DRIVE ASSISTANCE DEVICE

摘要

The device comprises: a first image capture means (7) for image capturing a host vehicle vicinity; a sonar (12) which senses an object in the host vehicle vicinity; a second image capture means (14) for image capturing the left front corner of the host vehicle; an image compositing means for forming a bird's-eye image on the basis of the images which are captured with the first image capture means (7) and the second image capture means (14); and a control means (5) for controlling a switch of a display of a display means (13). The control means (5) establishes the display switch condition of the display means (13) on the basis of the travel state of the host vehicle when the sonar (12) senses the object and the travel state of the host vehicle when the sonar (12) does not sense the object.

主权项

1. A drive assistance apparatus comprising:
a first imaging section that captures an image of a region around a vehicle on which the first imaging section is installed; an object detecting section that detects an object around the vehicle; a second imaging section that captures an image of a region around a corner of the vehicle, the corner including at least a front corner in a direction opposite to a position of a steering wheel of the vehicle; a running state detecting section that detects a running state of the vehicle; an image combining section that create an overhead view image by combination based on a captured image of the region around the vehicle that has been received from the first imaging section or from the first imaging section and the second imaging section; a display section that displays the overhead view image created by combination by the image combining section and a predetermined image captured by the first imaging section or the second imaging section; and a control section that controls transition of a display image of the display section based on detection results of the object detecting section and the running state detecting section, wherein the control section determines a transition condition for the display image of the display section based on the running state of the vehicle when the object detecting section detects an object and the running state of the vehicle when the object detecting section no longer detects the object.
