  • Patent number: 11468691
    Abstract: A traveling lane recognition apparatus includes a camera and a controller. The controller recognizes a linear marking position where a linear marking exists in each of detection target images, repeatedly performs image detection processing for detecting a white line or a blank at a linear marking position in each of detection target images corresponding to captured images, in an order of capturing time points of the captured images. The controller is configured to recognize a lane in which the vehicle is traveling among the plurality of lanes on the street based on a positional relationship between a solid lane line detected by the lane line detection and the vehicle and a positional relationship between the broken lane line detected by the lane line detection and the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11220213
    Abstract: A rear display device includes a camera, a display and a controller. The controller generates an overhead view image by performing an overhead view conversion process, controls the display to display one of a non-overhead view image and the overhead view image, detects a movement state of the vehicle, predicts a reversing course of the vehicle, and detects an object that is present within a predetermined detection range at the rear. The controller controls the display to display the overhead view image when the object is at the reversing course and a distance between the object and the vehicle is a distance determination reference value or less. The controller controls the display to display the non-overhead view image when the object is not at the reversing course or the distance between the object and the vehicle is higher than the distance determination reference value.
