An image processing unit identifies the shape of an obstacle that is identified from an area that appears in a peripheral image based on an image captured by a camera. The shape of the obstacle includes at least a tilt of a section of the obstacle in a road-surface direction. The section of the obstacle faces a vehicle. The image processing unit generates a superimposed image in which a mark image that is generated as a pattern that indicates the identified obstacle is superimposed onto a position that corresponds to the obstacle in the peripheral image. At this time, the image processing unit variably changes properties of the mark image based on the tilt of the obstacle identified by an obstacle identifying unit. The image processing unit then displays the generated superimposed image on display apparatus.

A vehicular lane keeping system includes a forward-viewing camera disposed at a windshield of a vehicle and an electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU is operable to (i) process map data relating to a current geographic location of the vehicle and (ii) process vehicle information relating to current operation of the vehicle in a traffic lane of a road. Responsive to (i) processing of image data captured by said forward-viewing camera and (ii) processing of the map data and (iii) processing of the vehicle information, the vehicular lane keeping system determines a path of travel for the vehicle that keeps the vehicle in the traffic lane during situations where lane markings are not readily determinable. The vehicular lane keeping system determines the path of travel even when no lane markings are present on the road. The vehicular lane keeping system maintains the vehicle along the determined path of travel.

A vehicular trailer hitching assist system includes a camera disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle and viewing a trailer hitch disposed at the vehicle. Responsive to processing at an electronic control unit (ECU) of frames of image data captured by the camera, a feature of the trailer hitch is detected. The system, at least in part via processing at the ECU of at least one frame of image data captured by the camera, determines a ground location at the ground below the detected feature of the trailer hitch, and determines a location of the trailer hitch at the vehicle. The vehicle is maneuvered toward a trailer for hitching the trailer to the trailer hitch of the vehicle based at least in part on (i) the determined location of the trailer hitch and (ii) the height of the detected feature of the trailer hitch above the ground location.

A work vehicle is provided with a first portion having a frame supported by ground engaging units, and an operator cab with a first (forward) side and opposing second and third sides having respective (i.e., left and right) fields of view. At least a first portion of terrain proximate to the frame (i.e., an area of interest) is obscured from view of an operator in the operator cab during at least a portion of a trajectory of movement of a second portion of the work vehicle (e.g., a boom assembly). At least one imaging device is mounted on the work vehicle and has a field of view including the area of interest throughout the trajectory of movement of the second portion.

A vehicular vision system includes first and second cameras disposed at a vehicle and having respective overlapping fields of view that include a road surface of a road along which the vehicle is traveling. Image data captured by the cameras is provided to an image processor and is processed to determine relative movement of a road feature present in the captured image data. The determined relative movement of the road feature relative to the vehicle in first image data captured by the first camera is compared to the determined relative movement of the road feature relative to the vehicle in second image data captured by the second camera, and at least a rotational offset of the second camera relative to the first camera is determined and the image data are remapped to at least partially accommodate misalignment of the second camera relative to the first camera.

A vehicular multi-camera surround view system includes a front camera, a driver-side camera, a passenger-side camera and a rear backup camera. Image data captured by the cameras is conveyed to an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is operable to combine image data conveyed from the front camera, the driver-side camera, the passenger-side camera and the rear backup camera to form composite video images, which are output for display at a display device. Rear backup video images are displayed no later than two seconds after the driver of the vehicle first changes propulsion of the vehicle during a new ignition cycle to reverse mode. Upon changing propulsion of the vehicle during the new ignition cycle to reverse mode to commence a backup event subsequent to the first backup event, the video display screen displays video images derived, at least in part, from image data captured by the rear backup camera.

A vehicular camera module for a vehicular vision system includes a housing having a front housing portion and a rear housing portion. A circuit board includes a circuit board substrate having electronic circuitry disposed thereat. A thermal interface elastomer material is at an inner surface of the front housing portion. The front housing portion, with the thermal interface elastomer material thereat, is disposed at the circuit board. With the lens assembly optically aligned with the imager, the circuit board is attached at the front housing portion. The rear housing portion is mated with the front housing portion to encase the circuit board. The thermal interface elastomer material interfaces with electronic components of the circuit board when the circuit board is attached at the front housing portion. A connector element in electrical contact with circuitry of the circuit board is configured to connect to a vehicle wire harness.

A recording and reproducing control device includes a video data acquisition unit configured to acquire video data imaged by an imager for at least one of a front view and a rear view of a vehicle; a detector configured to detect that another vehicle gets close in a distance smaller than a predetermined distance to the vehicle while the vehicle is traveling at a predetermined speed or higher; a point-of-view conversion processor configured to perform a point-of-view conversion process for a bird's-eye view on the acquired video data; a recording controller configured to record the acquired video data; a reproduction controller configured to, when reproducing the video data of a period during which the another vehicle getting close in the predetermined distance or smaller to the vehicle is detected, reproduce the converted video data; and a display controller configured to cause a display to display the reproduced video data.

Techniques are described for generating bird's eye view (BEV) images and segmentation maps. According to one or more embodiments, a system is provided comprising a processor that executes computer executable components stored in at least one memory, comprising a machine learning component that generates a synthesized bird's eye view image from a stitched image based on removing artifacts from the stitched image present from a transformation process. The system further comprising a generator that produces the synthesized bird's eye view image and a segmentation map, and a discriminator that predicts whether the synthesized bird's eye view image and the segmentation map are real or generated.

Systems and methods for receiving a video feed from a trailer control module disposed in a vehicle trailer are described. One method includes aggregating a trailer front view, a trailer rear view, a trailer left view, and a trailer right view into an aggregated birds-eye view at a first control module disposed on the trailer, and sending the aggregated view to a vehicle towing the trailer via a single auxiliary video channel integrated into a trailer hitch wiring harness. The method further includes receiving the feed of the birds-eye view at the second control module disposed in the vehicle via the single auxiliary camera input channel, and displaying the trailer birds-eye view video feed at an output display disposed in a cabin of the towing vehicle. The birds-eye view may be output on a split screen in conjunction with a rear-view of the trailer, obtained from a vehicle camera system.
