To achieve excellent ease in operations in relation to the display output of an in-vehicle display device.

Comprises: image acquiring means for acquiring a captured image wherein the vicinity of a vehicle has been imaged; region setting means for setting a prescribed region between displaying means, installed within a cabin of the vehicle and a position wherein a vehicle occupant is within the cabin of the vehicle; function setting means for setting a display function associated with a prescribed region; viewpoint position detecting means for detecting a position relating to a viewpoint of the vehicle occupant; and image controlling means for controlling the displaying means so as to display the captured image, wherein: when the position relating to the viewpoint is detected as being in a prescribed region, the controlling means execute the display function on the captured image displayed by the displaying means.

A method and device is provided for detecting a state change in an environment around a vehicle, and providing a notification in response to detecting a state change, wherein the detection involves determining a portion of the environment to capture, capturing a portion of the environment, detecting a state change in the captured portion, and the production of a notification in response to the change in the captured environment. Certain embodiments include traffic signal detection, vehicle detection, vehicle speed detection, and user adjustment of the detection.

A vehicle image processing apparatus includes a group of cameras, a drawing unit that converts a captured image into an image viewed along a line of sight running from a predetermined position in a predetermined direction, a viewing-line-of-sight changing unit that detects whether a first line of sight is switched to a second line of sight, and a viewing-line-of-sight generation/updating unit that acquires parameters concerning the first and second lines of sight after detecting the switching and generates a parameter which is gradually changed from the parameter of the first line of sight to the parameter of the second line of sight. Moreover, the drawing unit generates, on the basis of the gradually changed parameter, an image which is gradually changed from an image viewed along the first line of sight to an image viewed along the second line of sight.

Disclosed are an around view monitor system and a method of controlling the same. The around view monitor system includes: a travel information receiving unit configured to receive gear information from a transmission of a vehicle; a touch input receiving unit configured to receive a touch signal for a display device provided in the vehicle; and a control unit configured to control an output effect to be applied to image data around the vehicle output to the display device according to the gear information transmitted from the travel information receiving unit and the touch signal transmitted from the touch input receiving unit.

The disclosure relates to a driver assistance system for a motor vehicle, such as a truck. The driver assistance system includes an environment camera with an image sensor and an optical system. The driver assistance system also includes an imaging unit and a display element in the interior of the motor vehicle. The environment camera, the imaging unit, and the display element form a digital exterior mirror, where the digital exterior mirror is arranged such that at least two visual field regions, namely a first visual field region and a second visual field region, are mapped with different magnifications.

A camera surround view system for a vehicle includes at least one vehicle camera that supplies camera images processed by a data processing unit to generate an image of the surroundings. The image of the surroundings being displayed on a display unit. The data processing unit re-projects textures, which are detected by the vehicle cameras, on an adaptive re-projection surface, which is similar to the area surrounding the vehicle, the re-projection surface being calculated based on sensor data provided by vehicle sensors. The data processing unit adapts the re-projection surface depending on a position and an orientation of a virtual camera.

A display control device that displays a video image taken by a camera on a display is disclosed. The display control device disposed in a vehicle, includes a housing configured to house a display on which a video image of surroundings of the vehicle taken by a camera is displayed, and to be able to be displaced independently of the display, a sensor configured to detect a displacement of the housing, and a control unit configured to perform control so that a video image shifted in a direction conforming to a direction of the displacement of the housing detected by the sensor is displayed.

A vehicle and a steering unit can improve safety. A vehicle includes a steering wheel and a touchpad disposed on the steering wheel. The vehicle enables control of a controlled apparatus by a gesture on the touchpad of the steering wheel upon detecting a predetermined pressure on the touchpad of the steering wheel and provides a tactile sensation from the touchpad in accordance with the gesture on the touchpad of the steering wheel.

Examples of techniques for road feature detection using a vehicle camera system are disclosed. In one example implementation, a computer-implemented method includes receiving, by a processing device, an image from a camera associated with a vehicle on a road. The computer-implemented method further includes generating, by the processing device, a top view of the road based at least in part on the image. The computer-implemented method further includes detecting, by the processing device, lane boundaries of a lane of the road based at least in part on the top view of the road. The computer-implemented method further includes detecting, by the processing device, a road feature within the lane boundaries of the lane of the road using machine learning.

A display control device includes: an image acquisition unit configured to acquire captured image data from an imaging unit that captures an image of a peripheral area of a vehicle; a display control unit configured to cause image data based on the captured image data to be displayed on a screen; and an operation receiving unit configured to receive designation of an arbitrary point on the screen, in which the display control unit enlarges display on the screen about the designated point as a center of enlargement in a state where a display position of the designated point does not move on the screen when the operation receiving unit receives the designation of the arbitrary point on the screen.
