DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS, DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND CAMERA MONITORING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A display control apparatus configured to be connected to an imaging apparatus, the display control apparatus comprising:
- an obtaining unit configured to obtain image data captured by the imaging apparatus by capturing an image behind a vehicle;
an edge image generation unit configured to generate edge image data that clearly indicates a peripheral portion of the image data to be viewed via an electric mirror that is placed at a rear-view mirror position inside the vehicle;
a display image generation unit configured to generate display image data by superimposing the generated edge image data onto the obtained image data; and
a control unit configured to control the generated display image data to be viewed via the electric mirror.
