Patent number: 11176749Abstract: An imaging unit captures an image of a visual field. A detector detects a position of an eyeball and a sight line of an occupant. A visual point identifier identifies a position of a visual point of the occupant in the visual field, the eye position and the sight line direction. A measuring unit measures a position and a distance of an object included in the image of the visual field. An image generator generates display images based on the eye position and the position and the distance of the object. The display images are displayed on a virtual plane, fused on a fusion plane and displayed as a three-dimensional display on the visual field. The display images are generated to display the three-dimensional image at a given magnification ratio calculated by reducing a geometric display magnification ratio as the distance from the occupant increases.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2020Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Toshiyuki Kondo, Fumihiko Murase, Masaaki Hirose, Kazunori Higuchi, Yuji Muragishi

Publication number: 20210300183Abstract: An in-vehicle display apparatus includes: an image generating unit, an emitting unit, and a reflecting unit. The image generating unit generates, for display information that is presented to a user, an image that includes a right-eye image and a left-eye image with a parallax. The emitting unit emits a projection light that is a light flux that contains the image. The reflecting unit reflects the projection light and forms a stereoscopic image that is superimposed on an outside view. The image generating unit generates the image in which a fusion distance of the stereoscopic image of the display information is changed, within a predetermined period of time, from a current visual distance to a target distance at which the display information is to be ultimately displayed.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2021Publication date: September 30, 2021Inventors: Toshiyuki KONDO, Fumihiko MURASE, Masaaki HIROSE, Kazunori HIGUCHI, Yuji MURAGISHI, Toshiyuki TAGUCHI, Yoshikazu HATTORI

Patent number: 11011062Abstract: A target pedestrian who is present within a range of a predetermined distance from a roadway is detected. Whether or not the target pedestrian has gazed at a crossing destination and whether or not the target pedestrian has performed a safety confirmation regarding vehicles traveling on the roadway are determined based on a gaze direction of the target pedestrian. As a result, when the target pedestrian has performed one action of either of gazing at the crossing destination and the safety confirmation, and then performed the other action within a predetermined amount of time, the target pedestrian is detected as a pre-crossing pedestrian who has an intention to cross the roadway. Consequently, a pedestrian who is attempting to cross the roadway can be accurately detected at a stage before the pedestrian actually starts crossing.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2017Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: DENSO CORPORATIONInventors: Shinya Kitayama, Hirokazu Oyabu, Masaaki Hirose, Toshiyuki Kondo, Tadashi Kamada
