DRIVING-OPERATION ASSIST AND RECORDING MEDIUM
First Claim
1. A vehicle operation assist for a vehicle mounted with a camera, comprising:
- an operation-start detecting unit operable to detect that an actual driving operation corresponding to a predetermined driving operation are started automatically or through an input from a driver;
a circumferential-state imaging unit operable to generate a circumferential state image using an output image from the camera;
a synthetic-image generating unit operable to generate a synthetic image by using the circumferential-state image, said synthetic image including an assumed-movement pattern showing movement of the vehicle in case of performing the predetermined driving operation, said assumed-movement pattern including (i) a trace between a start position of the vehicle and an end position of the vehicle, and (ii) a synthetic image of the vehicle at the end position in case of performing the driving operations, wherein the synthetic-image generating unit changes a way of generating the synthetic image in accordance with the actual driving operations; and
a display unit operable to display the synthetic image.

Abstract
A vehicle-operation assist includes a circumferential-state imager for imaging a circumferential state of a vehicle with a camera and generating a circumferential-state image; a synthetic-image generator for generating a synthetic image by superimposing on the circumferential-state image, an assumed-movement pattern of the vehicle performing a predetermined series of driving operations; and a display for displaying the synthetic image. The circumferential-state imager has at least one camera and a camera parameter table for storing characteristics of the camera and generating the circumferential-state image on the basis of the camera characteristics.

6. A vehicle operation assist for a vehicle mounted with a camera, comprising:
-
an operation-start detecting unit operable to detects that an actual driving operation corresponding to a predetermined driving operation is started, automatically or through as input from a driver;
a circumferential-state imaging unit operable to generate a circumferential state image using an output image from the camera, wherein circumferential-state imaging unit changes a way of generating circumferential state image when the actual driving operations are started;
a synthetic-image generating unit operable to generate a synthetic image by using the circumferential state image, said synthetic image including an assumed-movement pattern showing movement of the vehicle in case of performing a predetermined driving operations, said assumed-movement pattern including (i) a trace between a start position of the vehicle and an end position of the vehicle, and (ii) a synthetic image of the vehicle at the end position in case of performing the driving operations; and
a display unit operable to display the synthetic image. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)
