Abstract: A display control device for controlling a display device displaying a driver support image to have an overlap with a view from a driver seat in a vehicle or a live-action video in front of the vehicle, the display control device includes: a video signal generation unit generating a video signal for displaying a driver support image to have an overlap with the travelable traffic lane, and a video signal output unit. The driver support image having the overlap with the travelable traffic lane has a width in a width direction of the traffic lane and extends in a direction in which the traffic lane extends. The driver support image having the overlap with the region other than the travelable traffic lane is an image in which the travelable traffic lane can be distinguished according to a width and a length.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a driving assistance apparatus. The driving assistance apparatus according to the present invention includes: a subject vehicle information acquisition unit to acquire subject vehicle information; a non-subject vehicle information acquisition unit to acquire non-subject vehicle information; an object generation unit to generate, based on the subject vehicle information and the non-subject vehicle information, a travel location object indicating at least one of a location where the subject vehicle is currently to travel and a location where the subject vehicle is currently not to travel when the subject vehicle merges or changes lanes from a lane in which the subject vehicle travels to a lane in which the non-subject vehicle travels; and a display controller to perform control to display, in accordance with travel of the subject vehicle, the travel location object superimposed on scenery around the subject vehicle.

Abstract: Provided is a technique for preventing excessive determination that control in a display control apparatus is abnormal. A control test apparatus includes an acquisition unit and a controller. The controller determines, whenever necessary, on the basis of a second image that is output from the display control apparatus and first test data that is acquired in the acquisition unit, whether the control in the display control apparatus over the display apparatus is abnormal. The controller stops the determination until a predetermined time elapses from a first time point, the predetermined time being equal to or greater than a time from the first time point at which the first test data is input to the controller to a second time point at which the second image is input to the controller.

Abstract: A map display control device includes a display processor to cause a display to display a map, an operation information acquiring unit to acquire information on an operation performed by a user, a scroll processor to scroll the map displayed on the display, and a priority object setting unit to determine a priority object having higher priority than other objects contained in the map. The scroll processor scrolls the map in step with an operation performed by the user to scroll the map, and automatically scrolls the map toward the priority object when determining that the operation has been ended.

Abstract: In a map display apparatus, a display processor causes a display to display a map based on map information. A priority object setting unit determines a priority object having higher priority than other objects contained in the map. A scroll processor scrolls the map displayed on the display in step with a scroll operation performed by a user. In a case where the priority object is located outside the map displayed on the display, the operating feel controller adds directivity to an operating feel imparted to the scroll operation in such a manner that a scroll operation for scrolling the map toward the priority object and a scroll operation for scrolling the map in any other direction arouse different operating feels.

Abstract: A first memory is a main memory that stores a texture image group. A second memory is a VRAM that stores a first texture atlas in which one or more texture images copied from the texture image group are arranged, and a second texture atlas to be newly generated. A texture copy section copies at least one of the texture images arranged in the first texture atlas from the first texture atlas to the second texture atlas.

Abstract: An information display controller is capable of switching a plurality of screens and allowing a display to display the plurality of screens thereon, and includes a screen constructor, a texture atlas storage unit and a texture atlas creator. The texture atlas creator creates a texture atlas, in which elemental images as constituents of the plurality of screens are arranged, in accordance with an algorithm that takes sizes of the elemental images as references. The texture atlas storage unit stores the texture atlas created by the texture atlas creator. The screen constructor constructs the plurality of screens by using the elemental images extracted from the texture atlas stored in the texture atlas storage unit. In an event of creating the texture atlas, the texture atlas creator preferentially incorporates, into the texture atlas, an elemental image for composing the screen including more elemental images already arranged in the texture atlas.

Abstract: Provided are a texture atlas generation unit (10) that generates a texture atlas (41) by combining a plurality of textures, and generates position information (32), in the texture atlas (41), of a texture to be rendered; a polygon information storage unit (330) that stores polygon information (33) in which are set vertex coordinates of the polygon in an output image (42) and vertex texture coordinates corresponding to the vertex coordinates in an image to be rendered on the polygon on the basis of the texture to be rendered; a pixel coordinate calculation unit (22) that detects locations of pixels to be filled in with the polygon in the output image (42), and calculates pixel-corresponding texture coordinates corresponding to locations of pixels in a rendered image; and a coordinate conversion unit (23) that converts the pixel-corresponding texture coordinates to coordinates within an area of the texture to be rendered on the texture atlas (41).

Abstract: A map display device includes a map display unit that causes a touch panel to display a map, and a scrolling-screen display unit that causes the touch panel to display a scrolling screen that includes a direction designation region for a user to designate a direction to scroll the map. The center of the direction designation region corresponds to a reference point defined on the map being displayed on the touch panel. The scrolling-screen display unit causes a significant-object icon that indicates the existence or absence of a predetermined significant object in each direction viewed from the reference point to be displayed on the outer periphery of the direction designation region at a position corresponding to the direction.
