Abstract
A video processing unit generates a conversion video having the same angle of view as an angle of view of a mirror image by converting a camera video. The video processing unit causes the generated conversion video to be displayed in a display region such that the conversion video is superimposed on the mirror image.
Claims13
A rearview display device comprising:
- a display unit;
- a dimming mirror that is disposed so as to be overlapped with a display surface of the display unit, and reflects, as a mirror image, a periphery of a vehicle;
- an image capturing unit that generates a video by capturing the periphery of the vehicle;
- and
- a video processing unit that generates a conversion video having an angle of view identical with an angle of view of the mirror image by converting the video, and causes the display unit to display the conversion video such that the conversion video is superimposed on the mirror image,
- wherein when causing the display unit to display the conversion video such that the conversion video is superimposed on the mirror image, the video processing unit outputs a message indicating that display for abnormality confirmation including video inversion confirmation is currently performed, and
- the display surface of the display unit faces a rear side of the vehicle on which the rearview display device is mounted.
A rearview display device comprising:
- a display unit;
- a dimming mirror that is disposed so as to be overlapped with a display surface of the display unit, and reflects, as a mirror image, a periphery of a vehicle;
- an image capturing unit that generates a video by capturing the periphery of the vehicle;
- and
- a video processing unit that converts the video to generate a conversion video in which a size of the video is reduced, and causes the conversion video and the mirror image to be separately displayed in a display region by causing the conversion video to be displayed in a first region of the display region of the display unit and causing a dark video to be displayed in a second region of the display region except for the first region,
- wherein when causing the display unit to display the conversion video and the mirror image, the video processing unit outputs a message indicating that display for abnormality confirmation including video inversion confirmation is currently performed, and
- the display surface of the display unit faces a rear side of the vehicle on which the rearview display device is mounted.
A rearview display method performed by a rearview display device that includes a display unit, and a dimming mirror which is disposed so as to be overlapped with a display surface of the display unit and reflects, as a mirror image, a periphery of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- generating a video by capturing the periphery of the vehicle;
- and
- generating a conversion video having an angle of view identical with an angle of view of the mirror image by converting the video, and causing the display unit to display the conversion video such that the conversion video is superimposed on the mirror image,
- wherein in said causing the display unit to display the conversion video such that the conversion video is superimposed on the mirror image, a message indicating that display for abnormality confirmation including video inversion confirmation is currently performed is outputted, and
- the display surface of the display unit faces a rear side of the vehicle on which the rearview display device is mounted.

- generating a video by capturing the periphery of the vehicle;
- and
- converting the video to generate a conversion video in which a size of the video is reduced, and causing the conversion video and the mirror image to be separately displayed in a display region by causing the conversion video to be displayed in a first region of the display region of the display unit and causing a dark video to be displayed in a second region of the display region except for the first region,
- wherein when causing the display unit to display the conversion video and the mirror image, the video processing unit outputs a message indicating that display for abnormality confirmation including video inversion confirmation is currently performed, and
- the display surface of the display unit faces a rear side of the vehicle on which the rearview display device is mounted.
