A vehicle periphery monitoring device acquires first image information of a vehicle rear side and second image information of vehicle rear lateral sides. Second points at infinity of the second image information are made to approximately coincide with a first point at infinity of the first image information, and the first image information and the second image information are combined, and first composite image information is generated. When sensing a request to change a viewpoint toward a vehicle rear lateral side, second composite image information that is viewed with a virtual viewpoint having been moved toward a vehicle lateral side is generated. Further, when a path changing operation of an operation portion that is used in changing a path is completed, third composite image information that is viewed with a virtual viewpoint having been moved toward the side of the path change is generated.

Vehicle periphery monitoring device and vehicle periphery monitoring method

At an imaging device, a camera that captures images is housed in an outer cover and is provided at a vehicle exterior, and captures images of the vehicle exterior via a cover lens that is provided at an outer wall. A step portion, which causes an outer peripheral surface that is at the outer wall side to protrude-out further than an outer peripheral surface that is at a side opposite the outer wall, is provided at an outer peripheral surface of the outer cover.

Vehicle exterior camera device

In an imaging device, a bracket and a camera are capable of rotating with respect to a base, and harnesses are routed inside an inner supporting tube of the base. A covering frame of a harness cover covers an upper end portion of the inner supporting tube, the harness is abutted on the covering frame, and the covering frame is capable of rotating integrally with the bracket. This enables the harnesses to be suppressed from sliding on the covering frame and enables load input to the harnesses to be suppressed when the bracket is rotated, even though the harness is press-contacted to the covering frame.

Camera imaging device for a vehicle

In an imaging device, a stay is supported at a side door of a vehicle, and a camera module is attached to a camera cover. The stay and the camera cover are integrally molded together. This enables a simple configuration.

Imaging unit support structure

A mirror apparatus for a vehicle includes a design body, a first emission member, a second emission member, a guide body and a differentiation portion. The design body includes a mirror provided at a vehicle, and the design body structures a design surface. The first emission member emits light and the second emission member emits light. The guide body guides the light emitted by the first emission member and the light emitted by the second emission member to an outer side of the design body. The differentiation portion makes directions in which the light emitted by the first emission member and the light emitted by the second emission member are guided by the guide body different.
