VEHICLE PERIPHERY MONITORING SYSTEM

摘要

Disclosed is a vehicle periphery monitoring system assisting the driver to intuitively grasp the space without a sense of strangeness by causing the behavior shown in a superimposed semitransparent tire image to agree with the movement viewed from the point of view of the driver and further enabling the driver to simply grasp the direction in which the vehicle is traveling and the behavior. A side view monitor system (A1) is provided with left and right side cameras (1, 2) for capturing an image of the blind-corner region of the driver, an external monitor (4), and an image processing controller (3) for generating monitor display video image data on the basis of a real camera video image. The image processing controller (3) creates a blind-corner image by converting the real camera video image showing the blind-corner region into a video image viewed from the point of view of the driver and generates monitor display video image data representing the blind-corner image through a semitransparent vehicle image and a semitransparent tire image viewed from the point of view of the driver by image composition of superimposing the semitransparent vehicle image showing the vehicle viewed from the point of view of the driver and made semitransparent and the semitransparent tire image showing a tire made semitransparent and the behavior following up the steering wheel operation viewed from the point of view of the driver on the blind-corner image.
