Abstract
An image display control device of an embodiment includes: a mirror image creation unit that creates a mirror image of an area behind and on the side of a vehicle body based on an image captured with an image pickup unit provided on the vehicle body; an image superimposition unit that superimposes a line drawing from which at least a lower part of the vehicle body is recognizable, and the mirror image created by the mirror image creation unit; and a display control unit that controls a display device to display an image created by superimposing the mirror image and the line drawing by the image superimposition unit.
Claims14
An image display control device comprising:
- a CPU configured to:
- create a mirror image of an area behind and on a side of a vehicle body based on an image captured with a camera provided on the vehicle body;
- superimpose a line drawing from which at least a lower part of the vehicle body is recognizable, and the mirror image created by the CPU;
- and
- control a display device to display an image created by superimposing the mirror image and the line drawing by the CPU, wherein
- the lower part of the vehicle body is a plane that is defined by a floor of the vehicle body, and
- the line drawing includes an area showing a plane representing a vehicle floor in lattice pattern, and
- the lattice pattern is superimposed on the mirror image at a height of the vehicle floor as viewed from a viewpoint at an interior of the vehicle body.
An image display system comprising:
- a first camera that is provided on a vehicle body and captures an image of an area behind the vehicle body;
- a second camera that is provided on the vehicle body and captures an image of an area on a side of the vehicle body;
- a display device;
- and
- an image display control device that includes:
- a CPU configured to:
- create a mirror image of an area behind and on the side of the vehicle body based on the images captured with the first camera and the second camera;
- superimpose the mirror image and a vehicle-body image from which at least a lower part of the vehicle body is recognizable;
- and
- control the display device to display an image created by superimposing the mirror image and the vehicle-body image by the CPU, wherein
- the lower part of the vehicle body is a plane that is defined by a floor of the vehicle body, and
- the line drawing includes an area showing a plane representing a vehicle floor in lattice pattern, and
- the lattice pattern is superimposed on the mirror image at a height of the vehicle floor as viewed from a viewpoint at an interior of the vehicle body.
