VIDEO DISPLAY APPARATUS AND VIDEO DISPLAY METHOD
First Claim
1. A video display apparatus for displaying on a monitor videos captured using a plurality of capturing sections, comprising:
- one or more reference position setting sections for setting a position as a video construction reference position;
one or more video construction reference position information adding sections for adding information regarding the video construction reference position, set by the reference position setting sections, to the videos captured by the plurality of capturing sections;
a video constructing section for combining the videos captured by the plurality of capturing sections so that the video construction reference positions added by the video construction reference position information adding sections overlap each other, and for thus generating a wide-range video;
a display area specifying section for specifying a display area, for display on the monitor, from the wide-range video generated by the video constructing section; and
a display video generating section for clipping a video of the display area, specified by the display area specifying section, from the wide-range video generated by the video constructing section and outputting the clipped video to the monitor for display.

Abstract
A video display apparatus for displaying on a monitor videos captured using capturing sections is provided. The capturing sections (101a-101n) capture the periphery of a vehicle. Reference position setting sections (102a-102n) set a focus monitor position as a video construction reference position. A steering angle detecting section (108) detects a steering angle caused by a driver'"'"'s operation. The video construction reference position is corrected based on the steering angle. After video construction reference position information adding sections (103a-103n) add video construction reference position information to the videos, a video constructing section (104) combines the videos of the capturing sections so that all of the video construction reference positions overlap each other. A display video generating section (106) clips a video based on a display area specified by a display area specifying section (105). A video display section (107) outputs the clipped video to the monitor for display.

8. A video display method of displaying on a monitor videos captured using a plurality of capturing sections, comprising:
-
a step of setting a position as a video construction reference position; a step of adding information regarding the video construction reference position to the videos captured by the plurality of capturing sections; a step of combining the videos captured by the plurality of capturing sections so that the added video construction reference positions overlap each other, and of thus generating a wide-range video; a step of specifying a display area, for display on the monitor, from the generated wide-range video; and a step of clipping a video of the specified display area from the wide-range video and outputting the clipped video to the monitor for display.
