A vehicular display system shows a view image including a blind area with superior visibility. Embodiments include an imaging unit that captures an image of a surrounding area of a vehicle; an image processing unit that converts the image into a view image of the surrounding area of the vehicle seen from inside a cabin; and a display unit. The image processing unit generates a rear-view image acquired when an area behind the vehicle is seen from a first virtual viewpoint located in the cabin, and a front-view image acquired when an area in front of the vehicle is seen from a second virtual viewpoint located behind the first virtual viewpoint in the cabin. The display unit shows the rear-view image when the vehicle travels backward, the front-view image when the vehicle travels forward, and shows both of the view images at substantially the same angle of view.

An in-trailer monitoring system includes one or more surround view cameras mounted within a trailer having a cargo area, a visualization display disposed within a vehicle, and an electronic control unit (ECU) in communication with the visualization display and the one or more surround view cameras, the ECU configured to periodically display: an image from the one or more surround view cameras, and data to the display for a predetermined amount of time.

In general, techniques are described by which a computing system dynamically and automatically adjusts an orientation of one or more mirrors of a vehicle. A computing system includes at least one processor and memory. The memory includes instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to determine a current orientation of a mirror of a vehicle and determine a preferred orientation of the mirror based upon a set of data points. Execution of the instructions also causes the at least one processor to output a command to adjust the mirror to the preferred orientation in response to determining the current orientation is not the preferred orientation.

An automatic panning system and method adapted for a vehicle with an attached trailer. The automatic panning system comprises an image capturing means adapted to capture image data with a view of the trailer and the automatic panning system is adapted to analyze the image data to identify at least one elongated element of the trailer, project a vector in the image data based on said elongated element, establish at least one reference vector, and identify an interception point of the reference vector and said projected vector.

This disclosure relates to a system and method for detecting vehicle events and generating review criteria based on the detected vehicle events. Some or all of the system may be installed in a vehicle and/or be otherwise coupled with a vehicle. The system may include one or more sensors configured to generate output signals conveying information related to the vehicle and/or multiple video capture devices configured to acquire visual output information representing a vehicle environment. In some implementations, the system may determine a vehicle event type based on the information conveyed by the output signals. The system may generate review criteria, which correspond to the vehicle event, based on the vehicle event type and the fields of view corresponding to the video capture devices.

Systems and methods for obscuring glares that are present on a windshield, mirror other surface of a vehicle are presented. The systems and methods comprise first and second sets of CCD cameras, where the first set is used to provide information about a source of a glare and the second set is used to provide information about eyes of a driver, for example. Based on the information gathered, locations of the source of the glare and the driver's eyes can be triangulated, and a position where light from the source of the glare is incident on the windshield or other surface can be determined. A translucent spot can be generated at that position to obscure the glare (light) from reaching the driver's eyes.

A method for operating a control unit including a start-up of the control unit in order to bring it into an operative state, and a first start sequence is optionally carried out during the start-up of the control unit in order to set the control unit to a first mode, or a second start sequence is carried out in order to set the control unit to a second mode, the first start sequence including an additional self-test in contrast to the second start sequence.

The invention relates to a method for providing an image representation (15) of an environment (7) of a vehicle (1), wherein the environment (7) of the vehicle (1) is captured at least partly, an image representation (15) of at least one first part (10a) of the captured environment (7) is provided within a defined viewport (10) from a defined perspective (11), wherein the image representation (15) includes a vehicle representation (14) representing the vehicle (1), and wherein the image representation (15) is displayed on a display device (12). Further, when providing the image representation (15) at least one second part (16a) of the captured environment (7) is represented in form of a mirrored image (18) of the at least one second part (16a) of the environment (7) on a defined region (17, 19, 20) of the vehicle representation (14).

A display system of a work machine includes a storage that stores time-series work machine motion information including motion information of the work machine, a motion image generator that generates a motion image of the work machine based on the work machine motion information, and a display that shows the motion image.

An image display apparatus for a shovel that includes a lower-part traveling body, an upper-part turning body turnably placed on the lower-part traveling body, and an attachment mounted on the upper-part turning body, and performs work in a work area by driving the attachment, includes an image display part configured to display the work area to be subjected to the work. An image of the work area captured with an image capturing device is subjected to image processing to add and indicate a distribution of depressions and elevations of the work area, and is displayed on the image display part.
