A vehicular driver monitoring system includes an interior electrochromic rearview mirror assembly and a camera disposed at the interior electrochromic rearview mirror assembly behind and viewing through an electrochromic mirror reflective element into the interior cabin of the vehicle. Supplemental sources of near infrared illumination are integrated into the mirror assembly that, when powered to emit near infrared light, illuminate at least a front seating area within the interior cabin of the vehicle. Presence of the camera is not readily apparent to an occupant sitting in the interior cabin of the vehicle. The interior electrochromic rearview mirror assembly includes a processor that processes image data captured by the camera. The camera at least views a driver-side front seating area of the vehicle and, via processing at the processor of image data captured by the camera, the driver seated at the driver-side front seating area is monitored.

A parking assistance system includes: a color/IR detector which detects, from a camera image captured with a camera, marker candidates that are areas in each of which an intensity of a color component or an infrared (IR) component exceeds a threshold; a marker position calculator which calculates positions of the marker candidates in the camera image; and a validity verifier which determines whether the marker candidates are valid as the markers, based on the positions of the marker candidates and a predetermined positional relationship of the markers.

A system and method for identifying content relevant to a vehicle occupant using a rotatably-mounted sensor in a field of view of the vehicle occupant. The rotatably-mounted sensor collects information and data from its surroundings. The information and data is processes to identify relevant content to be presented to the vehicle occupant. The rotatably-mounted sensor is configured to rotate in a manner that directs the occupants gaze in a direction of the relevant content being presented. The relevant content may be selected based on information that is known about the vehicle occupant, the vehicle location, the vehicle destination, the vehicle surroundings associated with the location and/or destination, and vendor relationships.

A visual system (1) for a vehicle (7) having a capturing unit (2) for capturing a field of view (8) and a calculation unit (3), which is adapted to generate image data to be displayed based on the captured image data, and to supply the same to an image display unit (4), wherein the image data to be displayed include the field of view (8) captured by the capturing unit (2), the image display unit (4) is adapted to display the image data to be displayed, so that they are visible for the driver of the vehicle (7), and the calculation unit (3) is adapted to superimpose at least one trajectory (10, 10′) of a future track/driving curve of the vehicle (7) on the image data to be displayed on the image display unit (4), if a steering angle of the vehicle (7) has a predetermined amount.

A driver assist system for a vehicle includes at least one non-visual sensor and a forward-viewing camera disposed that is part of a multi-camera vision system of the vehicle that includes at least two side cameras and a rear backup camera. A video display screen is viewable by a driver of the vehicle when the driver is normally operating the vehicle. During a driving or parking maneuver of the vehicle, images derived, at least in part, from image data captured by at least some of the cameras are displayed by the video display screen, and at least one indication is provided to the driver of the vehicle during the driving maneuver. A unitary image is synthesized from image data captured by the multi-camera vision system and approximates a view as would be seen by a virtual camera at a single location exterior of the vehicle.

A drive assistance device 10 includes a road information acquisition unit 12, an information display unit 5, a drive assistance unit 15, and a display control unit 14 configured to report road information in front of a vehicle 1 acquired by the road information acquisition unit 12, by displaying a road image portion R indicating a shape of a road and left and right outer edges EL, ER of the road image portion R in different colors on the information display unit 5, and to display a vehicle state display part C indicating an execution state of drive assistance by the drive assistance unit 15.

A vehicular driver monitoring system includes an interior rearview mirror assembly disposed in a vehicle and including a mirror reflective element. A camera is disposed at the interior rearview mirror assembly and views a driver sitting at a driver seat of the equipped vehicle. The camera is operable to capture image data. A control includes a vision system-on-a-chip image processor that processes image data captured by the camera. The control, via processing at the vision system-on-a-chip image processor of image data captured by the camera, determines driver movement. The vehicular driver monitoring system generates an output responsive at least in part to the determined driver movement.

In a vehicle control system, when an occupant visually recognizes a signboard and signboard course information is included in signboard information corresponding to the signboard, the signboard information is displayed on a display device. When the signboard course information out of the signboard information is visually recognized continuously, a control device generates course information based on the signboard course information. The generated course information is output to a vehicle control ECU, and course change processing based on the course information is performed by the vehicle control ECU.

A system may include a display and a processor communicatively coupled to the display. The processor may be configured to: generate a synthetic vision system (SVS) taxi mode exocentric view of an aircraft when the aircraft is performing taxi operations and when the aircraft is on ground, wherein the SVS taxi mode exocentric view includes at least one range ring centered around a depiction of the aircraft, each of the at least one range ring providing a visual indication of a given range between the aircraft and a given range ring; and output, to the display, the SVS taxi mode exocentric view. The display may be configured to: display the SVS taxi mode exocentric view.
