Patent ID: 8792039

Claim:
An obstacle detection display device, comprising: an image pickup means having a lens; at least one of circuitry and a processor configured to effect: an image correcting means for executing geometrical correction upon a video signal having distortion, which is outputted by the image pickup means, and outputting a geometrically corrected video signal; an image recognition means for detecting an obstacle and object information thereof, by executing video processing on the geometrically corrected video signal outputted by the image correcting means, and outputting the object information; a display information producing means for receiving the object information and determining display information, the display information including a frame for use of emphasizing display, to be superimposed on the video signal having the distortion, and the display information including a display position indicating a position for displaying the frame for use of emphasizing display in the video signal having the distortion, and outputting the display information; and a display information superimposing means for superimposing the frame for use of emphasizing display, which is outputted by the display information producing means, on the video signal having the distortion, at the position designated by the display position from the display information producing means, to produce a superimposed video signal, and outputting the superimposed video signal; wherein the display information producing means executes a correction calculation upon the display information including the frame for use of emphasizing display, by taking into consideration a position error of the obstacle, between the geometrically corrected video signal and the video signal having the distortion when determining the display position of the frame for use of the emphasizing display, to be superimposed on the video signal having the distortion.
