| 181 | VISION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING A FIELD OF VIEW DEPENDENT UPON DETECTING AN OBJECT | US12837971 | 2010-07-16 | US20120013742A1 | 2012-01-19 | Manuel R. Fairchild; David W. Zimmerman; Michael E. Miller |
| A vision system in a vehicle and a method for operating the system. The system displays a field of view that is a portion of an image of an area proximate to the vehicle. The system includes an object detection means that provides an indication of an object being present in the area proximate to the vehicle. The field of view is selected at least in part based on the detection of the object, such as directing the field of view toward the object so the vehicle driver can more easily discern the presence of the object in a display. | ||||||

| A driving support method and apparatus for displaying, on a medial side of a pillar of the vehicle, an image of an area which is hidden as a blind spot in a rear-view mirror mounted on or in a vehicle, when looking in the mirror from the driver's position and which is created by the pillar. The apparatus detects a head position of a driver, detects the angle of the rear-view mirror, calculates the area which is hidden as the blind spot on the basis of the detected driver's head position and the detected angle of the rear-view mirror, and projects an image of the area corresponding to the blind spot onto the pillar, the projected image being formed from image data which is obtained from a blind spot camera mounted on the vehicle. | ||||||

| Provided is an in-vehicle image display device capable of providing, from among images of the peripheral area of a vehicle that can change in accordance with the driving state, an image of a part needed by the driver at an appropriate timing so that the driver can recognize the positional relationship between the vehicle and the peripheral area of the vehicle. Images captured with in-vehicle cameras are acquired, and a vehicle periphery image is generated from such images. Then, a collision-warned part of the vehicle that has a possibility of hitting a nearby object is selected based on the vehicle driving state, and the acquired image is processed to generate an enlarged image of the peripheral area of the collision-warned part of the vehicle selected by the collision-warned part selection part. Then, a composite display image, in which the positions of the enlarged image and the vehicle periphery image are displayed in a correlated manner, is generated and displayed. | ||||||

| A driving support system performs a viewpoint conversion, generates, from a camera image obtained from an in-vehicle camera, an extended bird's-eye view image corresponding to a synthesized image of first and second element images, and displays the generated image. The first element image is a bird's-eye view image showing the condition around a vehicle. The second element image is a far image showing the condition far away from the vehicle. The extended bird's-eye view image is obtained by converting the camera image to an image viewed from the viewpoint of a virtual camera. When the first and second element images are generated, the depression angles of the virtual camera are 90 degrees and 90 degrees or less, respectively. When the extended bird's-eye view image is generated corresponding to the tilt angle or the like of an actual camera, it is automatically determined whether the lack of an image occurs or not. In the case where the lack of the image occurs, the position of the boundary between the first and second element images, the height of the viewpoint of the virtual camera, etc., are adjusted so that the lack disappears. | ||||||

| An image processor (3) includes: an image input unit (7) that obtains an image captured by an imaging device (2) installed on a vehicle; a vehicle information input unit (8) that obtains the distance between the vehicle and a road junction or curve from a navigation system (5); a recording unit (15) in which imaging information and driver information are pre-stored; a magnifying object recognition unit (9) that recognizes a certain magnifying object in the obtained captured image; and a composing unit (11) that produces, when a magnifying object is recognized, a composite image of an magnified image and the captured image. The composing unit (11) uses the distance obtained by the vehicle information input unit (8) as well as the imaging information and the driver information stored in the recording unit (15) to calculate an area in the captured image that is not an image of a blind spot for the driver, and produces the composite image such that the magnified image is superimposed on the non-blind spot area. This allows the driver to perceive information on the blind spot area and on the magnified image through a single action. | ||||||

| A maneuver assisting apparatus is arranged on a vehicle that moves on a road surface, and includes a plurality of cameras that capture the road surface from diagonally above. A CPU repeatedly creates a complete-surround birds-eye view image relative to a road surface, based on a plurality of object scene images repeatedly outputted from the plurality of cameras. The created complete-surround bird's-eye view image is reproduced on a monitor screen. The CPU determines whether or not there is a three-dimensional object such as an architectural structure in a side portion of a direction orthogonal to a moving direction of the vehicle, based on the complete-surround bird's-eye view image created as described above. Also, the CPU adjusts a ratio of a partial image equivalent to a side portion noticed for a determining process, to the complete-surround bird's-eye view image reproduced on the monitor screen, based on a determination result. | ||||||

| Disclosed is an imaging apparatus capable of enlarging a portion of an image captured by an imaging device of a fisheye camera and displaying the enlarged image on a display screen with little distortion. The imaging apparatus enlarges a section, which is a portion of an image captured by a fisheye camera, and displays the section on a display screen such that the enlargement ratios of points in the section are different from each other. An image processing method uses a change function that changes the enlargement ratio of a field angle depending on the place is used, and converts a portion of the captured image into a central projection image to generate a display image. The use of the change function makes it possible to generate a display image having high visibility. | ||||||

| A vehicle periphery monitoring system takes a view image of a vehicle rear periphery, which is in a predetermined area from the vehicle. This view image is converted into a bird's-eye view image and the bird's-eye view image is displayed in a vehicle compartment to assist rearward movement of a vehicle. As the vehicle approaches an obstacle, the bird's-eye view image is formed by increasing an angle of depression of the bird's-eye view image. A masking section is synthesized with the bird's-eye view image to mask a part of the bird's-eye view image not to be viewed. This masking section is increased as the depression angle increases thereby masking the distorted part of the view image. | ||||||

| An image processing apparatus permits a user to readily recognize a current state of an angle of view. When an angle of view is switched from a wide-angle to a narrow-angle, range display is performed for a predetermined time prior to the switching. Range display includes a narrow-angle image frame formed with lines indicating a border of an image displayed for a predetermined time prior to the switching. After the predetermined time, a narrow-angle image is displayed and the range display is no longer displayed. The range display allows a user to readily recognize that the wide-angle image has been switched to the narrow-angle image by recognizing to what area in a pre-switching wide angle of view image the post-switching narrow-angle image corresponds. | ||||||

| An image processor outputs an image containing relatively much information of a central area in the horizontal direction. A mask composed of an upper mask and a lower mask is superimposed on the image. The upper mask is concave on the lower side thereof and disposed along the upper side of the image. The lower mask is concave on the upper side thereof and disposed along the lower side of the image. When the image is masked with this mask, the peripheral portion of the image that is prone to be distorted becomes invisible. Therefore, discomfort a user feels because of distortion can be reduced. In addition, the user can view the image with the much information of the central area of the image in the horizontal direction. | ||||||
