Abstract:
A display assistance device detects the steering angle of a vehicle by using a steering angle sensor, and changes the position of a virtual viewpoint behind the host vehicle based on the detected steering angle. Then, the display assistance device converts images captured using a plurality of cameras such as a front camera and a rear camera into an overhead image of a downward view from the virtual viewpoint, and displays the converted overhead image on a display with a host vehicle icon superimposed on the overhead image, the host vehicle icon indicating the position of the vehicle.

Claim (Index 1):
A display assistance device that converts images captured by a plurality of imaging units installed on a vehicle into an overhead image of a downward view from a virtual viewpoint in air, and displays the overhead image on a displaying unit with a host vehicle icon superimposed on the overhead image, the host vehicle icon indicating a position of the vehicle, the display assistance device comprising:\n a changing unit that determines whether or not the vehicle is making a lane change from a travel lane in which the vehicle is traveling to a next lane next to the travel lane, and changes a position of the virtual viewpoint if determining that the vehicle is making the lane change, wherein in a case where the vehicle is traveling on a curve and making a lane change from an outside lane of the curve to an inside lane of the curve, the changing unit moves the position of the virtual viewpoint toward an inner side of the curve or turns a field of view from the virtual viewpoint toward the inner side of the curve, and in a case where the vehicle is traveling on the curve and making a lane change from the inside lane of the curve to the outside lane of the curve, the changing unit moves the position of the virtual viewpoint toward the inner side of the curve or turns the field of view from the virtual viewpoint toward an outer side of the curve.
