Image conversion device
First Claim
1. An image conversion device connected to multiple image detection mechanisms and having multiple input buffers for each of the multiple image detection mechanisms, wherein each image detection mechanism detects and generates field image data of the surroundings, wherein each image detection mechanism has one or more input buffers, each input buffer having an input buffer input side which stores said field image data in 1 field units, and an input buffer output side which stores said field image data moved from the input buffer input side when image storage operation on the input buffer input side has been completed, and each image detection mechanism has one or more output buffers, each output buffer having an output buffer input side, which stores the data of multiple field images moved from the input buffer output side after said field image data has undergone conversion processing, and an output buffer output side which stores the converted field image data moved from said output buffer input side when storage operation on the output buffer input side has been completed, and a pattern memory in which corresponding relationships of the memory addresses of said respective input buffer output sides and the memory addresses of said output buffer inputs sides are stored, and an image conversion mechanism, which reads and performs conversion processing in 1 field units on said field image data stored in said input buffer output sides according to the relationships stored in said pattern memory, after said storage operation of said field image data in said input buffer output side has been completed and then writes said converted field image data to the output buffer input side.

Abstract
An image conversion device connected to multiple image detection mechanisms generating field image data of the surroundings and having multiple input buffers for each of the multiple image detection mechanisms, which, in parallel, stores, moves, performs conversion processing and displays said field image data in 1 field units in accordance with a display template in pattern memory, thereby reducing the total delay time from field image generation to display to the driver.
