A vision system for a vehicle includes a first imager located at a front portion of the vehicle, a second imager located at the rear of the vehicle, a third imager located in a first exterior rearview mirror assembly of the vehicle and a fourth imager located in a second exterior rearview mirror assembly of the vehicle. Responsive to the vehicle being shifted into a reverse gear, (a) video images derived from image data captured by the second imager are displayed on a video display screen and (b) responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data by a common image processor, the driver of the vehicle is alerted to the presence of an object exterior the equipped vehicle. When the vehicle travels forward, the common image processor processes first image data captured by the first imager for at least a lane departure warning system of the vehicle.

Provided is a display system, which makes it easy for an operator to accurately grasp a traveling situation of a work vehicle. A front camera captures an excavating blade and topography in front of a crawler dozer. A rear camera captures a fuel tank and a ripper apparatus, and a topography behind the crawler dozer. A display image displayed on a monitor is generated by arranging a front image captured by the front camera and a rear image captured by the rear camera so that the excavating blade in the front image may face the fuel tank in the rear image.

An image processing device is enabled to appropriately restore a contrast of a camera image. An in-vehicle camera has an image capture unit that captures images of surroundings of a vehicle through a windshield of the vehicle. A hood is disposed below the image capture unit and is present within an angle of view of the image capture unit. The control unit includes a luminance acquirer that acquires a luminance parameter indicating a degree of luminance of the hood appearing in a camera image, a whitish blur degree calculator that calculates a degree of whitish blur of the camera image caused by a reflection of natural light by the hood and the windshield in accordance with the luminance parameter, and a contrast corrector that corrects a contrast of the camera image in accordance with the whitish blur degree.

A display device includes a light collector including a camera unit having a camera and a window unit having a window, an optical unit that controls a path of light received from the window unit, and a transparent display panel including at least one pixel area that displays an image based on an image captured by the camera unit and at least one transmissive area that displays an image received from the optical unit.

A vehicular vision system includes a forward-viewing camera located behind and viewing through a vehicle windshield, a rearward-viewing camera located at a rear of the vehicle, and a common image processor operable for processing captured image data. A video display screen is located within the interior cabin of the vehicle viewable by a driver of the vehicle. The common image processor processes first image data captured by the forward-viewing camera to detect at least one vehicle present exterior the equipped vehicle. Responsive to the vehicle being shifted into a reverse gear and while the driver is executing a reversing maneuver, video images derived from image data captured by at least the rearward-viewing camera are displayed by the video display screen.

A display system includes: a display element that includes a display surface through which light showing an image is emitted; a concave mirror that reflects the light emitted through the display surface of the display element; and an optical element that includes a wave plate and a transmissive polarizing plate that is a polarizing element, the optical element facing the concave mirror. The concave mirror and the optical element are each provided separately from the display element. The optical element (i) transmits reflected light resulting from the light emitted through the display surface of the display element being reflected by the concave mirror, and (ii) reflects light from outside off a surface of the optical element, the surface facing the concave mirror, the light from the outside entering the optical element from a side through which the reflected light exits, and being reflected by the concave mirror.
