A vehicular display system shows a view image including a blind area with superior visibility. Embodiments include an imaging unit that captures an image of a surrounding area of a vehicle; an image processing unit that converts the image into a view image of the surrounding area of the vehicle seen from inside a cabin; and a display unit. The image processing unit generates a rear-view image acquired when an area behind the vehicle is seen from a first virtual viewpoint located in the cabin, and a front-view image acquired when an area in front of the vehicle is seen from a second virtual viewpoint located behind the first virtual viewpoint in the cabin. The display unit shows the rear-view image when the vehicle travels backward, the front-view image when the vehicle travels forward, and shows both of the view images at substantially the same angle of view.

Vehicular display system

Disclosed is a vehicle display system () for displaying an image of surroundings of a vehicle. The vehicle display system () includes: a display () configured to display an image thereon; a camera () mounted on the vehicle and configured to image surroundings of the vehicle; and a display control unit () configured to subject an image captured by the camera to mask processing, using a mask image (MR, MF) including a semi-transparent portion (M, M, M, M) corresponding to a vehicle body, and a portion (M, M, M) corresponding to a window of the vehicle and having a transmittance lower than that of the portion corresponding to the vehicle body, to generate a masked image (D), and cause the masked image to be displayed on the display.

Vehicle display system

Disclosed is an in-vehicle image display device equipped in a vehicle to support driving of a driver. The in-vehicle image display system comprises: a side camera installed to a lateral portion of an exterior of the vehicle to face outwardly and configured to take an image of an area lateral to the vehicle by using a wide-angle lens; a processing unit configured to correct a wide-angle image taken by the side camera to generate a planar image, and process the planar image to generate a processed image; and a display unit configured to display the processed image transmitted from the processing unit on a screen, wherein the processing unit is operable to execute a secondary processing of the planar image so as not to include an image region located outward from the reachable position in a vehicle-width direction, in order to generate the processed image.

In-vehicle image display system and image processing method

A vehicle headlight control device is provided with: a pedestrian detection unit which detects a pedestrian; and a headlight control unit which controls an irradiation state of a headlight. When the pedestrian detection unit detects a pedestrian within an irradiation range of the headlight, the headlight control unit executes dimming control for controlling the irradiation state of the headlight so that a periphery of the pedestrian is dimmed. The pedestrian is irradiated with a part of a high beam or a low beam, or marking light emitted from a dedicated light source. A dimming region is formed around the pedestrian by the dimming control, and contrast in brightness between the pedestrian and his/her surroundings can be raised.
