Vehicle driving assist device
First Claim
1. A vehicle driving assist device that displays an image captured from a surrounding area of a vehicle on an in-vehicle monitor, the device comprising:
- an imaging unit that is mounted on the vehicle and captures an image from a surrounding area of the vehicle;
an information acquisition unit that acquires speed information of the vehicle; and
an image processing unit that processes an image signal of the captured image output from the imaging unit,wherein the image processing unit has an image superimposition unit that superimposes an image, which relates to a braking range depending on the speed information of the vehicle acquired from the information acquisition unit, on the captured image, andwherein the image processing unit divides and displays the image relating to the braking range into a plurality of images in accordance with a degree of urgency of a brake operation to be required.

Abstract
Provided is a vehicle driving assist device, said device being capable of reliably and accurately warning any driver, regardless of the perception or skill thereof, to avoid collisions with obstacles. Said driving assist device, which uses a monitor in the vehicle to display images taken of the surroundings of the vehicle, has: an imaging unit that is mounted in the vehicle and takes the aforementioned images; an information-acquisition unit that acquires vehicle-speed information; and an image-processing unit that processes image signals configured by the images outputted from the imaging unit. Said image-processing unit contains an image-superimposition unit that superimposes, onto the taken images, images pertaining to the braking distance corresponding to the vehicle-speed information acquired by the information-acquisition unit.

14. A vehicle driving assist device that displays an image captured from a surrounding area of a vehicle on an in-vehicle monitor, the device comprising:
-
an imaging unit that is mounted on the vehicle and captures an image from a surrounding area of the vehicle; an information acquisition unit that acquires speed information of the vehicle; an image processing unit that processes an image signal of the captured image output from the imaging unit; and a storage unit that stores an average value of back-speed of the vehicle acquired from the information acquisition unit, wherein the image processing unit has an image superimposition unit that superimposes an image, which relates to a braking range depending on the speed information of the vehicle acquired from the information acquisition unit, on the captured image, and wherein the image processing unit compares the back-speed of the vehicle acquired from the information acquisition unit and a threshold, which is set based on the average value, and superimposes a warning image on the captured image when the back-speed exceeds the threshold.
