Abstract:
1. A vehicle perimeter monitor comprising: an image capture device mounted on a vehicle for shooting an image of an outside of the vehicle; a controller including a detector and a generator, wherein the detector sets a detection line in a shot image, and detects a change amount of brightness of a picture cell on the detection line so that the detector detects movement of a moving object along with the detection line, and wherein the generator generates information display according to a detection result of the moving object; and a display for displaying the shot image and the information display, wherein the detector detects that the moving object is disposed at a position of the picture cell when the change amount of brightness of the picture cell on the detection line is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold, the detector monitors the position of the moving object temporally, and the detector detects a moving direction of the moving object based on a temporal change of the position, and the detector sets the detection line in accordance with a distortion of the shot image that is shot by the image capture device, the detector sets the detection line, which connects between a right side middle point and a left side middle point in the shot image, and the detection line is a distorted curved line.
