A display device has a display screen that displays a real image captured by an image capture device mounted in a construction machine which includes working equipment, and a combined image obtained by overlapping an object image indicating a virtual viewpoint image of an object around the construction machine viewed from a virtual viewpoint of an outside of the construction machine and a construction machine image indicating a virtual viewpoint image of the construction machine viewed from the virtual viewpoint, wherein the display device displays the combined image simultaneously with the real image in a partial region of the real image displayed in the display screen.

PARKING ASSIST SYSTEM WITH PARKING SPOT OCCUPANCY READOUT
20200242376 · 2020-07-30 ·

A parking assist system for a vehicle uses cameras to collect ground images at opposite edges of the vehicle. A speed sensor provides a speed signal representing a speed of the vehicle. When speed is less than a threshold, a navigation system compares a geographic location of the vehicle to map data or the camera images are monitored to detect parking zones. A parking controller is coupled to the cameras, a display panel, navigation system, and speed sensor. When the parking controller detects that the geographic location of the vehicle coincides with a parking zone then the parking controller 1) examines the ground images to recognize a pair of edge boundaries of a parking spot, 2) calculates a proportion of an intersection length of the vehicle contained within the boundaries to a full length of the vehicle, and 3) displays the calculated proportion as a percentage on the display panel.

THREE-DIMENSIONAL VEHICLE PATH GUIDELINES

Methods, systems, and apparatus for providing a view of an environment behind a vehicle. The system includes a camera located on a track and connected to the vehicle, the camera configured to detect image data of the environment behind the vehicle. The system also includes an actuator configured to move a position of the camera along the track. The system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) configured to determine, based on the image data, whether the view of the environment behind the vehicle is obscured. The ECU is configured to adjust, using the actuator, the position of the camera along the track when the view of the environment behind the vehicle is obscured until the view of the environment behind the vehicle is unobscured or less obscured. The system includes a rear-view mirror connected to the ECU and configured to display the view of the environment behind the vehicle.

DISPLAY CONTROL DEVICE
