In-vehicle image display system and image processing method
First Claim
1. An in-vehicle image display system equipped in a vehicle to support driving of a driver, comprising:
- a side camera installed to a lateral portion of an exterior of the vehicle to face outwardly and configured to take an image of an area lateral to the vehicle by using a wide-angle lens;
a processing unit configured to correct a wide-angle image taken by the side camera to generate a planar image, and process the planar image to generate a processed image; and
a display unit configured to display the processed image transmitted from the processing unit on a screen,wherein the processing unit is operable to set a position of the vehicle at a predetermined setup vehicle speed, as a reference position,wherein the processing unit is operable to set a position which is reached by a part of a contour of the vehicle located at a farthermost position with respect to a center of the vehicle in the reference position as a reachable position, in a position of vehicle where the vehicle has stopped by being decelerated from the reference position under a maximum steering angle and a predetermined braking force, andwherein the processing unit is operable to execute a secondary processing of the planar image so as not to include an image region located outward from the reachable position in a vehicle-width direction, in order to generate the processed image.

4. An image processing method for an in-vehicle image display system for supporting driving of a driver, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a wide-angle image taken by a side camera configured to take an image of an area lateral to a vehicle, through a wide-angle lens of the side camera; correcting the wide-angle image to generate a planar image, and processing the planar image to generate a processed image; setting a position of the vehicle at a predetermined setup vehicle speed, as a reference position; setting a position which is reached by a part of a contour of the vehicle located at a farthermost position with respect to a center of the vehicle in the reference position as a reachable position, in a position of vehicle where the vehicle has stopped by being decelerated from the reference position under a maximum steering angle and a predetermined braking force; and executing a secondary processing of the planar image so as not to include an image region located outward from the reachable position in a vehicle-width direction, in order to generate the processed image.
