摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow for appropriate confirmation of an obstacle on the periphery of a vehicle, by suppressing movement of the line of sight of an operator.SOLUTION: An overhead video generating device has a video acquisition unit 42 for acquiring peripheral videos from multiple cameras for shooting the front, rear, left and right of the vehicle, an obstacle information acquisition unit 43 for acquiring the obstacle information of an obstacle detected on the periphery of the vehicle, a video generation unit 45 for generating an overhead video, just like a video of the vehicle viewed from above, by subjecting a peripheral video acquired by the video acquisition unit 42 to viewpoint conversion processing and then generating, in the central part of the generated overhead video, an overhead video by synthesizing a peripheral video from a camera corresponding to the obstacle detecting direction of the obstacle information acquisition unit 43, and a display control unit 48 for controlling the video generation unit 45 to display the generated overhead video on a display panel 31.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
