A rearward camera of a vehicle electronic mirror system images a rearward view of a vehicle, and a lateral rearward camera unit images each of right and left lateral rearward views of the vehicle. A control device compresses at least one of a rearward view picture after imaging by the rearward camera and right and left lateral rearward view pictures after imaging by the lateral rearward camera unit, at least in a vehicle-width direction, and performs display on an inner mirror display. The control device changes the compression ratio of the picture in the control device, depending on at least one of a state and peripheral situation of the vehicle. Accordingly, when a vehicle rearward side including lateral rearward sides contains a site requiring an easy distance-sense grasp, it is possible to easily grasp distance sense by decreasing the compression ratio of the picture corresponding to the site.

In one approach, a method includes: displaying, to a user of a first vehicle, image data obtained using a first field of view of a camera of the first vehicle, where the camera collects the image data for objects located outside of the first vehicle; detecting, by at least one processing device of the first vehicle, a second vehicle; determining, by the one processing device, whether the second vehicle is within a predetermined region relative to the first vehicle; and in response to determining that the second vehicle is within the predetermined region, displaying image data obtained using a second field of view of the camera.

A vehicle periphery display device includes: an acquisition portion acquiring a captured image obtained by imaging a periphery of a vehicle with an imaging portion; and a display processing portion causing a display image that is a stereoscopic image of the vehicle and the periphery of the vehicle to be displayed on a display portion on the basis of the captured image. The display processing portion causes at least one of a contour guide line representing a contour of the vehicle, and a predicted course guide line that is a trajectory drawn by the contour guide line according to movement of the vehicle to be included in the display image, and changes a position of at least one of the contour guide and predicted course guide lines such that the contour guide and predicted course guide lines are present above a road surface when the vehicle is turned.

An apparatus and a method for camera view selection for a first vehicle are provided. The apparatus can include camera modules and processing circuitry. The camera modules are configured to use first camera views to show a surrounding environment of the first vehicle. The processing circuitry can obtain view selection information that indicates at least one of: one or more reference camera views and road information for the first vehicle. The processing circuitry can determine, based on the view selection information, a candidate camera view for the first vehicle from the first camera views and select one of the first camera views for a user of the first vehicle based on at least one of the candidate camera view and a user preference.

An apparatus includes an interface and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive pixel data corresponding to an exterior view from a vehicle. The processor may be configured to (a) process the pixel data arranged as video frames, (b) generate video data for a display in response to the video frames, (c) store a plurality of view preferences for the display, (d) determine (i) a current location of the vehicle, (ii) a current status of the vehicle, (iii) a current maneuver being performed, and (iv) which portion of the current maneuver is being performed, and (e) generate an output signal to select a view for the display. Each view preference generally corresponds to one or more of (i) a location, (ii) a vehicle status, (iii) a maneuver, and (iv) a portion of the maneuver, when the maneuver comprises more than one portion. The processor may switch between a plurality of view preferences associated with the maneuver based on a plurality of precise locations corresponding to a plurality of portions of the maneuver. The processor may determine a current precise location within the maneuver by calculating distances using image-based localization applied to the video frames. The output signal may be generated in response to the current precise location within the maneuver and the current status matching the precise location and the vehicle status, respectively, of a particular one of the plurality of view preferences corresponding to the plurality of portions of the maneuver. The view selected may be determined based on the particular one of the plurality of view preferences.

An apparatus includes a plurality of capture devices and a processor. The plurality of capture devices may each be configured to generate video frames corresponding to an area outside of a vehicle. The processor may be configured to receive the video frames from each of the plurality of capture devices, generate video data for a display in response to the video frames, store a view preference for the display corresponding to (i) a location and (ii) a vehicle status, determine a current location and a current status of the vehicle and generate an output signal to select a view for the display. The output signal may be generated in response to the current location matching the location and the current status matching the vehicle status. The view selected may be determined based on the view preference.

A system and method provide rearward viewing for a vehicle driver. The rearward viewing system includes left side and right side video cameras for obtaining video image rearwardly outwardly from the sides of the vehicle. Left side and right side electronic image displays display portions of the images. A vehicle interior driver monitoring camera senses an upper body position of a driver. An electronic processor is configured to receive an upper body position and determine portions of the left side video images to display on the left side electronic image display, and to determine portions of the right side video images to display on the right side electronic image display. Additional movements of a driver adjust a field of view of the left side video images by changing portions thereof that are provided to the left side electronic image display. Right side and rearview images are also adjusted.

This image generation device is provided with: an image acquisition unit that acquires a rear-side image of the rear side of a vehicle; and an image generation unit. When the rear-side image includes an overlapped portion where an image region, in which an auxiliary line for assisting in the backward driving of the vehicle is overlaid, overlaps an image region in which a specific target is positioned, the image generation unit generates, in at least the overlapped portion, an image in which the auxiliary line is not overlaid or is overlaid in a semi-transparent state; and when the rear-side image does not include the overlapped portion, the image generation unit generates an image in which the auxiliary line is overlaid on the rear-side image.

Systems and methods are provided for using video/still images captured by continuously recording optical sensors mounted on waste collection vehicles used in in the waste collection, disposal and recycling industry for operational and customer service related purposes. Optical sensors are integrated into the in-cab monitor as well as the onboard computer, digital video recorder and other external devices.

A display system includes an imaging section, a display section, a selection section, an operation section, and a display control section. The imaging section is configured to image toward a rear and a side of a vehicle. The display section is configured to display an image captured by the imaging section. The selection section is configured to allow selection of a standard mode or a wide-angle mode. The operation section is configured to enable operation of one out of forward driving or reverse driving of the vehicle. The display control section includes RAM, and switches to whichever mode has been set out of the standard mode or the wide-angle mode immediately prior to the vehicle being driven in reverse in cases in which an operation to switch from reverse driving to forward driving of the vehicle has been performed using the operation section while in a reverse driving mode.
