There is disclosed a viewing system coupled to a motor vehicle having a frame having a roof, at least one support, and a body with the at least one support supporting the roof over the body. The system can comprise at least one camera, at least one screen coupled to the support. In addition each camera is coupled to the at least one support and wherein said at least one screen is in communication with the first set of cameras, wherein said at least one screen displays images presented by the first set of cameras. This device can provide additional view in the blind spot of the vehicle.

A device control system includes a first input device and a gaze detector. The first input device allows a command to be entered with respect to a target device selected from one or more devices. The gaze detector detects a user's gaze direction. The gaze detector determines, based on the gaze direction detected by the gaze detector, one device, selected from the one or more devices, to be the target device. A gaze detector makes the target device change, based on the gaze direction detected by the gaze detector, the type of processing to be performed in accordance with the command entered through the first input device.

A dynamic imaging system is disclosed. The dynamic imaging system may comprise one or more imager, one or more input device, a controller, and/or a display. Each imager may be operable to capture a video stream having a field of view. In some embodiments, the controller may articulate the imager or crop the field of view to change the field of view in response to signals from the one or more input devices. For example, the signal may relate to the vehicle's speed. In other embodiments, the controller may apply a warp to the field of view. The warp may be applied in response to signals from the one or more input devices. In yet other embodiments, video streams from one or more imagers may be stitched together by the controller. Further, the controller may likewise move the stitch line in response to signals from the or more input devices.

A shading device for a vehicle, comprising a dimming glass plate capable of changing a light transmittance thereof, wherein the dimming glass plate is provided at a portion of a vehicular window glass to separate an interior of vehicular compartment from outside of the vehicular compartment or provided at a portion of a surface of the vehicular window glass that faces inside of the vehicular compartment; a display apparatus formed of a light transmitting material and disposed at a surface of the dimming glass plate that faces inside of the vehicular compartment, with a display portion facing inside the vehicular compartment; an image pickup device to capture an area outside of a vehicle to generate image pickup data, wherein the area is at an opposite surface on the dimming glass plate, the opposite surface being opposite a surface on which the display apparatus is provided; a data processing circuit to generate display image data to be displayed on the display portion based on the image pickup data generated by the image pickup device; and a switch to change light transmittance of the dimming glass plate.

A vehicle image controller, a system including the same, and a method thereof are provided. The vehicle image controller includes a processor configured to determine a head motion of a user or a sight motion of the user and to align a view point displayed on a display of a vehicle corresponding to the head motion or the sight motion and a storage configured to store information regarding the head motion or the sight motion.

A viewing device for a vehicle has: a monitor that displays a captured image of a vehicle rear side; and a control device that carries out display control that compresses the captured image such that a compression rate gradually becomes higher from a vehicle inner side toward outer sides, and displays an image on the monitor.

A system for displaying vehicle driving information may include: first and second image acquisition devices configured to capture an image of a first side on which a driver seat is located and an image of a second side which is the opposite side of the first side, respectively; first and second display devices configured to display the captured images of the first and second image acquisition devices, respectively; first and second BSD devices and configured to sense side-rear vehicle information; and a control device configured to recognize the location and vehicle distance of the side-rear vehicle by analyzing the side-rear vehicle information detected by the first and second BSD devices, determine whether to issue a BSD warning, and control BSD warning icons of the ego vehicle and the side-rear vehicle to be displayed as an OSD of the images displayed on the first and second display devices.

Method and control unit for reducing a blind spot created by a field of view adjustment of a vehicle comprised presentational device intended to display objects outside a driver's direct field of vision. The method comprises: detecting the blind spot of the presentational device, based on signals received from at least one first sensor associated with the presentational device; adjusting at least one second sensor, not associated with the presentational device, in order to cover at least a part of the detected blind spot; and outputting information captured by the adjusted at least one second sensor.

The present technology relates to an image generating device, an image generating method, and a program which are capable of calling attention of a user quickly. An integrating unit integrates a first image and a second image and generates an integrated image. A superimposition executing unit causes an alert mark to be superimposed on the integrated image and generates a superimposed image in a case in which an object shown in the second image is positioned on a farther side than an object shown in the first image. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a Camera Monitor System (CMS) which provides, for example, an image corresponding to an image observed by a side mirror or a rearview mirror or the like.

An image processing device includes: an obtainer which obtains, from an imaging device provided in a vehicle so as to be oriented to capture an image of an area behind the vehicle, an image captured by the imaging device; a position detector which detects a face position of a driver; and an image processor which performs image processing to clip, according to the face position detected by the position detector, an image having a range corresponding to the face position, out of a combined image including the image, and superimpose a position image indicating a position in the vehicle, on the image at a position corresponding to the face position, and outputs an image resulting from the image processing.
