Abstract

A vehicle periphery display device includes: an image acquisition unit that acquires a captured image from an imaging unit that images a periphery of a vehicle; and a control unit that causes a display unit to display a three-dimensional image representing the vehicle and a periphery of the vehicle based on the captured image, from a viewpoint which is located on a side opposite to a candidate of a target parking position with respect to a position of the vehicle and which faces a far side of the candidate of the target parking position, in a case where the target parking position for parking the vehicle is set.

Claims (18)

1. A vehicle periphery display device comprising:

at least one processor configured to implement:

an image acquisition unit that acquires a captured image from a camera that images a periphery of a vehicle; and

a control unit that causes a display unit to display a three-dimensional image representing the vehicle and a periphery of the vehicle based on the captured image, from a viewpoint which is located on a side opposite to a candidate of a target parking position with respect to a position of the vehicle and which faces a far side of the candidate of the target parking position, at the timing of setting the target parking position for parking the vehicle and the all of vehicle is outside the target parking position,

wherein the control unit causes the display unit to display the three-dimensional image from a viewpoint which is located rearward of the vehicle in a case where the vehicle is moving forward when the vehicle is parked at the target parking position by an automatic parking control, and causes the display unit to display the three-dimensional image from a viewpoint which is located in front of the vehicle in a case where the vehicle is moving backward when the vehicle is parked at the target parking position by the automatic parking control.

2. The vehicle periphery display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the control unit further causes the display unit to display a bird's-eye view image of the vehicle and the periphery thereof viewed from a viewpoint above the vehicle, and causes the display unit to display a display screen including the bird's-eye view image from a viewpoint which faces the vehicle in an obliquely backward direction and a captured image which is obtained by capturing an image in a traveling direction of the vehicle using a camera mounted on the vehicle, in a case where the automatic parking control is started.

3. The vehicle periphery display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the control unit causes the display unit to display the three-dimensional image with an entirety of the three-dimensional image rotated such that a front of the vehicle in the three-dimensional image is directed upward.

4. The vehicle periphery display device according to claim 3 , wherein

the control unit determines a rotation angle for rotating the entirety of the three-dimensional image based on a steering angle of a steering unit of the vehicle, and causes the display unit to display the three-dimensional image rotated according to the determined rotation angle.

5. The vehicle periphery display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the control unit causes the display unit to display the three-dimensional image at a viewing angle including an object approaching the vehicle or the target parking position, in a case where the object is detected.

6. The vehicle periphery display device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a setting unit that sets, according to a user's operation, a viewpoint which is located on the side opposite to the candidate of the target parking position with respect to the position of the vehicle and which faces the far side of the candidate of the target parking position, wherein

the control unit causes the display unit to display the three-dimensional image from the set viewpoint, in a case where the target parking position is set.

7. The vehicle periphery display device according to claim 1 , wherein

the control unit draws a frame of the target parking position on a captured image which is obtained by imaging the periphery of the vehicle using the camera, and causes the display unit to display an image in which the captured image in which the frame is drawn is mapped as a texture on a three-dimensional surface, as the three-dimensional image.
