  • Patent number: 11762074
    Abstract: A position calibration method including, moving body information including first global estimated position information indicating global position information recognized as a geographic position of the moving body, the method including: extracting local estimated position information indicating a position of the moving body within the detection target region from information acquired by the sensor unit; calculating second global estimated position information estimated as the geographic position of the moving body based on the local estimated position information; and performing calibration of third global estimated position information held as a geographic position of the sensor unit when a determination value obtained from the difference between the first global estimated position information and the second global estimated position information exceeds a preset threshold value and based on a result of calibration processing in which a difference between the first global estimated position information and the

  • Publication number: 20220324387
    Abstract: A display control system includes an infrastructure sensor information acquisition unit, a blind spot information generation unit, and a display control unit. The infrastructure sensor information acquisition unit acquires infrastructure sensor information, which is obtained when an infrastructure sensor provided around a road detects information around the vehicle on the road. The blind spot information generation unit generates, based on the infrastructure sensor information, blind spot information on a blind spot area that becomes a blind spot due to an obstacle when viewed from the vehicle. The display control unit control a display device such that the blind spot information is displayed on the vehicle.
