An interactive method for a movable platform, an interactive system, a movable platform and a storage medium including the interactive method. The interactive method may include projecting three-dimensional point cloud data collected by a sensor into image data collected by a camera for fusion processing to obtain a fused image; rendering the fused image to determine a three-dimensional visualization image of a surrounding environment where the movable platform is located; and outputting the three-dimensional visualization image of the surrounding environment where the movable platform is located on a display interface.

Systems and methods for generating an image of the surroundings of an articulated vehicle are provided. According to an aspect of the invention, a processor determines a relative position between a first vehicle of an articulated vehicle and a second vehicle of the articulated vehicle; receives a first image from a first camera arranged on the first vehicle and a second image from a second camera arranged on the second vehicle; and combines the first image and the second image based on the relative position between the first vehicle and the second vehicle to generate a combined image of surroundings of the articulated vehicle.

A vehicular vision system includes a control disposed at a vehicle. A camera is disposed at an in-cabin side of the vehicle windshield and views forward of the vehicle. During a driving maneuver of the vehicle, the vehicular vision system, responsive at least in part to an output of a radar sensor, detects an object that is located within the radar sensor's field of sensing and outside of the camera's field of view and determines movement of the object relative to the vehicle. During the driving maneuver of the vehicle, information pertaining to movement of the detected object toward an area within the field of view of the camera is provided to the control. During the driving maneuver, and responsive to the provided information, and with the detected object present within the camera's field of view, the vehicular vision system determines that the detected object is an object of interest.

A vehicle travel control method includes, when controlling a vehicle having an autonomous travel control function to travel autonomously, detecting whether or not an object is present around the vehicle and displaying a predetermined pattern corresponding to a detection range at a certain position on a road surface toward the detection range so that the predetermined pattern is visible.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle advancing monitoring system, comprising: a monitoring unit configured to acquire image information in a specified direction of the vehicle, and generate alarm information upon detection of an object with a relative distance to the vehicle less than a preset value in the specified direction, the specified direction referring to a left rear direction and/or a right rear direction; a display unit configured to display the image information acquired by the monitoring unit; and an alarm unit configured to alarm according to the alarm information. The present disclosure can ensure safe driving.

A system and methodologies for controlling the content of a heads up display to provide increased visibility of naturally occurring contours and surfaces in the environment is provided. Depth information is provided along with predefined lighting conditions in order to output an image by the HUD with enhanced feature contours.

Disclosed is a road speed limit identification method. The road speed limit identification method includes: obtaining a driving image captured during driving of a moving object; setting a region of interest in the obtained driving image and generating a grayscale-processed image on the basis of an image of the region of interest; detecting a speed limit sign image from the grayscale-processed image; calculating a first brightness value of a number region, a second brightness value of a border region, and a third brightness value of an in-border region other than the number region in the detected speed limit sign image; and identifying a speed limit displayed on a speed limit sign on the basis of the plurality of calculated brightness values.

An apparatus includes an interface and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive pixel data corresponding to an exterior view from a vehicle. The processor may be configured to (a) process the pixel data arranged as video frames, (b) generate video data for a display in response to the video frames, (c) store a plurality of view preferences for the display, (d) determine (i) a current location of the vehicle, (ii) a current status of the vehicle, (iii) a current maneuver being performed, and (iv) which portion of the current maneuver is being performed, and (e) generate an output signal to select a view for the display. Each view preference generally corresponds to one or more of (i) a location, (ii) a vehicle status, (iii) a maneuver, and (iv) a portion of the maneuver, when the maneuver comprises more than one portion. The processor may switch between a plurality of view preferences associated with the maneuver based on a plurality of precise locations corresponding to a plurality of portions of the maneuver. The processor may determine a current precise location within the maneuver by calculating distances using image-based localization applied to the video frames. The output signal may be generated in response to the current precise location within the maneuver and the current status matching the precise location and the vehicle status, respectively, of a particular one of the plurality of view preferences corresponding to the plurality of portions of the maneuver. The view selected may be determined based on the particular one of the plurality of view preferences.

A method of aligning a tow vehicle with a trailer positioned behind the tow vehicle is provided. The method includes determining a point cloud map of a rear environment of the tow vehicle. The rear environment includes the trailer. The method also includes determining a front face plane of the trailer based on the point cloud map. The method also includes determining a normal line of the front face plane. The method also includes determining a path from the tow vehicle to the trailer such that a fore-aft axis of the tow vehicle is aligned with the normal line of the front face plane.

An apparatus includes a plurality of capture devices and a processor. The plurality of capture devices may each be configured to generate video frames corresponding to an area outside of a vehicle. The processor may be configured to receive the video frames from each of the plurality of capture devices, generate video data for a display in response to the video frames, store a view preference for the display corresponding to (i) a location and (ii) a vehicle status, determine a current location and a current status of the vehicle and generate an output signal to select a view for the display. The output signal may be generated in response to the current location matching the location and the current status matching the vehicle status. The view selected may be determined based on the view preference.
