Abstract:
A vehicle electronic mirror system including: a rearward image capture section configured to capture a rearward video image from a vehicle; a video image processing section including: a computation section configured to extract a feature point in the rearward video image and to compute an optical flow direction of the feature point, a determination section configured to determine whether or not the optical flow direction of the feature point is heading toward a point-at-infinity side in the rearward video image, and a processed video image generation section configured to generate a processed video image in which visibility of a region in the rearward video image corresponding to a feature point heading toward the point-at-infinity side is reduced relative to a visibility of other regions in the rearward video image; and a display device configured to display the processed video image toward an occupant.
