A method and apparatus for side vehicle positioning are provided for positioning a side vehicle accurately. The method includes: converting an original image into an corrected image, the original image being an image shot by an image acquisition device, the corrected image being an image corresponding to the original image under an angle of view of a virtual camera; detecting a wheel feature in a detection region of the corrected image, and acquiring a position of a subimage including the wheel feature in the corrected image; detecting a circle feature in the subimage including the wheel feature, and acquiring a circle detection result, the circle detection result including a position of a circle center of the circle feature in the corrected image and a radius of the circle feature; and acquiring side vehicle positioning information according to the circle detection result.

A signal display sun visor may include a camera photographing an object in front of vehicle; a folding detector sensing whether or not the sun visor is opened; a traffic light detector determining a current location of the vehicle by receiving a GPS signal and whether a traffic light exists in front of the vehicle based on the current location by using map information; an image processor determining a traffic light from a digital image by processing and analyzing the digital image and a signal of the determined traffic light; a signal display unit displaying the signal of the traffic light determined by the image processor; and a controller controlling operation of the respective constituent elements, operating when the sun visor is opened at greater than or equal to a predetermined angle, and controlling the camera to photograph a traffic light when the traffic light exists in front of the vehicle.

A display control device includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to: acquire information of a moving body in surroundings of a vehicle; and display a specific image on a display area provided to the vehicle according to a position of the moving body based on the acquired information of the moving body, the specific image being displayed either overlaid on or adjacent to the moving body; and in a case in which the moving body inside the display area has exited from the display area, continue to display the specific image until a specific period of time has elapsed.

An image display device includes an exterior camera that captures an image of an area around a vehicle, a viewpoint detector that detects positions of viewpoints of a driver, a first image processor that generates, based on image data about an area corresponding to a shielding portion to block a view of the driver viewing outside at the positions of the detected viewpoints, image data for a left eye about the area corresponding to the shielding portion, a second image processor that generates, based on image data about the area corresponding to the shielding portion, image data for a right eye about the area corresponding to the shielding portion, and a display device installable on the vehicle to display a parallax image on the shielding portion. The image data for a right eye is uniform monochromatic display data for a specific shielding portion of the shielding portion.

Configuration, in which images output to a display unit are switched and displayed in accordance with the behavior of a driver, such as movements of the head of the driver, is achieved. Driver information indicating the behavior of the driver of a moving apparatus and images captured by a plurality of cameras that images a situation around the moving apparatus from different viewpoints are input. The images output to the display unit are switched in accordance with the driver information. The plurality of cameras is, for example, a plurality of rear cameras installed in the rear of the moving apparatus. For example, a direction of the face or line-of-sight of the driver is detected. An image in a direction corresponding to the detected direction of the face or line-of-sight of the driver is selected as an output image, and displayed on the display unit. Alternatively, an image in a direction indicated by a gesture of the driver is selected, and displayed on the display unit.

A display control method is provided for a vehicle having a front pillar. An image of a region about the vehicle is obtained from a camera. The region includes a driver's blind spot caused by the front pillar of the vehicle. From the obtained image, an image of the driver's blind spot is extracted in a shape of a curved display provided along a curved interior surface of the front pillar. The curved display is caused to display the extracted image.

There is provided a vehicle pillar structure including: a non-transparent first supporting member that is configured by a material with a coefficient of linear thermal expansion along the length direction of a first value; a non-transparent second supporting member that is disposed spaced apart from the first supporting member, and that is configured by a material with a coefficient of linear thermal expansion along the length direction of a second value; and a resin transparent member that is configured by a material with a coefficient of linear thermal expansion along the length directions of the first supporting member and the second supporting member of a larger value than the first value and the second value, and that is configured including multiple glass fibers with length directions oriented such that fiber length directions are substantially orthogonal to the length directions of the first supporting member and the second supporting member.

A cloaking device comprises an object-side, an image-side, a cloaked region between the object-side and the image-side. An object-side optical component and an object-side tilt correction (TC) component are positioned on the object-side, and an image-side optical component and an image-side TC component are positioned on the image-side. The cloaking device is tilted relative to an object positioned on the object-side such that light from the object is incident on the cloaking device at an acute angle. The object-side TC component redirects light from the object incident on the cloaking device such that the light propagates through the cloaking device generally normal to the object-side and image-side optical components. The image-side TC component redirects light propagating through the cloaking device back to normal to the object to form an image of the object on the image-side of the cloaking device which, if not for the TC components, would be distorted.

A display device according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a front display unit; a side display unit including a left display unit and a right display unit; a communication unit for receiving external image data; a sensing unit for sensing a user; and a control unit for controlling an operation of the display device, wherein the control unit is configured to measure a position of the user's eyes inside a vehicle and a distance between the front display unit and the side display unit and the user's eyes by using the sensing unit, calculate the user's visible view and viewing angle through measured data, and process external image data corresponding to the calculated visible view to output the same to the side display unit.

A vehicle control device includes a display that displays an image, a recognizer that recognizes an object including another vehicle, a driving controller that generates a target trajectory of the own vehicle on the basis of a state of the recognized object and controls at least one of the speed or steering of the own vehicle on the basis of the target trajectory, and a display controller that causes the display to display a first image simulating the other vehicle, a second image simulating the target trajectory, and a third image simulating a road in which the own vehicle is present such that the first and second images are superimposed on the third image.
