Vehicular image-display system

Abstract

A vehicular image-display system includes an image capturing device, a control device, and an image display device. The image capturing device includes an imaging element configured to capture an image of surroundings of a vehicle, and an image acquirer configured to acquire, based on the captured image captured by the imaging element, an image that is smaller in area than the captured image. The control device includes an image generator configured to generate an image that is smaller in area than the acquired image based on the acquired image acquired by the image acquirer. The image display device is configured to display the image to be displayed generated by the image generator. The acquired image is transmitted from the image capturing device to the control device.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A vehicular image-display system, comprising:
 an imaging device configured to capture an image of surroundings of a vehicle;   first processing circuitry configured to generate an display image that is smaller in area than the acquired image, the display image being generated based on motion of a driver who is driving the vehicle; and   an image display configured to display the generated display image.   
     
     
         2 . The vehicular image-display system according to  claim 1 , further comprising second processing circuitry configured to calculate an image position and an area of the display image, based on the motion of the driver. 
     
     
         3 . The vehicular image-display system according to  claim 2 , wherein the second processing circuitry is included in the image capturing device. 
     
     
         4 . The vehicular image-display system according to  claim 2 , wherein the second processing circuitry is included in the control device 
     
     
         5 . The vehicular image-display system according to  claim 2 , wherein when the image position and the area of the display image are determined not to fall within an area of the acquired image, the second processing circuitry is further configured to calculate the image position and the area of the image to fall within an area of the acquired image. 
     
     
         6 . The vehicular image-display system according to  claim 2 , wherein the second processing circuitry is configured to
 analyze a line-of-sight position of the driver, and   calculate the image position and the area of the display image device based on a result of analysis of the line-of-sight position.   
     
     
         7 . The vehicular image-display system according to  claim 1 , wherein the imaging device is provided in the vehicle.
