A vehicular camera module includes a camera having a CMOS image sensor and a lens. The image sensor is disposed at a first printed circuit board, and circuitry of a second printed circuit board is in board-to-board electrical connection with circuitry of the first printed circuit board. Board-to-board electrical connection between the first and second printed circuit boards is via a multi-wire ribbon connection. A housing houses the first and second printed circuit boards. The housing is configured for mounting at a vehicle and, with the vehicular camera module mounted at the vehicle, the camera has a field of view external of the vehicle. With the vehicular camera module mounted at the vehicle and responsive at least in part to processing by an image processor of image data captured by the image sensor, an object in the field of view of the camera is detected.

A movable carrier auxiliary system includes at least two optical image capturing systems respectively disposed on a left portion and a right portion of a movable carrier. Each optical image capturing system includes an image capturing module, an operation module, at least one warning module, and at least one displaying device, and has at least one lens group including at least two lenses having refractive power. The image capturing module captures and produces an environmental image surrounding the movable carrier. The operation module electrically connected to the image capturing module detects at least one moving object in the environmental image to generate a detecting signal. The warning module electrically connected to the operation module receives the detecting signal, and generates a warning signal when determines that the moving object approach to the movable carrier. The displaying device is electrically connected to the warning module to display the warning signal.

There is provided an electronic mirror system including: a measuring section that a measures a brightness of a vehicle exterior; an imaging section that captures images of rear lateral sides of a vehicle; a display section; an operation section; and a display control section that, in a case in which the brightness measured by the measuring section is less than or equal to a set threshold value, and the vehicle is operated by the operation section so as to travel rearward, switches the imaging range of the imaging section to the second imaging range, and makes a luminous intensity of a dark portion, which is a portion within the display surface of an image displayed on the display surface and whose luminous intensity is lower than a set luminous intensity, be higher than a luminous intensity of the dark portion before the vehicle travels rearward.

A driver assistance system for a vehicle includes a rear-view camera constructed and arranged to obtain an image of an area behind a rear of the vehicle. A non-camera sensor system is constructed and arranged to obtain data regarding dynamic or static environmental features at opposing sides of the vehicle. An electronic control unit is electrically connected with the rear-view camera and with the sensor system. The electronic control unit is constructed and arranged to create an image from the data received from the sensor system. A display system is controlled by the electronic control unit and is constructed and arranged to display simultaneously to a driver of the vehicle at a single location, the image obtained by the rear-view camera and the image created by the electronic control system.

A method for providing a rear mirror view of a surroundings of a vehicle includes capturing at least one portion of the vehicle surroundings in a first image by at least one wide-angle camera that is mounted on the vehicle, computing a second image (20) on the basis of the first image; the second image corresponding to an imaged field of view of a first virtual camera that is located in a first position in the vehicle surroundings and imaging an area located behind the vehicle in the vehicle surroundings, and providing the second image for displaying a rear mirror view.

A vehicle periphery display device includes: an image acquisition unit that acquires a captured image from an imaging unit that images a periphery of a vehicle; and a control unit that causes a display unit to display a three-dimensional image representing the vehicle and a periphery of the vehicle based on the captured image, from a viewpoint which is located on a side opposite to a candidate of a target parking position with respect to a position of the vehicle and which faces a far side of the candidate of the target parking position, in a case where the target parking position for parking the vehicle is set.

An interior vehicle based imaging system that provides multiple real time and archival video images. The imaging system captures image data from a central multi-camera platform within the vehicle's rearview mirror. Image processes and process data storage via wireless communication links to internet cloud based archival storage and retrieval are provided. Optimal vehicle interior and exterior viewing angles are achieved to provide a complete visual documentation of the vehicle's environment including its occupant in a real time and accessible documentation record.

There is provided an image reproducing device having an acquiring unit, a converting unit, a generating unit, and a display control unit. If an index is selected by a user's operation, the generating unit generates a virtual viewpoint image according to a virtual viewpoint direction corresponding to the selected index, as a reproduction image.

A pillar display system for a blind spot of a vehicle may include an A-pillar disposed inside a vehicle; and an image projector projecting a blind spot image of the vehicle taken with a camera, wherein a plurality of virtual ellipsoids are formed by setting an area where a driver's eyes are positioned and the image projector as focuses, and a pattern area formed by a combination of facets of the virtual ellipsoids is disposed at a position where the virtual ellipsoids and the A-pillar meet each other wherein the image from the image projector is displayed on the pattern area.

A vehicular camera module includes a camera having an image sensor and a lens. The image sensor is disposed at a first printed circuit board, and a second printed circuit board is in board-to-board electrical connection with the first printed circuit board. Board-to-board electrical connection between the first and second printed circuit boards is via a multi-wire ribbon connection. A housing houses the first and second printed circuit boards. The housing is configured for mounting at a windshield of a vehicle and, with the vehicular camera module mounted at the windshield of the vehicle, the camera has a field of view external of the vehicle. With the vehicular camera module mounted at the windshield of the vehicle and responsive at least in part to processing by an image processor of image data captured by the image sensor, an object in the field of view of the camera is detected.
