    摘要: A method is provided for determining a position for a camera on an outer skin of a vehicle, the position being determined such that the camera can detect an object at a visual reference point behind the vehicle. The method identifies a lateral surface which, in an initial position, is parallel to an XZ plane of the vehicle at a lateral distance from a central x-axis of the vehicle, the lateral distance depending on a maximum width of the vehicle. The method identifies an axis of rotation for the lateral surface which is parallel to a z-axis of the vehicle and which extends through the visual reference point. The method determines a point of intersection of the lateral surface rotated, starting from the initial position, about the axis of rotation with the outer skin of the vehicle. The method determines the position for the camera based on the point of intersection.

    摘要: An electronic mirror system comprising: an imaging portion that captures an image around a vehicle, and outputs the image to an image display control apparatus; and a display portion that displays an image received from the image display control apparatus. The image display control apparatus comprising: a shift amount calculation portion that calculates a shift amount of an object image that shows an object within an image; a following speed determination portion that determines a following speed of an additional image for the object image; an elapsed time calculation portion that calculates the elapsed time; a shift amount determination portion that determines a shift amount of the additional image; an additional image synthesis portion that synthesizes the additional image to the object image; and a display controller that allows the display portion to display a synthetic image.
