Driving assist apparatus
A driving assist apparatus includes: an image obtaining unit that obtains a peripheral image of a vehicle, which is captured by an image capturing device provided in the vehicle; a display device that is provided in the interior of the vehicle and displays the peripheral image; a display object generation unit that generates a display object including an index line serving as an index for assisting a driver who drives the vehicle; a vehicle state detection unit that detects at least one of behavior of the vehicle and a state of a driving operation; a display type determining unit that determines a transparent display type of the display object based on the detection result of the vehicle state detection unit; and a display control unit that superimposes and displays the display object on the peripheral image, which is displayed on the display device, based on the determined transparent display type.
1. A driving assist apparatus comprising:
an image obtaining unit that obtains a rear image of a vehicle, which is captured by an image capturing device provided in the vehicle;
a display device that is provided in the interior of the vehicle and displays the rear image;
a display object generation unit that generates, as an index for assisting a driver who drives the vehicle, a plurality of index lines including a backward expected line indicating a rear-end expected locus of the vehicle in accordance with a steering angle of the vehicle which is being reversed, and a vehicle-backward line extending in a front-rear direction of the vehicle from lateral sides of the vehicle;
a vehicle state detection unit that detects at least one of behavior of the vehicle and a state of a driving operation;
a display type determining unit that determines a transparent display value of the plurality of index lines based on the detection result of the vehicle state detection unit; and
a display control unit that superimposes and displays the plurality of index lines on the rear image, which is displayed on the display device, based on the determined transparent display value, wherein
the display type determining units displays only one of the backward expected line and the vehicle-backward line in a semi-transparent state.
2. The driving assist apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the vehicle state detection unit detects at least the behavior of the vehicle,
the behavior of the vehicle is defined based on the speed or acceleration of the vehicle, and
when the vehicle speed or the acceleration exceeds a setting value set in advance, the display type determining unit determines the transparent display value so as to increase transmittance of the display object.
3. The driving assist apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein
the vehicle state detection unit detects at least the state of the driving operation,
the state of the driving operation is defined based on the steering speed or steering acceleration of a steering,
when the steering speed or the steering acceleration exceeds a setting value set in advance, the display type determining unit determines the transparent display value so as to increase the transmittance of the display object.
4. The driving assist apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of index lines includes at least one of a side portion and a shadow portion.
5. A driving assist method comprising:
obtaining a rear image of a vehicle, which is captured by an image capturing device provided in the vehicle;
displaying the rear image on a display device that is provided in the interior of the vehicle;
generating, as an index for assisting a driver who drives the vehicle, a plurality of index lines including a backward expected line indicating a rear-end expected locus of the vehicle, in accordance with a steering angle of the vehicle which is being reversed, and a vehicle-backward line extending in a front-rear direction of the vehicle from lateral sides of the vehicle;
detecting at least one of behavior of the vehicle and a state of a driving operation;
determining a transparent display value of the plurality of index lines based on the detection result in the detecting step; and
superimposing and displaying the plurality of index lines on the rear image, which is displayed on the display device, based on the determined transparent display value, wherein
in the determining step, displaying only one of the backward expected line and the vehicle-backward line in the semi-transparent state.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein
in the detecting step, at least the behavior of the vehicle is detected,
the behavior of the vehicle is defined based on the speed or acceleration of the vehicle, and
in the determining step, when the vehicle speed or the acceleration exceeds a setting value set in advance, the transparent display value in which transmittance of the display object is increased is determined.
7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein
in the detecting step, at least the state of the driving operation is detected,
the state of the driving operation is defined based on the steering speed or steering acceleration of a steering,
in the determining step, when the steering speed or the steering acceleration exceeds a setting value set in advance, the transparent display value in which the transmittance of the display object is increased is determined.
8. The driving assist method according to claim 5 , wherein the plurality of index lines includes at least one of a side portion and a shadow portion.
