VEHICLE PERIPHERAL OBSTACLE NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A vehicle peripheral obstacle notification system comprising:
- a surrounding image input part that acquires images of the surroundings of a vehicle and outputs the acquired surrounding images;
a composite image formation part that extracts composite image formation areas from the surrounding images acquired by the surrounding image input part and composes a composite bird'"'"'s-eye image as an output resulting from the extracted composite image formation areas; and
an output part that presents a user with the resulting output,wherein the vehicle peripheral obstacle notification system further includes;
an object detection part that performs the process of detecting a moving obstacle by use of the surrounding images;
an area determination part that determines whether the position at which the moving obstacle is detected by the object detection part is inside or outside the composite image formation areas; and
an image information extraction part which, if the area determination part determines that the detected position of the moving obstacle is outside the composite image formation areas, then extracts information about the detected position of the moving obstacle and extracts an image of the detected moving obstacle for output to the composite image formation part for superimposition thereby onto the composite bird'"'"'s-eye image.

Abstract
A vehicle peripheral obstacle notification system, used on a construction machine, detects a moving obstacle, gives composite display of the detected moving obstacle, and notifies a user thereof, the moving obstacle being at a location not appearing in a composite bird'"'"'s-eye view obtained by onboard cameras acquiring images of the surroundings of the vehicle including an image immediately under the vehicle body. The system has a composite image formation part that extracts composite image formation areas from the surrounding images to compose a composite bird'"'"'s-eye image. A moving obstacle is detected using the surrounding images and it is decided whether the detected position of the moving obstacle is inside or outside the composite image formation areas. If the detected position is determined to be outside the composite image formation areas, information about the detected position is extracted and an image thereof is output for superimposition onto the composite bird'"'"'s-eye image.
