  • Patent number: 11636630
    Abstract: A vehicle display control device includes: a locus determination unit determining a predicted locus of a wheel of a subject vehicle according to a steering angle of the subject vehicle; and a display processing unit displaying an image of a field view of the subject vehicle including a vehicle body of the subject vehicle on a display device, and the display processing unit superimposes the guide line indicating the predicted locus determined by the locus determination unit on the image of the field view regardless of the steering angle of the subject vehicle, while semi-transparently displaying a portion of the guide line which overlaps with the vehicle body, thereby allowing visibility of the vehicle body.

  • Patent number: 9961259
    Abstract: An image generation unit uses a plurality of captured image data and vehicle body data of a vehicle to continuously generate a virtual perspective image indicating the vehicle body of the vehicle and the periphery of the vehicle as seen from a virtual perspective (VP) positioned within the cabin of the vehicle. An image control unit alters the angle in a plan view of the line of sight of the VP in a manner such that the line of sight circles the surroundings of the vehicle, and moves the position of the VP in the front-back direction of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20170232898
    Abstract: A surrounding image display apparatus for a vehicle includes: left and right side cameras respectively configured to take left and right obliquely rear images of the vehicle including at least side regions of left and right rear wheels; a display device arranged in a vehicle cabin; and an electronic control device configured to control an image displayed on the display device. When a preset condition is satisfied, the electronic control device displays on the display device at least one of the left and right obliquely rear images, which are taken by the side cameras, respectively, such that a rear side of the vehicle corresponds to an upper side of the image.

  • Patent number: 9646572
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus determines a transparency percentage of each of plural portions of a cabin image of a vehicle, causes the plural portions to be semi-transparent or to be transparent at the determined transparency percentages and displays the cabin image. Thus, the user can intuitively understand a positional relationship between the vehicle and a surrounding region and does not miss an obstacle in a course of traveling of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9479740
    Abstract: An image generating apparatus generates a vicinity image including a vehicle and a vicinity of the vehicle viewed from a virtual viewpoint, based on a captured image, and generates a combined image by superimposing a vehicle image of the vehicle on the vicinity image. Then the image generating apparatus generates the vehicle image in a frame style that shows a body frame of the vehicle by frame lines and changes a style form in the frame style in accordance with a predetermined condition.
