Methods and systems for cloud and wireless data exchanges for vehicle accident avoidance controls and notifications

Methods, computer systems, and servers for processing collision avoidance feedback to vehicles using vehicle-to-vehicle wireless communication, are provided. One method includes detecting proximity separation between a first vehicle and a second vehicle (e.g., and other vehicles within the proximity separation). At least one of the sensors of the first vehicle or the second vehicle determines that a proximity separation is less than a threshold distance. A pairing algorithm is triggered between electronics of the first and second vehicle to enable direct communication for data exchange between the first and second vehicles. The method includes triggering a warning to one or both of the first and second vehicles if the data exchange determines that a probability exists that a heading of the first or second vehicles will result in a collision between the first and second vehicles. The method may initiate corrective action by one or both of the first or second vehicles if the data exchange between the first and second vehicles increases the probability that the heading will result in a collision between the first and second vehicles.

The present disclosure provides a device for processing an image based on a vehicle velocity. The device includes: an image receiver configured to receive a raw image obtained from at least one camera installed in the vehicle; a velocity receiver configured to receive a velocity of the vehicle; an image extraction unit configured to extract a partial image corresponding to the received velocity from the raw image; and a display for displaying the extracted partial image. The device provides the driver with an image of the surrounding of the vehicle adapted to the driving situation without installing a driving unit such as a separate motor in the imaging unit. The device also provides different top view images according to the velocities of the vehicle, and provides top view images with less image distortion than conventional top view images.

DISPLAY SYSTEM OF VEHICLE AND METHOD OF DRIVING THE SAME
20190124299 · 2019-04-25 ·

A display system of a vehicle includes a plurality of cameras configured to capture images of front, rear, rear left, and rear right sides of the vehicle and generate image data. The system further includes a plurality of display panels configured to receive and display the image data, and at least one sensor configured to sense a pupil of a driver and at least one of a position, a body direction, or a head height of the driver. A processor determines a position of a field of view of the driver on the basis of the pupil position data and the posture data and generates a display correction value on the basis of the position of the field of view. A display correction device adjusts a horizontal tilt and a vertical tilt of each of the plurality of display panels on the basis of the display correction value.

Image generating device and image generating method
10266114 · 2019-04-23 · ·

An ECU captures an image of an imaging region around an own vehicle, and acquires image data, the imaging region being configured by a plurality of imaging areas. The ECU determines whether the object is present in the imaging areas, on the basis of detection results of an object present around the own vehicle. The ECU selects a target area to be displayed in an easy-to-see state from among the plurality of imaging areas, on the basis of determination results. The ECU reduces and corrects the image data of each imaging area such that an image of the target area is displayed in the easy-to-see state compared to an image of each imaging area to generate display image data.

VEHICULAR VISION SYSTEM WITH REAR BACKUP VIDEO DISPLAY
20190100142 · 2019-04-04 ·

A vision system for a vehicle includes a rear backup camera and a display device including a video display screen. Within two seconds of shifting the vehicle transmission into reverse gear, the display device displays rear backup video images derived from captured image data. Rear backup video images derived from captured image data can be displayed after shifting out of reverse gear until a threshold condition is met. A user input is actuatable by the driver of the vehicle to change display of rear backup video images to display of other video images. Display of the other video images occurs after a delay period has elapsed since shifting into reverse gear. During the delay period and commencing when the vehicle transmission was shifted into reverse gear, only rear backup video images derived from image data captured by the rear backup camera are displayed by the video display screen.

ON-VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROLLER, ON-VEHICLE DISPLAY SYSTEM, ON-VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM

An on-vehicle display control device includes a video data acquiring unit that acquires video data from multiple bird's-eye view video cameras for videos of a front, a rear, a left side, and a right side of a vehicle, and video data from rear side cameras for videos of rear left-side and rear right-side views of the vehicle; a bird's-eye view video generating unit that generates a bird's-eye view video by performing a viewpoint conversion and synthesizing processes on the videos of the bird's-eye view video cameras; a confirmation request detecting unit that detects a left-right situation confirmation request; and a display controller that displays, when the confirmation request is detected, on a display in a direction of the confirmation request, the video from the rear side camera in the confirmation request direction and the video in a direction corresponding to the confirmation request direction in the bird's-eye view video.

Apparatus to adjust a field of view displayed on an electronic mirror using an automobile state or a driver action

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.
