An imaging display system including an imaging unit that images an image of outside of a riding device and outputs a video signal that indicates the image, a video signal processing unit that receives the video signal from the imaging unit and outputs a digital video signal based on the video signal that has been received, a central signal processing unit that receives the digital video signal from the video signal processing unit via a transmission line in the riding device, a display control unit that receives the digital video signal from the video signal processing unit, generates a display signal from the digital video signal that has been received, and outputs the display signal, and a display unit that displays an image that is indicated by the display signal that has been received from the display control unit is configured.

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.

A vehicular camera calibration system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle, and an electronic control unit (ECU). The camera calibration system utilizes an intrinsic parameter of the camera and uses a kinematic model of motion of the vehicle that is determined at least in part via processing of multiple frames of captured image data. The camera calibration system, responsive to processing of multiple frames of image data captured by the camera as the vehicle moves along a path of travel, and based at least in part on (i) an intrinsic parameter of the camera and (ii) the kinematic model of motion of the vehicle, determines misalignment of the camera. The camera calibration system determines camera misalignment without use of a fiducial marker in the field of view of the camera as the vehicle moves along the path of travel and without use of reference points on the vehicle.

A vehicular trailer hitching assist system includes a camera disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle and viewing at least rearward of the vehicle. An electronic control unit (ECU) includes an image processor operable to process image data captured by the camera. The ECU, via image processing of image data captured by the camera, detects a trailer rearward of the vehicle and determines a first path of travel for the vehicle to follow to maneuver the vehicle toward the trailer and to align the tow ball of the vehicle with a trailer hitch of the trailer. The ECU generates an output to maneuver the vehicle along the determined first path of travel. Responsive to detection of an object entering the first path of travel, the ECU determines a second path of travel for the vehicle to follow that avoids the detected object entering the determined path of travel.

A method for the reliable and error-robust analysis of visually captured vehicle surroundings is provided. A deviation of a camera orientation caused by a force impacting an exterior mirror carrying the camera can be compensated fully automatically. As a result, the method can be used during active travels in the field and creates more safety, in particular for autonomous driving.

Aspects of the present invention relate to an image correction system (300) for mitigating image flicker from strobed lighting systems. The image correction system (300) comprises one or more controllers (120) comprising input means (122), processing means (121) and output means (122). The input means (122) is configured to receive, from a first imaging apparatus (111) comprising a first pixel array configured to operate with at least a first exposure time, first image data (141) indicative of an environment. The input means (122) are configured to receive, from a second imaging apparatus (112) comprising a second pixel array configured to operate with at least a second exposure time different to the first exposure time, second image data (142) indicative of at least a portion of the environment. The processing means (121) are configured to identify strobed lighting regions of the first image data (141) and strobed lighting regions of the second image data (142); and to determine corrected image data for mitigating image flicker of the strobed lighting regions of the first image data (141) in dependence on a correspondence between the strobed lighting regions of the first image data (141) and the strobed lighting regions of the second image data (142). The output means (122) is configured to output a signal indicative of the corrected image data.

A vehicle image processing device includes a camera that images surroundings of a vehicle and outputs video data. An image extraction unit extracts an image from the video data when a predetermined operation for instructing image acquisition is performed, and an image processing unit processes the extracted image in accordance with a field of view of the user in a vehicle interior. A display processing unit and a display device display the processed image on a screen arranged at a position aligned with a line of sight of the user.

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.

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.

The invention relates to a method and system for adapting to a driver position an image displayed on a monitor in a cab of the vehicle. The invention further relates to a vehicle including such a system. The invention is particularly well suited for heavy-duty vehicles, such as trucks, buses and construction equipment. The invention may also be used in other vehicles such as a car.
