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.

A work vehicle has display devices and cameras coupled to display feeds at display areas. The cameras include a first set on the first side, second side, and central location relative to the first FOV and a second set on a first side, second side, and central location relative to the second FOV. A control system is configured to: in a first mode, display a first set of feeds from the first side, second side, and central location of the display areas so that the feeds are arranged at the first side, second side, and central location relative to the first FOV; and in a second mode, display a second set of feeds from the first side, second side, and central location of the second set at display areas so that the feeds are arranged at the first side, second side, and central location relative to the second FOV.

A vehicular multi-camera surround view system includes a front camera, a driver-side camera, a passenger-side camera and a rear backup camera. Image data captured by the cameras is conveyed to an electronic control unit, which is operable to combine image data conveyed from the front camera, the driver-side camera, the passenger-side camera and said the backup camera to form composite video images, and to output the composite video images to a display device of the vehicle. The electronic control unit is operable to process image data from the rear backup camera to form rear backup video images derived solely from image data captured by the rear backup camera and to output the rear backup video images to the display device. The rear backup video images are displayed no later than 2 seconds after the driver of the vehicle first changes propulsion of the vehicle during a new ignition cycle to reverse mode.

A method for navigating a vehicle automatically from a current location to a destination location without a human operator is disclosed. The method includes identifying a vehicle location using global positioning system (GPS) data regarding the vehicle. Also included is identifying that the vehicle location is near or at a parking location. Then, using mapping data defined for the parking location. The mapping data at least in part is used to find a path at the parking location to avoid a collision of the vehicle with at least one physical structure when the vehicle is automatically moved at the parking location. The method includes instructing the electronics of the vehicle to proceed with controlling the vehicle to automatically move from the current location to the destination location at the parking location. The electronics use as input at least part of the mapping data and sensor data collected from around the vehicle by at least two vehicle sensors. The path is configured to be updatable dynamically based on changes in the destination location or changes along the path. The destination location is a parking spot for the vehicle at the parking location.

A driving state monitoring device includes: an acquisition unit that acquires line-of-sight information indicating a line-of-sight of a driver and driving state information indicating a state of driving by the driver; a calculation unit that calculates a line-of-sight range of the driver in a predetermined driving state based on the line-of-sight information and the driving state information; and a determination unit that determines an insufficient visual observation range based on a recommended line-of-sight range and the line-of-sight range of the driver, the insufficient visual observation range being a range in which visual observation by the driver is insufficient, the recommended line-of-sight range being a line-of-sight range recommended for the predetermined driving state.

A camera monitor system includes: a capturing device; a displaying device; a detecting device detecting at least one of a state of an engine switch of a vehicle, a state of an engine, a state of a gear shift, an open/closed state of a door, and a seated state of a driver; and a control device controlling consumed power by the capturing device and the displaying device on the basis of at least one type of detection output of the detecting device. The control device controls at least one of the capturing device and the displaying device to a low power consumption state when a specified time elapses since the detection output of the detecting device is changed.

An abnormality in an imaging apparatus configured to generate an image or in an optical member located on an optical path for capturing the image can be accurately determined, irrespective of the environment. An image processing apparatus includes a first receiver configured to receive a first image, a second receiver configured to receive a second image having an imaging range that includes at least a portion of an imaging range of the first image, and a controller configured to determine an abnormality in the first image or the second image based on a common portion in the imaging ranges of the first image and the second image.

A rear-facing camera of an electronic mirror device acquires a rear image of an area to the rear of a vehicle, and a left rear-side facing camera and a right rear-side facing camera acquire rear side-images of areas to the rearward sides of the vehicle. An electronic mirror ECU then creates a normal synthesized image by synthesizing the rear image acquired by the rear-facing camera with the rear side-images acquired by the rear-side facing cameras, and then displays the normal synthesized image on a display unit. Additionally, the electronic mirror ECU creates a blind spot priority synthesized image in which the rear side-image that contains an image area corresponding to the object is superimposed onto the rear image, and switches the image displayed on the display unit to this blind spot priority synthesized image.

A periphery monitoring device includes: an acquisition section acquiring a steering angle of a vehicle; an image acquisition section acquiring a captured image from an image capturing section that captures an image of a periphery of the vehicle; a detection section acquiring detection information of an object around the vehicle; and a control section causing a display section to display a synthesized image including a vehicle image showing the vehicle and a periphery image showing the periphery of the vehicle based on the captured image. When the object is detected on a course of the vehicle traveling at the steering angle by a predetermined distance, the control section causes a virtual vehicle image to be displayed in the synthesized image to be superimposed on a course to the object with a position of the vehicle as a reference.
