A vehicle includes a camera unit disposed in the vehicle to have a plurality of channels and configured to obtain an image around the vehicle, the camera unit including one or more cameras, a sensing device including an ultrasonic sensor, the sensing device configured to obtain distance information between an object and the vehicle, and a controller configured to match a part of the image around the vehicle with at least one mask, form map information based on the at least one mask and the distance information, determine at least one control point based on the map information, and obtain the image around the vehicle based on a priority of the camera unit corresponding to a surrounding type of the vehicle determined based on the control point.

A vehicular trailer assist system includes a rearward viewing camera disposed at a vehicle that views a trailer hitched at a fifth wheel hitch at a bed of the vehicle. With the trailer hitched to the fifth wheel hitch at the bed of the vehicle, the vehicular trailer assist system, via processing fisheye-view frames of image data captured by the camera, transforms fisheye-view frames of image data captured by the rearward viewing camera into bird's-eye view frames of image data. The vehicular trailer assist system determines a region of interest (ROI) in a transformed bird's-eye view frames of image data that includes a region where the fifth wheel hitch is present. The vehicular trailer assist system, via a Hough transform that transforms the determined ROI from a Cartesian coordinate system to a polar coordinate system, determines a trailer angle of the trailer relative to the vehicle.

The described techniques relate to predicting object behavior based on top-down representations of an environment comprising top-down representations of image features in the environment. For example, a top-down representation may comprise a multi-channel image that includes semantic map information along with additional information for a target object and/or other objects in an environment. A top-down image feature representation may also be a multi-channel image that incorporates various tensors for different image features with channels of the multi-channel image, and may be generated directly from an input image. A prediction component can generate predictions of object behavior based at least in part on the top-down image feature representation, and in some cases, can generate predictions based on the top-down image feature representation together with the additional top-down representation.

A vehicular trailer assist system includes a rearward viewing camera viewing a trailer hitched at a fifth wheel hitch at a bed of the vehicle. With the trailer hitched to the vehicle, the vehicular trailer assist system transforms fisheye-view frames of image data captured by the rearward viewing camera into bird's-eye view frames of image data. The vehicular trailer assist system determines the fifth wheel hitch within a transformed bird's-eye view frame of image data. The vehicular trailer assist system warps the transformed bird's-eye view frame of image data, which includes (i) an X-axis that indicates change in a trailer angle of the trailer relative to the vehicle and (ii) a Y-axis that indicates distance from the fifth wheel hitch. The vehicular trailer assist system, using the X-axis of the warped transformed bird's-eye view frame of image data, determines the trailer angle of the trailer relative to the vehicle.

A vehicular image processing system includes: a plurality of first camera units configured to acquire a recognition image which is used for a recognition process of recognizing an object present in a nearby area of a vehicle; a recognition unit configured to perform the recognition process; and a communication unit communicatively connected to the first camera units and the recognition unit and configured to receive the recognition images transmitted from the first camera units and to transmit the recognition images to the recognition unit. The communication unit is configured to transmit the recognition images to the recognition unit such that timings of transmission of the recognition images received from the plurality of first camera units to the recognition unit differ. The recognition unit is configured to perform the recognition process using the recognition images received from the communication unit.

Methods and systems for detecting a surrounding environment around a vehicle and a trailer coupled to the vehicle. The system includes a plurality of cameras attached to and configured to detect image data. The system also includes an electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle communicatively coupled to the plurality of cameras and configured to combine the image data from the plurality of cameras.

Systems and methods for assisting drivers to maneuver a vehicle include a plurality of image sensors about a vehicle capture image data. At least one processor is programmed to display one or more types of overhead views on a vehicle display based on the image data. For example, an environment-fixed overhead composite image can be displayed on the vehicle display. In the environment-fixed overhead composite image, an environment about the vehicle is displayed spatially fixed as the vehicle is maneuvered, and a graphical image representing the vehicle moves within the environment-fixed overhead composite image as the vehicle maneuvered. This type of overhead view can be shown when, for example, distance between the vehicle and a target object is below a threshold.

A multi-camera vision system is utilized onboard a work vehicle having an operator cabin and an apparatus associated with performance of a work task. The system includes: one or more display devices defining a plurality of display areas and a plurality of cameras carried by the work vehicle and coupled to display feeds at the display areas. A first camera of the cameras is oriented to selectively provide a first selected feed of at least a portion of the apparatus during performance of the work task. A controller is configured to display the first selected feed of the selected feeds with an insert, overlay, or icon that indicates the origin and orientation of the first camera as the first selected feed depicts performance of the work task by the apparatus.

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.
