Abstract
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for displaying a bird's eye view image around vehicle that enables a driver to recognize a solid obstacle near a joint, in a relatively simple manner and without imposing a processing load. SOLUTION: The device for displaying bird's eye view image around vehicle includes a plurality of on-vehicle cameras for taking images of the vehicle's perimeter; an image conversion processing means including lens distortion correction processing, visual point conversion processing, display region cutting-out processing, and a synthesizing means for connecting and composing the cut out display region to create a bird's eye view image around vehicle which are applied to images photographed by the cameras; and a display means for presenting the driver and vehicle occupants with the bird's eye view image. The image conversion processing means, further, includes a reference height change means for sequentially creating the bird's eye view images, with respect to a second to (n +1)th reference heights (n is an integer of 1 or larger) which are progressively higher than a road surface level, in addition to the road surface level (first reference height), and set a first to (n+1)th bird's eye view images.

Driving support system

TL;DR: In this paper, a driving support system includes a rotation amount setting means and a bird's eye view image generating means, where the rotation angle is set based on the previously set inclination angle of the image pickup device to the horizontal plane and the distance from the vehicle for the image within a range where the minimum distance to the vehicle is not more than a predetermined threshold.

Method and device for detecting material object

TL;DR: In this article, the object regions occupied by the objects having heights and existing outside the referential plane are extracted from differences among the projected images, and then a plurality of virtual planes are set parallel to the original object regions on the upper and lower sides of the object region by a space scanning method processing device.
