Abstract: A slewing-type hydraulic excavator has a plurality of cameras 13 for respectively imaging toward different directions. A view point converting section 21 performs coordinate image data conversion to create overhead view images to look down from an upper position. A composite overhead view image creating section 22 creates a composite overhead view image P arranged around a graphic image of the hydraulic excavator 1. An interference scope indicating section 25 indicates the scope of potential interference on the overhead view image with a surrounding obstacle at respective ground heights at the time of rotating the hydraulic excavator 1. A display image creating section 26 produces the composite overhead view image P together with interference scope which is displayed on a monitor.

Abstract: A periphery monitoring device for a work machine includes imaging devices that capture an image of the surroundings of the work machine. An overhead view image is generated from the surroundings of the work machine based upon upper view-point images of the image devices. When generating an overhead view image of an overlap region of first and second upper view-point images relating to the images captured by the first and second imaging devices, the overhead view image generating unit, based upon a height of a virtual monitoring target, sets at least one of a first region in which the first upper view-point image is displayed and a second region in which the second upper view-point image is displayed, and also sets a third region in which a composite display image based upon the first and second upper view-point images is displayed.

Abstract: A plurality of images captured by a plurality of cameras respectively to create a plurality of upper viewpoint images. Display images are extracted from the upper viewpoint images, and the extracted display images are synthesized to create an overhead image or bird's eye view image of surroundings, which has an image corresponding to an operating machine at a center of the bird's eye view image. When extracting each of the display images, a region of the display image extracted from the upper viewpoint image is expanded beyond the size of a standard extraction region on the basis of the set height of a mating face. Each of the extracted display images is adjusted to the size of the standard extraction region, and synthesized. Thus, any three-dimensional object (obstacle) present near the boundary between display images constituting the bird's eye view image is displayed.
