Driving support method and driving support device
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A driving support method for supporting a driving operation of a vehicle, comprising:
- inputting image data from an imaging device provided in the vehicle, and storing recorded data to serve as a reference in an image data storing means;
performing image processing for newly input image data based upon relative data related to the recorded data serving as a reference and the newly input image data, and generating new recorded data therefrom; and
generating driving support image data from the recorded data subjected to image processing, and outputting such driving support image data to a display means.

Abstract
A parking assist unit includes an image processor for setting a reference position of a vehicle, and an image data input unit for inputting image data from a camera provided on the vehicle. The image processor performs rotation processing on the image data to generate recorded data, based on a relative position with respect to the reference position of the vehicle during imaging. In addition, the recorded image data generated is accumulated in a corresponding pixel area within a synthesis memory area. Furthermore, the recorded image data accumulated is used to generate synthesized data, and such synthesized data is shown on a display.
