displays the image output from the camera or the image recorded in the image recording section.
4 . A drive recorder system comprising:
a camera;
an image recording section that is different from the camera, receives an image captured by the camera with or without a wire, and records the image;
a sensor that is installed with its relative posture with respect to the camera being fixed, detects an acceleration, and outputs an acceleration signal; and
an image correcting section that corrects a top-and-bottom direction or an inclination of an image that is recorded in the image recording section based on the acceleration signal.
5 . The drive recorder system according to claim 4 , further comprising an image display section that displays the image output from the camera or the image recorded in the image recording section.
