20130162829 | PARKING ASSISTANCE DEVICE - A parking assistance device with a simple configuration that flexibly guides a vehicle to a reverse start position in assisting reverse parking computes a guide route for allowing the vehicle to move forward to a reverse start position and then reverse to the parking target and the reverse start position based on the parking target with a predetermined tolerance included, generates forward guide markers constituted by a marker group including a far marker corresponding to the reverse start position and a near marker that represents an area via which the vehicle can reach the reverse start position and is located closer to the vehicle than the far marker, the forward guide markers indicating a forward route to the reverse start position by an arrangement of the marker group the width of which is increased toward the near marker from the far marker, and superimpose the markers on the surrounding image. | 06-27-2013 |
20140197940 | OBSTACLE ALERT DEVICE - An obstacle alert device is capable of indicating clearly presence of an obstacle approaching a vehicle to a driver, without impairing visibility of a peripheral situation of the vehicle. The device includes a photographed image acquisition section acquiring a photographed image photographing a scene in the periphery of the vehicle, a photographed-image-of-interest generation section generating a photographed image of interest based on the photographed image, a masked region setting section setting a masked region making undisplayed at least a portion of the scene of the vehicle periphery in the photographed image of interest, an object presence determination section determining whether an object is present or not in an outside region outside the photographed image of interest, and a masked-region highlighted-displaying section causing the masked region to be displayed with highlight when an object in the outside region has entered a region corresponding to the photographed image of interest. | 07-17-2014 |
20140198214 | OBSTACLE ALERT DEVICE - An obstacle alert device notifies a driver of the presence of an obstacle approaching a vehicle without making it difficult to see a state of the periphery of the vehicle. The apparatus includes: a captured image obtainment unit that obtains a captured image of a scene of the periphery of the vehicle; a target captured image generation unit that generates a target captured image based on the captured image; an object presence determination unit that determines whether or not an object is present in an outside region that is on an outer side of the target captured image; a movement direction determination unit that determines a movement direction of the object in the outside region; and a notification image output unit that, in the case where the movement direction determination unit has determined that the object in the outside region is moving toward the center of the target captured image, sequentially displays a plurality of indicators, that appear for a set amount of time and then disappear, in different locations of the target captured image, starting with the side having the outside region in which the object is present and moving toward the center of the target captured image, and repeats this display while displaying the plurality of indicators in positions where the indicators partially overlap with each other, with the indicator displayed later being displayed over the indicator displayed immediately previous thereto at the areas where the indicators overlap. | 07-17-2014 |
20140205147 | OBSTACLE ALERT DEVICE - An obstacle alert device is capable of indicating clearly presence of an obstacle approaching a vehicle to a driver, without impairing visibility of a peripheral situation of the vehicle. The device includes a photographed image acquisition section acquiring a photographed image photographing a scene in the periphery of the vehicle, a photographed-image-of-interest generation section generating a photographed image of interest based on the photographed image, a masked region setting section setting a masked region making un-displayed at least a portion of the scene of the vehicle periphery in the photographed image of interest, an object presence determination section determining whether an object is present or not in an outside region outside the photographed image of interest, a clear indication image outputting section outputting a clear indication image including a clear indication indicator clearly indicating presence of the object to be displayed at an end of the photographed image of interest on the side of the outside region where the object is present in case the object in the outside region moves to the side of a region corresponding to the photographed image of interest, and a motion image outputting section outputting an image in which the clear indication indicator becomes absorbed from the side of the masked region where the object is present in case the object in the outside region has entered the region corresponding to the photographed image of interest. | 07-24-2014 |
20150375680 | VEHICLE CONTROL APPARATUS AND PROGRAM TECHNICAL FIELD - A vehicle control apparatus of the embodiment includes an acquisition portion acquiring captured image data output from an imaging portion that is provided at a vehicle and that images a surrounding of the vehicle, and vehicle state data output from a vehicle state detection portion provided at the vehicle, and a control portion performing a rotation control on the captured image data based on an inclination in a left-right direction of the vehicle relative to a horizontal direction which serves as a direction included in a horizontal plane orthogonal to a direction of gravity, the inclination in the left-right direction of the vehicle being calculated from the vehicle state data, the control portion performing the rotation control in a manner that a horizontal line included in a subject captured in the captured image data is substantially parallel to a lateral-direction side with respect to a display region serving as an output destination. | 12-31-2015 |
20160001704 | SURROUNDINGS-MONITORING DEVICE AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - A surroundings-monitoring device according to embodiments includes, as an example, a memory unit that stores therein captured image data output from an imaging unit imaging an area including a road surface in a forward direction of a vehicle and an area extending upward from the road surface and an output unit that outputs, to a display device, captured image data having been previously imaged by the imaging unit and including a road surface corresponding to a position of the current vehicle in the imaged road surface, from among the captured image data stored in the memory unit. | 01-07-2016 |
