Title:
VIEWPOINT LOCATION COMPUTATION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/023480
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention is a viewpoint location computation device (1) that computes a driver's viewpoint location (EP), comprising: 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).
