SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR UTILIZING MACHINE LEARNING FOR VEHICLE DETECTION OF ADVERSE CONDITIONS
In some implementations, an adverse environment detection system may receive an image of a road scene associated with a vehicle. The adverse environment detection system may determine a set of features associated with the image based on providing the image to an initial portion of a model. The adverse environment detection system may determine a first condition associated with the image based on providing the set of features to a first processing layer of the model, a second condition associated with the image based on providing the set of features to a second processing layer of the model, and a third condition associated with the image based on providing the set of features to a third processing layer of the model. The first processing layer, the second processing layer, and the third processing layer may process the set of features in parallel.
Vehicular camera with thermally conductive material disposed between and contacting stacked PCBs
A vehicular camera includes a lens holder, a plurality of printed circuit boards and a housing portion. The individual printed circuit boards are stacked and overlap one another. Circuitry disposed at a first printed circuit board is electrically connected with circuitry disposed at a second printed circuit board via board-to-board electrical connection. The first side of the first printed circuit board is adhesively bonded to the lens holder via cured adhesive. Thermally conductive material is disposed between and is in thermally-conductive contact with the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board. A first electrical connector is disposed at the second printed circuit board and electrically connects with a second electrical connector of an electrical connector portion of the housing portion as the housing portion is being joined with the lens holder to encase the plurality of printed circuit boards during assembly of the vehicular camera.
Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and image processing system
Provision of a sense of distance by motion parallax is easily realized. A display image is obtained by superimposing an image showing a vehicle on a captured image obtained by capturing an image on a rear side from the vehicle. For example, the image showing the vehicle is a computer graphics image. For example, a change is made in a superimposed positional relationship between the captured image and the image showing the vehicle in accordance with motion of a viewpoint of a driver. Since the display image is not only made from the captured image obtained by capturing an image on a rear side from the vehicle, but the display image is obtained by superimposing the image showing the vehicle on the captured image, it is possible to easily provide a sense of distance by motion parallax.
UNIT PIXEL, IMAGE SENSOR, AND VEHICLE
A unit pixel includes a first photoelectric converter, a first transfer transistor disposed between to the first photoelectric converter and a first node, a connection transistor disposed between and connected to a second node and the first node, a second transfer transistor disposed between and connected to a third node and the second node, a second photoelectric converter connected to the third node, and a storage metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitor connected to the third node. The storage MOS capacitor stores charges from the second photoelectric converter. For a first time period, first charges accumulated in the first photoelectric converter are transferred to the first node, for a second time period, second charges accumulated in the first photoelectric converter are transferred to the first node and the second node, and for a third time period, third charges accumulated in the second photoelectric converter are transferred to the first to third nodes.
SMART UNLOADING OF IMPLEMENT HEAD ON TRAILER
An implement head transportation includes an implement head, a traction unit, and a trailer. The traction unit is configured to receive and support the implement head for operation of the implement head. The trailer is configured to receive and support the implement head for transportation of the implement head between locations. The trailer includes a frame including information related to an implement placement location on the frame. The traction unit includes a controller operable to sense data from the trailer related to the implement placement location on the frame, and generate a guide signal. The guide signal guides the traction unit relative to the trailer to position the implement head on the implement placement location of the frame when transferring the implement head from the traction unit to the trailer.
Periphery monitoring device
A periphery monitoring device according to an embodiment includes, as an example: a processor that generates a display image obtained by viewing, from a virtual viewpoint received through an operation input unit, a point of gaze in a virtual space including a model obtained by pasting a captured image obtained by imaging a surrounding area of a vehicle in a first position of the vehicle at a first time using imaging units provided on the vehicle to a three-dimensional plane around the vehicle, and including a three-dimensional vehicle image provided in a second position of the vehicle at a second time after the first time; and outputs the display image to a display.
Work vehicle debris accumulation control systems
A debris accumulation control system is provided for usage within a work vehicle including an operator station and a work vehicle compartment. In embodiments, the work vehicle debris accumulation control system includes a display device located in the operator station of the work vehicle, a three dimensional (3D) imaging device having a field of view (FOV) encompassing a debris-gathering region of the work vehicle compartment, and a controller operably coupled to the display device and to the 3D imaging device. The controller is configured to: (i) utilize 3D imaging data provided by the 3D imaging device to estimate a debris accumulation risk level within the work vehicle compartment; and (ii) generate a first visual alert on the display device when the debris accumulation risk level surpasses a first predetermined threshold.
Vehicle analysis environment with displays for vehicle sensor calibration and/or event simulation
A vehicle analysis environment includes one or more display screens, such as a display screen wall or an array of display screens. While a vehicle is in the vehicle analysis environment, a vehicle analysis system renders and displays one or more vehicle sensor calibration targets and/or one or more simulated events on the one or more display screens. Vehicle sensors of the vehicle capture sensor data while in the vehicle analysis environment. The sensor data depict the vehicle sensor calibration targets and/or the simulated events that are displayed on the one or more display screens. The vehicle can output actions based on the simulated event and/or can calibrate its vehicle sensors based on the vehicle sensor calibration targets.
Trailer angle detection system using rear camera of vehicle
A vehicular trailer assist system includes a control that includes an image processor for processing image data captured by the camera representative of at least a portion of a trailer hitched to the vehicle. The control determines whether the trailer has been previously hitched to the vehicle. Responsive to the trailer not being previously hitched, the control operates in a trailer initial calibration mode. Responsive to the control recognizing the trailer, the control operates in a recognized trailer calibration mode. The control obtains calibration data unique to the hitched trailer. The control, responsive to obtaining the calibration data, processes image data captured by the camera using the calibration data to locate the current position of the trailer relative to the vehicle. The control, responsive to locating the current position of the trailer relative to the vehicle, determines a trailer angle based on the located current position.
Holographic display system
A display system for a vehicle includes a display unit mounted to the vehicle and is selectively operable in a first mode as a holographic display and in a second mode as a mirror. Holographic images may include rear view images obtained from a camera or computer generated graphics. Holographic images are displayed at a virtual image plane behind the display to reduce the operator's eyes accommodation.
