Patent number: 10112539Abstract: An image display control apparatus including an image generation portion generating an output image which resembles a map of a room mirror using at least a vehicle outside image based on at least one of a detection result of an eye point position acquisition portion detecting a position of an eye point of a driver and a detection result of an angle acquisition portion detecting an angle of a display device, and a display control portion controlling the display device so that the display device displays the output image generated by the image generation portion. The output image which is similar to the map of the room mirror may be displayed at the display device.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2014Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: AISIN SEIKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Tamotsu Kameshima, Yoshikuni Hashimoto, Takayuki Higo, Naoki Kajigai

Patent number: 8600112Abstract: A crosswalk detection device executes a predetermined arithmetic processing on a calculated value calculated based on data obtained through a scanning operation using a main pattern. Next, the device determines whether or not a crosswalk is in a predetermined image based on a relationship between a calculated result of the arithmetic processing and a position of the main pattern MP on the predetermined image. The above-explained calculated value is, for example, an average of the brightness of pixels overlapping each sub pattern of the main pattern. Hence, even if a white pattern of the crosswalk is cracked or the white pattern has a separated part, the value of data is hardly affected. Accordingly, it is possible to precisely determine whether or not the crosswalk is in the predetermined image.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2011Date of Patent: December 3, 2013Assignee: Aisin Seiki Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshikuni Hashimoto, Jun Adachi, Masahiro Mizuno
