A detection system for vehicles adapted to record objects within a scenery at least in problematic viewing conditions includes a camera system establishing an optical path from a light entrance aperture via a lens system to an image recording unit with the image recording unit being adapted to record visible and IR light one or more of reflected or emitted from the scenery comprising at least one object, an IR filter arranged within the optical path to block at least a first part of the IR light not being the at least one object related from reaching the image recording unit, and a conversion filter arranged within the optical path to convert at least a second part of the IR light being the at least one object related to visible light of an image enhancing wavelength range.

Described herein is an imaging system (200) for imaging a scene. The system (200) includes a camera (106) having an image sensor for capturing images of the scene in both the visible and infrared wavelength ranges and at least one light source (108) configured to emit a beam of light to selectively illuminate the scene with infrared radiation during image capture by the camera (106). The system (200) also includes an electrically controllable filter (203) being configured to pass infrared wavelengths to the image sensor and selectively pass or filter visible light received at the image sensor based on a control signal.

A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a dual mode illumination module having a first light emitting diode (LED) operable to emit visible white light when electrically powered and a second LED operable to emit non-visible light when electrically powered. The first LED, when the vehicle is parked and the first LED is electrically powered, emits visible white light to provide visible ground illumination at a ground region at least partially along the side portion of the vehicle. Visible ground illumination by the vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly at the ground region is locked-out during movement of the vehicle. The second LED, when the second LED is electrically powered, emits non-visible light to provide non-visible illumination for a camera viewing exterior and at least sideward of the vehicle. Non-visible light emission by the second LED is not locked-out during movement of the vehicle.

A camera mirror system for a vehicle includes, among other things, a camera that has a field of view, a display in communication with the camera that is configured to depict the field of view, and an infrared light-emitting diode (IR LED) that is configured to illuminate the field of view. The IR LED is configured to operate at a temperature. The system further includes a controller that is configured to provide at least one of a warning or an IR LED shut down command in response to the temperature exceeding a threshold.

An information processing device (10) includes: an acquisition unit (181) that acquires an image captured by an imaging unit (13); a recognition unit (182) that recognizes attributes of an object shown in the image captured by the imaging unit (13); and a generation unit (183) that generates a bird's-eye view map showing the attributes of the object on the basis of the image captured by the imaging unit (13) and information on the attributes of the object recognized by the recognition unit.

A vehicle camera telemetry system has a remotely mountable camera apparatus which has a stem having a magnet for magnetic affixation to a metallic body of a vehicle in use. The apparatus further comprises a camera device connected from the distal end of the stem by an adjustable coupling. The stem may further be telescopic for length adjustment so as, for example, extend the length of the stem from less than 22 cm to greater than 29 cm. The camera device has an image sensor and a wireless transmitter for transmitting image data obtained therefrom to a connected mobile device using a wireless connection, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. As such, in use, the camera apparatus may be affixed to various parts of a vehicle and/or an associated trailer, caravan or the like.

An apparatus to improve a situational awareness of a pilot or driver controlling a vehicle using a control appliance. The control appliance includes a display for depicting surroundings of the vehicle, and the vehicle includes a missile warner and a sensor for fine tracking (FTS) configured to provide high-resolution images for a tracking of an approaching missile detected by the missile warner. The apparatus also includes a control unit, configured to couple a directable line-of-sight of the FTS with the display, and to employ the high-resolution images of the FTS to improve the depiction of the surroundings of the vehicle on the display.

A multi-camera vision system utilized onboard a work vehicle includes, among other components, vehicle cameras and a display device utilized within an operator station of the work vehicle. The vehicle cameras provide vehicle camera feeds of the work vehicle's surrounding environment, as captured from different vantage points. A controller, which is coupled to the vehicle cameras and to the display device, is configured to: (i) generate, on the display device, a multi-camera display including framing icons, gallery display areas within the framing icons, and a main display area; (ii) identify a currently-selected vehicle camera feed and one or more non-selected vehicle camera feeds from the multiple vehicle camera feeds; and (iii) present the currently-selected vehicle camera feed in the main display area of the multi-camera display, while concurrently presenting the one or more non-selected vehicle camera feeds in a corresponding number of the gallery display areas.

A vehicular vision system includes an attaching structure configured to attach at an in-cabin side of a vehicle windshield. The attaching structure includes a camera module receiving portion and a stray light shield. A camera module includes a circuit board, an imager and a lens. The camera module is configured to be disposed at the attaching structure so that the imager views through the vehicle windshield and forward of the vehicle when the camera module is disposed at the attaching structure attached at the in-cabin side of the vehicle windshield. With the attaching structure attached at the in-cabin side of the vehicle windshield, the camera module is inserted into the camera module receiving portion of the attaching structure to attach the camera module at the vehicle windshield with the circuit board of the camera module being vertically oriented when so inserted and attached.
