    摘要: An image acquisition unit acquires camera images obtained by cameras, which are configured to photograph a periphery of the vehicle. An image synthesizing unit projects data of the camera images on a virtual projection surface, which corresponds to the periphery of the vehicle, and forms a synthetic image showing the periphery of the vehicle, which is viewed from a virtual view point, by using the data projected on the projection surface. A travelling-environment determination unit determines whether a travelling environment of the vehicle is an off-road or an on-road based on a signal from an other on-board device of the vehicle. The image synthesizing unit is configured to change a shape of the projection surface, which is for forming the synthetic image, according to whether the travelling-environment determination unit determines that the travelling environment is an off-road.

    摘要: A vehicle periphery monitoring apparatus includes a camera, an electronic control unit and a display unit configured to display the display image. The ECU is configured to generate a display image of an external environment based on image information from the camera such that the display image includes a first display image from a first predetermined viewpoint from which one of right and left side surfaces of a host vehicle and a rear portion or a front portion of the host vehicle are obliquely seen from above. The ECU is configured to generate and output the display image including the first display image in at least any one of a predetermined first traveling status of the host vehicle, a predetermined periphery status of the area on either side of the host vehicle, and a state in which a turn signal lever is manipulated.

    摘要: A periphery image display control device displays an image of a periphery area photographed by a camera sensor 21, and predicts a travel path area which a vehicle-body of the own vehicle will pass through along a predicted travel path. The device detects locations of obstacle points and heights of the obstacle points. The heights of the obstacle points become higher as the obstacle points are farther from the own vehicle. When a gradient (GR=(YO−YB)/(XO−KB)) being a ratio of “a subtraction value obtained by subtracting a height of a first obstacle point which is nearer from the own vehicle from a height of a second obstacle point which is farther from the own vehicle” to “a distance between the two obstacle points along the predicted travel path” is greater than a threshold gradient GRth, the device displays an alert screen for the second obstacle point.

    摘要: A vehicle surrounding display apparatus comprises a display control means for displaying images, each of which corresponding to each of a plurality of display modes on a display screen. The display control means, when at a first mode, generates a first bird's-eye view image of a vehicle and a first surrounding region thereof seen from a bird's-eye view to display this image in a first display area with a fixed size on the display screen and generates a first another image to display this image in a second display area with a fixed size on the display screen, and when at a second mode, generates a second bird's-eye view image of a vehicle and a second surrounding region thereof wider than the first surrounding region to display this image in the first display area and generates a second another image to display this image in the second display area.

    摘要: A monitoring device for a vehicle that, in a case in which it is determined, based on information captured by a towing information capture device, that the vehicle is not towing another vehicle, provides support for monitoring an area to a rear of the vehicle using images captured by a first capture device, and in a case in which it is determined, based on the information captured by the towing information capture device, that the vehicle is towing another vehicle, provides support for monitoring the area to the rear of the vehicle using images captured by a second capture device.
