Abstract
An image display apparatus has: a first imaging device (11B) for imaging an area on the rear of a vehicle (1); a second imaging device (11BL, 11BR) for imaging an area on the rear and side of the vehicle; a synthesizing device (12) for generating a synthesized image in which a first image captured by the first imaging device and a second image captured by the second imaging device are adjacent to each other and a vanishing point of the first image in the synthesized image is different from a vanishing point of the second image in the synthesized image; and a displaying device (13) for displaying the synthesized image.
Claims8
An image display apparatus comprising:
- a first imager that is configured to image an area on the rear of a vehicle;
- a second imager that is configured to image an area on the rear and side of the vehicle;
- a controller that is programmed to generate a synthesized image in which a first image captured by the first imager and a second image captured by the second imager are adjacent to each other and a vanishing point of the first image in the synthesized image is different from a vanishing point of the second image in the synthesized image;
- and
- a display that is configured to display the synthesized image, wherein
- the controller is programmed to generate the synthesized image in which the vanishing point of the second image is set at a first position in the synthesized image in order to enhance a sense of depth of the second image more than a sense of depth of the first image, and
- the first position is higher than a second position in the synthesized image at which the vanishing point of the first image is set.
