Abstract

A display control device includes a display that is configured to display information, a detector that is configured to detect a partition line for partitioning a lane on a road on which a vehicle is present, and a display controller that is configured to cause the display to display the partition line detected by the detector variably, and the display controller is configured to change a length of the partition line which is displayed by the display on the basis of a detection distance of the detector.

Claims (24)

1. A display control device comprising:

a display that is configured to display information;

a detector that is configured to detect a partition line for partitioning a lane on a road on which a vehicle is present; and

a display controller that is configured to cause the display to display the partition line detected by the detector variably,

wherein the display controller is configured to change a length of the partition line which is displayed by the display on the basis of a detection distance of the detector,

wherein the detector includes a first sensor that is configured to detect the partition line from an image obtained by capturing the road and a second sensor that radiates electromagnetic waves to a periphery of the vehicle to detect another vehicle, and

in a case where the second sensor detects another vehicle in the second section, the display controller is configured to virtually extend the partition line detected by the first sensor in the first section up to the second section to superimpose the extended partition line on the road.

2. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller is configured to superimpose the partition line and the road and causes the display to display the superimposed image in a first section of the road that overlaps a detection region of the detector when seen from at least any one viewpoint, and cause the display to display the road without superimposing the partition line in a second section of the road that does not overlap the detection region when seen from the viewpoint.

3. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the display controller is configured to convert the partition line detected by the detector into a linear shape and cause the display to display the converted shape.

4. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case where the vehicle travels on a road which is not included in a map, the display controller is configured to cause the display to display the partition line and the road.

5. The display control device according to claim 1 , wherein the vehicle is a vehicle of which at least one of steering or a speed is controlled, and

in a case where the steering of the vehicle is controlled, the display controller is configured to cause the display to display the partition line.

6. A display control method comprising causing a computer mounted in a vehicle including a display that is configured to display information and a detector that is configured to detect a partition line for partitioning a lane on a road on which the vehicle is present to:

cause the display to display the partition line detected by the detector variably; and

change a length of the partition line which is displayed by the display on the basis of a detection distance of the detector,

wherein the detector includes a first sensor that is configured to detect the partition line from an image obtained by capturing the road and a second sensor that radiates electromagnetic waves to a periphery of the vehicle to detect another vehicle, and

the display control method further comprising causing the computer to:

in a case where the second sensor detects another vehicle in the second section, virtually extend the partition line detected by the first sensor in the first section up to the second section to superimpose the extended partition line on the road.

7. A computer readable non-transitory storage medium having a program stored therein, the program causing a computer mounted in a vehicle including a display that is configured to display information and a detector that is configured to detect a partition line for partitioning a lane on a road on which the vehicle is present to execute:

causing the display to display the partition line detected by the detector variably; and

changing a length of the partition line which is displayed by the display on the basis of a detection distance of the detector,

wherein the detector includes a first sensor that is configured to detect the partition line from an image obtained by capturing the road and a second sensor that radiates electromagnetic waves to a periphery of the vehicle to detect another vehicle, and

the program further causing the computer to execute:

in a case where the second sensor detects another vehicle in the second section, virtually extend the partition line detected by the first sensor in the first section up to the second section to superimpose the extended partition line on the road.
