DRIVING-OPERATION ASSIST AND RECORDING MEDIUM
First Claim
1. A vehicle operation assist for a vehicle mounted with a camera, comprising:
- a circumferential-state imaging unit operable to generate a circumferential state image using an output image from the camera;
a position inputting unit for inputting a position from a driver;
an assumed-movement pattern acquiring unit operable to acquire an assumed-movement pattern in accordance with the position from a driver, said assumed-movement pattern showing movement of the vehicle in case of performing a predetermined driving operation, said assumed-movement pattern including (i) a trace between a start position of the vehicle and an end position of the vehicle, and (ii) a synthetic image of the vehicle at the end position in case of performing the driving operations;
a synthetic-image generating unit operable to generate a synthetic image by using the circumferential-state image and the assumed-movement patterns; and
a display unit operable to display the synthetic image.

Abstract
A vehicle-operation assist includes a circumferential-state imager for imaging a circumferential state of a vehicle with a camera and generating a circumferential-state image; a synthetic-image generator for generating a synthetic image by superimposing on the circumferential-state image, an assumed-movement pattern of the vehicle performing a predetermined series of driving operations; and a display for displaying the synthetic image. The circumferential-state imager has at least one camera and a camera parameter table for storing characteristics of the camera and generating the circumferential-state image on the basis of the camera characteristics.
