Abstract

An on-vehicle display control device includes a video image acquiring unit configured to acquire left and right side rear view video images captured by imaging units configured to capture the left and right side rear view video images of a vehicle, a turning information acquiring unit configured to acquire turning information on the vehicle, and a video image processing unit configured to display, on determining that the vehicle is going to make a turn based on the turning information, the side rear view video image for a turning direction in an area away from a center of the vehicle in a side monitor provided in a turning direction, and the side rear view video image for a direction opposite to the turning direction in an area close to the center of the vehicle in the side monitor provided in the turning direction.

Claims (23)

1. An on-vehicle display control device comprising:

a video image acquiring unit configured to acquire left and right side rear view video images captured by imaging units configured to capture the left and right side rear view video images of a vehicle;

a turning information acquiring unit configured to acquire turning information on the vehicle; and

a video image processing unit configured to display, on determining that the vehicle is going to make a turn based on the turning information, a synthesized video image such that the side rear view video image for a turning direction is displayed in an area away from a center of the vehicle in a side monitor arranged in a turning direction among left and right side monitors provided in the vehicle, and the side rear view video image for a direction opposite to the turning direction is displayed in an area close to the center of the vehicle in the side monitor arranged in the turning direction.

2. The on-vehicle display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the video image processing unit is further configured to display, in the side monitor arranged in the turning direction, a synthesized video image in which a video image close to the vehicle in the side rear view video image for the turning direction and a video image away from the vehicle in the side rear view video image for the direction opposite to the turning direction are synthesized.

3. The on-vehicle display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the video image processing unit is further configured to display, in the side monitor arranged in the turning direction, a synthesized video image in which a video image close to the vehicle in the side rear view video image for the turning direction and a video image close to the vehicle in the side rear view video image for the direction opposite to the turning direction are synthesized.

4. The on-vehicle display control device according to claim 3 , wherein the video image processing unit is further configured to display, when the vehicle moves backward, a video image for a lower side of the vehicle in the side rear view video image.

5. The on-vehicle display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the video image processing unit is further configured to change, in accordance with a rotation angle of the turning direction, a range to be clipped of the side rear view video image for the direction opposite to the turning direction to be displayed on the side monitor arranged in the turning direction.

6. The on-vehicle display control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the side monitor is constituted by a laterally-long monitor configured to display the left side rear view video image in a left portion thereof and the right side rear view video image in a right portion thereof, and

the video image processing unit is further configured to display, on determining that the vehicle is making a turn based on the turning information, a synthesized video image in which the side rear view video image for the turning direction and the side rear view video image for the direction opposite to the turning direction are synthesized adjacently.

7. An on-vehicle display system comprising:

the on-vehicle display control device according to claim 1 ;

the imaging units; and

the side monitors.

8. An on-vehicle display control method comprising:

acquiring left and right side rear view video images captured by imaging units configured to capture the left and right side rear view video images of a vehicle;

acquiring turning information on the vehicle; and

displaying, on determining that the vehicle is going to make a turn based on the turning information, a synthesized video image such that the side rear view video image for a turning direction is displayed in an area away from a center of the vehicle in a side monitor arranged in the turning direction among left and right side monitors provided in the vehicle, and the side rear view video image for a direction opposite to the turning direction is displayed in an area close to the center of the vehicle in the side monitor arranged in the turning direction.

9. A non-transitory storage medium that stores a program that causes a computer operating as an on-vehicle display device to execute a process comprising:

acquiring left and right side rear view video images captured by imaging units configured to capture the left and right side rear view video images of a vehicle;

acquiring turning information on the vehicle; and

displaying, on determining that the vehicle is going to make a turn based on the turning information, a synthesized video image such that the side rear view video image for a turning direction is displayed in an area away from a center of the vehicle in a side monitor arranged in the turning direction among left and right side monitors provided in the vehicle, and the side rear view video image for a direction opposite to the turning direction is displayed in an area close to the center of the vehicle in the side monitor arranged in the turning direction.
