<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an on-board imaging apparatus which can distinguish a light of an oncoming vehicle from a light reflected from an object and accurately detect the head-light of an oncoming vehicle if a bright area is included in an image photographed by a photographing means. <P>SOLUTION: An image processing unit ECU 1 detects a high-brightness slash image that crosses with the trace of the end of a wiper from an image outputted from a camera 2. Based on the detected high-brightness slash image, a light source, such as the head-light of an oncoming vehicle, is detected. Then, image processing to control the brightness of the light source in the image is performed to display the image photographed by the camera 2. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
