Abstract: In an image generation apparatus, an image acquisition unit is configured to acquire, from at least one camera operable to capture an image of surroundings of a vehicle, a captured image. A bird's-eye view image generation unit is configured to generate a bird's-eye view image from the captured image. A three-dimensional object recognition unit is configured to recognize a three-dimensional object in the captured image. A superimposition-image acquisition unit is configured to acquire a superimposition image that represents the three-dimensional object recognized by the three-dimensional object recognition unit, by performing a process depending on a type of the three-dimensional object recognized by the three-dimensional object recognition unit. A superimposition unit is configured to superimpose, onto the bird's-eye view image, the superimposition image acquired by the superimposition-image acquisition unit, at a position where the three-dimensional object is present in the bird's-eye view image.

Abstract: In a vehicle driving assistance apparatus, an approach recognizer is configured to recognize whether a vehicle has approached an intersecting road that is a road intersecting a road of travel on which the vehicle is traveling. A road surface recognizer is configured to recognize a road surface in an image of surroundings of the vehicle captured by a camera mounted to the vehicle. An image switcher is configured to, in response to the approach recognizer recognizing that the vehicle has approached the intersecting road, determine whether the road surface recognizer has recognized a road surface of the intersecting road, and in response to the road surface recognizer recognizing the road surface of the intersecting road, switch a display image on a display device mounted to the vehicle, for displaying driving guidance for the vehicle, to an image of the intersecting road captured by the camera.

Abstract: An ECU captures an image of an imaging region around an own vehicle, and acquires image data, the imaging region being configured by a plurality of imaging areas. The ECU determines whether the object is present in the imaging areas, on the basis of detection results of an object present around the own vehicle. The ECU selects a target area to be displayed in an easy-to-see state from among the plurality of imaging areas, on the basis of determination results. The ECU reduces and corrects the image data of each imaging area such that an image of the target area is displayed in the easy-to-see state compared to an image of each imaging area to generate display image data.

Abstract: A signal-to-noise ratio and measurement precision is increased in electrode units disposed on the left and right sides of a steering wheel. A plurality of electrode units is disposed in the left and right handholds of a steering wheel. The contact impedances of all the electrode units are measured. A pair of left and right electrode units to be used to measure an electrocardiographic signal is designated from among the electrode units whose measured contact impedances are less than or equal to a first threshold. The results of measurement of an electrocardiographic signal by the designated electrode units are added in order to minimize noise. An electrode unit with high contact impedance is used to measure induction noise and remove the induction noise component from the electrocardiographic signal measurement result.

Abstract: A signal detector detects biological signal associated with a driver using electrode devices and a pulse wave sensor built into a steering wheel. A pulse wave sensor is built into a spoke part of the steering wheel and electrode devices are built into a ring part joined with the left and right spoke parts. The electrode devices and the pulse wave sensor are built into the surface of the steering wheel through insertion into recesses in the steering wheel. The left and right electrode devices and the pulse wave sensor contact thumb bases of the palms of the driver.
