Abstract: The present technology relates to an image generating device, an image generating method, and a program which are capable of calling attention of a user quickly. An integrating unit integrates a first image and a second image and generates an integrated image. A superimposition executing unit causes an alert mark to be superimposed on the integrated image and generates a superimposed image in a case in which an object shown in the second image is positioned on a farther side than an object shown in the first image. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a Camera Monitor System (CMS) which provides, for example, an image corresponding to an image observed by a side mirror or a rearview mirror or the like.

Abstract: An in-vehicle information processing device according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a control unit. The control unit detects presence or absence of an abnormality of a first monitor that displays a first image captured by a first camera among a plurality of cameras that capture an image of a predetermined region including a rear side of a vehicle, and switches, when detecting the abnormality of the first monitor, from a first mode in which the first image is displayed on the first monitor to a second mode in which the first image is displayed on a second monitor different from the first monitor.

Abstract: A notification controlling unit controls notification for prompting a driver to return to driving. For example, the notification is performed by a sound output, a light output, display of a character or a mark, haptics, or the like. A calculation unit calculates a return delay time period for determining a notification timing on the basis of a state of the driver. For example, the calculation unit calculates a return delay time period in response to an observable evaluation value based on a type of secondary task being executed by the driver and biological activity observable information of the driver. A return delay time period for determining a notification timing is calculated in response to a type of secondary task and biological activity observable information of the driver, so that a more accurate return delay time period can be obtained and notification of driving return to the driver can be performed at an appropriate timing.

Abstract: A configuration for calculating a distance and a position of an object included in an image in a direction in which distance measurement by a distance sensor is impossible is achieved.

Moreover, an object position calculation unit calculates an object position using calculation information of the object distance calculation unit and the image information. An object actual size is obtained on the basis of an imaged image in a direction in which distance measurement by the distance sensor is possible.

Abstract: In accordance with driving information that is obtained by a driving situation detecting sensor 13 and is related to the driving situation of a vehicle, a display control unit 20 sets the image area to be presented to the driver DR of the vehicle from an image obtained by a peripheral area imaging unit 11 imaging a peripheral area around the vehicle, and, in accordance with the driving situation, controls the visual recognition range in the peripheral area the driver DR can visually recognize from the image presented by a display unit 50 via a mirror 55. When the driving situation is such that the orientation of a cabin differs from the orientation of a trailer portion, for example, the image area to be presented is set so that the outer side of the trailer portion is included in the visual recognition range even though the orientation of the cabin differs from the orientation of the trailer portion. Thus, a desired peripheral area around the vehicle can be readily viewed.
