Abstract:
Provided is an extended view method and apparatus, the method including generating a virtual viewpoint image of a vehicle based on a surrounding view of the vehicle, generating an extended virtual viewpoint image based on the virtual viewpoint image of the vehicle and a received virtual viewpoint image of another vehicle, and displaying the extended virtual viewpoint image to a user.

Claim (Index 21):
A surround viewing system, the system comprising:\n a virtual viewpoint image generator configured to generate a first virtual viewpoint image of a first vehicle based on at least one captured surrounding view image of the first vehicle; a receiver configured to receive, from a second vehicle, a second virtual viewpoint image of the second vehicle for a surrounding view image of the second vehicle; an extended virtual viewpoint image generator configured to\n determine an overlapping area in each of the first virtual viewpoint image and the second virtual viewpoint image that appears in both the first virtual viewpoint image and the second virtual viewpoint image, \n select, based on either one or both of an image resolution or a quality of communication, one of the first virtual viewpoint image or the second virtual viewpoint image to use to generate the overlapping area of an extended viewpoint image, and exclude the non-selected first virtual viewpoint image or second virtual viewpoint image from being used to generate the overlapping area in the extended virtual viewpoint image, and \n generate the extended virtual viewpoint image including the overlapping area by combining image information from the generated first virtual viewpoint image and the received second virtual viewpoint image; and \n a display configured to display the generated extended virtual viewpoint image.
