VEHICLE PERIPHERY OBSTACLE DISPLAY DEVICE AND VEHICLE PERIPHERY OBSTACLE DISPLAY METHOD

摘要

A vehicle periphery obstacle display device (10) comprises: a wide-angle camera (16) which captures an image of an object in the periphery of a host vehicle (VM); an obstacle range sensor (12) which measures the distance from the host vehicle (VM) to the object; and a bird's-eye image generation unit (22) and a display unit (24) which display the image of the object which the wide-angle camera (16) has captured as a bird's-eye image of the periphery of the host vehicle (VM). The display unit (24) incorporates and displays the image of the object which the wide-angle camera (16) has captured in the location within a bird's-eye image (101) of the periphery of the host vehicle (VM) which corresponds to the distance which the obstacle range sensor (12) has measured. It is thus possible to properly display the location of the object even when the location of the object in the bird's-eye image (101) does not match the location of the object based on the result of the measurement of the obstacle range sensor (12). It is thus easy for a driver to ascertain the location of an object in the periphery of the host vehicle (VM).
