Abstract

A display system includes a display processing device that controls display of an image, a posture detection device that detects a posture change amount of moving body, a correction processing device that sets a correction amount of display position of the image, a display determiner that determines whether or not to display the image, and a gradient change detector that detects a gradient change of a traveling path. The gradient change detector detects that a posture change of the moving body is started when an absolute value of the posture change amount is larger than a first threshold, and that the posture change is completed when the absolute value becomes smaller than a second threshold after start of the posture change. The display determiner determines not to display the image from start of the posture change until completion of the posture change.

Claims (58)

1. A display system comprising:

a display processing device that controls display of an image;

a gyroscope sensor that detects a posture change amount in a pitch direction of a moving body, the posture change amount is caused by a gradient change on a traveling path on which the moving body travels;

a correction processing device that sets a correction amount of a display position of the image based on the posture change amount by converting the posture change amount of the moving body into a number of pixels, and determines the correction amount that cancels the posture change amount indicated by the number of pixels;

a display determiner that determines whether or not to display the image; and

a gradient change detector that detects a gradient change of the traveling path based on the posture change amount and a variation amount in a predetermined unit time of the posture change amount, wherein.

the gradient change detector

detects that a posture change of the moving body is started due to the gradient change of the traveling path when an absolute value of the posture change amount in the pitch direction of the moving body becomes larger than a predetermined first threshold, and

detects that the posture change of the moving body is completed due to the gradient change of the traveling path when the absolute value of the variation amount in the pitch direction becomes smaller than a predetermined second threshold after start of the posture change of the moving body due to the gradient change of the traveling path, and

the display determiner determines not to display the image during a period from a time when the start of the posture change is detected by the gradient change detector to a time when completion of the posture change is detected, and

the display processing device controls display of the image based on a determination result of the display determiner and the correction amount.

2. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein

the correction processing device includes the display determiner.

3. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein

the display determiner determines to display the image when an absolute value of the posture change amount or the variation amount is less than a predetermined threshold.

4. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein

the display determiner determines not to display the image when an absolute value of the posture change amount in a yaw direction or a variation amount in a yaw direction of the moving body is equal to or more than the predetermined threshold.

5. The display system according to claim 3 , wherein

the display determiner determines to display the image when an absolute value of the posture change amount in a yaw direction or a variation amount in a yaw direction of the moving body is less than the predetermined threshold.

6. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein

the display determiner determines to display the image in a period other than the period from the time when the start of the posture change is detected by the gradient change detector to the time when the completion of the posture change is detected.

7. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein

the posture detection device calculates the posture change amount by using at least one or more pieces of information of angular velocity, angle, acceleration, or steering angle.

8. The display system according to claim 1 , further comprising a projection device that projects light representing the image.

9. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein

the moving body is a vehicle, and

the image is a virtual image displayed in front of a windshield of the vehicle.

10. The display system according to claim 2 , wherein

the display determiner determines not to display the image when an absolute value of the posture change amount or the variation amount is more than or equal to a predetermined threshold.

11. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein

the display determiner determines to display the image when an absolute value of the posture change amount or the variation amount is less than a predetermined threshold.

12. The display system according to claim 10 , wherein

the display determiner determines not to display the image when the absolute value of the posture change amount or the variation amount in a yaw direction of the moving body is equal to or more than the predetermined threshold.

13. The display system according to claim 11 , wherein

the display determiner determines to display the image when the absolute value of the posture change amount or the variation amount in a yaw direction of the moving body is less than the predetermined threshold.

14. The display system according to claim 2 , wherein

the display determiner determines to display the image in a period other than the period from the time when the start of the posture change is detected by the gradient change detector to the time when the completion of the posture change is detected.

15. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein

the display determiner determines to display the image in a period other than the period from the time when the start of the posture change is detected by the gradient change detector to the time when the completion of the posture change is detected.

16. The display system according to claim 10 , wherein

the display determiner determines to display the image in a period other than the period from the time when the start of the posture change is detected by the gradient change detector to the time when the completion of the posture change is detected.

17. The display system according to claim 1 , wherein

the gradient change detector detects the completion of the posture change of the moving body when the absolute value of the posture change amount in the pitch direction is larger than the first threshold and when the absolute value of the variation amount in the pitch direction is smaller than the second threshold.

18. A display system comprising:

a display processing device that controls display of an image;

a gyroscope sensor that detects a posture change amount in any one or more of a yaw direction, a pitch direction, a roll direction, a direction parallel to a roll axis, a direction parallel to a pitch axis, or a direction parallel to a yaw axis of a moving body, the posture change amount is caused by an angle change on a traveling path on which the moving body travels;

a correction processing device that sets a correction amount of a display position of the image based on the posture change amount by converting the posture change amount of the moving body into a number of pixels, and determines the correction amount that cancels the posture change amount indicated by the number of pixels;

a display determiner that determines not to display the image when an absolute value of the posture change amount or a variation amount in a predetermined unit time of the posture change amount is more than or equal to a predetermined threshold; and

an angle change detector that detects a change in an angle of a traveling path based on the posture change amount and the variation amount, wherein

the angle change detector

detects that a posture change of the moving body is started due to an angle change of the traveling path when the absolute value of the posture change amount is larger than a predetermined first threshold, and

detects that the posture change of the moving body is completed due to the angle change of the traveling path when the absolute value of the variation amount becomes smaller than a predetermined second threshold after start of the posture change of the moving body due to the angle change of the traveling path, and
