First Claim
Patent Images
1. An external environment visualization apparatus, comprising:
- a multiple image capturing unit configured to capture multiple images regarding an external environment;
a distance measuring unit configured to measure a distance to at least one object included in an image when at least one image included in the multiple images is captured;
a distance reflecting unit configured to reflect the distance to an image whose distance is measured; and
a multiple image displaying unit configured to display the multiple images based on the image whose distance is reflected.

Abstract
The present invention adjusts images received from plural cameras that are oriented to plural directions and combines the images with distance information. Thereafter, the circumstantial environment is visualized based on a moving object using an augmented reality technique to provide to a user. Specifically, the present invention adjusts images in plural directions and adds the distance information to improve the accuracy and uses a visualization method that displays the images with respect to the moving object.
