There are provided an apparatus, a method, and an autonomous moving body which allow a recognition target to be notified with certainty that the recognition target is recognized by an autonomous moving body. A recognition result presenting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure detects a recognition target (person) present within a predetermined range from an automatic driving vehicle and presents, to the detected recognition target (person), the result of recognition indicating that the automatic driving vehicle recognizes the recognition target (person).

A vehicle lighting system includes: a lighting device that emits a first light and a second light to a periphery of an own vehicle, the second light having a higher directivity than the first light; a camera to acquire image information; a detector to emit an electromagnetic wave and acquire a reflection wave; and an electronic control unit configured to detect a physical body using the image information, detect the physical body using information of the reflection wave, control the lighting device such that the first light is emitted to the physical body detected by the reflection wave, determine whether the physical body detected using the image information in a state where the first light is being emitted is an target object, and control the lighting device such that the lighting device emits the second light toward a predetermined range around the target object.

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 vehicle display device includes: a display unit that is disposed in a host vehicle and that displays an image; an imaging unit that captures an image of circumstances surrounding the host vehicle; and a controller configured to perform processing through which, by controlling the display unit, a virtual vehicle image representing a virtual vehicle imitating the host vehicle is displayed, and the image of the circumstances surrounding the host vehicle captured by the imaging unit is pasted for display as a reflected image representing reflection in the host vehicle onto an outer panel of the virtual vehicle represented by the virtual vehicle image.

A vehicle camera calibration apparatus and method are provided. The vehicle camera calibration apparatus includes a camera module configured to acquire an image representing a road from a plurality of cameras installed in a vehicle, an input/output module configured to receive, as an input, the acquired image from the camera module, or output a corrected image, a lane detection module configured to detect a lane and extract a feature point of the lane from an image received from the input/output module, and a camera correction module configured to estimate a new external parameter using a lane equation and a lane width based on initial camera information and external parameter information in the image received from the input/output module, and to correct the image.

A display device for a vehicle, including: a rear imaging section that captures a rear image; a rear lateral imaging section that captures rear lateral images; and a control section that generates a combined image in which a rear processed image obtained by processing the rear image with a first parameter, and rear lateral processed images obtained by processing rear lateral images with a second parameter, are combined, wherein the control section further identifies an object existing in the rear image or the rear lateral images; acquires relative information including relative position and relative speed of the object with respect to the vehicle, and blind spot regions of the combined image; and, based thereon, if the object will disappear from the combined image due to entering into the blind spot regions, changes the blind spot regions by adjusting the first and second parameters.

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.

A vehicular control system includes a camera disposed at an in-cabin side of a windshield of a vehicle, the camera viewing forward of the vehicle through the windshield, and the camera capturing image data representative of at least an upcoming road surface of a road ahead of the vehicle. The vehicular control system, via processing at an image processor of image data captured by the camera, determines traction condition of at least a portion of the imaged upcoming road surface that is ahead of the vehicle. The vehicular control system, via processing at the image processor of captured image data, determines a change in traction condition ahead of the vehicle and adjusts an adaptive cruise control system of the vehicle responsive at least in part to the determined change in traction condition ahead of the vehicle.

Disclosed is a mobile terminal that provides an augmented reality navigation screen in a state of being hold in a vehicle, the mobile terminal including: at least one camera configured to obtain a front image; a display; and at least one processor configured to calibrate the front image, and to drive an augmented reality navigation application so that the augmented reality navigation screen including at least one augmented reality (AR) graphic object and the calibrated front image is displayed on the display.

A vehicular vision system includes at least two cameras disposed at a vehicle. The at least two cameras includes a first camera and a second camera. The first camera is disposed at an in-cabin side of a windshield of the vehicle and views through the windshield forward of the vehicle. Each of the first camera and the second camera includes a first CMOS imaging array having at least one million photosensor elements arranged in rows and columns. The second camera includes an encryptor that encrypts image data that is captured by the second camera. The first camera includes a decryptor that decrypts image data encrypted by the second camera. Image data captured by the first camera and image data captured by the second camera may be processed at an electronic control unit (ECU) for a machine vision system of the vehicle.
