A mirror replacement system for a vehicle. At least one image capturing unit adapted to be mounted around the exterior of the vehicle and capture images of at a field of view, an image display unit adapted to be visibly mounted for a driver, at least one driver sensor adapted for detecting information input from the driver, an operation controller adapted for controlling reformatting parameters based on driver parameters received from the at least one driver sensor, and an image capturing unit controller adapted for reformatting video data received from the at least one image capturing unit according to the reformatting parameters and for forwarding the reformatted video data to the at least one image display unit for displaying.

A control device is configured to provide route information for a vehicle and includes: a headlamp configured to irradiate light in a forward direction of the vehicle; a sensing unit configured to sense at least one sign located in the forward direction of the vehicle; and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to, based on a first portion of the at least one sign corresponding to first route information of the vehicle, control the headlamp to irradiate the light on the first portion of the at least one sign that corresponds to the first route information of the vehicle.

A vehicle control system for automated driver-assistance includes a low-resolution color camera that captures a color image of a field of view at a first resolution. The vehicle control system further includes a high-resolution scanning camera that captures a plurality of grayscale images, each of the grayscale images at a second resolution. The second resolution is higher than the first resolution. The grayscale images encompass the same field of view as the color image. The vehicle control system further includes one or more processors that perform a method that includes overlaying the plurality of grayscale images over the color image. The method further includes correcting motion distortion of one or more objects in the grayscale images. The method further includes generating a high-resolution output image by assigning color values to one or more pixels in the grayscale images based on the color image using a trained neural network.

An image generating apparatus generates an image to be displayed on a display and includes at least one memory and a control circuit. The control circuit acquires a plurality of camera images captured by a plurality of cameras installed in a vehicle, calculates a distance between one of the cameras and a target to be projected in in the camera images, detects a position of a light-transmissive object or a reflective object in the camera images, and generates an image from a point of view that is different from points of view of the plurality of camera images by using the plurality of camera images and the distance, the generated image including a predetermined image that is displayed at the position of the light-transmissive object or the reflective object.

This invention has an object to assist for traveling operation of a self-propelled industrial machine to display underneath image of the self-propelled industrial machine on a monitor of a display device mounted in a operator's cab. The display device of the self-propelled industrial machine according to the present invention is provided for a dump truck, which comprises cameras having field of view to underneath of the dump truck, a symbol image storage section to store a symbol image which is symbolized the dump truck, a superposing process section to make transparent with a predetermined transparent ratio in the symbol image as a transparent region and to superpose an image taken by the camera on the area corresponding to the transparent region as underneath image, and a monitor mounted in a cab of the dump truck for displaying the symbol image composed by the superposing process section.

A display control apparatus includes a vehicle detector and a processor, the processor generating a background image of a vehicle, setting, when a surrounding vehicle is detected in a predetermined region, a second projection plane to a position at which the surrounding vehicle is detected, generating a surrounding vehicle image by projecting a plurality of captured images onto the second projection plane, and superimposing the surrounding vehicle image on the background image.

A vision system for a vehicle includes a forward viewing camera disposed at a mirror head of an interior rearview mirror assembly of the vehicle and having a forward field of view through the windshield of the vehicle. A sensor is disposed at the mirror head and determines a change in position of the mirror head relative to a mirror mount of the mirror assembly when the vehicle driver adjusts the mirror head. A control includes a processor operable to process image data captured by the forward viewing camera. Responsive to determination by the sensor of a change of position of the forward viewing camera relative to the mirror mount, the control selects an active sub-array of photosensors to provide an effective field of view of the forward viewing camera. The processor processes image data captured by the active sub-array of photosensors for a driver assistance system of the vehicle.

A parking assistance apparatus includes a first sensor configured to sense a first environment corresponding to a first distance around a vehicle; a second sensor configured to sense a second environment corresponding to a second distance around the vehicle that is greater than the first distance; and a display configured to display a graphic image. The parking assistance apparatus also includes at least one processor configured to: acquire first information regarding the first environment around the vehicle and second information regarding the second environment around the vehicle; detect an available parking space based on the first information and based on the second information; and based on an available parking space being detected outside of the first environment, control the display to display information regarding the available parking space.

An imaging system is provided having an image sensor, an electrowetting lens positioned in front of the image sensor and configured to change at least one optical characteristic in response to an electrical stimulus so as to change a field of view of the image sensor, and a controller coupled to the electrowetting lens and configured to select a field of view of the image sensor by selecting the electrical stimulus to be applied to the electrowetting lens.

A motor vehicle includes a left side view camera attached to the left lateral side of the body and having a field of view in a rearward direction. A right side view camera is attached to the right lateral side of the body and has a field of view in a rearward direction. There is a right back up camera and a left back up camera. An optics module receives resulting video signals and produces light fields such that the light fields are reflected off of windows of the motor vehicle and are then visible to a driver of the motor vehicle as virtual images.
