TLDR
In this paper, an obstacle detection range is synthesized with an obstacle image imaged by the camera 2 and included in the view point converted image to be in contact therewith.Abstract:
A vehicle surrounding monitoring device include at least one camera 2 installed in an own vehicle to image a video around the own vehicle, an obstacle sensor 3 for detecting an obstacle within an imaging range of the camera 2, a pixel synthesis unit 13 for receiving a camera image imaged by the camera 2 and converting the camera image into a view point converted image seen from a virtual view point above the own vehicle, and a display device 4 for displaying the view point conversion image converted by the pixel synthesis unit 13. Simultaneously when a warning is given by a warning sound upon entry of an obstacle within an obstacle detection range of the obstacle sensor 3, an image of the obstacle detection range is synthesized with an obstacle image imaged by the camera 2 and included in the view point converted image to be in contact therewith.read more

Vehicle vision system with customized display
TL;DR: In this article, a vehicle vision system includes a plurality of cameras having respective fields of view exterior of the vehicle and a processor is operable to process image data captured by the cameras and to generate images of the environment surrounding the vehicle.
Patent
Field watch apparatus
TL;DR: In this article, a field watch is used to acquire a road image from a roadside capture unit located around the subject vehicle on a road and, based on the acquired image, generate an overhead view of a field around a subject vehicle in an intuitively recognizable manner by including a distant surrounding vehicle in the view.
