Abstract

A periphery monitoring device includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire a captured image from an imaging unit that captures an image of a periphery of a vehicle and positional information regarding an attention area set around the vehicle; and a controller configured to superimpose and display an own vehicle image showing a position of the vehicle and an indicator indicating a position of the attention area based on the positional information on a peripheral image as a bird's-eye view image based on the captured image, and to perform display such that a display mode of the indicator changes over time.

Claims (21)

1. A periphery monitoring device comprising:

an acquisition unit configured to acquire a captured image from an imaging unit that captures an image of a periphery of a vehicle and positional information regarding an attention area including an object set around the vehicle; and

a controller configured to superimpose and display an own vehicle image showing a position of the vehicle, a position of the object and an indicator indicating a position of the attention area based on the positional information on a peripheral image as a bird's-eye view image based on the captured image, and to perform display such that a display mode of the indicator changes over time,

wherein the indicator and the object are each shown in a different position of the display and the indicator indicates a direction of approach of the object.

2. The periphery monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller displays a virtual three-dimensional object in the attention area as the indicator.

3. The periphery monitoring device according to claim 2 , wherein

the controller displays a target indicator indicating a target position to which the vehicle needs to move, and displays the virtual three-dimensional object at the target position when a distance between the target position and a display position of the own vehicle image becomes equal to or less than a predetermined value.

4. The periphery monitoring device according to claim 3 , wherein

the controller hides the virtual three-dimensional object when the own vehicle image reaches the target indicator.

5. The periphery monitoring device according to claim 2 , wherein

the controller changes a display mode of the virtual three-dimensional object over time.

6. The periphery monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein

the controller performs display such that a display mode of a contour line of the indicator changes over time.

7. The periphery monitoring device according to claim 6 , wherein

the controller performs display such that the contour line moves over time within a predetermined display area so as to indicate a direction in which the attention area moves.

8. The periphery monitoring device according to claim 6 , wherein

the controller displays the indicator in a portion that is able to be considered as a lowermost portion of a three-dimensional object when it is conceivable that the three-dimensional object exists in the attention area.

9. The periphery monitoring device according to claim 8 , wherein

the controller enlarges or reduces a size of the contour line of the indicator over time.

10. The periphery monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein the display mode of the indicator changes over time by animating the indicator.
