Title:
VIEWPOINT LOCATION COMPUTATION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2012040902
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To improve reliability related to computation of a driver's viewpoint location.

A viewpoint location computation device 1 that computes the driver's viewpoint location (EP) includes: a first estimated viewpoint location computation unit 12 which computes a first estimated viewpoint location (EPRS) on the basis of the angle of the right side-view mirror R and the center face T of the vehicle's driver's seat; a second estimated viewpoint computation unit 13 which computes a second estimated viewpoint location (EPLS) on the basis of the angle of the left side-view mirror L and the center face T of the vehicle's driver's seat; a match condition determination unit 15 which determines whether the estimated viewpoint locations (EPRS, EPLS) match; and a viewpoint location computation unit 16 which, if it is determined that the estimated viewpoint locations (EPRS, EPLS) match, computes the estimated viewpoint location as the driver's viewpoint location (EP). If it is determined that the respective estimated viewpoint locations (EPRS, EPLS) do not match, the viewpoint location computation unit 16 computes the viewpoint location (EP) on the basis of the estimated viewpoint locations (EPRS, EPLS).
