## Abstract

A vehicle periphery display device includes: an acquisition portion acquiring a captured image obtained by imaging a periphery of a vehicle with an imaging portion; and a display processing portion causing a display image including a vehicle image and a periphery image of the vehicle to be displayed on a display portion on the basis of the captured image. The display processing portion causes at least one of a contour guide line representing a contour of the vehicle image and having a first margin in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle image and a second margin in an advancing direction of the vehicle image, and a predicted course guide line that is a trajectory drawn by the contour guide line according to movement of the vehicle to be displayed in the display image, and changes at least one of the first and second margins when the vehicle is turned.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A vehicle periphery display device comprising:
at least one hardware processor configured to implement:
an acquisition portion that acquires a captured image obtained by imaging a periphery of a vehicle with an imaging portion; and
a display processing portion that causes a display image including a vehicle image of the vehicle and a periphery image of the vehicle to be displayed on a display portion on the basis of the captured image acquired by the acquisition portion, wherein
the display processing portion causes at least one of a contour guide line representing a contour of the vehicle image and having a first margin in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle image and a second margin in an advancing direction of the vehicle image, and a predicted course guide line that is a trajectory drawn by the contour guide line according to movement of the vehicle to be displayed in the display image, and changes at least one of the first margin and the second margin in a case where the vehicle is turned,
the display processing portion reduces at least one of the first margin and the second margin in a case where the vehicle is turned; compared with a case where the vehicle advances straight,
the display processing portion causes the contour guide line having the first margin based on a width of a side-view mirror or an electronic mirror of the vehicle image to be displayed in a case where the vehicle advances straight, and reduces the first margin by the width of the side-view mirror or the electronic mirror in a case where the vehicle is turned.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The vehicle periphery display device according to claim 1, wherein
the display processing portion causes the contour guide line having the second margin based on a predetermined margin in the advancing direction to be displayed in a case where the vehicle advances straight, and reduces the second margin by the predetermined margin in a case where the vehicle is turned.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The vehicle periphery display device according to claim 1, wherein,
in a case where the vehicle is turned, the display processing portion gradually reduces at least one of the first margin and the second margin with the passage of time.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The vehicle periphery display device according to claim 1, wherein,
in a case where an object present around the vehicle is detected by an obstacle sensor, the display processing portion changes at least one of the first margin and the second margin.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The vehicle periphery display device according to claim 1, wherein
the display processing portion changes a display mode of at least one of the contour guide line and the predicted course guide line according to whether or not an object present around the vehicle is detected by an obstacle sensor.

### Claim 6

A vehicle periphery display device comprising:
at least one hardware processor configured to implement:
an acquisition portion that acquires a captured image obtained by imaging a periphery of a vehicle with an imaging portion; and
a display processing portion that causes a display image including a vehicle image of the vehicle and a periphery image of the vehicle to be displayed on a display portion on the basis of the captured image acquired by the acquisition portion, wherein
the display processing portion causes at least one of a contour guide line representing a contour of the vehicle image and having a first margin in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle image and a second margin in an advancing direction of the vehicle image, and a predicted course guide line that is a trajectory drawn by the contour guide line according to movement of the vehicle to be displayed in the display image, and changes at least one of the first margin and the second margin in a case where the vehicle is turned, wherein,
in a case where the vehicle is turned, the display processing portion leaves, in the display image, at least one of the contour guide line and the predicted course guide line whose at least one of the first margin and the second margin has not been changed, and
the display processing portion makes a display mode of at least one of the contour guide line and the predicted course guide line whose at least one of the first margin and the second margin has not been changed different from a display mode of at least one of the contour guide line and the predicted course guide line whose at least one of the first margin and the second margin has been changed.

### Claim 7

A vehicle periphery display device comprising:
at least one hardware processor configured to implement:
an acquisition portion that acquires a captured image obtained by imaging a periphery of a vehicle with an imaging portion; and
a display processing portion that causes a display image including a vehicle image of the vehicle and a periphery image of the vehicle to be displayed on a display portion on the basis of the captured image acquired by the acquisition portion, wherein
the display processing portion causes at least one of a contour guide line representing a contour of the vehicle image and having a first margin in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle image and a second margin in an advancing direction of the vehicle image, and a predicted course guide line that is a trajectory drawn by the contour guide line according to movement of the vehicle to be displayed in the display image, and changes at least one of the first margin and the second margin in a case where the vehicle is turned, wherein,
in a case where the vehicle is turned, the display processing portion causes a stereoscopic image in which a three-dimensional space including the vehicle image and the periphery image is viewed from a predetermined viewpoint that is shifted toward an opposite side to a turning direction of the vehicle from a reference viewpoint located behind the vehicle image and at a center of the vehicle image in the vehicle width direction, to be displayed on the display portion as the display image.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The vehicle periphery display device according to claim 7, wherein,
in a case where an object present around the vehicle is detected by an obstacle sensor, the display processing portion moves the predetermined viewpoint.
