VEHICLE PERIPHERY MONITORING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A vehicle periphery monitoring system, comprising a blind spot camera imaging a blind spot area from a driver;
- an external monitor set at a position in a vehicle interior to be visually confirmed by the driver; and
a monitor display image data generating means generating monitor display image data based on a real camera image input from the blind spot camera, whereinthe monitor display image data generating meansconverts the real camera image from the blind spot camera, which includes a blind spot area into an image to be viewed from a driver'"'"'s viewpoint to generate a blind spot image, andperforms an image composition superimposing a semitransparent vehicle image which is obtained by making a vehicle viewed from the driver'"'"'s viewpoint semitransparent and a semitransparent tire image which is obtained by making a tire semitransparent and displays a behavior following a handle operation by being viewed from the driver'"'"'s viewpoint on the blind spot image to generate the monitor display image data expressing the blind spot through the semitransparent vehicle image and semitransparent tire image.

Abstract
A vehicle periphery monitoring system is provided, in which by matching a behavior of a semitransparent tire image with an operation from a driver'"'"'s viewpoint, a feeling of strangeness is reduced, an intuitive space perception is assisted and also a moving direction and a behavior of a vehicle can be easily perceived. In a side-view monitor system an image processing controller converts a real camera image including a blind spot into an image to be viewed from a driver'"'"'s viewpoint to generate a blind spot image, and superimposes a semitransparent vehicle image which is obtained by making a vehicle viewed from the driver'"'"'s viewpoint semitransparent and a semitransparent tire image which is obtained by making a tire semitransparent and displaying a behavior following a handle operation viewed from the driver'"'"'s viewpoint on the blind spot image.
