A vehicle of the disclosure includes an apparatus for assisting driving of a host vehicle. The apparatus for assisting driving of the host vehicle includes a display configured to display vehicle driving information; an image obtainer configured to obtain an image of a road; a distance detector configured to detect surrounding objects; and a controller configured to calculate notification information based on the obtained image information of the road, the detected surrounding objects, and the vehicle driving information, and to display the calculated notification information to a driver in real time.

This application provides an imaging method and an optical imaging system. One example method includes: obtaining a first modulation parameter, wherein the first modulation parameter is determined based on a first distorted image and a first target image, the first distorted image is an image presented after imaging processing is performed on a training image by using the optical imaging system and a screen, the first target image is an image of the training image, and distortion of the first target image falls within a preset range; and controlling the spatial light modulator to modulate an electrical signal of a to-be-imaged first image based on the first modulation parameter, and to generate an imaging light beam that is incident to human eyes through the lens and the screen.

There is provided a display device for a vehicle, the display device including: a display unit that is visible to an occupant of a vehicle; a memory; and a processor that is connected to the memory, the processor changing a content image displayed on the display unit so as to be displayed in the same direction as a direction in which a travel path of the vehicle curves.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a display method for use in vehicle, comprising obtaining information (step 210) associated with a vehicle or image data for a region ahead of the vehicle, and displaying (step 230) one or more of a graphical representation of at least one component of the vehicle having one or more characteristics based on the information associated with the vehicle, or a representation of the image data, wherein the representation is arranged to overlie a portion of the vehicle (320) to be indicative of a portion of the vehicle being at least partly transparent.

A display system provided in a vehicle includes: a road surface drawing device configured to emit a light pattern toward a road surface outside the vehicle; and a display control unit configured to control the road surface drawing device. The display control unit stops emission of the light pattern in response to detection of a light pattern emitted from a vehicle.

A partial image generating device has a processor configured to generate a partial image from an image in which the environment surrounding a vehicle has been photographed using an imaging device provided in the vehicle, and to assess whether or not the road represented in the image is straight. The processor is configured so that, when it has been assessed that the road represented in the image is straight, it generates a partial image by cutting out a first region in the image that is estimated to contain the road, based on the vanishing point of the road, and when it has assessed that the road represented in the image is not straight, it generates a partial image by cutting out a second region in the image determined based on the type of the vehicle.

A head-up display device is provided which can suppress error in the attachment position of a fixed mirror. This head-up display device is provided with a display which emits display light, a first mirror which reflects display light from the display, a second mirror which is provided rotatably about a rotation axis and which reflects towards a window shield the display light reflected by the first mirror, a mirror support unit which supports the first mirror, a holding case unit which holds the second mirror and which is formed integrally with the mirror support unit, and plate springs which fix the first mirror to the mirror support unit by pressing the first mirror towards the mirror support unit.

A vehicle, which is a fuel cell vehicle, has an EV mode and an FC mode. In the EV mode, power generation by the FC stack is stopped and an electric power is supplied from a battery to a motor generator. In the FC mode, an electric power supplied from the FC stack to the motor generator is greater than an electric power supplied from the battery to the motor generator. In the EV mode, ECU controls an MID so that the MID displays the instantaneous electric power efficiency of the vehicle and does not display the instantaneous fuel efficiency of the vehicle. In the FC mode, ECU controls MID so that the MID displays the instantaneous fuel efficiency of the vehicle and does not display the instantaneous electric power efficiency of the vehicle.

A head-up display is configured to project an image on a transparent reflection member to cause an observer to visually recognize a virtual image, and includes a display device configured to display the image, and a projection optical system configured to project the image displayed by the display device as the virtual image for the observer. The projection optical system is configured to form an image as an intermediate image, and includes a first lens configured to condense light, and a first optical element configured to diffuse light. The first lens and the first optical element are disposed in this order along an optical path from the display device. The first lens is inclined with respect to a reference beam which is defined as a beam reaching a center of a viewpoint region of the observer and corresponding to a center of the virtual image.

A vehicular control system includes a forward viewing camera disposed at an in-cabin side of a windshield of a vehicle and viewing forward of the vehicle. Road curvature of a road along which the vehicle is traveling is determined responsive at least in part to processing of image data captured by the camera. Responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, speed of the vehicle is controlled by an adaptive cruise control system of the vehicle. Upon approach of the vehicle to a curve in the road along which the vehicle is traveling, speed of the vehicle is reduced by the adaptive cruise control system to a reduced speed for traveling around the curve in the road. Speed of the vehicle is increased by the adaptive cruise control system when the vehicle is traveling along a straighter section of road after the curve in the road.
