Abstract:
A display control apparatus mounted in a vehicle is provided with a viewpoint conversion unit, an image enhancement unit and an image outputting unit. The image recognition unit recognizes an object in images captured by a plurality of imaging devices, mounted on a vehicle to captures images surrounding the vehicle. The viewpoint conversion unit specifies an imaging device, which captures an image having an object recognized by the recognition unit, as a recognition imaging device, and converts the captured image to a viewpoint converted image, viewed from a virtual viewpoint corresponded to the recognition imaging device. The image enhancement unit enhances an imaging area of the object included in the viewpoint converted image. The viewpoint converted image having the imaging area of the object enhanced is output to a display from the image output unit as a driving support image.
