A hub that receives sensor data streams and then distributes the data streams to the various systems that use the sensor data. A demultiplexer (demux) receives the streams, filters out undesired streams and provides desired streams to the proper multiplexer (mux) or muxes of a series of muxes. Each mux combines received streams and provides an output stream to a respective formatter or output block. The formatter or output block is configured based on the destination of the mux output stream, such as an image signal processor, a processor, memory or external transmission. The output block reformats the received stream to a format appropriate for the recipient and then provides the reformatted stream to that recipient.

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 movement of the road feature relative to the vehicle in first image data captured by the first camera is compared to the determined 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 at the vehicle relative to the first camera at the vehicle is determined and the image data are remapped to at least partially accommodate misalignment of the second camera relative to the first camera.

A driving assistance apparatus is provided in which the detection range of a left-front-corner sonar (12a) located at the vehicle's left front corner is included in the field of view of a second imaging means (14) located at the vehicle's left front corner. When the left-front-corner sonar (12a) detects a three-dimensional object at the vehicle's left front corner, an image processing means (3) synthesizes an image of the image created using a second imaging means (14) and the images created with four cameras (7a-7d) for imaging the complete periphery of the vehicle, and creates a bird's-eye-view image (40b). The detection range of the left-front-corner sonar (12a) is included within a region of the bird's-eye image (40b) on the basis of the image created with the second imaging means (14).

The automatic parking apparatus includes: an image generation unit configured to generate an image of surroundings of an own vehicle photographed by a monitor device; a display unit; an input device configured to receive, a first touch input by the user for designating a parking place; a parking area calculation unit configured to determine whether a parking space for the own vehicle is available; a moving path calculation unit configured to determine at least one moving path candidate for guiding the own vehicle from a current location to a parking area, and to display the moving path candidate on the display unit; and a vehicle control processing unit configured to guide and control the own vehicle from the current location to the parking area in accordance with one moving path confirmed by the user operation from among the at least one moving path candidate.

An image creation device is provided with an image acquisition unit acquiring multiple captured images of a peripheral area, a detection unit detecting a three-dimensional object present in the peripheral area, a first conversion unit converting the multiple captured images into multiple individual overhead images to create a first conversion image by means of an overall overhead image, a second conversion unit creating a second conversion image in which an image captured from a virtual camera is converted in accordance with the conversion rule, the virtual camera being virtually arranged at a virtual position set on the vehicle such that a virtual optical axis direction faces the direction of the three-dimensional object, and a synthesis unit synthesizes the second conversion image on the first conversion image to create a synthesis image.

Provided is an automotive around view image providing method using a machine learning model. The method includes: receiving, by an image processing device, a plurality of images obtained by a plurality of cameras mounted on a car; inputting, by the image processing device, the plurality of images to a neural network encoder to generate a feature vector for each of the plurality of images; and combining, by the image processing device, feature vectors for the plurality of images into one image form and inputting the one image form to the neural network decoder to generate a matched one image. The neural network decoder includes a filter for performing matching on adjacent images having an overlapping area among the plurality of images based on the feature vector for the plurality of images.

The driver assist apparatus comprises an ECU. When a customization button is touched while the ECU is displaying a surrounding monitoring screen that includes a surrounding image and the customization button, the ECU starts displaying a customization screen in place of the surrounding monitoring screen. When a predetermined condition is satisfied while the ECU is displaying the customization screen, the ECU starts displaying an alert screen in place of the customization screen.

An image processing device according to an embodiment exemplarily includes, as an example: a processor that acquires a taken image obtained by imaging surroundings of a vehicle by an imaging unit mounted on the vehicle; projects the taken image to a stereoscopic projection plane including the vehicle and a first projection region rising above the vehicle and produces a composite image of the stereoscopic projection plane when viewed from a virtual viewpoint; causes a display to display the composite image; determines a target parking region in which the vehicle is parked in the stereoscopic projection plane; and shifts at least a part of a movement path of the vehicle from a position of the vehicle to the target parking region and the target parking region of the vehicle to a second projection region horizontal to the vehicle.

A vehicle parking assist apparatus can register information on a first parking lot as first parking lot information and information on a second parking lot as second parking lot information. The first parking lot information includes information on a camera image of the first parking lot, and the second parking lot information includes information on the camera image of the second parking lot The vehicle parking assist apparatus executes a parking assist control to display the registered camera image of the first parking lot as a first parking lot image and the registered camera image of the second parking lot as a second parking lot image on a display when the camera images which represent the first parking lot and the second parking lot are requested to be displayed on the display.

A parking assist apparatus includes an ECU. The ECU displays a first left support image on a predetermined display area of a touch panel display section so that an entire area of a tentative target parking space is displayed within the predetermined display area, based on a relative position of the tentative target parking space with respect to a vehicle.
