DRIVING SUPPORT APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A driving support apparatus comprising:
- a display device;
a camera mounted on a vehicle;
a vanishing line drawing processing unit that receives image information from the camera and generates a vanishing line by forming a set of vanishing points existing on a plane including the optical axis of the camera, the optical axis of the camera and the running direction of the vehicle being in parallel with each other, a vanishing point being defined as a virtual intersection point located at infinity of the optical axis of the camera and the running direction of the vehicle; and
an image processing unit that converts the image information of the camera and the vanishing line into video signals, superimposes one of the video signals on the other and outputs the video signals to the display device.
