<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for preventing driving behavior from being hindered as a driver is attracted to unnecessary information in the driving behavior. <P>SOLUTION: An on-vehicle camera picks up an image of a drive visual field in front of a local vehicle (S101), and a highly visually attractive area in the image of the drive visual field which attracts driver's attention strongly is estimated (S102). Then it is determined whether the estimated highly visually attractive area is information necessary for drive behavior (S103). A necessity/unnecessity is made based on the position relation between the highly visually attractive area in the image of the drive visual field and a caution area recognized by a caution area recognition part 30. When an area which is not necessary for the drive behavior and highly visually attractive is found in a drive assist image as a result of the necessity/unnecessity determination (S104: YES), a mask image which lowers the visibility of the drive visual field is displayed in a corresponding area at a mask display part which corresponds to an object area of information presentation filtering specified from the drive visual field image (S105). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
