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.

An information processing device includes a detection unit, a display control unit, and a determination unit. The display control unit switches a composite image to a generated image, and causes a display device to display the generated image when the determination unit determines that a predetermined condition has been satisfied under the state in which the detection unit has detected that a travel direction of a vehicle is backward.

In accordance with driving information that is obtained by a driving situation detecting sensor 13 and is related to the driving situation of a vehicle, a display control unit 20 sets the image area to be presented to the driver DR of the vehicle from an image obtained by a peripheral area imaging unit 11 imaging a peripheral area around the vehicle, and, in accordance with the driving situation, controls the visual recognition range in the peripheral area the driver DR can visually recognize from the image presented by a display unit 50 via a mirror 55. When the driving situation is such that the orientation of a cabin differs from the orientation of a trailer portion, for example, the image area to be presented is set so that the outer side of the trailer portion is included in the visual recognition range even though the orientation of the cabin differs from the orientation of the trailer portion. Thus, a desired peripheral area around the vehicle can be readily viewed.

Embodiments are disclosed for an example in-vehicle computing system for a vehicle. In some embodiments, a personalized interactive experience within the vehicle is provided responsive to identification of a user in the vehicle. The user may be identified based on biometric data detection, which may include eye tracking, pupil monitoring, and head tracking in some examples. Features of the in-vehicle computing system may be selectively provided based on the identified user and/or learned data relating to the user and/or conditions of the vehicle.

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 apparatus comprising an interface to a sensor and a processor. The sensor may be configured to generate a video signal having a first field of view based on a targeted view from a vehicle. The processor may be configured to (A) receive the video signal from the interface, (B) generate a second field of view from the video signal based on (i) the first field of view, (ii) a shape of a display and (iii) an input and (C) present the second field of view from the video signal to the display. The second field of view is a cropped version of the first field of view. The second field of view is generated by adjusting video data in the first field of view. Portions of the first field of view not in the second field of view are hidden portions of the video signal.

The present disclosure provides a vehicle display device, configured to be mounted on a sun visor frame, including: a controller for receiving surrounding images, labeling a reference object in the surrounding images, and determining a first image to be displayed from the surrounding images according to a comparison of the reference object and a real object corresponding to the reference object; a non-transparent display screen for displaying the first image in a driver's sightline, wherein the non-transparent display screen is connected to the controller; and a plurality of image acquisition modules including a front camera, two side view cameras, and a rear view camera for capturing front images, left-side images, right-side images, and rear images of a vehicle.

A camera monitor system includes: left and right capturing devices; left and right displaying devices; and a control device detecting an abnormality of each of the left and right capturing devices and controlling a displaying state of each of the left and right displaying devices based on the detected abnormality. The control device individually controls each of the left and right displaying devices to be in a low power consumption state in accordance with a mode of the detected abnormality.

A vehicle and trailer display system is disclosed. The display system includes a plurality of imaging devices disposed on the vehicle, each having a field of view. The display system further includes a screen disposed in the vehicle operable to display images from the imaging devices. A controller is in communication with the imaging devices and the screen and is operable to receive a hitch angle corresponding to the angle between the vehicle and the trailer. Based on the hitch angle, the controller is operable to select a field of view of an imaging device to display on the screen.

Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media are presented for providing a mixed-reality scene involving a lead vehicle and a following vehicle. The system may present a sequence of mixed-reality images to a driver of the following vehicle, resulting from merging (a) an image captured by a camera aboard the lead vehicle and (b) an image captured by a camera aboard the following vehicle, to generate a merged image. The system may discontinue or diminish mixed-reality content of the sequence of mixed-reality images in response to one or more detected conditions, which may comprise detection of an object between the lead vehicle and the following vehicle.
