  • Publication number: 20220383645
    Abstract: A rendering system includes a rendering unit and a correction unit. The rendering unit renders, based on a result of detection by a detection system, a marker corresponding to a location of a target. The detection system is installed in a moving vehicle for the purpose of detecting the target. The correction unit corrects, based on correction data, the location of the target in accordance with the result of detection by the detection system and thereby determines a location of the marker to be rendered by the rendering unit. The correction data is obtained based on at least traveling information about a traveling condition of the moving vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10013951
    Abstract: A display control device includes an input unit receiving a recognition result of a surrounding situation of a vehicle; and control circuitry controlling an image generating device such that a predetermined image indicating a presentation image at the time of being displayed on a display medium transmitting light is generated in a case in which a predetermined target is recognized in the vicinity of the vehicle. The control circuitry senses, on the basis of the recognition result, that a color of a foreground of the vehicle on which the first presentation image is superimposed in the display medium is changed from a first color to a second color.

  • Publication number: 20180037165
    Abstract: An object sensor senses that an object has come near the vehicle by sensing that the object is within a predetermined range behind a vehicle. When the object sensor senses that the object has come near the vehicle by sensing that the object is within the predetermined range behind the vehicle, a compressor creates a compressed image obtained by compressing a part of a display target range in a rearward image. When the object having come near is sensed, the display target range is changed to a second display target range obtained by moving down a lower end of a first display target range; the first display target range is the display target range when the object is out of the predetermined range. The compressor compresses a part of the rearward image in a vertical direction; the rearward image is present within the second display target range.

  • Patent number: 9659519
    Abstract: In a video display control device, a control data generating section allocates a part of a dynamic range of a high gradation region of a video signal to a low gradation region, and a backlight controlling section controls a light emission luminance of a backlight so as to cancel an increase or decrease of a mean luminance of a video displayed on a screen in accordance with an increase or decrease of the mean luminance of a video signal after correction with respect to a mean luminance of the video signal.

  • Publication number: 20160337594
    Abstract: A vehicle-mountable display device includes an image display unit configured to be mounted to a position of an inner rearview mirror in a cabin of a vehicle, a driving unit for driving the image display unit, and an orientation controller for controlling the driving unit to control an orientation of the image display unit. The orientation controller is configured to turn the orientation of the image display unit into a rearview-mirror-mode orientation when the image display unit operates at a rearview mirror mode in which the half-mirror is used as a rearview mirror. The orientation controller is configured to turn the orientation of the image display unit into a display-mode orientation different from the rearview-mirror-mode orientation when the image display unit operates at a display mode in which the image display displays the captured image.

  • Patent number: 9288426
    Abstract: A video display control device includes a video signal processing section that corrects a video signal and outputs a video signal after correction to a display, and a backlight controlling section that controls a light emission amount of a backlight. A control data generating section allocates to a low gradation region of the video signal a high gradation region dynamic range of the video signal in which a video signal corresponding to a black band region is excluded. The backlight controlling section controls a light emission luminance of the backlight so as to cancel out an increase or a decrease in the mean luminance of the video displayed on a screen.
