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 2):
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; and a surrounding detecting unit that detects an environment around the vehicle, wherein in a case where the surrounding detecting unit detects a narrower road ahead of the vehicle, the changing unit changes the position of the virtual viewpoint such that the virtual viewpoint faces a center of the narrower road straightforwardly.
