Patent number: 11685312Abstract: A display control device mounted on a vehicle having a parking support function controls a display to display a rear image captured by a rear camera. The display control device acquires the rear image captured by the rear camera; and superimposes, in response to the parking support function being activated, a target image item indicating a target parking position at a predetermined position of the rear image which corresponds to the target parking position. The display control device superimposes at least a part of the target image item in translucent manner on the rear image, and superimpose, on the rear image, an emphasized image item that emphasizes at least four corners of the target image item.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2021Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignees: DENSO CORPORATION, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masahiro Iino, Michihiro Takada, Mayuko Maeda, Yasutaka Matsunaga, Toshihiro Takagi, Takuya Nakagawa, Yuki Minase

Patent number: 11643070Abstract: The parking assist apparatus comprises an ECU. When the ECU recognizes a perpendicular-parallel parking possible space to which a vehicle can not only be perpendicularly parked from a parking start position but also be parallelly parked from the parking start position, the ECU is configured to display any one of a first perpendicular-parallel parking space selection button and a second perpendicular-parallel parking space selection button in such a manner that one of the buttons is superimposed on the perpendicular-parallel parking possible space.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2020Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignees: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Chenyang Wang, Yasutaka Matsunaga, Toshihiro Takagi, Satoshi Kozai, Masahiro Iino, Michihiro Takada, Mayuko Maeda

Patent number: 11613273Abstract: A parking assist apparatus includes an ECU. The ECU displays a first left support image on a predetermined display area of a touch panel display section so that an entire area of a tentative target parking space is displayed within the predetermined display area, based on a relative position of the tentative target parking space with respect to a vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2020Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignees: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Yasutaka Matsunaga, Toshihiro Takagi, Satoshi Kozai, Masahiro Iino, Michihiro Takada, Yuusuke Nomura, Ryou Izumi, Mayuko Maeda

Patent number: 11153484Abstract: An image processing device used on a mobile body has: a determiner configured to determine one out of a plurality of combination patterns as to the presence or absence of an object in a plurality of predetermined regions around the mobile body; and a generator configured to generate a composite image by projecting onto a virtual projection surface a plurality of shot images acquired by a plurality of cameras taking images of the surroundings of the mobile body. The generator is configured to select, out of a plurality of projection surfaces prepared beforehand, the projection surface used in generating the composite image in accordance with the combination pattern determined by the determiner.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2020Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignees: DENSO TEN Limited, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masahiro Iino, Michihiro Takada, Mayuko Maeda, Toshihiro Takagi, Yasutaka Matsunaga
