METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE STEERING, VEHICLE-MOUNTED CONTROLLER AND VEHICLE
A method and a device for controlling vehicle steering, a vehicle-mounted controller; and a vehicle thereof are provided. The vehicle-mounted controller includes: detection module, image acquisition module, and display module; the detection module is provided at rubber hoses located between a left and right vehicle doors and the vehicle body, and is configured to detect whether an electrical signal is present in the rubber hose, which is energized when turn signal lamp in the vehicle is activated. The method includes: receiving the electrical signal detected by the detection module; determining the current turning direction of the vehicle after receiving the electrical signal; controlling the image acquisition module to acquire an image for the rear of the vehicle in the current turning direction, and sending the image acquired to the display module, so as to display the image for the rear of the vehicle in the current turning direction.
Method for operating a display arrangement of a motor vehicle, and motor vehicle
A method for operating a display arrangement of a motor vehicle. A camera continuously captures camera images of a motor vehicle environment and a display device shows the camera images in the form of an alternating image display. An additional, continuously changing image element is shown in or adjacent to the display of alternating images. The image element does not change if a malfunction of the camera and/or the display device and/or another component of the display arrangement results in the display of a still image comprising a single camera image by the display device.
VEHICLE PERIPHERY MONITORING DEVICE
A vehicle periphery monitoring device stores images photographed with a front camera, a rear camera, a left side camera, and a right side camera as a past front image, a past rear image, a past left side image, and a past right side image, respectively. When a vehicle travels while making a turn, the vehicle periphery monitoring device generates an underfloor image indicating a condition of an underfloor of the vehicle using at least one of the past front image and the past rear image and at least one of the past left side image and the past right side image. The vehicle periphery monitoring device displays the generated underfloor image on a display.
Work vehicle multi-camera vision systems
A multi-camera vision system utilized onboard a work vehicle includes, among other components, vehicle cameras and a display device utilized within an operator station of the work vehicle. The vehicle cameras provide vehicle camera feeds of the work vehicle's surrounding environment, as captured from different vantage points. A controller, which is coupled to the vehicle cameras and to the display device, is configured to: (i) generate, on the display device, a multi-camera display including framing icons, gallery display areas within the framing icons, and a main display area; (ii) identify a currently-selected vehicle camera feed and one or more non-selected vehicle camera feeds from the multiple vehicle camera feeds; and (iii) present the currently-selected vehicle camera feed in the main display area of the multi-camera display, while concurrently presenting the one or more non-selected vehicle camera feeds in a corresponding number of the gallery display areas.
Vehicle periphery display device
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 including a vehicle image and a periphery image 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 image and having a first margin in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle image and a second margin in an advancing direction of the vehicle image, and a predicted course guide line that is a trajectory drawn by the contour guide line according to movement of the vehicle to be displayed in the display image, and changes at least one of the first and second margins when the vehicle is turned.
CAMERA SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE
A camera system for a vehicle includes: a side view camera apparatus including a left side view camera and a right side view camera; a top view camera apparatus including a left top view camera and a right top view camera; an electronic controller configured to receive images from the side view camera apparatus and the top view camera apparatus; and a display apparatus configured to receive, from the electronic controller, the images from the side view camera apparatus and the top view camera apparatus, and output the images from the side view camera apparatus and the top view camera apparatus. The electronic controller is further configured to change an imaging angle of either one or both of the left top view camera and the right top view camera, in response to either one or both of the left side view camera and the right side view camera failing.
VEHICLE IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE
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.
DETECTION OF CYCLISTS NEAR EGO VEHICLES
A method for alerting a driver when a cyclist is detected near an ego vehicle is described. The method includes detecting a presence of an object proximate the ego vehicle. The method also includes identifying the object as the cyclist according to geometric characteristics and/or speed data of the detected object. The method further includes displaying a graphical indication of the cyclist on a passenger side/driver side mirror of the ego vehicle while the cyclist is in a blind spot of the ego vehicle.
TECHNIQUES FOR VEHICLE COLLISION AVOIDANCE
Techniques for vehicle collision avoidance are disclosed. Driver position data identifying a position of a driver with respect to a reference point is received from position sensor. The driver position data is compared by a processor against a predefined position threshold. A rear-view display mounted in a rear-view mirror housing is activated to display signals received from a wide-view rear facing camera when a result of comparing the driver position data against a predefined position threshold indicates that the driver position is at least equal to the predefined position threshold.
Method for displaying video images for a vehicular vision system
A method for displaying video images includes providing a plurality of cameras and an ECU at the vehicle. The cameras are in communication with one another via a vehicle network and the ECU is in communication with the cameras via respective data lines. During a driving maneuver of the vehicle, one of the cameras is designated as and functions as a master camera and other cameras are designated as and function as slave cameras. During the driving maneuver, automatic control of exposure, gain and white balance parameters of the designated master camera is enabled, and the exposure, gain and white balance parameters of the designated master camera are communicated to the designated slave cameras via the vehicle network. A composite image is displayed that provides bird's eye view video images derived from video image data captured by at least the designated master camera and the designated slave cameras.
