Abstract
A vehicle having no wiper, wherein an image displaying section is provided at a forward portion of a driving seat of the vehicle, a capturing means to capture road conditions of a vehicle forward direction is provided in front of the vehicle, an image display surface of the image displaying section is located in interior side of the vehicle, a captured image captured by the capturing means is displayed on the image display surface, and a driver drives while viewing the captured image displayed on the image display surface.
Claims16
A vehicle having no wiper, wherein an image displaying section is provided at a forward portion of a driving seat of said vehicle, a capturing means to capture road conditions of a vehicle forward direction is provided in front of said vehicle, an image display surface of said image displaying section is located in interior side of said vehicle, a captured image captured by said capturing means is displayed on said image display surface, and a driver drives while viewing said captured image displayed on said image display surface,
- wherein said capturing means comprises a first visible-light sensor and a first infrared-light sensor being a main light system, a second visible-light sensor and a second infrared-light sensor being a sub light system,
- wherein an image processing means performs an image synthesis process of said main light system and said sub light system and generates an image signal, and
- wherein said captured image is displayed on said image display surface based on said image signal.
A vehicle having no wiper, comprising:
- an image displaying section which comprises a shielding plate located at a vehicle forward side and a display unit located at a forward portion of a drive seat in interior side of said vehicle, and which is provided in a front portion of said vehicle;
- a sensor member which includes a first visible-light sensor and a first infrared-light sensor being a main light system and a second visible-light sensor and a second infrared-light sensor being a sub light system to capture road conditions of a vehicle forward direction, and which is arranged on said shielding plate;
- an image synthesis processing means to image-synthesis-process respective video data from said first visible-light sensor and said first infrared-light sensor and said second visible-light sensor and said second infrared-light sensor and to generate an image signal, and to display said captured image on said display unit based on said image signal;
- and
- a sensor abnormality detecting section to detect an abnormality of said main light system,
- wherein said sensor member has a construction to cover above of said first visible-light sensor and said first infrared-light sensor and said second visible-light sensor and said second infrared-light sensor,
- wherein a driver drives while viewing said captured image displayed on said display unit, and
- wherein said main light system is ordinary operated, and said main light system is switched to said sub light system when an abnormality of said main light system is detected by said sensor abnormality detecting section.
