The present disclosure provides a vehicle rear region image display device that may suppress a sense of incongruity to a displayed image, due to offset in timings between a timing at which a vehicle occupant sways due to vibrations and a timing at which the displayed image of a display section shakes. Namely, an acceleration sensor, which detects acceleration as a physical amount corresponding to an amount of displacement in a vehicle vertical direction of a rearview mirror monitor due to vibrations inputted to front wheels of a vehicle, is provided in a vicinity of the rearview mirror monitor. On the basis of results of detection of the acceleration sensor, a control device computes an amount of shake of a rear camera, and carries out shake correction so as match a timing at which vibrations are inputted to rear wheels of the vehicle.

A rear vision system and a corresponding method for use with a host vehicle towing a trailer or other object. The rear vision system may include a rear facing camera, a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) unit, vehicle dynamic sensors, a navigation unit, a control unit, and an electronic display mirror. When the towed trailer obstructs the rear facing camera, the system and method look for unseen vehicles behind the trailer and use the V2V unit to gather information from these vehicles. This information is then used to generate a rendering that graphically depicts or represents the unseen vehicle, and the rendering is superimposed on top of the video output from the rear facing camera in the form of enhanced video output, which is then displayed on the electronic display mirror. Thus, the driver is able to “see” behind the obstructing trailer without the use of additional cameras installed on the trailer.

A vehicle-periphery-image-providing system may include an image-capturing unit, a viewpoint-change unit, an image-composition unit, an object-detection unit, a line-width-setting unit, and a line-selection unit. The image-capturing units, such as cameras, capture images outside a vehicle periphery and generate image-data items. The viewpoint-change unit generates a bird's-eye-view image for each image-data item based on the image-data item so that end portions of the real spaces corresponding to two adjacent bird's-eye-view images overlap each other. The image-composition unit generates a bird's-eye-view-composite image by combining the bird's-eye-view images according to a predetermined layout. The object-detection unit detects an object existing in the real space corresponding to a portion where the bird's-eye-view images of the bird's-eye-composite image are joined to each other. The line-width-setting unit sets the width of the line image corresponding to the joining portion. The line-selection unit adds a line image having the set width to an overlap portion of one of the bird's-eye-view images.
