Vehicular vision system

A vehicular vision system includes a video display screen and a video processor operable to process captured video image data captured by a rearward-viewing camera at the vehicle. The video display screen includes a left display region at a left portion, a right display region at a right portion, and a middle display region that spans between the left and right display regions. The video display screen displays at the left display region video images derived from image data captured by the rearward-viewing video camera to display a scene occurring at a left side lane at a left side of the equipped vehicle and does not display video images of the scene occurring at the left side lane at the left side of the equipped vehicle at the middle display region of the video display screen or at the right display region of the video display screen.

Method for generating surround view images derived from image data captured by cameras of a vehicular surround view vision system

A method for generating surround view images derived from image data captured by cameras of a vehicular surround view vision system includes equipping a vehicle with a plurality of cameras disposed at the vehicle. Image data is captured by the cameras and provided to a control of the vehicle. The provided captured image data is processed to generate a first three-dimensional representation in accordance with a first curved surface model as if seen by a virtual observer from a first virtual viewing point exterior of the vehicle having a first viewing direction. The first representation is output to a display screen of the vehicle for display to the driver of the vehicle. Responsive to actuation of a user input, the processing is adjusted to generate a second three-dimensional representation in accordance with a second curved surface model, and the second representation is output to the display screen.

Virtual overlay system and method for occluded objects

The present invention provides a system and method of displaying a representation of a road sign. The method comprises receiving information associated with the road sign, the information associated with the road sign comprising a front face of the road sign and a location of the road sign in a road system; receiving an image from a camera, the road sign being within the field of view of the camera; determining, using the image, an amount of the road sign that is obstructed; generating, in dependence on the amount obstructed, the representation of the road sign using the information associated with the road sign; and outputting the representation of the road sign for display.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A DESIRED VIEW FOR A VEHICLE OCCUPANT
20220080890 · 2022-03-17 ·

A system, method and computer program product for providing a desired camera view of interest for a vehicle occupant. The method includes obtaining, by the least a first interior view camera, at least a first interior view of the face and/or the head of the vehicle occupant determining, based on the at least first interior view, at least any of a gaze direction and a head direction of the vehicle occupant for understanding where the vehicle occupant is looking, determining, that the view of interest for the vehicle occupant is, at least partly, within the at least first exterior view of the at least first exterior view camera, and displaying the at least first exterior view to the vehicle occupant via the at least first display.

Towing assistance apparatus

A towing assistance apparatus includes an image acquisition unit successively acquiring a rear image and a lateral image serving as a surrounding image captured by an imaging unit that is provided at a towing vehicle to which a towed vehicle is configured to be connected, an angle acquisition unit acquiring a connection angle between the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle, and a display processing unit switching the surrounding image displayed at a display unit from the lateral image to the rear image in a case where the connection angle becomes equal to or greater than a first angle at which a change control for decreasing the connection angle is impossible by a steering of the towing vehicle during a rearward driving thereof in a state where the lateral image is displayed and the towing vehicle to which the towed vehicle is connected is in a rearward driving available state.

VEHICULAR DISPLAY SYSTEM

A vehicular display system shows an image of a surrounding area of a vehicle in a superior visibility mode. Embodiments include an imaging unit that captures an image of the surrounding area of the vehicle; an image processing unit that converts the image captured by the imaging unit into a view image of the area seen from a predetermined virtual viewpoint in the cabin; and a display unit that shows the view image generated by the image processing unit. The image processing unit can generate, as the view image, a first view image acquired when a first direction is seen from the virtual viewpoint, and a second view image acquired when a second direction differing from the first direction is seen from the virtual viewpoint. Each of the first and second view images is shown at a horizontal angle of view that corresponds to a stable visual field.

VEHICULAR DISPLAY SYSTEM

A vehicular display system shows a view image including a blind area with superior visibility. Embodiments include an imaging unit that captures an image of a surrounding area of a vehicle; an image processing unit that converts the image into a view image of the surrounding area of the vehicle seen from inside a cabin; and a display unit. The image processing unit generates a rear-view image acquired when an area behind the vehicle is seen from a first virtual viewpoint located in the cabin, and a front-view image acquired when an area in front of the vehicle is seen from a second virtual viewpoint located behind the first virtual viewpoint in the cabin. The display unit shows the rear-view image when the vehicle travels backward, the front-view image when the vehicle travels forward, and shows both of the view images at substantially the same angle of view.

VEHICLE IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING VISUAL INFORMATION ON DISPLAY INCLUDED IN VEHICLE
20220080829 · 2022-03-17 ·

An image processing device and an image processing method are disclosed. The image processing device includes a memory storing a first image transmitted from a first camera and a second image transmitted from a second camera with a wider view angle than the first camera, and a processor processing the first and second images. When a target is specified in a first area in which the first image and the second image overlap each other within an augmented reality screen generated based on at least one of the first and second images, the processor extracts target information on the target based on data for the first image, and generate augmented reality data based on the target information so that a visual object corresponding to the target is displayed on the first area.
