An imaging system according to the present disclosure includes: an imaging device that is mounted in a vehicle, and captures and generates an image of a peripheral region of the vehicle; and a processing device that is mounted in the vehicle, and executes processing related to a function of controlling the vehicle on the basis of the image. The imaging device includes: a first control line, a first voltage generator that applies a first voltage to the first control line, a first signal line, a plurality of pixels that applies a pixel voltage to the first signal line, a first dummy pixel that applies a voltage corresponding to the first voltage of the first control line to the first signal line in a first period, a converter including a first converter that performs AD conversion on the basis of a voltage of the first signal line in the first period to generate a first digital code, and a diagnosis section that performs diagnosis processing on the basis of the first digital code. The above-described processing device restricts the function of controlling the vehicle on the basis of a result of the diagnosis processing.

A vehicle system to assist a driver during a potential passing event of a passing vehicle includes a transceiver and a display. A passing assist module in communication with the transceiver and the display is configured to cause the transceiver to establish a wireless connection with a remote transceiver of a target vehicle and to receive a remote video signal from a camera and the remote transceiver associated with the target vehicle and cause the display of the passing vehicle to output at least one of a video signal and an image based on the remote video signal from the target vehicle.

An image processing unit repeatedly acquires a captured bird's-eye image which is obtained by bird's-eye conversion of a captured image of the surroundings of a vehicle. An image processing unit acquires a history image that is a bird's-eye image corresponding to a predetermined area in front in the traveling direction at each timing determined according to a predetermined condition. The image processing unit acquires a history image at every predetermined first cycle if an unstable condition related to a behavior of the vehicle is not satisfied. If an unstable condition is satisfied, the history image is acquired at a later timing than the first cycle. The image processing unit creates a bird's-eye image for display by extracting an area corresponding to a non-imaging area of the latest captured bird's-eye image from among the accumulated history images, and combining the extracted area with the non-imaging area.

A method and system for recording and reporting license plate indicia are provided. The method includes receiving an input command from a user of a vehicle requesting a capture of an image of license plate indicia of a second vehicle, capturing, via one or more cameras, one or more image of the license plate of the second vehicle, determining, using the processing circuitry, a license plate number from the captured one or more images of the license plate, and displaying the recognized license plate number on a display of the vehicle. The method further includes detecting a location of the vehicle and storing the determined license plate number, the location of the vehicle, and the image of the license plate indicia in an audio head unit or in a navigation unit.

A speed limit violation control system of the present disclosure includes: imaging units (320, 330) which image a running vehicle; recorder (420) that records one of videos imaged by the imaging units (320, 330); and controller (360) that calculates a speed of the vehicle based on the videos of imaging units (320, 330) and determines a starting point and an ending point of the one of the videos, which is to be recorded in recorder (420), based on the calculated speed.

A vehicular detection device configured to be mounted to at least one of a right or a left side of a vehicle body includes a detection unit configured to detect an object. An outermost part of the vehicular detection device in a right and left direction is flush with or more inward than an outer surface of a side surface part of the vehicle body in the right and left direction.

An embodiment vehicle includes a side mirror, a communicator, and a controller. The communicator may be configured to transmit a search signal to a remote controller through the plurality of antennas and to receive a response signal transmitted from the remote controller as a response to the search signal. The controller may be electrically coupled to the side mirror, configured to determine whether a driver is present within a search area of the first antenna according to the driver carrying the remote controller and approaching the parked vehicle being detected, determine a location of the driver based on an intensity of the response signal received from the remote controller as a response to the search signal transmitted from the first antenna, and signal the side mirror whether to convert into a folded state or an unfolded state based on the determined location of the driver.

An information processing apparatus capable of assisting safe driving of a vehicle at a place such as an intersection where the view from the vehicle is obstructed or restricted is provided. A detection processing unit detects a traffic mirror in an image and an object in the traffic mirror on the basis of image information representing an image captured by an image capturing apparatus mounted in a vehicle. And a calculating unit calculates a difference between a size of the detected traffic mirror and a reference size and calculates a size of the object by using the calculated difference. Driving assist information for the vehicle is generated on the basis of the calculated size of the object, and the generated driving assist information is output.

An image convertor converts an original image captured by a front camera. The original image includes a road surface around a vehicle. A three-dimensional object detector detects from a virtual image a three-dimensional object having a height from the road surface. A vehicle accessibility determiner determines whether the vehicle can access to the inside of the detected three-dimensional object or to a clearance among other three-dimensional objects.

A remote control apparatus capable of communicating with a control apparatus of an autonomously running work vehicle via a communication apparatus, the remote control apparatus comprising a communication apparatus, a control apparatus, a display apparatus, and cameras for obtaining images of the front and rear, wherein the display apparatus is provided with at least a remote control region for controlling the autonomously running work vehicle, a peripheral image region for displaying images captured by the cameras, and a work status display region, wherein the peripheral image region is provided with a frontal view and a rear view.
