A load-monitoring system includes a vehicle processor and a camera mounted in a trailer. The vehicle, via the processor, displays a first image of a trailer load, received from a trailer-mounted camera and receives selection of a monitoring point on the image, via a touch-sensitive user interface displaying the image or other selection mechanism. The vehicle also receives selection of a fixed point on the image, via the user interface. If the monitoring point moves more than a threshold amount, relative to the fixed point, for example, in subsequent images captured by the camera, the vehicle alerts the driver.

A dynamic imaging system is disclosed. The dynamic imaging system may comprise one or more imager, one or more input device, a controller, and/or a display. Each imager may be operable to capture a video stream having a field of view. In some embodiments, the controller may articulate the imager or crop the field of view to change the field of view in response to signals from the one or more input devices. For example, the signal may relate to the vehicle's speed. In other embodiments, the controller may apply a warp to the field of view. The warp may be applied in response to signals from the one or more input devices. In yet other embodiments, video streams from one or more imagers may be stitched together by the controller. Further, the controller may likewise move the stitch line in response to signals from the or more input devices.

A vehicle includes at least one camera configured to obtain images around the vehicle, a display configured to display an output image based on the images around the vehicle, an inputter configured to receive a user's command, and a controller configured to determine a display mode of the output image based on the user's command and change an exposure value of the camera based on brightness information of a predetermined area corresponding to the display mode.

An electronic mirror system for a vehicle includes a rear imaging device, a left and right pair of side-rear imaging devices, a display device, an anomaly treatment device, memory, and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor causes a composite image in which a rear image and side-rear images are composited to be displayed, and detects an anomaly occurring at any one of the imaging devices. In a case in which an anomaly is detected, the processor generates a substitute image based on a captured image captured by another of the imaging devices, and causes the substitute image to be displayed. And, in a case in which the one of the imaging devices at which the anomaly is detected, is restored to the normal state by the anomaly treatment device, the processor causes the composite image to be displayed instead of the substitute image.

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 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.

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.

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.

Disclosed are an apparatus for recording a driving image of a vehicle and a method thereof. The apparatus includes a photographing device that photographs the driving image of the vehicle, an impact sensor that senses an impact amount applied to the vehicle, and a controller that determines whether to record a driving image corresponding to the impact amount sensed by the impact sensor based on accident exception point information.

An imaging and display device for a vehicle includes: a display unit configured to display a captured image which is obtained through image capturing by an imaging unit that images a rear side of the vehicle; and a control unit configured to perform view angle switching control of switching an angle of view of the captured image displayed on the display unit to a wider angle than a current angle of view when a predetermined wide-angle condition is satisfied as a distance between an object on the rear side of the vehicle and the vehicle decreases and switching the angle of view to an original angle of view when a predetermined return condition for returning to the original angle of view is satisfied.
