Automobile periphery information display system
First Claim
1. An automobile periphery information display system, comprising:
- a sensor device configured to detect situations around an own vehicle;
a navigation device configured to specify a current position and a travel direction of the own vehicle and to read map data of a peripheral region including the current position from a map database;
an object determination unit configured to detect existence of a detection object based on sensor information detected by the sensor device and to determine a category of the detection object;
a position detection unit configured to obtain positional information of the detection object based on the sensor information with the own vehicle being as a reference;
an image generation unit configured to generate a map image in which an icon corresponding to the detection object is superimposed on the map data at a position indicated by the positional information regarding the detection object detected by the object determination unit;
a display device configured to display the map image; and
a communication device configured to obtain positional information and vehicle category information of another vehicle through vehicle-to-vehicle communication with the other vehicle,wherein, when the communication device receives the positional information and the vehicle category information, the image generation unit generates the map image in which the icon corresponding to the vehicle category information is superimposed on the map data at the position corresponding to the positional information.

Abstract
An automobile periphery information display system can display actual situations around an own vehicle as superimposing on a map, and detects situations around the own vehicle with a sensor device. A navigation device specifies a current position and a travel direction of the own vehicle and reads map data of a peripheral region including the current position from a map database. An object determination unit detects existence of a detection object based on sensor information detected by the sensor device and determines a category of the detection object. Meanwhile, a position detection unit obtains positional information of the detection object based on the sensor information with the own vehicle being as a reference. An image generation unit generates a map image in which an icon corresponding to the detection object is superimposed on the map data at a position indicated by the positional information detected by the object determination unit.
