Image display method an apparatus for vehicle camera

Abstract

When an image shot by a rear-view camera mounted on a vehicle (1a) is changed into an image viewed from the location of a virtual viewpoint, and the obtained image is displayed on a screen, warning lines (51) and (52), for conveying a warning to a driver of the presence of an object within range of the rear of a vehicle, are displayed by being superimposed on the image obtained by the viewpoint conversion. Thus, when an image obtained by the viewpoint conversion of an image shot by a rear-view camera is displayed on a screen, a driver can be apprised not only of the presence of an obstacle within range of a local vehicle but also of the erroneous image interpretation provided by the image obtained by the viewpoint conversion.
