Abstract

According to one embodiment, a vehicle-mounted monitor display system includes a camera which captures an image of outside scenery which is a blind spot of a driver created by a pillar, a display which displays an image on the pillar, and an image processing device which generates a display image by cutting out the image captured by the camera in conformity with a display range of the pillar, and outputs the display image to the display. In the image processing device, a resolution of the display image is reduced in a state where a vehicle equipped therewith is moving.

Claims (22)

1. A vehicle-mounted monitor display system comprising:

a camera which captures an image of outside scenery including regions that become driver's blind spots by left and right pillars;

left and right displays which display images on the left and right pillars; and

an image processing device which generates left and right display images by cutting out regions which are the driver's blind spots from the image of outside scenery captured by the camera in conformity with a display range each of the left and right displays, and outputs the left and right display images to the left and right displays, wherein

the image processing device comprises filters which convert the resolution each of the left and right display images into a low resolution by changing cutoff frequency, when a vehicle equipped therewith is running at high speed, further reduces the resolution of the display image by reducing the cutoff frequency based on the vehicle speed information, and detects the lighting of either of the left and right turn signal lights based on the lighting output to the left and right turn signal lights of the vehicle, and at least displays the display image on the display on the side where the lighting is detected, and increases the resolution of the displayed image by increasing the cutoff frequency of the filter.

2. The monitor display system of claim 1 , wherein the filter selectively executes conversion of the resolution in accordance with conditions.

3. The monitor display system of claim 1 , wherein the filter converts a resolution of a periphery of the display image into a low resolution.

4. The monitor display system of claim 1 , wherein the image processing device controls a luminance of the display image based on a result of illuminance measurement of an outside of the vehicle.

5. A vehicle-mounted monitor display system comprising:

a camera which captures an image of outside scenery including regions that become driver's blind spots by left and right pillars;

a left and right displays which display images on the left and right pillars; and

an image processing device which generates left and right display images by cutting out regions which are the driver's blind spots from the image of outside scenery captured by the camera in conformity with a display range each of the left and right displays, and outputs the left and right display images to the left and right displays, wherein

the camera shifts a focus from a focus point in a state where a vehicle equipped therewith is moving, and returns the focus to the focus point during a period of detecting the lighting of either of left and right turn signal lights based on the lighting output to the left and right turn signal lights of the vehicle.

6. A display method of a vehicle-mounted monitor display system comprising:

capturing an image of outside scenery a including regions that become driver's blind spots by left and right pillars;

displaying the captured image on the left and right pillars; and

converting the resolution of the display image into a low resolution by changing cutoff frequency of filtering; wherein

when a vehicle equipped therewith is running at high speed, the filtering further reduces the resolution of the display image by reducing the cutoff frequency based on the vehicle speed information, and detects the lighting of either of the left and right turn signal lights based on the lighting output to the left and right turn signal lights of the vehicle, and at least displays the display image on the display on the side where the lighting is detected, and increases the resolution of the displayed image by increasing the cutoff frequency of filtering.

7. The display method of claim 6 , wherein the filtering selectively executes conversion of the resolution in accordance with conditions.

8. The display method of claim 6 , wherein the filtering converts a resolution of a periphery of the display image into a low resolution.

9. The display method of claim 6 , further comprising:

controlling the luminance of the display image based on a result of illuminance measurement of an outside of the vehicle.
