A display control apparatus comprising: a display control unit configured to display an image such that the image is superimposed on a visual field region of a driver of a vehicle; and a detection unit configured to analyze a line of sight of the driver and detect a viewpoint of the driver in the visual field region that is obtained as a result of the analysis, wherein the display control unit subjects a predetermined region in the visual field region to display control, and based on a result of determination of overlapping between the predetermined region in the visual field region and the viewpoint of the driver detected by the detection unit, if the overlapping satisfies a condition, the display control unit changes a mode of the display of the image.

An image synthesizer apparatus for vehicle includes an image generator and an error detector. From multiple cameras arranged to a vehicle so that an imaging region of each camera partially overlaps with an imaging region of an adjacent camera, the image generator acquires images of areas allocated to the respective cameras, and synthesizes the acquired images to generate a synthetic image around the vehicle viewed from a viewpoint above the vehicle. The error detector detects errors in the cameras. When the error detector detects a faulty camera in the cameras, the image generator acquires, from the image captured by the camera adjacent to the faulty camera, an overlap portion overlapping with the image captured by the faulty camera, uses the overlap portion to generate the synthetic image, and applies image reinforcement to the overlap portion.

A main controller of an HUD is configured to: acquire road surface information of a front road surface based on a plurality of measurement points on the front road surface, which is detected by a road surface detection sensor mounted on a vehicle with the HUD and is positioned forward of a traveling direction of the vehicle; calculate, by using the road surface information, a virtual image plane position on a virtual image plane where a virtual image of a display object is displayed, which is a display position of the virtual image for displaying the virtual image along the front road surface; and calculate a display position of a display surface within an image display device, which corresponds to the virtual image plane position, so as to output, to the image display device, a control signal for displaying the display object on the display position of the display surface.

A display of roadside objects on a vehicle windshield within a primary field of view of a driver, with an indication of a level of importance of the object is provided. A method includes: detecting, by a computer device, a roadside object in a vehicle driver's peripheral view; analyzing, by the computer device, the detected roadside object to assign a level of importance to the object based on predefined levels of importance; and displaying, by the computer device, the roadside object as a semi-transparent object in a display area of a windshield of the vehicle with an indication of the level of importance of the object.

An image processing apparatus is provided, the image processing apparatus including: a vehicle image information acquiring unit that acquires vehicle image information including at least one captured image captured by a vehicle, and an image-capturing position of the captured image; a road image acquiring unit that acquires at least one road image corresponding to the image-capturing position from a plurality of road images captured by a vehicle; and a superimposed image generating unit that generates a superimposed image in which the road image is superimposed on the captured image.

An information distribution system obtains event information such as image data about an event in the past or future using a collection server or a creation server, and stores the obtained event information in a storage server. The event information such as the image data is obtained with association to a location of the event and stored. The vehicle includes an image display system. An occupant wears a wearable device which is a display unit. When the location of an event is within the field of view of the occupant, the event image is displayed through the wearable device based on the event information such as the image data.

A display method, display device, and display system including a virtual image display device are configured to detect at least another moving object and an object including a fixed object and to display an image in the vicinity of, or in a position superimposed on, the detected object. When another moving object is detected, the virtual image display device regards this moving object as a target to be watched and displays an exaggerating image corresponding to a surrounding object existing near the target to be watched, in a position superimposed on the surrounding object.

A display assembly, a displaying method thereof and a vehicle having the same are provided. The display assembly includes a vehicle display screen (1) and an image processing apparatus (2). The image processing apparatus (2) is configured to synthesize landscape images of a same route captured at different environmental visibilities, so as to enable the vehicle display screen (1) to display an actual landscape with a higher environmental visibility than a current environment visibility when the vehicle runs on the same route. With the image processing apparatus (2), the vehicle display screen (1) of the display assembly can display the actual landscape with a high environmental visibility at the current low environmental visibility, such that a driver can more clearly understand the actual road conditions and traffic situations along the same route at the current low environmental visibility, thereby ensuring the vehicle to run safely at a low environmental visibility and improving the driving experience.

A head-up display apparatus prevents a driver from being confused when, for example, the number of overlaid images for alerting or emphasizing that are overlaid on an object increases due to the cutting-in of another vehicle, resulting in overlap between the overlaid images or between an overlaid image and another object resulting in an unclear correspondence relationship between the overlaid images and objects. A display control unit has: an overlap determination unit that, if a first overlay image is overlaid on a first object and a second object as a cut-in object is detected, determines the presence or absence of overlap between the overlaid images or the like; and a visibility control unit that, if the overlap occurs, makes the visibility of the first overlay image overlaid on the first object lower than the visibility of the second overlay image overlaid on the second object.

A method of displaying a three-dimensional (3D) object includes acquiring a driving image from a single camera, classifying line marks including a road surface into one or more groups based on a change in a curvature of a line of the road surface, estimating a pitch angle corresponding to an angle of inclination between the road surface and the single camera for each of the one or more groups, generating 3D information of the road surface, and displaying an 3D object visually overlaid on the road surface based on the 3D information of the road surface.
