PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicular operation support apparatus enabling a driver to recognize a hard-to-recognize spot nearby a vehicle itself using an unmanned flying body, without allowing the driver to be conscious when operating the vehicle itself.SOLUTION: A support apparatus includes: an unmanned flying body 1 provided with an imaging device 7 capable of flying nearby a vehicle itself 39; a display part 37 capable of displaying, for a driver inside the vehicle itself, an image picked up by the imaging device; a detection part 47 (an inside-cabin camera) for detecting a movement of an upper body part of a driver in operation and that of a line of sight of the driver in operation; an estimation part 49 for detecting a gazing direction of the driver on the basis of the movements of the upper body part and the line of sight of the driver, and estimating a spot nearby the vehicle itself where the driver gazes at; and a control part 41 for causing the unmanned flying body to fly so as to image the estimated spot.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】自車両の運転時、運転者に意識させずに、無人飛行体により、運転者から見にくい自車両周囲の場所の視認を可能とした車両の運転支援装置を提供する。【解決手段】自車両39の周辺を飛行可能な、撮像装置7が付いた無人飛行体1と、撮像装置で撮像した画像を自車両内の運転者に表示可能な表示部37と、運転者の運転時における上体部の動きおよび視線の動きを検出する検出部47(車内カメラ)と、運転者の上体部の動きおよび視線の動きに基づき運転者の注視方向を検出し、運転者の注視先の自車両周囲の場所を推測する推測部49と、推測された場所を撮像するよう無人飛行体を飛行させる制御部41とを有する。【選択図】図1
