Vehicle-mounted display device
View Patent ↗A vehicle-mounted display device includes an imaging unit, a traveling state determination unit, a hue discriminator, a color difference correction unit, and a display. The imaging unit captures an image of a surrounding of a vehicle. The traveling state determination unit determines whether the vehicle is traveling in a tunnel. The hue discriminator discriminates a hue of the image when the traveling state determination unit determines that the vehicle is traveling in a tunnel. The color difference correction unit corrects color difference information about the image in accordance with a discrimination result of the hue discriminator. The display displays the image corrected by the color difference correction unit.
1. A vehicle-mounted display device comprising:
an imaging unit that captures an image of a surrounding of a vehicle;
at least one processor;
at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory storing at least one program that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the vehicle-mounted display device to:
determine whether the vehicle is traveling in a tunnel,
detect a boundary area between an inside and an outside of the tunnel in the image when the vehicle is determined to be traveling in the tunnel,
discriminate a hue in the boundary area of the image, and
correct color difference information about the image in accordance with a discrimination result of the hue; and
a display that displays the image, of which the color difference information is corrected.
2. The vehicle-mounted display device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one program causes the vehicle-mounted display device to generate at least one piece of color difference correction data to be used to correct the color difference information about the image, and correct the color difference information about the image based on the at least one piece of color difference correction data.
3. The vehicle-mounted display device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one memory further stores at least one piece of color difference correction data to be used to correct the color difference information about the image, and
wherein the at least one program causes the vehicle-mounted display device to select a piece of color difference correction data to be used from the at least one piece of color difference correction data, and correct the color difference information about the image based on the piece of color difference correction data.
4. The vehicle-mounted display device according to claim 2 , wherein
the at least one piece of color difference correction data includes blue color difference correction data to be used to correct blue color difference information, and
based on the blue color difference correction data, the at least one program causes the vehicle-mounted display device not to convert the blue color difference information when the blue color difference information has an input value of a blue color difference greater than a first threshold, and to covert the blue color difference information to have an output value of the blue color difference greater than the input value of the blue color difference when the blue color difference information has the input value of the blue color difference less than or equal to the first threshold.
5. The vehicle-mounted display device according to claim 2 , wherein
the at least one piece of color difference correction data includes red color difference correction data to be used to correct red color difference information, and
based on the red color difference correction data, the at least one program causes the vehicle-mounted display device not to convert the red color difference information when the red color difference information has an input value of a red color difference less than a second threshold, and to covert the red color difference information to have an output value of the red color difference less than the input value of the red color difference when the red color difference information has the input value of the red color difference greater than or equal to the second threshold.
6. A vehicle-mounted display device comprising:
an imaging unit that captures an image of a surrounding of a vehicle;
at least one processor;
at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory storing at least one program that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the vehicle-mounted display device to:
determine whether the vehicle is traveling in a tunnel,
discriminate a hue in a boundary area between an inside and an outside of the tunnel in the image when the vehicle is determined to be traveling in the tunnel, and
correct color difference information about the image in accordance with a discrimination result of the hue; and
a display that displays the image, of which the color difference information is corrected,
wherein the at least one memory further stores at least one piece of color difference correction data to be used to correct the color difference information about the image, and
wherein the at least one program causes the vehicle-mounted display device to select a piece of color difference correction data to be used from the at least one piece of color difference correction data, and corrects the color difference information about the image based on the piece of color difference correction data.
7. A vehicle-mounted display device comprising:
an imaging unit that captures an image of a surrounding of a vehicle;
at least one processor;
at least one memory coupled to the at least one processor, the at least one memory storing at least one program that, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the vehicle-mounted display device to:
determine whether the vehicle is traveling in a tunnel,
detect a boundary area between an inside and an outside of the tunnel in the image when the vehicle is determined to be traveling in a tunnel,
discriminate a hue in the boundary area of the image,
generate at least one piece of color difference correction data, the at least one piece of color difference correction data includes at least one of blue color difference correction data to be used to correct blue color difference information and red color difference correction data to be used to correct red color difference information, and
correct color difference information about the image in accordance with a discrimination result of the hue and based on the at least one piece of color difference correction data; and
a display that displays the image, of which the color difference information is corrected,
wherein the at least one piece of color difference correction data includes blue color difference correction data to be used to correct blue color difference information, and the at least one program, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the vehicle-mounted display device to not convert the blue color difference information when the blue color difference information has an input value of a blue color difference greater than a first threshold, and to covert the blue color difference information to have an output value of the blue color difference greater than the input value of the blue color difference when the blue color difference information has the input value of the blue color difference less than or equal to the first threshold, or
wherein the at least one piece of color difference correction data includes red color difference correction data to be used to correct red color difference information, and the at least one program, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the vehicle-mounted display device to not convert the red color difference information when the red color difference information has an input value of a red color difference less than a second threshold, and to covert the red color difference information to have an output value of the red color difference less than the input value of the red color difference when the red color difference information has the input value of the red color difference greater than or equal to the second threshold.
