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.

In one approach, a method includes: displaying, to a user of a first vehicle, image data obtained using a first field of view of a camera of the first vehicle, where the camera collects the image data for objects located outside of the first vehicle; detecting, by at least one processing device of the first vehicle, a second vehicle; determining, by the one processing device, whether the second vehicle is within a predetermined region relative to the first vehicle; and in response to determining that the second vehicle is within the predetermined region, displaying image data obtained using a second field of view of the camera.

A vehicular vision system includes a plurality of digital cameras disposed at a vehicle and a display device having a video display screen disposed in an interior cabin of the vehicle and viewable by a driver of the vehicle. Rear backup video images derived from image data captured by a rear backup digital camera are displayed on the video display screen no later than two seconds after the driver of the vehicle first changes propulsion of the vehicle during a new ignition cycle to reverse mode to commence a backup event. Until the backup event is completed, the video display screen displays rear backup video images. Image data conveyed from the plurality of digital cameras is combined to form composite video images that are output for display at the video display screen to provide a bird's eye view that enhances the driver's understanding of areas surrounding the equipped vehicle.

A vehicular vision system includes a video display screen disposed behind a transflective mirror reflector of an electrochromic mirror reflective element of an interior rearview mirror assembly. Image data captured by a rearward-viewing camera is provided to the mirror assembly as digital signals carried by a coaxial cable. Electronic circuitry of the mirror assembly includes (i) auto dimming circuitry and (ii) video processing circuitry. The video display screen (i) displays at a left display region video images derived from captured image data to display a scene occurring in a left side lane, (ii) displays at a right display region video images derived from captured image data to display a scene occurring in a right side lane and (iii) displays at a middle display region video images derived from captured image data to display a scene occurring rearward of the vehicle in the lane the equipped vehicle is travelling in.

An imaging device of the present disclosure includes an event detection sensor that detects an event, and a control unit that controls the event detection sensor. Then, the control unit switches a resolution of the event detection sensor depending on a traveling state of a mobile body. Furthermore, the imaging system of the present disclosure includes an event detection sensor that detects an event; a control unit that switches a resolution of the event detection sensor depending on a traveling state of a mobile body; and an object recognition unit that performs event recognition on the basis of an event signal output from the event detection sensor.

An video analysis computing system driving analysis may include a camera associated with a first vehicle and having a viewing angle capable of capturing a video of one or more other vehicles in proximity to the first vehicle, a first memory location communicatively coupled to the camera, wherein the first memory location stores video data captured by the camera, and an evaluation module including a processor executing instructions that cause the processor to: evaluate the captured video stored in the first memory location to determine whether a driving event performed by a second vehicle has occurred, assign, in response to an identified driving event performed by the second vehicle, a driving event rating to a video showing the identified driving event, wherein the driving event rating may be calculated, at least in part, using a crowd-sourced driving event rating obtained after posting the video to a social network.

A method for the automated activation of a vision support system of a vehicle, in particular of a motor vehicle, has improved automatic activation in particular with regard to the prevention of false-negative and false-positive activation. The method detects an activation gesture formed by a movement of the head and/or torso of a vehicle user, in particular of a driver; determines, using the detected activation gesture, a field of vision desired by the vehicle user; and activates the part of the vision support system which images the desired field of vision.

A vehicular vision system includes a rear backup camera and a display device including a video display screen. The rear backup camera is electrically powered no later than 200 milliseconds after a driver of the vehicle shifts the vehicle transmission into reverse gear to commence a backup event. A valid video signal is available from the rear backup camera no later than 500 milliseconds after electricity is provided to the camera. The vehicular vision system displays on the video display screen stable rear backup video images derived from captured image data no later than two seconds after the driver shifts the vehicle transmission into reverse gear. Commencing when the vehicle transmission was shifted into reverse gear to begin the backup event, only rear backup video images derived from image data captured by the rear backup camera are displayed on the video display screen for the duration of the backup event.

A work vehicle includes circuitry configured to determine a focused area based on signals detected by work and travel situation detection sensors. The circuitry is configured to determine a prioritized display image among images captured by cameras, the prioritized display image including the focused area. The circuitry is configured to compose the images captured by the cameras by view-point converting the images to generate an overhead image around the vehicle body. The circuitry is configured to generate at least one monitor display image including a first display area in which the overhead image is displayed and a second display area in which the prioritized display image is displayed.

Disclosed are a vehicle and a control method for the same. The vehicle includes a display unit configured to display information, a sensing unit configured to detect a moving object in the vicinity of the vehicle, and a controller configured to judge the motion characteristics of the moving object based on sensing information regarding the moving object provided from the sensing unit, the motion characteristics of the moving object including a speed and a movement direction of the moving object, to set a dangerous area for the moving object based on the motion characteristics of the moving object, the dangerous area having a size and a shape corresponding to the motion characteristics of the moving object, and to display an image indicating the dangerous area on the display unit.
