A method is described for ascertaining a state of a vehicle light of a vehicle. The method includes a step of reading in and a step of evaluating. In the step of reading in, an image signal is read in that includes a camera image including a vehicle area of a detected vehicle. In the step of evaluating, the image signal is evaluated by using an artificial teachable model, in particular an artificial neural network. Here, at least two state categories, each representing a state of the vehicle light of the vehicle, are differentiated. That state category is ascertained as the evaluation result which represents the instantaneous state of the vehicle light of the vehicle.

A dynamic rollover zone detection system that is easily attached to mobile machinery and dynamically detects a rollover zone around the mobile machinery. The system detects humans and objects within the rollover zone using one or more pre-trained machine learning models in order to prevent accidents and potential collisions between machinery and people or objects in the rollover zone. If a human or obstacle is identified in the rollover zone, an alert or warning is provided and/or the mobile machinery is disabled.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of recreational vehicles (RVs), and provides an RV monitoring system. The RV monitoring system includes a display screen, and a rear-view camera assembly, a side-view camera assembly, a door-top camera assembly, and a reversing camera that are electrically connected to the display screen, where the display screen is detachably disposed inside an RV, the reversing camera is detachably disposed at a lower end of the tail of the RV, the rear-view camera assembly is mounted at a stop lamp of the RV, the door-top camera assembly is disposed on the top of a door of the RV, and the side-view camera assembly is disposed at a turn lamp of the RV.

A vehicular trailer assist system includes a rearward viewing camera viewing a trailer hitched at a fifth wheel hitch at a bed of the vehicle. With the trailer hitched to the vehicle, the vehicular trailer assist system transforms fisheye-view frames of image data captured by the rearward viewing camera into bird's-eye view frames of image data. The vehicular trailer assist system determines the fifth wheel hitch within a transformed bird's-eye view frame of image data. The vehicular trailer assist system warps the transformed bird's-eye view frame of image data, which includes (i) an X-axis that indicates change in a trailer angle of the trailer relative to the vehicle and (ii) a Y-axis that indicates distance from the fifth wheel hitch. The vehicular trailer assist system, using the X-axis of the warped transformed bird's-eye view frame of image data, determines the trailer angle of the trailer relative to the vehicle.

Systems and methods for logging images using integrated cameras, lights, and sensors of a vehicle are provided. The system may include a handheld actuator, e.g., a key fob, having a button for initiating the taking of a photo or the start or stop of the recording of a video by the integrated cameras of the vehicle. Moreover, the actuator may select lighting settings such that the integrated lights of the vehicle may illuminate the vicinity of the vehicle to create a flash effect for a photo, or illuminate the vicinity of the vehicle for a video. The image data captured by the cameras may be at least temporarily stored, and transmitted to, e.g., a mobile device within a predetermined range of the vehicle.

A vehicle includes: a transceiver configured to communicate with another vehicle; an acceleration sensor configured to detect an impact of the vehicle; a camera configured to acquire first image data of an external field of view of the vehicle; and a controller configured to determine whether an impact of the vehicle with a first vehicle has occurred based on an output value of the acceleration sensor, perform image processing for the first vehicle that generated the impact of the vehicle based on the first image data when is the controller determines that the impact of the vehicle has occurred, and to control the transceiver to request the another vehicle for second image data corresponding to an occurrence time of the impact of the vehicle when the plate number of the first vehicle is not identified based on the image processing.

A method for dynamically calibrating a vehicular trailer angle detection system includes providing at least a rear camera at a rear portion of the vehicle. A trailer is hitched at the vehicle and the vehicle is driven forward while towing the trailer. The control determines an expected location of a portion of the trailer based on provided vehicle-trailer parameters as the vehicle is driven forward and towing the trailer. An actual location of the portion of the trailer is determined via processing at the control of captured image data as the equipped vehicle is driven forward and towing the trailer. The vehicular trailer angle detection system is calibrated responsive to determination, via processing at the control of captured image data as the equipped vehicle is driven forward and towing the trailer, that the determined actual location of the portion of the trailer is not at the determined expected location.

A display control device includes a display configured to display a peripheral image indicating a peripheral situation of a host vehicle in a display range viewed from a predetermined virtual viewpoint and a display range determiner configured to determine a viewpoint position of the virtual viewpoint, an angle of view from the virtual viewpoint, or a gaze direction from the virtual viewpoint in accordance with a traveling condition of the host vehicle.

A vehicular display system shows an image of a surrounding area of a vehicle in a superior visibility mode. Embodiments include an imaging unit that captures an image of the surrounding area of the vehicle; an image processing unit that converts the image captured by the imaging unit into a view image of the area seen from a predetermined virtual viewpoint in the cabin; and a display unit that shows the view image generated by the image processing unit. The image processing unit can generate, as the view image, a first view image acquired when a first direction is seen from the virtual viewpoint, and a second view image acquired when a second direction differing from the first direction is seen from the virtual viewpoint. Each of the first and second view images is shown at a horizontal angle of view that corresponds to a stable visual field.
