Image display device, image display method, and computer readable medium

An image display device comprising:

• processing circuitry to:
• acquire information of an object around a moving body;
• determine that shielding is not allowed for the object when an acquired importance of the object is higher than a threshold value;
• and
• display image data indicating the object by superimposing it on a scenery around the moving body regardless of a position of the object, with respect to the object for which it is determined that the shielding is not allowed, wherein
• when the object is a moving object, the importance is calculated from a relative distance which is a distance from the moving body to the object and a relative speed which is a speed at which the object approaches the moving body.

An image display method comprising:

• acquiring information of an object around a moving body, by a processor;
• determining that shielding is not allowed for the object when an acquired importance of the object is higher than a threshold value;
• and
• displaying image data indicating the object by superimposing it on a scenery around the moving body regardless of a position of the object, with respect to the object for which it is determined that the shielding is not allowed, wherein
• when the object is a moving object, the importance is calculated from a relative distance which is a distance from the moving body to the object and a relative speed which is a speed at which the object approaches the moving body.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an image display program to cause a computer to execute:

• an object information acquisition process of acquiring information of an object around a moving body;
• a shielding determination process of determining that shielding is not allowed for the object when an importance of the object acquired by the object information acquisition process is higher than a threshold value;
• and
• a display control process of displaying image data indicating the object by superimposing it on a scenery around the moving body regardless of a position of the object, with respect to the object for which it is determined by the shielding determination process that the shielding is not allowed, wherein
• when the object is a moving object, the importance is calculated from a relative distance which is a distance from the moving body to the object and a relative speed which is a speed at which the object approaches the moving body.
