More Information
Summary:A visibility support system is provided which displays a wide field of view while absorbing camera installation errors. The visibility support system obtains a first conversion matrix H1 for projecting a captured image onto the ground, while a second conversion matrix H2 for projecting the captured image on a plane different from the ground (e.g. no-conversion unit matrix) is set. An extended high-angle view image is divided into a first region corresponding to the vehicle periphery and a second region corresponding to farther away from the vehicle, and a high-angle view image based on H1 is displayed in the first region, whereas an image based on a weight-added conversion matrix in which H1 and H2 are weight-added is displayed in the second region. Weight for the weight-addition is varied according to a distance from the border of the first and second regions to seamlessly join the images in both regions.
