First Claim
1. A vehicle control apparatus comprising:
- an acquirer configured to acquire a plurality of items of image information of images photographed by a plurality of image pickup units provided on a vehicle as an outside environment of the vehicle and whose image picked-up areas are partly overlapped with each other, a plurality of items including a first overlapped area included in one of two items of image information of images whose image picked-up areas are overlapped and a second overlapped area of another image information; and
a corrector configured to correct the other image information, if a position of the first overlapped area is closer to a center of a display area of the image information, so as to cause the luminance of the second overlapped area to match the luminance of the first overlapped area,wherein all lenses used in the plurality of image pickup units are the same, andwherein angles of view of all the image pickup units are the same.
