To provide an on-vehicle camera controller capable of providing effective thermal countermeasures for an on-vehicle camera with the suppressed power consumption while ensuring necessary functionality for the on-vehicle camera.SOLUTION: An on-vehicle camera controller includes: an image sensor for imaging inside or outside of a vehicle; an image processing part for image-processing an image signal output by the image sensor and selectively outputting either a standard image or a synthesized image obtained by synthesizing the standard image; and a control part for controlling the output of the image sensor or the output of the image processing part. The control part includes a determination part for determining whether or not the synthesized image is required based on a signal with regard to vehicle running condition. The image processing part outputs the standard image if the determination part determines that the synthesized image is not required.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
【課題】車載カメラに必要な機能を確保しながら、消費電力を抑えて、車載カメラに効果的な熱対策を講じる。【解決手段】車載カメラ制御装置は、車外又は車内を撮像するイメージセンサと、イメージセンサが出力する画像信号を画像処理して、標準画像と標準画像を合成した合成画像を選択的に出力する画像処理部と、イメージセンサの出力又は画像処理部の出力を制御する制御部とを備え、制御部は、車両の走行状態に関する信号に基づいて合成画像の要否を判定する判定部を備え、画像処理部は、判定部が合成画像不要と判断した場合には、標準画像を出力する。【選択図】図1
