An image display apparatus has: a synthesizing device () for synthesizing a rear image (B) captured by a rear imaging device (B) for imaging a rear area of the vehicle () and a first rear side image (BL,BR) captured by a first rear side imaging device (BL,BR) for imaging a first rear side area of the vehicle to generate a synthesized image (C); and a displaying device () for displaying the synthesized image. The synthesizing device varies a proportion of an area of each of the rear image and the first rear side image to the synthesized image on the basis of a first information relating to a first turn indicator configured to operate to inform that the vehicle travels rightward or leftward.

Image display apparatus

An image display apparatus has: a synthesizing device () for synthesizing a rear image (B) captured by a rear imaging device (B) for imaging rear area of a first vehicle () and a rear side image (BL,BR) captured by a rear side imaging device (BL,BR) for imaging rear side area of the first vehicle to generate a synthesized image (C); and a display () for displaying the synthesized image. The synthesizing device varies a proportion of each of a rear image area and a rear side image area to the synthesized image based on velocity of the first vehicle and/or a distance between the first vehicle and a second vehicle existing at the rear of the first vehicle, wherein the rear image area and the rear side image area are areas in which the rear image and the rear side image are displayed, respectively, in the synthesized image.

An image display apparatus has: a synthesizing device () for synthesizing a rear image (B) and a rear side image (BL,BR) to generate a synthesized image (C), wherein the rear image is captured by a rear imaging device (B) for imaging a rear area of a vehicle () and the rear side image is captured by a rear side imaging device (BL,BR) for imaging a rear side area of the vehicle; and a displaying device () for displaying the synthesized image, the synthesizing device generates the synthesized image so that the synthesized image generated when the vehicle goes in reverse includes a first scene that is below, viewed from the vehicle, a second scene that is included in the synthesized image generated when the vehicle does not go in reverse.

An image display apparatus has: a setting device () for setting a synthesizing plane (CS) at a position that is away backward from a first vehicle; a synthesizing device () for synthesizing a rear image (B) captured by a rear imaging device (B) for imaging a rear area of the first vehicle and a rear side image (BL,BR) captured by a rear side imaging device (B) for imaging a rear side area of the first vehicle to generate a synthesized image (C) in which a scene in the rear image and a scene in the rear side image are seamlessly connected at a position of the synthesizing plane, the setting device sets the synthesizing plane at a position that is different from a position at which the synthesizing plane is set when a second vehicle does not exist at the rear of the first vehicle, when the second vehicle exists at the rear of the first vehicle.

A vehicle imaging support device includes: an identification unit that is configured to identify an imaging device that is able to image a vehicle in a driving state from outside, based on a position of the vehicle; a instruction unit that is configured to instructs the imaging device identified by the identification unit, to capture an image of the vehicle in the driving state; and an acquisition unit that obtains the image captured by the imaging device in response to the instruction from the instruction unit.

Vehicle imaging support device, method, and program storage medium

There is provided a destination information retrieval device including: a first memory; and a first processor connected to the first memory, wherein the first processor acquires posted information from a management server that manages a social networking service (SNS), determines, based on the acquired posted information and current positional information regarding a vehicle, a destination of the vehicle, and outputs the determined destination as destination information.

Destination information retrieval device, storage medium storing program, and destination information retrieval system

An image processing apparatus for processing an image according to one embodiment includes a generating unit, a display control unit, and a change receiving unit. The display control unit generates a synthetic image providing a view of a vehicle from a virtual viewpoint, based on a plurality of onboard camera images. The display control unit displays the generated synthetic image on a display unit. The change receiving unit receives a change in the relative positional relation between an image region that is based on one of the camera images and image regions that are based on the other camera images in the synthetic image. The generating unit generates a synthetic image, based on a changed positional relation every time a change in the positional relation is received.

Image processing apparatus and image processing method for generating synthetic image and changing synthetic image

An image processing device according to an embodiment includes a display control unit, a pattern specification unit, and a pattern collating unit. The display control unit generates a composite image that is a surrounding image of a vehicle viewed from a virtual viewpoint, based on images input from in-vehicle cameras, and displays thereof on a display unit. The pattern specification unit specifies an image pattern to be output as the input image among image patterns, for each in-vehicle camera. The pattern collating unit determines whether all image pattern responses from the in-vehicle cameras match with the image pattern. The display control unit displays a certain preparation image on the display unit when the display switching condition to the composite image is satisfied, and displays the composite image thereon instead of the preparation image, when the pattern collating unit determines that all the image pattern responses match with the image pattern.

Image processing device and image processing method

A video display apparatus includes video output units to output signals representing first videos captured or received, respectively, and when a predetermined signal is input from an outside, only for a predetermined period, to output signals representing second videos having fixed images, instead of the signals representing the first videos, respectively; a display to display a video based on the signal output by one of the video output units; and a control apparatus to output the predetermined signal to the video output units, and after having output the predetermined signal, to execute switching a signal representing a video output to the display among the signals representing the videos output by the video output units, while the video output units having the signals representing the videos output to the display before and after the switching, respectively, output the signals representing the second videos, respectively.
