Abstract

A parking assist apparatus includes: a peripheral image generation portion that generates an overhead image of a periphery viewed from above based on a captured image of a periphery of a vehicle; and a display image generation portion that generates a display image by superimposing a host vehicle image displaying a host vehicle on one of left and right sides in the overhead image and superimposing a target frame displaying a target of a movement destination of the vehicle on the other of the left and right sides in the overhead image in an assist mode of a forward parking or a backward exit.

Claims

1. A parking assist apparatus comprising:

a peripheral image generation portion that generates an overhead image of a periphery viewed from above based on a captured image of a periphery of a vehicle; and

a display image generation portion that generates a display image by superimposing a host vehicle image displaying a host vehicle on one of left and right sides in the overhead image and superimposing a target frame displaying a target of a movement destination of the vehicle on the other of the left and right sides in the overhead image in an assist mode of a forward parking or a backward exit.

2. The parking assist apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the display image generation portion superimposes the host vehicle image on a rear side in the overhead image in the assist mode of the forward parking and superimposes the host vehicle image on a front side in the overhead image in the assist mode of the backward exit.

3. The parking assist apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the display image generation portion superimposes the target frame on a left side in the overhead image in a case of the assist mode for assisting the forward parking or the backward exit with respect to the target frame on a left side of the vehicle and superimposes the target frame on a right side in the overhead image in a case of the assist mode for assisting the forward parking or the backward exit with respect to the target frame on a right side of the vehicle.

4. The parking assist apparatus according to claim 1,

wherein the display image generation portion superimposes the target frame on a preset set path in which the host vehicle image is set as a starting point.
