Display control apparatus, display control method, and camera monitoring system
First Claim
1. A display control apparatus connected to an imaging apparatus installed in a vehicle, the display control apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain image data obtained by the imaging apparatus capturing an image of a portion on a rear side of the vehicle;
a specifying unit configured to specify, as a compression region, a pixel region which does not include image elements indicating straight objects extending along a traveling direction of the vehicle in a pixel region in a lower portion in the image data;
a generation unit configured to generate display image data of a predetermined display size by compressing, in the traveling direction of the vehicle, the specified compression region in the image data, and not compressing image elements indicating straight objects extending along the traveling direction; and
a controller configured to perform control so that the generated display image data is visually displayed through an electronic mirror disposed as a rearview mirror of the vehicle.
