A vehicle vision system including an isolation block configured to compress under pressure, a rigid block on an interface surface of the isolation block configured to distribute pressure across the interface surface of the isolation block, the rigid block including a first protrusion extending away from the interface surface and having a cavity, and a camera embedded within the cavity and configured to capture video images.

A driving assistance apparatus is provided in which the detection range of a left-front-corner sonar (12a) located at the vehicle's left front corner is included in the field of view of a second imaging means (14) located at the vehicle's left front corner. When the left-front-corner sonar (12a) detects a three-dimensional object at the vehicle's left front corner, an image processing means (3) synthesizes an image of the image created using a second imaging means (14) and the images created with four cameras (7a-7d) for imaging the complete periphery of the vehicle, and creates a bird's-eye-view image (40b). The detection range of the left-front-corner sonar (12a) is included within a region of the bird's-eye image (40b) on the basis of the image created with the second imaging means (14).

The present technology relates to, for example, an image-capturing apparatus, an image processing method, and a program that make it possible to suppress an increase in costs. A controller performs an extraction control for extracting a first image and a second image from a captured image captured by an image sensor that performs image-capturing, the first image being displayed on a first display section, the second image being displayed on a second display section. A data amount adjuster adjusts data amounts of the first image and the second image according to vehicle information acquired from a vehicle. For example, the present technology is applicable to a viewing system that displays an image of a region behind a vehicle.

A vehicular scalable integrated control system includes a plurality of sensors and a vehicular scalable integrated control unit. The plurality of sensors includes a plurality of cameras and a plurality of radar sensors. Data captured by the sensors is provided as input to and is processed at the vehicular scalable integrated control unit. Responsive at least in part to processing at the vehicular scalable integrated control unit of data captured by the plurality of sensors, the vehicular scalable integrated control system at least partially controls at least one selected from the group consisting of (i) braking of the vehicle while being driven along a road and (ii) steering of the vehicle while being driven along the road. The plurality of cameras includes a front camera disposed at an in-cabin side of a windshield of the vehicle. The front camera views through the windshield forward of the vehicle.

In order to display driving assistance images to a driver in a vehicle, visible light images are captured using a visible light camera mounted for viewing a roadway on which the vehicle travels and infrared images overlapping with the visible light images are captured using an infrared camera mounted for viewing the roadway. The visible light images are normally displayed on a display screen when a visible light brightness around the vehicle is greater than a brightness threshold. Trigger conditions are monitored which are indicative of limitations of a driver visibility when directly viewing the roadway. The trigger conditions include a driver reaction. The monitored trigger condition is classified according to a plurality of predetermined classifications which indicate an occurrence of an impairment event. The infrared images are selected for display on the display screen upon occurrence of the impairment event.

A vehicular vision system includes a plurality of vehicle cameras disposed at a vehicle, a trailer camera disposed at a trailer, and a video display screen disposed at the vehicle and viewable by a driver of the vehicle. When the trailer is hitched to the vehicle, the trailer camera captures image data and provides captured image data to an electronic control unit (ECU). The plurality of vehicle cameras capture image data and provide captured image data to the ECU. An auxiliary camera is detachably attached at an exterior side portion of the trailer. With the auxiliary camera detachably attached at the exterior side portion of the trailer and during a reversing maneuver of the vehicle with the trailer hitched to the vehicle, and responsive to a user input, video images derived from the image data captured by the auxiliary camera are displayed for viewing by the driver of the vehicle.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a rear-view assembly comprising a housing, a frame, wherein the frame is secured to a vehicle and the housing is secured to the frame, and at least one camera, having at least one lens is secured to the frame to improve image stability. The rear-view assembly may also include a bezel and a reflective element. The bezel has a bezel aperture which allows the at least one lens to view a rearward direction with respect to the vehicle.

A display system for vehicle includes: a display located on a vehicle; a display CTL that supplies display data to the display; a display power supply relay that switches on and off feeding of power to the display; a CTL power supply relay that switches on and off feeding of power to the display CTL; an instruction receiver; and a power supply controller that controls the display power supply relay and the CTL power supply relay. The power supply controller turns on the display power supply relay and the CTL power supply relay, thereby placing the display system in a displaying mode. In the displaying mode, upon receiving an OFF instruction from the instruction receiver, the power supply controller turns off the display power supply relay while maintaining the controller power supply relay in the ON state, and thereby places the display system in a sleep mode.

A display apparatus used for a vehicle is provided. The display apparatus may include a display unit configured to show an external environment around the vehicle and having flexibility, and a housing configured to support the display unit, in which the display unit is folded when the display apparatus is not used, the display unit is unfolded when the display apparatus is used, and an operation of the display unit is performed by a drive unit embedded in the housing.

A vehicle monitoring device for installment in a vehicle in which a cargo bed is provided at a rear side of a cabin and a tailgate is provided at a rear end portion of the cargo bed. The vehicle monitoring device includes a memory and a processor connected to the memory. The processor is configured to cause a first imaging unit installed at a rear face portion of the tailgate to capture an image rearward of the vehicle, cause a second imaging unit installed at a cabin rear end portion side of an upper portion of the vehicle to capture an image of the cargo bed and rearward of the vehicle, cause an open or closed state acquisition section to acquire an open or closed state of the tailgate, and when a state in which the tailgate is in a closed state is acquired by the open or closed state acquisition section, use images captured by the first imaging unit to assist monitoring rearward of the vehicle, and when a state in which the tailgate is in an open state is acquired by the open or closed state acquisition section, use images captured by the second imaging unit to assist monitoring rearward of the vehicle.
