Vehicle periphery viewing apparatus
First Claim
1. A vehicle periphery viewing apparatus for capturing a vehicle-peripheral image, comprising:
- an image capturing device disposed on predetermined position;
a display device disposed within the vehicle; and
an image processing device performing an image division of the original image into a first image and a second image,wherein the image capturing device captures an original image from the predetermined position,wherein the display device displays the captured vehicle-peripheral image,wherein the image processing device performs a coordinate conversion into a plan view coordinate by using a geometrical correction for the first image,wherein the image processing device performs a predetermined image synthesis for the first image and the second image,wherein the image processing device displays a synthesized image on the display device,wherein the first image is a short distance image and the second image is a long distance image,wherein the predetermined image synthesis is to arrange the short distance and long distance images one above the other at a point of view from which an object is obliquely seen downward, andwherein the image processing device is operable to switch between a first mode for making a scale range at the boundary between the short distance image and the long distance image equal and a second mode for enlarging the short distance image.

Abstract
A vehicle periphery viewing apparatus for capturing a vehicle-peripheral image includes: an image capturing device disposed on predetermined position; a display device disposed within the vehicle; and an image processing device performing an image division of the original image into a first image and a second image. The image capturing device captures an original image from the predetermined position. The display device displays the captured vehicle-peripheral image. The image processing device performs a coordinate conversion into a plan view coordinate by using a geometrical correction for the first image. The image processing device performs a predetermined image synthesis for the first image and the second image. The image processing device displays a synthesized image on the display device.
