The invention relates to a method for providing an image representation (15) of an environment (7) of a vehicle (1), wherein the environment (7) of the vehicle (1) is captured at least partly, an image representation (15) of at least one first part (10a) of the captured environment (7) is provided within a defined viewport (10) from a defined perspective (11), wherein the image representation (15) includes a vehicle representation (14) representing the vehicle (1), and wherein the image representation (15) is displayed on a display device (12). Further, when providing the image representation (15) at least one second part (16a) of the captured environment (7) is represented in form of a mirrored image (18) of the at least one second part (16a) of the environment (7) on a defined region (17, 19, 20) of the vehicle representation (14).

The present invention relates to the field of onboard circuit technologies, and provides an onboard vehicle-powered wireless rearview AHD transmission apparatus. A wireless receive end of a transmission processing apparatus is wirelessly connected to a signal transmit end of an AHD camera, and the transmission processing apparatus receives and processes a rearview image signal to generate an AHD video signal for output. As such, stable signal transmission is implemented without installing inside a vehicle a data cable that runs through the vehicle or modifying the inside of the vehicle, thereby reducing a cost and facilitating installation.

This camera monitoring system (20) is intended for providing to a user a view of a scene captured by a camera. To that end, the camera monitoring system (20) comprises a wide angle camera (22A, 22B) for capturing a wide angle image of a scene, a determination unit (28) for determining an area of interest in the scene, an image treatment system (24A, 24B) for providing an undistorted portion, including the area of interest, of the wide angle image, and a display (26A, 26B) for displaying a continuous displayed image of the wide angle image. The displayed image comprises the undistorted portion adjoining at least one distorted portion of the wide angle image.

A vehicle vision system includes an extender element disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle. The extender element includes an extender portion and an end portion, with the end portion viewable to a viewer who is viewing the rear portion of the vehicle. The end portion includes at least one selected from the group consisting of (i) a vehicle emblem and (ii) a vehicle logo. A rear backup camera assembly is at least partially disposed in the extender portion of the extender element. The rear backup camera assembly is disposed with its lens viewing exterior of the vehicle. The extender element is incapable of extending such that the rear backup camera assembly is non-movable relative to the rear portion of the vehicle when disposed at the rear portion of the vehicle.

A trailering assist system for a vehicle includes a camera disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle and having a field of view rearward of the vehicle, the field of view encompassing at least a portion of a trailer rearward of the vehicle. The camera captures image data, which is representative of at least a front profile of the trailer, which includes a trailer coupler of the trailer. An ECU includes an image processor that processes image data captured by the camera. The ECU, responsive to image processing of captured image data, determines a location of the front profile of the trailer relative to the vehicle. Responsive to determining the location of the front profile, the ECU determines a plurality of outline landmarks that represent a shape of the front profile of the trailer. Based on the determined outline landmarks, the ECU determines a location of the trailer coupler.

An electronic mirror system includes: a camera for capturing images of surroundings of a vehicle; a display unit for displaying an image captured by the camera; a switch unit including an adjustment switch and a multi-function switch; and a control unit for performing a process according to a signal from the switch unit. When the multi-function switch is operated, the control unit executes a process selected from a plurality of set processes according to a state of the vehicle; and in a case where the executed process is a transition to a mode for changing setting information of the system, and when the adjustment switch is operated after the transition, the control unit changes the setting information according to a signal from the adjustment switch.

A controller of a drone includes a storage unit that stores a scene information database containing a plurality of scene information sets arranged in time series of a video, in each of the scene information sets, a relative position with respect to a vehicle in capturing a scene of the video and a duration of the scene are associated with each other, a vehicle information acquisition unit that receives vehicle information from the vehicle, a traveling position estimation unit that estimates a future traveling position of the vehicle based on the vehicle information, and a flight path calculation unit that, based on the estimated traveling position and the scene information database, calculates, for each of the scenes, a flight path that passes through the relative position with respect to the vehicle.

System and method for processing a camera frame in a mobile device by partitioning the camera frame into different sections based on the distance from a vehicle to each of the sections and the required resolution of each of the sections. A mobile device comprises: a memory; a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, the processor configured to: receive a camera frame from a camera mounted on a vehicle traveling on a road; determine a drivable path of the vehicle; project the drivable path onto the camera frame; partition a part of the camera frame containing the drivable path into at least one section based on a distance from the vehicle to each of the at least one section; and determine a required resolution of each of the at least one section based on the distance from the vehicle to each of the at least one section.

A vehicular rear view monitor assembly includes an extender element configured to be disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle. The extender element includes an extender portion and an end portion, with a vehicle element attached at the end portion of the extender element. A rear backup camera assembly is at least partially disposed in a hollow portion of the extender portion. The rear backup camera assembly includes a CMOS color camera. With the extender element disposed at the rear portion of the vehicle, the CMOS color camera of the rear backup camera assembly captures images of at least an area immediately rearward of the vehicle. With the extender element disposed at the rear portion of the vehicle, the extender element is incapable of extending such that the rear backup camera assembly is non-movable relative to the rear portion of the vehicle.

The present application provides an object tracking method. The object tracking method includes obtaining an image of an area in front of a vehicle; dividing the image of the area in the front of the vehicle into a plurality of sub-images; determining a plurality of first sub-images that satisfy a plurality of threshold conditions out of the plurality of sub-images; selecting a plurality of target sub-images out of the plurality of first sub-images, at least one of the plurality of first sub-images is not selected as one of the plurality of target sub-images; and recognizing a target object in one of the plurality of target sub-images.
