  • Patent number: 11974061
    Abstract: A display processing device is installed in a vehicle. The display processing device includes a hardware processor coupled to a memory. The processor acquires an image obtained by capturing a periphery of the vehicle and generates a bird's-eye view image of the periphery of the vehicle. The processor estimates a movement amount of the vehicle and generates past images whose capturing times are past time points. The past images are generated on the basis of the movement amount of the vehicle and a past bird's-eye view image. The processor generates a display image to be displayed on a display device in the vehicle by combining the past images and the bird's-eye view image. When occurrence of a skid phenomenon of the wheel is detected, the processor generates the display image by performing, on the past images, processing indicating that the skid phenomenon has occurred.

  • Publication number: 20220309602
    Abstract: A vehicle monitoring apparatus includes a hardware processor functioning as an image acquisition unit, an abnormality information acquisition unit, a damage determination unit, and a damage reporting unit. The image acquisition unit serves to acquire a captured image including an image representation of an exterior of a vehicle body of a vehicle. The abnormality information acquisition unit serves to acquire vehicle-body abnormality information indicating an abnormality in the vehicle body. The damage determination unit serves to determine presence or absence of damage to the vehicle body on the basis of the captured image and the vehicle-body abnormality information. The damage reporting unit serves to report, to an information processing apparatus, a damage report including the captured image or an image generated on the basis of the captured image. The damage report is reported in accordance with on a result of the determination on the damage.
