Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A vehicle surrounding-area monitoring apparatus that, when recognizing an obstacle, allows for easy determination of the positional relationship between the obstacle and scenery included in a video image of the area surrounding the vehicle, generates a narrow view-field region that is a part of the video image as a notable video image, and if an obstacle region that is a region of the recognized obstacle in the video image is located outside of the narrow view-field region and if the obstacle region is contained in an image region that is partially overlapping with the narrow view-field region and is a part of the video image, generates the image region as a notable obstacle image so as to generate a surrounding-area monitoring display image comprised of the notable video image and the notable obstacle image.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A vehicle surrounding-area monitoring apparatus comprising: a notable video image generator generating a narrow view-field region as a notable video image, the narrow view-field region being part of a video image of an area surrounding a vehicle obtained by an imaging unit; an obstacle recognizer recognizing an obstacle in the area surrounding the vehicle; an obstacle region calculator calculating an obstacle region, the obstacle region being a reg…
