    摘要: A vehicle control device includes a parking space candidate detection unit configured to detect a parking space candidate that is a candidate for a parking space where an own vehicle is parked, using a vehicle peripheral image acquired from a camera; a leaving path detection unit configured to detect, using the vehicle peripheral image, a leaving path on which another vehicle that is parked in an other vehicle parking space located in a periphery of the parking space candidate leaves the other vehicle parking space; and a nuisance parking determination unit configured to perform nuisance parking determination including determining, for each detected parking space candidate, whether the parking space candidate overlaps with the detected leaving path, and thereby classifying the parking space candidate into a nuisance parking space that overlaps with the leaving path or a non-nuisance parking space that avoids overlapping with the leaving path.

    摘要: A driving support device wherein an own vehicle and a peripheral vehicle are symbolized, and relative dispositions are displayed in real time in a display unit visible to the driver, is obtained to facilitate a lane change by a driver. The driving support device includes a vehicle detecting unit, which detects peripheral vehicles positioned in a periphery of a vehicle, and an image generating unit, which generates an image representing positions of the vehicle and the peripheral vehicles from vehicle information obtained by the vehicle detecting unit. The image generating unit generates a driving support image including vehicle information representing relative dispositions of the vehicle and the peripheral vehicles using symbols indicating the vehicle and the peripheral vehicles. The image generating unit includes an image stacking unit, which generates original data of the driving support image, and an image control unit, which cuts a necessary portion from the original data.

    摘要: Provided are a vehicle periphery image display apparatus and a vehicle periphery image display method, which enable a driver to recognize a deviation between a parking frame and an own vehicle more easily at a time of a parking operation. The configuration includes: continuously inputting a periphery image of an own vehicle in a parking lot, which has been photographed by a plurality of photographing devices; storing the periphery image; compensating for, in the input periphery image, a lost image part with the stored periphery image to combine the compensated lost image part with the input periphery image; generating a top-view image seen from right above a top of the own vehicle based on the combined periphery image; generating a displayed image including the top-view image; and displaying the generated displayed image.

    摘要: An ECU generates an overhead image including a vehicle and a vehicle surrounding area, on the basis of a plurality of images taken by a plurality of cameras mounted on the vehicle. When a distance between an object existing in an overlapping portion of imaging areas of the plurality of cameras and the vehicle is within a threshold and the object exists in a traveling direction of the vehicle, the overlapping portion is divided into two pairs of a road surface image and an object image, and combination is performed by alpha blending with an α value for the object image being set to 1 and an α value for the road surface image being set to 0 for an area that is the object image in one of the two pairs and is the road surface image in the other of the two pairs, to generate the overhead image.

    摘要: A driving assistance apparatus includes processing circuit, and a communicator that communicates with the outside. The processing circuity executes the following processes: identifying a driver's driving state in a following vehicle on the basis of a rear image image containing the back of a subject vehicle; determining circumstances around the subject vehicle on the basis of images around the subject vehicle including the rear image; and controlling the autonomous driving of the subject vehicle on the basis of the driving state, identified in the identifying process, and the circumstances, determined in the determining process.
