Systems and methods for receiving a video feed from a trailer control module disposed in a vehicle trailer are described. One method includes aggregating a trailer front view, a trailer rear view, a trailer left view, and a trailer right view into an aggregated birds-eye view at a first control module disposed on the trailer, and sending the aggregated view to a vehicle towing the trailer via a single auxiliary video channel integrated into a trailer hitch wiring harness. The method further includes receiving the feed of the birds-eye view at the second control module disposed in the vehicle via the single auxiliary camera input channel, and displaying the trailer birds-eye view video feed at an output display disposed in a cabin of the towing vehicle. The birds-eye view may be output on a split screen in conjunction with a rear-view of the trailer, obtained from a vehicle camera system.

A monitoring system that monitors periphery of a shovel moving on ground and reports a tumble risk of the periphery of the shovel to an operator includes: a risk determination unit configured to determine a tumble risk in a case of movement of the shovel to the periphery based on distance information measured by a first sensor that is mounted on the shovel and measures a distance to a ground object including the ground in the periphery of the shovel and slope information measured by a second sensor measuring a slope of the shovel; and a display video generation unit configured to generate and output an image indicating the tumble risk determined by the risk determination unit.

A road abnormality detection apparatus includes: a memory; and a processor having hardware, wherein the processor is configured to: receive, from a traveling vehicle, a road image indicating an image of a surface of a road or a periphery of the road and image capturing position information indicating a position where the road image is captured; recognize a road facility included in the road image and a position of the road facility based on the road image and the image capturing position information; determine whether or not abnormality exists in the road facility by comparing the road facility included in the road image and correctness information that is prepared in advance; and accumulate, in the memory, facility position information indicating the position of the road facility that the abnormality exists in when it is determined that the abnormality exists in the road facility.

A sign recognition system according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure is configured to, when image data of a sign is captured by a vehicular camera, recognize one or more characters, which are included in the sign and belong to at least one specified character type, from the image data, thus extracting, from the image data, the recognized one or more characters. The sign recognition system is also configured to store a sign dataset in a sign database; the sign dataset includes (i) an installation-position information item indicative of the installation position of the sign, and (ii) an attribute information item about the sign.

In a system (1) comprising construction machine (2), transport vehicle (3) with loading space (4) and image-recording device (5, 36), wherein the image-recording device (5, 36) is arranged at the construction machine (2) and aligned, as a minimum, also towards the loading space (4) of the transport vehicle (3), it is specified for the following features to be achieved: that a reception and display device (18) is arranged at or in the transport vehicle (3), wherein the data recorded by the image-recording device (5, 36) are transmitted to the reception and display device (18) by means of a transmission device (46) arranged at the construction machine (2).

A method for assembling a vehicular camera includes providing a housing having a metal front housing portion and a metal rear housing portion. The front housing portion includes a lens barrel, and the rear housing portion includes a connector portion configured to connect to a vehicle wire harness. An imager circuit board is positioned at the front housing portion with an imager aligned with the at least one lens. The connector circuit board is retained via a spring element at a location spaced from the imager circuit board, with circuitry of the connector circuit board electrically connected to circuitry of the imager circuit board. The rear housing portion is joined with the front housing portion and the spring element engages the rear housing portion and the second side of the imager circuit board to retain the connector circuit board at the location spaced from the imager circuit board.

A vehicular control system includes a rear backup camera viewing at least rearward of the vehicle. With a trailer hitched to the vehicle, and based at least in part on image processing of captured image data during a backing-up maneuver, the image processor determines a distance between an axle of the trailer and the hitch of the vehicle and determines a trailer angle of the trailer hitched to the vehicle. During the backing-up maneuver of the trailer hitched to the vehicle, the vehicular control system determines a path of the trailer responsive to (i) a steering angle of the vehicle, (ii) the determined trailer angle of the trailer and (iii) the determined distance between the axle of the trailer and the hitch of the vehicle. The vehicular control system displays information to assist the driver in backing up the trailer hitched to the vehicle.

A vehicular trailer angle detection system includes a rear camera, a left-side camera, a right-side camera and a control having an image processor. With a trailer hitched at a vehicle, and while the vehicle is driven in a forward direction and towing the trailer, image data is captured by at least one of the cameras. The vehicular trailer angle detection system determines an expected location of the portion of the trailer based on provided vehicle-trailer parameters as the vehicle is driven forward and towing the trailer. The vehicular trailer angle detection system determines an actual location of the portion of the trailer via processing of captured image data as the vehicle is driven forward and towing the trailer. Responsive to an offset between the determined actual location of the portion of the trailer and the determined expected location, the vehicular trailer angle detection system accommodates the offset.

In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, a driver assist system for a vehicle includes a housing and a camera extending from the housing. A data processing circuit is mounted within the housing for processing and analyzing image data provided by the camera. A fluid filled heat sink transfers heat from the data processing circuit to the environment for cooling the data processing circuit.

Disclosed is a method of displaying content on a glass window of a vehicle, including capturing sight information of surrounding scenery of the vehicle during a first time period, by using at least one first image capturing device, identifying a request for displaying content related to the sight information from a user during a second time period after the first time period, and displaying the content related to the sight information on the glass window of the vehicle based on the request.
