CONVEX REARVIEW MIRROR AND MONITOR WITH REVERSIBLE BACK/SOCKET MOUNT
A rear-view mirror and modular monitor system and method include an interior mirror that embeds a modular monitor behind see-through mirror glass. In some embodiments, the system includes multiple cameras, some in the vehicle, bus and/or truck, as well as some cameras outside the vehicle, bus and/or truck, advantageously providing the driver an opportunity to view what is happening, for example, in the back rows of the bus and/or cabin, while also using the mirror to look at objects in the bus and/or cabin that are visible using the mirror. The rear-view mirror and modular monitor system is configured to be easily assembled and/or disassembled when necessary for maintenance and/or to replace parts.
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.
DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE AND DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD
A display control device is disposed in a vehicle in which a camera photographing a first captured image indicating an image on a rear right side of the vehicle and a display displaying the first captured image are mounted. The display control device includes an image acquiring unit acquiring the first captured image from the camera and a display control unit controlling the first captured image displayed on the display. The display control unit causes the display to display one of a narrow angle image indicating a part of the first captured image and a wide angle image indicating an image in a range wider than the narrow angle image in the first captured image and to display the first captured image such that a size of a first region in displaying the wide angle image is larger than a size of the first region displaying the narrow angle image.
DRIVER ASSIST APPARATUS
The driver assist apparatus comprises an ECU. When a customization button is touched while the ECU is displaying a surrounding monitoring screen that includes a surrounding image and the customization button, the ECU starts displaying a customization screen in place of the surrounding monitoring screen. When a predetermined condition is satisfied while the ECU is displaying the customization screen, the ECU starts displaying an alert screen in place of the customization screen.
Control device and method for image display
A control device and a method for image display are provided. The control device includes a mirror display unit, a backward camera unit, a reference data detection module, and an image processing module. The mirror display unit includes a mirror and a display module. The mirror generates a first image via reflection. The display module has a display surface at least partially overlapping with the mirror. The backward camera unit captures a second image, and the area of the first image is within the area of the second image. The reference data detection module generates reference data. The image processing module determines an area correspondence between the first image and the second image according to the reference data, and generates a display image from the second image based on the area correspondence. The display module displays the display image when receiving a switch command.
PERIPHERY MONITORING DEVICE AND PERIPHERY MONITORING PROGRAM
A periphery monitoring device includes: an image obtaining unit configured to obtain a captured image captured by an image capturing unit provided in a vehicle so as to image an area including a road surface on periphery of the vehicle; and a restoration control unit configured to control, when the captured image includes a spotted area caused by a spot on an optical system of the image capturing unit, whether to execute restoration processing of outputting a restored image restored from the captured image so as to simulatively reproduce a state where the optical system of the image capturing unit does not have the spot by removing the spotted area, according to a positional relationship between a road surface area where the road surface is captured and the spotted area in the captured image.
Display system, vehicle control apparatus, display control method, and storage medium for storing program
A display system comprises: a shooting unit configured to shoot a periphery of a vehicle; a display unit configured to display an image shot by the shooting unit: and a display control unit configured to switch a display mode of display of the display unit between a first display mode for displaying a first display region and a second display mode for displaying a second display region that is different from the first display region. When the display mode is switched to the second display mode in a state in which a display range of the display unit has been adjusted in the first display mode, the display control unit displays the second display region based on an adjusted display range.
Visual range adapter by head detection for A-pillar
A method, an apparatus and a system for displaying an image of a vehicle blind spot are provided. The apparatus is coupled to at least one external camera disposed outside the vehicle, at least one internal camera disposed inside the vehicle with a lens facing towards a driver, and at least one display disposed inside the vehicle. The method comprises capturing an image of the external environment of the vehicle by the external camera as an external image, capturing an image including the driver by the internal camera as an internal image, recognizing a face of the driver and a displacement of the face in the internal image, and adjusting a position of an ROI in the external image according to the recognized displacement, to display an image of the ROI on the display corresponding to the external camera. The displayed image of the external of the vehicle may be adjusted according to the posture or the angle of view of the driver, to have the image of the current blind spot by the driver shown correctly.
Vehicular safety video system
The vehicle safety video system is an electrical device. The vehicle safety video system is configured for use with a vehicle. The vehicle comprises an anterior side, a posterior side, and anterior windshield, a posterior windshield, and a VECU. The VECU further comprises a VECU brake signal. The vehicle safety video system captures one or more captured images from an anterior field of view of the vehicle. The vehicle safety video system displays the one or more captured images through the posterior windshield. The vehicle safety video system displays the one or more captured images such that the posterior windshield remains semitransparent during the display of the one or more captured images. The vehicle safety video system comprises a video circuit and the vehicle. The vehicle contains the video circuit. The video circuit captures and displays the one or more captured images.
System and method for providing front-oriented visual information to vehicle driver
A camera system is installed on the front end of a vehicle, either on the left front, the right front, or both sides. The camera is linked via wired or wireless connection to an onboard computer and a navigation display that is located within the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The driver reviews a visual description on the display of any oncoming traffic in the form of motor vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, animals and the like on the navigation display via a single screen, split screen or alternating screens. The camera system can include a speed sensor that detects when the vehicle reaches a threshold speed to activate or de-activate the camera. Alternatively, the computer can activate the system when a tum signal is activated, and de-activate the system when the tum signal is no longer activated. This camera system can be retrofitted into older vehicles.
