WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/065123

A1

An obstacle alert device capable of making explicit to a driver the presence of an obstacle approaching a vehicle, without causing the vicinity of the vehicle to become difficult to see, comprising: a captured image acquisition unit that obtains an image captured of the scene in the vicinity of the vehicle; a target captured image generation unit that generates a target captured image on the basis of the captured image; a masked region setting unit that sets a masked region, in the target captured image, wherein at least one section of the scene in the vicinity of the vehicle is not displayed; an object presence determination unit that determines whether or not an object is present in an outside region that is on the outside of the target captured image; an explicit image output unit that, when an object in the outside region travels towards a region corresponding to the target captured image, outputs an explicit image including an explicit indicator making explicit the presence of the object, said explicit image being displayed in an end section of the outside region side where the object is present in the target captured image; and a moving image output unit that, when an object in the outside region has entered a region corresponding to the target captured image, outputs an image wherein the explicit indicator is absorbed from the side in the masked region where the object is present.
