Abstract
An in-vehicle display system includes: an angle estimation unit that estimates, based on an image captured by a camera, an angle provided by a straight line connecting an own vehicle and a preceding vehicle with respect to a front-rear direction of the own vehicle; an inter-vehicle distance estimation unit that estimates an inter-vehicle distance between the own vehicle and the preceding vehicle based on a detection result obtained by a radar sensor of the own vehicle; a height calculation unit that calculates a height of the preceding vehicle based on the angle and the inter-vehicle distance; a gradient estimation unit that estimates a gradient of a road ahead of the own vehicle based on a temporal change of the height of the preceding vehicle; and a display control unit that displays an icon on a windshield so that the icon is superimposed on a landscape ahead of the own vehicle.
