Abstract: A video is transmitted from a transmitting-side to a receiving-side by a preference transmission method that is any of a first transmission method and a second transmission method. The first transmission method transmits an original video as the video. The second transmission method generates a reduced video by reducing the original video and transmits the reduced video as the video. When receiving the reduced video, the receiving-side applies a super-resolution technique to the reduced video to improve the image quality. A first delay time is a transmission time by the first transmission method. A second delay time is a sum of a transmission time by the second transmission method and the super-resolution processing time. A transmission method corresponding to a shorter one of the first delay time and the second delay time is selected as the preference transmission method.

Abstract: A processor of a remote facility executes image generation processing to generate assistance image data to be displayed on a display based on front image data indicating front image data of a vehicle. In the image generation processing, when an image of a traffic light is included in the front image data, it is determined whether recognition likelihood of a luminescent state of a light emitting section of the traffic light is equal to or smaller than a threshold. If it is determined that recognition likelihood is less than or equal to the threshold, super-resolution processing of a preset region including the traffic light in the front image data is executed. Then, super-resolution image data of the preset region by the super-resolution processing is superimposed on a region corresponding to the preset region in the front image data. As such, the assistance image data is generated.
