A vision system for a vehicle includes at least one camera disposed at a vehicle and having an image sensor operable to capture image data. A display is operable to display video images for viewing by a driver of the vehicle during normal operation of the vehicle. A first system on chip (SoC) receives captured image data and processes the received captured image data for machine vision. The first SoC, responsive to image processing of the received captured image data, generates an output for a driver assistance system of the vehicle. A second system on chip (SoC) receives captured image data and communicates the image data to the display.

A vehicle damage detection system comprising: a booth having a booth entrance for a vehicle to enter the booth and a booth exit for the vehicle to exit the booth; a plurality of damage assessment cameras orientated to capture damage assessment images of the vehicle when the vehicle is located at a damage assessment zone within the booth; a data processor configured to: receive the damage assessment images; execute a program to identify and assess damage to the vehicle using the damage assessment images; and generate a damage report quantifying the damage to the vehicle.

According to an aspect, a display apparatus includes: a plurality of first pixels to which at least one color is allocated; and a second pixel to which a high luminance color having higher luminance than luminance of the color of the first pixels is allocated. The first pixels are driven at a first drive frequency. The second pixel is driven at a second drive frequency higher than the first drive frequency.

This invention relates to an Extended Perception System that extends the perception of an object's surroundings. Three closely related primary sets of embodiments of this invention include: one set of embodiments is mounted on a set of one or more vehicles; a second set of embodiments is worn by a set of one or more persons and/or animals; and a third set of embodiments which can be in a location fixed with respect to terrestrial and/or other features. Improvements to head-mounted displays are disclosed.

An image capture device is mounted in a vehicle. The image capture device includes: an image capture unit; and a setting unit that sets an image capture condition for each region of the image capture unit each having a plurality of pixels, or for each pixel, based upon at least one of a state exterior to the vehicle and a state of the vehicle.

There is disclosed a viewing system coupled to a motor vehicle having a frame having a roof, at least one support, and a body with the at least one support supporting the roof over the body. The system can comprise at least one camera, at least one screen coupled to the support. In addition each camera is coupled to the at least one support and wherein said at least one screen is in communication with the first set of cameras, wherein said at least one screen displays images presented by the first set of cameras. This device can provide additional view in the blind spot of the vehicle.

An imaging device includes a reflection polarization prism having an incident surface on which illumination light emitted from a light emitter is incident and a transmission surface that passes the illumination light entered the incident surface through one surface of a light-transmitting member, an imager including an image sensor having a first light-receiving portion that receives light from a predetermined imaging area transmitting the light-transmitting member and a second light-receiving portion adjacent to the first light-receiving portion that receives the illumination light reflected on an opposite surface to the one surface of the light-transmitting member, and an optical member that emits the light introduced from the predetermined imaging area to the first light-receiving portion and emits the illumination light reflected on the opposite surface of the light-transmitting member to the second light-receiving portion.

The present disclosure provides a vehicle driving assistant apparatus, comprising: an infrared image acquiring module for acquiring information of an infrared image of an object ahead of a vehicle; a display module connected with the infrared image acquiring module, for displaying a corresponding image according to the information of the infrared image acquired by the infrared image acquiring module. The disclosure enables the driver to see the road conditions ahead by means of the vehicle driving assistant apparatus even when facing glaring light emitted from ahead when driving at night, thus reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents.

The invention relates to a capturing apparatus (3) for recognizing a gesture and/or a viewing direction of an occupant (13) of a motor vehicle (1), comprising a first sensor device (5) and comprising at least one second sensor device (6), wherein each of the sensor devices (5, 6) respectively has a lighting unit (7) for emitting light (11), a receiving unit (8) for receiving the light (12) reflected by the occupant (13) and a computer unit (9) for actuating the lighting unit (7) and for recognizing the gesture and/or the viewing direction on the basis of the reflected light (12), wherein the computer units (9) of the sensor devices (5, 6) are designed to actuate the lighting units (7) synchronously as a function of a synchronization signal.

A method for determining a position of a vehicle in a lane includes receiving perception information from a first camera positioned on a first side of a vehicle and a second camera positioned on a second side of the vehicle. The method includes determining, using one or more neural networks, a position of the vehicle with respect to lane markings on the first side and the second side of the vehicle. The method further includes notifying a driver or control system of the position of the vehicle.
