An image processing apparatus includes an image processor configured to: acquire a plurality of captured images captured by a plurality of cameras installed on a vehicle; generate a composite image showing a vicinity of the vehicle viewed from a virtual viewpoint, using the plurality of captured images; generate a vicinity image by superimposing a distance indicator that shows at least one distance from the vehicle on the composite image, the distance indicator encompassing a periphery of the vehicle in the composite image; and output the vicinity image to a display to cause the vicinity image to be displayed on the display.

Image processing apparatus

An image processing apparatus that processes an image includes an image processor configured to: acquire a photographic image from a camera photographing a region near a host vehicle; derive a trace line showing a moving trace of a path on which the host vehicle has moved previously; derive a prediction line showing a predicted moving path of the host vehicle; generate a support image by superimposing the trace line and the prediction line on the photographic image when a wheel of the host vehicle is turned; and output the support image to a display apparatus that displays the support image.

Current position of a vehicle and current time are acquired. A user recognizing unit recognizes a user. A pattern recognizing unit detects location of a portable device and movement thereof. Operation state of an engine is acquired from an engine control mechanism. Based on the information, processes are performed such as switching communication stand-by mode of the portable device to active stand-by mode, notifying the portable device of a transition of an on-board terminal to automatic locking mode, preventing needless unlocking and locking of doors, and setting warning mode of the portable device.

The present invention teaches an antitheft device whereby the detection accuracy of an unauthorized intruder into a vehicle can be improved, comprising a section for judging whether or not there is an approaching object T toward a vehicle M based on information obtained from a surround monitoring sensor for monitoring the surround of the vehicle M, a section for judging whether or not the approaching object T toward the vehicle M is a suspicious person based on information obtained from a motion sensor for monitoring the periphery and/or the inside of the vehicle M when it is judged that there is an approaching object T toward the vehicle M, and a section for conducting processing such as lighting-on of an indicator when the approaching object T toward the vehicle M is judged to be a suspicious person.

Antitheft device, monitoring device and antitheft system

A radio wave direction-of-arrival estimation apparatus and method that can estimate, at high speed and with good accuracy, the direction of arrival of a plurality of incoming waves having high correlation. The radio wave direction-of-arrival estimation apparatus includes: an array antenna constructed from a plurality of antenna elements; a receiver for receiving an incoming wave via each of the antenna elements; a correlation matrix calculator for calculating a correlation matrix from each received signal; a correction matrix adder for adding a correction matrix having a suitable correction value only at a specific matrix element to the calculated correlation matrix; an inverse matrix calculator for calculating the inverse matrix of the correlation matrix to which the correction matrix has been added; a weight vector calculator for calculating a weight vector based on the calculated inverse matrix; an angular spectrum calculator for calculating an angular spectrum by using the calculated weight vector; and a direction-of-arrival estimator for estimating the direction of arrival of the incoming wave from the peak waveform of the calculated angular spectrum.

Apparatus and method for estimating direction of arrival of radio wave

A data processing apparatus executes data processing with respect to an output of A/D conversion of an input signal. The data processing apparatus includes a high-frequency noise recognition unit. The high-frequency noise recognition unit detects number of peaks of waveforms of the input signal on a basis of the output of the A/D conversion. The high-frequency noise recognition unit determines whether or not the number of the peaks, which has been detected within a predetermined time, is equal to or larger than a predetermined value.

Data processing apparatus, intrusion sensor and antitheft apparatus

A vehicle environment control device for recognizing and controlling the state of vehicle-associated equipment and a vehicle environment has a personal data storage section for storing user's personal data associated with users of the vehicle M, a fingerprint information storage section for storing information about fingerprints of authorized users thereof, a section for identifying a user based on fingerprint information, a section for reading personal data (such as a physique) of the identified user thereof from the personal data storage section and a section for setting the vehicle M to be an environment suitable for the user (such as setting a seat position) based on the read personal data, resulting in improved convenience of a driver or occupants in using a vehicle.
