Abstract

A display control device includes: an image acquisition unit configured to acquire captured image data from an imaging unit that captures an image of a peripheral area of a vehicle; a display control unit configured to cause image data based on the captured image data to be displayed on a screen; and an operation receiving unit configured to receive designation of an arbitrary point on the screen, in which the display control unit enlarges display on the screen about the designated point as a center of enlargement in a state where a display position of the designated point does not move on the screen when the operation receiving unit receives the designation of the arbitrary point on the screen.

Claims (32)

1. A display control device comprising:

at least one processor configured to implement:

an image acquisition unit configured to acquire captured image data from an imaging unit that captures an image of a peripheral area of a vehicle;

a display control unit configured to cause image data based on the captured image data to be displayed on a screen; and

an operation receiving unit configured to receive designation of an arbitrary point on the screen, wherein

the display control unit enlarges display on the screen about the designated arbitrary point as a center of enlargement in a state where a display position of the designated arbitrary point does not move on the screen when the operation receiving unit receives the designation of the arbitrary point on the screen,

wherein

the operation receiving unit receives designation of an arbitrary first point in first composite image data, and

the display control unit

enlarges display of the first composite image data, in response to the designation of the arbitrary first point, about the arbitrary first point included in the first composite image data as a center of enlargement in a state where a display position of the arbitrary first point does not move on the screen when the operation receiving unit receives the designation of the first point, and

also enlarges display of second composite image data, in response to the designation of the arbitrary first point, about a second point of the second composite image data, corresponding to the arbitrary first point, as a center of enlargement in a state where a display position of the second point does not move on the screen.

2. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the display control unit enlarges the display on the screen when the operation receiving unit receives a predetermined operation after receiving the designation of the arbitrary point on the screen.

3. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the image acquisition unit acquires a plurality of captured image data from a plurality of the imaging units, and

the display control unit enlarges the display on the screen on which composite image data generated based on the plurality of captured image data is displayed.

4. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the display control unit enlarges display of the captured image data about the designated arbitrary point on the captured image data displayed on the screen as a center of enlargement in a state where the display position of the designated arbitrary point does not move on the screen when the captured image data acquired from the imaging unit is displayed on the screen.

5. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein

the first composite image data is stereoscopic image data for stereoscopically displaying a vehicle shape model, and

when the operation receiving unit receives designation of an arbitrary point in the display of the second composite image data and when a point corresponding to the designated arbitrary point is hidden by the vehicle shape model in the display of the first composite image data, the display control unit moves a viewpoint in the display of the first composite image data to reveal the corresponding point.

6. The display control device of claim 1 , wherein

the display control unit gradually changes the display on the screen in a case of enlarging the display on the screen or canceling enlargement of the display on the screen.

7. A display control device comprising:

at least one processor configured to implement:

an image acquisition unit configured to acquire captured image data from an imaging unit that captures an image of a peripheral area of a vehicle;

a display control unit configured to cause image data based on the captured image data to be displayed on a screen; and

an operation receiving unit configured to receive designation of an arbitrary point on the screen, wherein

the display control unit enlarges display on the screen, in response to the designation of the arbitrary point, about the designated arbitrary point as a center of enlargement in a state where a display position of the designated arbitrary point does not move on the screen when the operation receiving unit receives the designation of the arbitrary point on the screen, wherein

the display control unit causes first image data based on the captured image data and second image data based on the captured image data and different from the first image data to be displayed on the screen,

the operation receiving unit receives designation of an arbitrary first point of the first image data, and

the display control unit enlarges display of the second image data, in response to the designation of the arbitrary first point, about a second point of the second image data, corresponding to the arbitrary first point, as a center of enlargement in a state where a display position of the second point does not move on the screen, and does not perform enlargement of display of the first image data.
