A periphery display control device includes: an image acquisition unit acquiring captured image data obtained by imaging a periphery of an own vehicle; a target acquisition unit acquiring a target position to which the own vehicle moves; an image generation unit generating a virtual viewpoint image while moving, based on a relative angle of the target position with respect to a movement direction of the own vehicle when moving to the target position, at least one of a virtual viewpoint set at a position facing the target position across the own vehicle and a gazing point when facing an area including at least one of the own vehicle and the target position from the virtual viewpoint in a state where a distance between and heights of the virtual viewpoint and the gazing point are maintained; and an output unit outputting the virtual viewpoint image to a display device.

Vehicular control system with trailering assist function

A vehicular control system includes a rear backup camera viewing at least rearward of the vehicle. With a trailer hitched to the vehicle, and based at least in part on image processing of captured image data during a backing-up maneuver, the image processor determines a distance between an axle of the trailer and the hitch of the vehicle and determines a trailer angle of the trailer hitched to the vehicle. During the backing-up maneuver of the trailer hitched to the vehicle, the vehicular control system determines a path of the trailer responsive to (i) a steering angle of the vehicle, (ii) the determined trailer angle of the trailer and (iii) the determined distance between the axle of the trailer and the hitch of the vehicle. The vehicular control system displays information to assist the driver in backing up the trailer hitched to the vehicle.

VEHICULAR TRAILER ANGLE DETECTION SYSTEM

A vehicular trailer angle detection system includes a rear camera, a left-side camera, a right-side camera and a control having an image processor. With a trailer hitched at a vehicle, and while the vehicle is driven in a forward direction and towing the trailer, image data is captured by at least one of the cameras. The vehicular trailer angle detection system determines an expected location of the portion of the trailer based on provided vehicle-trailer parameters as the vehicle is driven forward and towing the trailer. The vehicular trailer angle detection system determines an actual location of the portion of the trailer via processing of captured image data as the vehicle is driven forward and towing the trailer. Responsive to an offset between the determined actual location of the portion of the trailer and the determined expected location, the vehicular trailer angle detection system accommodates the offset.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE METHOD AND APPARATUS
20220219607 · 2022-07-14 ·

Aspects of the present invention relate to a driver assistance system for a towing vehicle coupled to a towed vehicle. The driver assistance system includes a controller. The driver assistance system is configured to receive first image data from a towed vehicle imaging device disposed on the towed vehicle. The first image data represents a first scene behind the towed vehicle. The first image data is processed to identify object image data representative of one or more objects of interest in the first scene. An object distance is determined from a reference point to the or each object of interest identified in the first scene. A signal indicative of the object distance is output by the driver assistance system. Aspects of the present invention also relate to a vehicle including a driver assistance system; a method of assisting a driver; computer software; and a computer readable medium.

Assistance system for a vehicle

A vehicle assistance system with at least one outside camera, a control unit, at least one display unit, an occupant identification unit, and a human machine interface (Human Machine Interface, HMI).

CMS systems and processing methods for vehicles
11400860 · 2022-08-02 · ·

A image detection and classification system for a vehicle includes a first display, a second display, an image capturing unit for capturing an image and displaying the image on at least one of the first display and the second display, and an image processing unit configured to process the captured image to improve a clarity of the captured image in response to the captured image having an obstruction value exceeding a threshold obstruction value. A method for operation of the image detection and classification system is also described.

Surround view

A system on a chip (SoC) includes a digital signal processor (DSP) and a graphics processing unit (GPU) coupled to the DSP. The DSP is configured to receive a stream of received depth measurements and generate a virtual bowl surface based on the stream of received depth measurements. The DSP is also configured to generate a bowl to physical camera mapping based on the virtual bowl surface. The GPU is configured to receive a first texture and receive a second texture. The GPU is also configured to perform physical camera to virtual camera transformation on the first texture and on the second texture, based on the bowl to physical camera mapping, to generate an output image.

VEHICULAR TRAILER ANGLE DETECTION SYSTEM FOR FIFTH-WHEEL TRAILERS

A vehicular trailer assist system includes a rearward viewing camera viewing a trailer hitched at a fifth wheel hitch at a bed of the vehicle. With the trailer hitched to the vehicle, the vehicular trailer assist system transforms fisheye-view frames of image data captured by the rearward viewing camera into bird's-eye view frames of image data. The vehicular trailer assist system determines the fifth wheel hitch within a transformed bird's-eye view frame of image data. The vehicular trailer assist system warps the transformed bird's-eye view frame of image data, which includes (i) an X-axis that indicates change in a trailer angle of the trailer relative to the vehicle and (ii) a Y-axis that indicates distance from the fifth wheel hitch. The vehicular trailer assist system, using the X-axis of the warped transformed bird's-eye view frame of image data, determines the trailer angle of the trailer relative to the vehicle.

IMAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD
20220294996 · 2022-09-15 ·

An imaging system includes an image sensor and an image signal processor (ISP). The image sensor generates image data including a set of pixel values. The ISP defines a first subset of pixel values from the set of pixel values. The first subset of pixel values corresponds to at least one region of interest. The ISP defines a second subset of pixel values that is complementary to the first subset of pixel values. The ISP generates a first sub-image based on the second subset of pixel values. The ISP processes the first subset of pixel values to generate a second sub-image. Processing the first subset of pixel values includes at least one of changing a color of one or more pixel values from the first subset of pixel values and scaling the first subset of pixel values. The ISP merges the first and second sub-images to generate an output image.
