  • Patent number: 10873720
    Abstract: A bird's-eye view video generation device includes a video data acquiring unit configured to acquire video data of surroundings video of a vehicle captured by cameras; a bird's-eye view video generator configured to generate a bird's-eye view video displaying a predetermined display area around the vehicle by performing viewpoint conversion and synthesizing processings on the video data of the surroundings videos with a vehicle icon; a reference object detector configured to detect a reference object around the vehicle; an orientation specifying unit configured to specify a relative orientation of the reference object with respect to the vehicle; a superimposing processor configured to generate a superimposed bird's-eye view video by superimposing information representing the relative orientation on the bird's-eye view video based on the vehicle icon or the information representing the relative orientation; and a display controller configured to cause a display panel to display the superimposed bird's-eye vie

  • Patent number: 10723266
    Abstract: An on-vehicle display control device includes a video data acquiring unit that acquires video data from multiple bird's-eye view video cameras for videos of a front, a rear, a left side, and a right side of a vehicle, and video data from rear side cameras for videos of rear left-side and rear right-side views of the vehicle; a bird's-eye view video generating unit that generates a bird's-eye view video by performing a viewpoint conversion and synthesizing processes on the videos of the bird's-eye view video cameras; a confirmation request detecting unit that detects a left-right situation confirmation request; and a display controller that displays, when the confirmation request is detected, on a display in a direction of the confirmation request, the video from the rear side camera in the confirmation request direction and the video in a direction corresponding to the confirmation request direction in the bird's-eye view video.

  • Patent number: 10710505
    Abstract: A bird's-eye view video generation device includes a video data acquiring unit that acquires videos from multiple cameras capturing videos of front, rear, a left side, and a right side of a vehicle, an obstacle information acquiring unit that acquires information from an obstacle sensor detecting at least one obstacle around the vehicle, a bird's-eye view video generating unit that generates a bird's-eye view video by synthesizing videos converted by a viewpoint conversion process on the acquired videos and generate, when the obstacle information acquiring unit detects the obstacle, the bird's-eye view video where a display region in a direction of the detected obstacle is extended by reducing a display area of the video in a direction orthogonal to the direction of the detected obstacle toward a direction opposite to the direction of the detected obstacle, and a display controller that displays the generated bird's-eye view video on a display.

  • Patent number: 10587801
    Abstract: An bird's-eye view video generation device includes a video capturing unit configured to capture a surrounding video of a vehicle, an obstacle information obtaining unit configured to obtain obstacle information including a distance to the obstacle, a video generating unit configured to generate an bird's-eye view video by performing viewpoint conversion with respect to the surrounding video so that, when the distance to the detected obstacle is equal to or longer than a threshold value, generate the bird's-eye view video in which a vehicle icon is displayed at the center thereof enclosed by the bird's-eye view video and the obstacle information is superimposed thereon, and when the distance is shorter than the threshold value, generate the bird's-eye view video in which the obstacle information is superimposed on the center thereof enclosed by the bird's-eye view video, and a display controller configured to display the bird's-eye view video in a display.
