An image display device includes an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of a rearview and a sideview from a host vehicle, and a display unit configured to display, as a display image, a captured image captured by the image capturing unit or a generated image generated based on the captured image. The display unit includes a first area for displaying the display image that includes an area to the rearview of the host vehicle and a second area, being arranged adjacent to the first area, for displaying the display image that includes an area to the sideview of the host vehicle, and the displayed image displayed in the second area is image-processed in such a manner that an aspect ratio changes with respect to an aspect ratio of the display image displayed in the first area.

The present application relates to a method and apparatus for generating a graphical user interface indicative of a vehicle underbody view including a LIDAR operative to generate a depth map of an off-road surface, a camera for capturing an image of the off-road surface, a chassis sensor operative to detect an orientation of a host vehicle, a processor operative to generate an augmented image in response to the depth map, the image and the orientation, wherein the augmented image depicts an underbody view of the host vehicle and a graphic representative of a host vehicle suspension system, and a display operative to display the augmented image to a host vehicle operator. A static and dynamic model of the vehicle underbody is compared vs the 3-D terrain model to identify contact points between the underbody and terrain are highlighted.

The present technology relates to a camera module, an information processing system, an information processing method, and an information processing apparatus capable of suppressing complication of a system including a camera in a moving device such as a vehicle.

A camera module includes a first camera, a second camera, and a housing that stores the first camera and the second camera. In a state where the camera module is installed in a moving device, an optical axis of the first camera faces obliquely rearward of the moving device, and an optical axis of the second camera faces in a lateral direction or obliquely forward of the moving device. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a vehicle that performs automated driving.

A periphery monitoring device includes: an image acquisition unit acquiring an image obtained from an imaging unit imaging a situation surrounding a towing vehicle to which a towed vehicle is connectable; a projection plane acquisition unit acquiring a three-dimensional virtual projection plane onto which the image can be projected and which is provided with a side plane rising in a height direction from a grounding surface of the towing vehicle; a projection processing unit projecting the image onto the virtual projection plane; a viewpoint setting unit setting a viewpoint position and a gazing point position with respect to the virtual projection plane; an image display unit causing a display device to display an image obtained by viewing the gazing point position from the viewpoint position with respect to the virtual projection plane; and a determination unit determining whether or not the towed vehicle is connected to the towing vehicle.

A system is provided for determining the material loading condition of a bucket of a material moving machine. The system includes an arrangement for generating a surface model of the surface of the material loaded into the bucket and comparing the surface model with a predefined preferred surface shape associated with the bucket.

A technique for rendering an under-vehicle view including obtaining a first location of a vehicle, the vehicle having a set of cameras disposed about the vehicle, capturing a set of images; storing images of the set of images in a memory, wherein the images are associated with a time the images were captured, moving the vehicle to a second location, obtaining the second location of the vehicle, determining an amount of time for moving the vehicle from the first location to the second location, generating a set of motion data, the motion data indicating a relationship between the second location of the vehicle and the first location of the vehicle, obtaining one or more stored images from the memory based on the determined amount of time, rendering a view under the vehicle based on the one or more stored images and set of motion data, and outputting the rendered view.

A system of coverings for a rear mounted spare tire having a central backup camera such as the Jeep is provided. The coverings including a hard cover with either a hard rim mount or a sewn on soft rim mount. The soft rim mount can have locking loops for a hidden cable lock. A multi-tiered face is both decorative and designed to protect the camera with a rubber framed window and built in awning. A soft cover option provides a two piece camera shield that is mounted into. The center of the soft cover with screws or the like. The front hood of the camera shield has an awning for the camera that does not obfuscate the view of the camera. Optional ornaments or brake lights can also be mounted onto the camera shield. The camera shield can be used without a tire cover for protection and mounting the ornament or light.

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include displaying vehicle environment awareness. In some embodiments, a visualization system may display an abstract representation of a vehicle's physical environment via a mobile device and/or a device embedded in the vehicle. For example, the visualization may use a voxel grid to represent the environment and may alter characteristics of shapes in the grid to increase their visual prominence when the sensors of the vehicle detect that an object is occupying the space represented by the shapes. In some embodiments, the visualization may gradually increase and reduce the visual prominence of shapes in the grid to create a soothing wave effect. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

A driving assistance device converts an image captured by an in-vehicle camera configured to image the periphery of a vehicle into an image viewed from a virtual viewpoint. The driving assistance device combines, as a higher-level layer, a vehicle image indicating the position and shape of the vehicle with a converted target image. The driving assistance device adjusts the opacity of the vehicle image such that the target image as a lower-level layer is visible at a superimposed portion of the vehicle image and the target image. At this point, the opacity of the vehicle image is variably set according to at least one of an own vehicle surrounding condition or a vehicle running condition. The driving assistance device outputs, as a driving assistance image, the target image combined with the adjusted vehicle image.

The present technology relates to an image generating device, an image generating method, and a program which are capable of calling attention of a user quickly. An integrating unit integrates a first image and a second image and generates an integrated image. A superimposition executing unit causes an alert mark to be superimposed on the integrated image and generates a superimposed image in a case in which an object shown in the second image is positioned on a farther side than an object shown in the first image. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a Camera Monitor System (CMS) which provides, for example, an image corresponding to an image observed by a side mirror or a rearview mirror or the like.
