Publication number: 20220146840Abstract: A yawing information acquisition unit acquires a yaw angle of a vehicle. A deviation possibility prediction unit predicts a possibility of deviation of the vehicle from an expected traveling route, using at least one piece of information among line-of-sight information about an occupant, utterance information, and traffic information. A yawing change prediction unit determines deviation of the vehicle from the expected traveling route, using the yaw angle and the possibility of deviation. In a case where the yawing change prediction unit has determined the deviation, an image generation unit changes a superimposition target and corrects the difference in position between the superimposition target after the change and a display object.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 11, 2019Publication date: May 12, 2022Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventor: Shuhei OTA

Publication number: 20210152812Abstract: An image generating unit generates an image and causes a display device to display the image. An eye position information acquiring unit acquires position information of the left eye and the right eye of an observer. A stereoscopic viewing area controlling unit specifies the position of stereoscopic viewing areas on the basis of the rotation angle of a projection mechanism adjusting unit for rotating a projection plane about a vertical axis and adjusts the position of the stereoscopic viewing areas by instructing the projection mechanism adjusting unit to rotate the projection plane about the vertical axis depending on the position information of the left eye and the right eye of the observer.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 24, 2017Publication date: May 20, 2021Applicant: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Shuhei OTA, Kiyotaka KATO

Publication number: 20190373249Abstract: A display control unit (4) causes a display unit (5a) to display a stereoscopic image in which an image, in which a right-eye pixel (201Rpix) and a left-eye pixel (201Lpix) are periodically arrayed in the horizontal direction, is arrayed in every two rows in the vertical direction. An image separating unit (5b) separates the stereoscopic image into right-eye pixels (201aR) and left-eye pixels (201aL) at a separation angle ?0 and also into right-eye pixels (201bR) and left-eye pixels (201bL) at a separation angle ?1.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2017Publication date: December 5, 2019Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Kiyotaka KATO, Shuhei OTA

Patent number: 10410423Abstract: An HUD superimposes a display object, as a stereoscopic image or a planar image, on an actual scene. A display control device acquires information about a moving object and information about surrounding and estimates a relative distance between a display obstacle and the moving object. When it is determined that the display obstacle exists or can exist between the display object and the moving object, the display control device changes the display mode of the display object in accordance with the amount of change in the relative distance and notifies the HUD of the display mode.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2015Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Shuhei Ota, Takashi Hirano, Taro Kumagai

Patent number: 10168786Abstract: An emphasis level R is calculated in accordance with a difference between a position of a hand of an operator A specified based on a detection signal of a 3D camera 6 and a predetermined position of a hand for performing a gesture operation. A notification of a presence of an operation object intended for the gesture operation is provided with the calculated emphasis level R to thereby guide the hand of the operator A to a predetermined position of a hand, every time the emphasis level R is calculated in response to the detection of the hand of the operator A by the 3D camera 6.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2014Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Takashi Hirano, Taro Kumagai, Shuhei Ota
