VEHICLE VICINITY MONITORING SYSTEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle vicinity monitoring system not requiring independent transmission of a detection signal and an image signal and capable of enhancing mounting efficiency in the vehicle vicinity monitoring system provided with a photographing part and a sensor part and capable of recognizing an obstacle approaching to the vehicle by a driver. SOLUTION: A photographing/sensor unit part 12 having the photographing part 21 for photographing a vicinity of the vehicle 11, the sensor part 22 for detecting a distance to the obstacle at the vicinity of the vehicle 11 and DSP 23 for inserting the detection signal of the sensor part 22 to the image signal of the photographing part 21 to produce a mixed signal is provided and connected to a control processing part 14 by a single signal line 13. An insertion signal detection part 24b in the control processing part 14 extracts the detection signal inserted to the image signal and a distance calculation part 24c calculates the distance to the obstacle based on the detection signal. An image processing part 24d overlaps an auxiliary image of a memory part 24e on the photographed image based on the calculated distance to display it on a display part 15.
