  • Patent number: 10549693
    Abstract: A bird's-eye view video generation device includes a video acquisition unit configured to acquire surroundings videos obtained by capturing videos of surroundings of a vehicle; a vehicle information acquisition unit configured to acquire vehicle information to estimate move of the vehicle in a turning direction; and a controller configured to, when move of the vehicle in the turning direction is estimated based on the vehicle information that is acquired by the vehicle information acquisition unit, generate a bird's-eye view video obtained by changing a position to display the bird's-eye view video containing a virtual vehicle image such that a surroundings video in a direction that has to be checked in the estimated turning direction is displayed widely. The generated bird's-eye view video is desolated by a display controller on a display panel.

  • Patent number: 10097740
    Abstract: A front imaging portion captures the front side of a vehicle. A rear imaging portion captures the interior or the rear side of the vehicle. A casing houses the front imaging portion and the rear imaging portion. A heat sink is located between the front imaging portion and the rear imaging portion in the casing to radiate heat inside the casing. A fixing portion is located on the outer surface of the casing and between a first end and a second end of the heat sink and separated from the heat sink to fix the casing to the vehicle. An intake is located adjacent to the fixing portion at the first end to be open toward the heat sink. An outlet is located adjacent to the fixing portion at the second end to be open toward the heat sink while facing the intake with the fixing portion interposed therebetween.
