Abstract: An image display control device according to an embodiment includes a display and a controller. The controller displays a first screen on the display. The first screen includes a first image and a second image. The first image is and image of a vehicle viewed from above. The second image is obtained by capturing a second area that is a part of a first area where is a capturing target around the vehicle. The controller displays, on the display, a third image that is switched from the second image, the third image. The third image is obtained by capturing a third area where is different from the second area. The third is selected as a part of area included in the first area. The controller displays identification information for identifying the third area within the first image, before the second image is switched to the third image.

Abstract: A periphery monitoring device includes: an image acquisition unit acquiring an image obtained from an imaging unit imaging a situation surrounding a towing vehicle to which a towed vehicle is connectable; a projection plane acquisition unit acquiring a three-dimensional virtual projection plane onto which the image can be projected and which is provided with a side plane rising in a height direction from a grounding surface of the towing vehicle; a projection processing unit projecting the image onto the virtual projection plane; a viewpoint setting unit setting a viewpoint position and a gazing point position with respect to the virtual projection plane; an image display unit causing a display device to display an image obtained by viewing the gazing point position from the viewpoint position with respect to the virtual projection plane; and a determination unit determining whether or not the towed vehicle is connected to the towing vehicle.

Abstract: A surroundings monitoring apparatus according to embodiments, as an example, includes a control unit causing a display device to display a display image where an indicator which indicates a towed vehicle coupled to a towing vehicle is superimposed on a vehicle surrounding image including the towing vehicle and surroundings of the towing vehicle based on a captured image obtained by being imaged by an imaging unit which images the surroundings of the towing vehicle, the control unit acquiring towed vehicle information related to the towed vehicle and changing a display mode of the indicator based on the towed vehicle information. Thus, according to the surroundings monitoring apparatus of the embodiments, the towed vehicle may be easily imagined from the display image.

Abstract: A surroundings monitoring apparatus includes an image acquisition portion acquiring captured image data, an image conversion portion converting the captured image data to virtual image data with a plurality of virtual viewpoints, and a data control portion sequentially displaying the virtual image data at a display unit in a state where each of the virtual viewpoints moves from a first virtual viewpoint position at which an opposite side of the vehicle is viewed, through a second virtual viewpoint position at which the vehicle is viewed from an overhead region of the vehicle, and to a third virtual viewpoint position at which the one side of the vehicle is viewed. The data control portion rotates the virtual image data with reference to a line of sight of the virtual viewpoint while the virtual image data is displayed so that the virtual viewpoint passes through the second virtual viewpoint position.

Abstract: A surroundings-monitoring device according to embodiments includes, as an example, a memory unit that stores therein captured image data output from an imaging unit imaging an area including a road surface in a forward direction of a vehicle and an area extending upward from the road surface and an output unit that outputs, to a display device, captured image data having been previously imaged by the imaging unit and including a road surface corresponding to a position of the current vehicle in the imaged road surface, from among the captured image data stored in the memory unit.

Abstract: To maintain a suitable vehicle separation between a driven vehicle and a preceding vehicle, a controller predicts a closest approach distance between the driven vehicle and the preceding vehicle on the assumption that the preceding vehicle decelerates at a deceleration detected by a sensor and that the driven vehicle decelerates at a prescribed assumed deceleration after running at a speed detected by the vehicle speed sensor for an idle running time. The controller predicts the speed at the time of closest approach when the separation between the preceding vehicle and the driven vehicle is the closest approach distance. A suitable vehicle separation is determined based on the predicted speed at the time of closest approach and a previously set length of time, and when the predicted closest approach distance is smaller than the suitable vehicle separation, a warning or braking force is generated.

Abstract: In order to maintain a suitable vehicle separation between a driven vehicle with respect to a preceding vehicle, an electric controller 10 predicts a closest approach distance between the driven vehicle and the preceding vehicle on the assumption that the preceding vehicle decelerates at a deceleration detected by a vehicle separation sensor 12 and the like and that the driven vehicle decelerates at a prescribed assumed deceleration after running at a speed detected by the vehicle speed sensor 11 for an idle running time. The electric controller predicts the speed at the time of closest approach when the separation between the preceding vehicle and the driven vehicle is the closest approach distance.
