Patent ID: 8594974

Claim:
A viewpoint location computation device that computes a viewpoint location of a driver of a vehicle, comprising: first estimated viewpoint location computation means for computing a first estimated viewpoint location of the driver based on an angle of a first vehicle-mounted mirror provided in the vehicle and a seating center location of the driver's seat of the vehicle; second estimated viewpoint location computation means for computing a second estimated viewpoint location of the driver based on an angle of a second vehicle-mounted mirror provided in the vehicle and the seating center location of the driver's seat of the vehicle; third estimated viewpoint location computation means for computing a third estimated viewpoint location of the driver based on an angle of a third vehicle-mounted mirror provided in the vehicle and the seating center location of the driver's seat of the vehicle, identical condition determination means for determining whether the first, second, and third estimated viewpoint locations are identical; and viewpoint location computation means for computing the first, second, or third estimated viewpoint location as the viewpoint location of the driver when the identical condition determination means determines that all of the estimated viewpoint locations are identical, wherein when the identical condition determination means determines that none of the first, second, and third estimated viewpoint locations are identical, the viewpoint location computation means computes the viewpoint location of the driver based on the first, second, and third estimated viewpoint locations as the viewpoint location.
