Abstract:
An image processing unit generates a corrected bird's-eye-view image that is a captured bird's-eye-view image and that is a bird's-eye-view image from which irradiation light present in the captured image has been removed. The corrected bird's-eye-view image is generated as a bird's-eye-view image representing a difference between the captured bird's-eye-view image and a difference image that is an image representing a change in a pixel value of the captured bird's-eye-view image. The image processing unit generates a corrected history image that is a bird's-eye-view image obtained by combining the corrected bird's-eye-view images while shifting positions of the corrected bird's-eye-view images on the basis of a movement amount of the own vehicle. The image processing unit generates a corrected display image that is a bird's-eye-view image obtained by combining the corrected history image and the latest captured bird's-eye-view image, and makes a display unit display the corrected display image.

Claim (Index 5):
A display control method in a display control device for displaying, on a display unit mounted in a vehicle, a captured image in a predetermined range in a periphery of the vehicle, the display control method comprising:\n an acquisition step of sequentially acquiring the captured image from an in-vehicle camera mounted in the vehicle; a first image generation step of sequentially generating a captured bird's eye image that is a bird's eye image of the captured image; a second image generation step of sequentially generating a corrected bird's eye image that is a bird's eye image of the captured image and that is a bird's eye image from which irradiation light of the vehicle present in the captured image has been removed; a calculation step of calculating a movement amount of the vehicle; a corrected history generation step of generating a corrected history image that is a bird's eye image obtained by combining the corrected bird's eye images sequentially generated by the second image generation step while shifting positions of the corrected bird's eye images on the basis of the movement amount; a corrected display generation step of generating a corrected display image that is a bird's eye image obtained by combining the corrected history image and the latest captured bird's eye image; and a corrected display processing step of making the display unit display the corrected display image, wherein the second image generation step generates, as the corrected bird's eye image, at least one of a bird's eye image obtained by applying bird's eye conversion to an image representing a difference between the captured image having the irradiation light and a first difference image that is an image representing a change in a pixel value of the captured image by the irradiation light, and a bird's eye image representing a difference between the captured bird's eye image having the irradiation light and a second difference image that is an image representing a change in a pixel value of the captured bird's eye image by the irradiation light, and wherein the display control method further comprises, a captured history generation step of generating a captured history image that is a bird's eye image obtained by combining the captured bird's eye images sequentially generated by the first image generation step while shifting positions of the captured bird's eye images on the basis of the movement amount, a mask display generation step of generating a mask display image that is a bird's eye image in which in a bird's eye image obtained by combining the captured history image and the latest captured bird's-eye-view image, a region including a predetermined removal target of a captured history portion in which the captured history image before combining appears is masked by being filled with a predetermined color, and a mask display processing step of making the display unit display the mask display image.
