Problems solved by technology

[0007] Therefore, when obstacles such as road signs and pedestrians that are easy for the driver to see are not located on the imaginary plane 103, since these obstacles are projected on the pillars in a distorted state, the driver sometimes feels uncoordinated.

Embodiment Construction

[0032] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10 . FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of a driving assistance system 1 mounted on an automobile.

[0033] The driving support system 1 is mounted on a vehicle C (refer to FIG. 3 ), and as shown in FIG. camera 6, first to third position detection sensors 8a to 8c.

[0034] The driving support unit 2 has a control unit 10 , a nonvolatile main memory 11 , a ROM 12 , and a GPS receiving unit 13 . The control unit 10 is a CPU, MPU, ASIC, or the like, and performs main control of each process based on a driving support program stored in the ROM 12 . The main memory 11 temporarily stores calculation results of the control unit 10 .

[0035] The control unit 10 acquires satellite orbit information and time information received by the GPS receiving unit 13 from the GPS satellites, and calculates the absolute position of the vehicle by radio navigation. In addit...

Abstract

A driving support method and a driving support apparatus clearly project an image of a specific target object onto a pillar within a vehicle. The apparatus includes a camera installed on the vehicle that captures a dead-angle area created by the pillar and a projector projecting the image captured by the camera onto the interior surface of the pillar. The driving support unit also includes an image processor that sets a reference point Pc on an indicator on a road surface, sets a virtual plane VP passing through the reference point Pc, performs coordinate conversion for image data input from the camera onto the virtual plane VP, and outputs to a projector the image data for which the coordinate conversion has been performed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a driving assistance method and a driving assistance device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, as a device for supporting safe driving, an in-vehicle system has been developed in which an in-vehicle camera captures an area that becomes a driver's blind spot and displays it on a monitor or the like. As one of such systems, a system has been proposed in which an in-vehicle camera captures a blind spot area formed by a front pillar of a vehicle and displays the captured image inside the front pillar. The front pillars are left and right pillars for supporting the front window and the roof, and are located obliquely forward from the perspective of the driver sitting on the driver's seat. Although a part of the driver's field of vision is blocked, in order to ensure safety However, the given thickness must be ensured. [0003] As shown in FIG. 12 , the above-mentioned system has: a camera 100 installed on the vehicle b...
