A vehicle electronic mirror system including: a rearward image capture section configured to capture a rearward video image from a vehicle; a video image processing section including: a computation section configured to extract a feature point in the rearward video image and to compute an optical flow direction of the feature point, a determination section configured to determine whether or not the optical flow direction of the feature point is heading toward a point-at-infinity side in the rearward video image, and a processed video image generation section configured to generate a processed video image in which visibility of a region in the rearward video image corresponding to a feature point heading toward the point-at-infinity side is reduced relative to a visibility of other regions in the rearward video image; and a display device configured to display the processed video image toward an occupant.

Methods and devices for actively modifying a field of view of an autonomous vehicle in view of constraints are disclosed. In one embodiment, an example method is disclosed that includes causing a sensor in an autonomous vehicle to sense information about an environment in a first field of view, where a portion of the environment is obscured in the first field of view. The example method further includes determining a desired field of view in which the portion of the environment is not obscured and, based on the desired field of view and a set of constraints for the vehicle, determining a second field of view in which the portion of the environment is less obscured than in the first field of view. The example method further includes modifying a position of the vehicle, thereby causing the sensor to sense information in the second field of view.

A method for dynamically calibrating a vehicular trailer angle detection system includes providing at least a rear camera at a rear portion of the vehicle. A trailer is hitched at the vehicle and the vehicle is driven forward while towing the trailer. The control determines an expected location of a portion of the trailer based on provided vehicle-trailer parameters as the vehicle is driven forward and towing the trailer. An actual location of the portion of the trailer is determined via processing at the control of captured image data as the equipped vehicle is driven forward and towing the trailer. The vehicular trailer angle detection system is calibrated responsive to determination, via processing at the control of captured image data as the equipped vehicle is driven forward and towing the trailer, that the determined actual location of the portion of the trailer is not at the determined expected location.

A vision system of a vehicle includes a plurality of cameras disposed at a vehicle and having a field of view exterior of the vehicle. A display device is operable to display images for viewing by a driver of the vehicle. The plurality of cameras includes a master camera and at least one slave camera. The at least one slave camera communicates a signal to the master slave camera representative of image data captured by the at least one slave camera. The master camera includes an image signal processor for processing image data captured by at least the master camera. The master camera includes a view generator operable to generate images for display by the display device, with the generated images derived from image data captured by the master camera and the signal communicated by the at least one slave camera.

A method of recognizing an object, and a device therefor are provided. The method includes obtaining first sensing data from a first sensor that senses the object, obtaining second sensing data from a second sensor that senses the object, obtaining a first object recognition reliability for the object and a second object recognition reliability for the object respectively based on the first sensing data and the second sensing data, based on the first object recognition reliability and the second object recognition reliability, matching object information of the object recognized using the second sensing data to the first sensing data, and storing the matched object information in a database of one of the first sensor and the second sensor.

An object of the present invention is to provide an information display system and the like capable of showing to an object person viewing a display portion, such as a display, an object displayed on the display portion from a point of view of the operator in an accurate manner. The information display system includes: a plurality of imaging apparatuses that image an object from a point of view that differs from a point of view of a user; and a display portion that displays the object from the point of view of the user, wherein the information display system generates three-dimensional information of the object on the basis of imaging information obtained by imaging the object by the plurality of imaging apparatuses and displays, on the basis of the three-dimensional information, the object on the display portion from the point of view of the user.

A drive assist device includes a display that displays an image around a vehicle imaged by an imaging device installed on the vehicle, a setting unit that sets a target designated by a user on the image as a recognition target, a detection unit that detects a state change of the recognition target on the image in a case where the recognition target is set, and a notification control unit that controls a notification device to notify the user of the detection result in a case where the state change of the set recognition target is detected.

An image of a work attachment (operation mechanism) of a work machine and the periphery of the work attachment, which corresponds to captured image data acquired by an imaging device, is displayed on an image output device by means of a first communication mode established between a slave control device mounted in the work machine and a master control device. When the first communication mode is interrupted, instead of the image of the operation mechanism of the work machine and the periphery of the operation mechanism, a point cloud image corresponding to distance image data acquired by a distance sensor is displayed on the image output device by means of a second communication mode established between the slave control device and the master control device.

A display device is provided. The display device displays an image captured by a first camera of a plurality of cameras, the captured image representing a situation around a shovel, and when a predetermined object is detected within an imaging range of a second camera that is different from the first camera, the display device displays an image representing that the predetermined object is detected outside a range of the displayed captured image of the first camera.

A view support system at a vehicle for supporting a vehicle occupant to see the surroundings of the vehicle includes: a first camera configured to obtain an image of the surroundings in a first direction of the vehicle; a display configured to display the image of the surroundings in the first direction of the vehicle; a processing circuitry operatively connected to the first camera and the display, the processing circuitry is configured to: detect a signal indicative of an impaired visibility of the surroundings in a first direction through a vehicle window for the vehicle occupant of the vehicle; and display the image of the surroundings in the first direction of the vehicle, obtained by the first camera at the display, to the vehicle occupant.
