Abstract
A periphery monitoring apparatus includes: an image capturing unit configured to generate a captured image by capturing a periphery of a mobile body; and a controller configured to generate, from the captured image, a peripheral image representing a view from a virtual viewpoint that is set at a relative position to a current position of the mobile body depending on a movement of the mobile body, generate a display image in which a mobile body image representing a position of the mobile body is superimposed on the peripheral image, and display the mobile body image to fix a position of the mobile body image in the display image.
Claims9
A periphery monitoring apparatus comprising:
- an image capturing unit configured to generate a captured image by capturing a periphery of a mobile body;
- and
- a controller configured to
- generate, from the captured image, a peripheral image representing a view from a virtual viewpoint that is set at a relative position to a current position of the mobile body depending on a movement of the mobile body,
- generate a display image in which a mobile body image representing a position of the mobile body is superimposed on the peripheral image, and
- display the mobile body image to fix a position of the mobile body image in the display image.
A periphery monitoring method comprising:
- generating a captured image by capturing a periphery of a mobile body;
- generating, from the captured image, a peripheral image representing a view from a virtual viewpoint that is set at a relative position to a current position of the mobile body depending on a movement of the mobile body;
- generating a display image in which a mobile body image representing a position of the mobile body is superimposed on the peripheral image;
- and
- displaying the mobile body image to fix a position of the mobile body image in the display image.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium on which an executable program is recorded, the program comprising instructions which cause a computer to execute:
- generating a captured image by capturing a periphery of a mobile body (1);
- generating (S104), from the captured image, a peripheral image (72) representing a view from a virtual viewpoint (VV) that is set at a relative position (PT) to a current position of the mobile body depending on a movement of the mobile body;
- generating (S106) a display image (70) in which a mobile body image (74) representing a position of the mobile body is superimposed on the peripheral image (72);
- and
- displaying (S108) the mobile body image (74) to fix a position of the mobile body image in the display image (70).
