Abstract
An image display apparatus has: a synthesizing device (132) for synthesizing a rear image (111B) captured by a rear imaging device (11B) for imaging a rear area of the vehicle (1) and a first rear side image (111BL, 111BR) captured by a first rear side imaging device (11BL, 11BR) for imaging a first rear side area of the vehicle to generate a synthesized image (111C); and a displaying device (14) for displaying the synthesized image. The synthesizing device varies a proportion of an area of each of the rear image and the first rear side image to the synthesized image on the basis of a first information relating to a first turn indicator configured to operate to inform that the vehicle travels rightward or leftward.
Claims13
An image display apparatus comprising:
- a controller that is programmed to synthesize a rear image and a first rear side image to generate a synthesized image, wherein the rear image is captured by a rear imager that is configured to image a rear area located at the rear of a vehicle and the first rear side image is captured by a first rear side imager that is configured to image a first rear side area located at the rear and either one of the right and the left of the vehicle;
- and
- a display that is configured to display the synthesized image,
- the controller being programmed to vary a proportion of each of a rear image area and a first rear side image area to the synthesized image on the basis of a first information when the controller generates the synthesized image, wherein the rear image area is an area in which the rear image is displayed in the synthesized image, the first rear side image area is an area in which the first rear side image is displayed in the synthesized image and the first information is an information relating to a first turn indicator that is configured to operate to inform that the vehicle travels toward either one of the right and the left.
An image display apparatus comprising:
- a controller that is programmed to synthesize a rear image and a first rear side image to generate a synthesized image, wherein the rear image is captured by a rear imager that is configured to image a rear area located at the rear of a vehicle and the first rear side image is captured by a first rear side imager that is configured to image a first rear side area located at the rear and either one of the right and the left of the vehicle;
- and
- a display that is configured to display the synthesized image,
- the controller being programmed to vary an image angle of at least one of a first image part and a second image part on the basis of a first information when the controller generates the synthesized image, wherein the first image part is an image part that is one portion of the synthesized image and that corresponds to the rear image, the second image part is an image part that is one portion of the synthesized image and that corresponds to the first rear side image, and the first information is an information relating to a first turn indicator that is configured to operate to inform that the vehicle travels toward either one of the right and the left.
