A display method is a display method performed by a display device that operates in conjunction with a mobile object, and includes: determining which one of first surrounding information, which is video showing a surrounding condition of the mobile object and is generated using two-dimensional information, and second surrounding information, which is video showing the surrounding condition of the mobile object and is generated using three-dimensional data, is to be displayed, based on a driving condition of the mobile object; and displaying the one of the first surrounding information and the second surrounding information that is determined to be displayed.

A surround view monitor apparatus includes two imaging devices mounted on a first vehicle section of an articulated vehicle to capture two respective images that include, within fields of view thereof, areas of view looking in a direction of a road surface area occupied by a second vehicle section in an unbent state, a control unit configured to select one of the two images as an image to be displayed on the road surface area in response to a bending angle between the first vehicle section and the second vehicle section, and configured to combine the two images to generate a synthesized image showing surroundings of the articulated vehicle, and a display monitor configured to display the synthesized image.

An information processing apparatus includes a status determining unit, a speed detecting unit, and a display controlling unit. The status determining unit determines a control status of control performed by an output control apparatus controlling an output direction of a driving force for a vehicle. The speed detecting unit detects a traveling speed of the vehicle. The display controlling unit allows a display apparatus to display one or more surrounding images included in a plurality of surrounding images and determined according to the control status determined by the status determining unit and the traveling speed detected by the speed detecting unit, the plurality of surrounding images being images which show surroundings of the vehicle based on images captured by one or more cameras capturing images of the surroundings of the vehicle and which differ from one another in at least one of a viewpoint and a display range.

An image acquisition unit acquires an image around a vehicle. A generator generates a bird's-eye image based on the acquired image. A road surface information acquisition unit acquires information on a road surface around the vehicle. A road surface determination unit determines whether a road surface that requires attention is found by referring to the acquired information on the road surface. When it is determined that a road surface that requires attention is found, an image processor superimposes an image showing the road surface that requires attention on the bird's-eye image.

It is an object of the present invention to allow a driver to appropriately view a travel lane and an adjacent lane behind a vehicle regardless of the shape of the travel lane. A lateral rear image control apparatus controls a lateral rear image display apparatus, and includes: a lane shape acquisition unit to acquire information on the shape of the travel lane of the subject vehicle; a viewing range setting unit to set, based on the information on the shape of the travel lane behind the subject vehicle, a region located in a particular direction relative to the subject vehicle at the lateral rear of the subject vehicle to a recommended viewing range; and a controller to control the lateral rear image display apparatus so that an image in the recommended viewing range is displayed to the driver.

A display control device includes a display configured to display a peripheral image indicating a peripheral situation of a host vehicle in a display range viewed from a predetermined virtual viewpoint and a display range determiner configured to determine a viewpoint position of the virtual viewpoint, an angle of view from the virtual viewpoint, or a gaze direction from the virtual viewpoint in accordance with a traveling condition of the host vehicle.

Disclosed is a method of providing driving information of a vehicle, including tracking and recognizing driver gaze of the vehicle, checking whether the driver gaze is directed toward a display of the vehicle, upon checking that the driver gaze is directed toward the display of the vehicle, checking coordinates of an actual position corresponding to a point on the display, toward which the driver gaze is directed, acquiring an image corresponding to the checked coordinates, and displaying the acquired image using an augmented reality provision unit included in the vehicle.

A parking assistance device includes an imager that captures an image of a surrounding of a vehicle, and a display that displays a guidance image for guiding the vehicle from a parking start position to a target parking position and displays a moving area in which the vehicle can move during a parking operation. An area and dimension of the moving area displayed on the display changes based on a change in a steering angle of the vehicle.

A periphery monitoring device according to an embodiment includes, as an example, a processor that generates a display image obtained by viewing, from a virtual viewpoint, a point of gaze in a virtual space including a model obtained by pasting a captured image obtained by imaging a surrounding area of a vehicle using an imaging unit provided on the vehicle to a three-dimensional plane around the vehicle, and including a three-dimensional vehicle image; outputs the display image to a display. The processor moves the point of gaze in conjunction with a movement of the virtual viewpoint in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle image when an instruction is made through an operation input unit to move the virtual viewpoint in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle image.

An information processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory that obtains projection information used for generating a three-dimensional overhead image by projecting a plurality of image data imaged by a plurality of imaging devices to a three-dimensional projection surface when the plurality of imaging devices are installed in a first mobile object, that inputs size information of a second mobile object that is different from the first mobile object, that corrects the projection information based on a size ratio between the first mobile object and the second mobile object, calculated based on the size information of the second mobile object, and that stores corrected projection information in the second mobile object.
