1. A vehicle periphery video providing apparatus which provides, to a driver, a video obtained by shooting a periphery of a vehicle, comprising:
- a shooting device adapted-to shoot the periphery of the vehicle, the periphery becoming a blind spot to the driver by a structure of the vehicle;
a video processing device adapted to process the peripheral video of the vehicle, the video being shot by the shooting device;
a display device adapted to display the video processed by the video processing device; and
a distance detection device adapted to detect a distance to an obstruction present on a shooting direction side of the shooting device, wherein, based on information regarding an eye point position of the driver and information regarding an installed state of the display device, the video processing device performs coordinate conversion for the video shot by the shooting device so that a same video as in a case where a vehicle outside is visible from the eye point position of the driver in such a manner that an installed area of the display device becomes transparent can be displayed on the display device, sets a reference surface of the coordinate conversion at a position of the distance to the obstruction, the distance being detected by the distance detection device, and performs the coordinate conversion for the reference surface.

Abstract
A vehicle periphery video providing apparatus performs coordinate conversion for a video shot by a shooting device so that the same video as in a case where a vehicle outside is visible from an eye point position of a driver in such a manner that an installed area of a liquid crystal display becomes transparent can be displayed on the liquid crystal display.

10. A vehicle periphery video providing method which provides a video obtained by shooting a periphery of a vehicle to a driver by a display device, the method comprising:
-
shooting the periphery of the vehicle, the periphery becoming a blind spot to the driver by a structure of the vehicle;
detecting a distance to an obstruction present on a shooting direction side;
based on information regarding an eye point position of the driver and information regarding an installed state of the display device, performing coordinate conversion for the shot video so that a same video as in a case where a vehicle outside is visible from the eye point position of the driver in such a manner that an installed area of the display device becomes transparent can be displayed on the display device, setting a reference surface of the coordinate conversion at a position of the detected distance to the obstruction, and performing the coordinate conversion for the reference surface; and
displaying the video subjected to the coordinate conversion.

11. A vehicle periphery video providing apparatus which provides, to a driver, a video obtained by shooting a periphery of a vehicle, comprising:
-
a shooting means for shooting the periphery of the vehicle, the periphery becoming a blind spot to the driver by a structure of the vehicle;
a video processing means for processing the peripheral video of the vehicle, the video being shot by the shooting means;
a display means for displaying the video processed by the video processing means; and
a distance detection means for detecting a distance to an obstruction present on a shooting direction side of the shooting means, wherein, based on information regarding an eye point position of the driver and information regarding an installed state of the display means, the video processing means performs coordinate conversion for the video shot by the shooting means so that a same video as in a case where a vehicle outside is visible from the eye point position of the driver in such a manner that an installed area of the display means becomes transparent can be displayed on the display means, sets a reference surface of the coordinate conversion at a position of the distance to the obstruction, the distance being detected by the distance detection means, and performs the coordinate conversion for the reference surface.
