A control device includes circuitry configured to: generate a bird’s-eye view image and a three-dimensional image that show a moving body and surroundings of the moving body, based on respective pieces of imaging data obtained by a plurality of imaging devices of the moving body: cause a display device to display the generated bird’s-eye view image and the generated three-dimensional image; and determine whether a predetermined object is present in a boundary region between the respective pieces of imaging data in the bird’s-eye view image and the three-dimensional image. Upon determining that the predetermined object is present in the boundary region, the circuitry is configured to preferentially change the boundary region in the three-dimensional image among the displayed bird’s-eye view image and the displayed three-dimensional image.

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).

One aspect of the present disclosure is a display processing device including an acquisition unit, a synthesis unit, and a display unit. The acquisition unit is configured to acquire a plurality of images captured by a plurality of cameras provided at a plurality of different positions on a vehicle, the captured images having an overlapping part in which imaging areas of the cameras partially overlap with each other. The synthesis unit combines the captured images acquired by the acquisition unit at the overlapping part of the captured images. The display unit displays the image synthesized by the synthesis unit on a display device mounted on the vehicle. The synthesis unit changes a position of a synthetic boundary, which is a boundary used when combining the captured images, as time passes.

A parking assist method uses a parking assist device which includes a controller configured to, when a subject vehicle travels by manual driving of a driver, determine whether or not the subject vehicle can be parked in a target parking space from a current position by first parking control for parking the subject vehicle by moving the subject vehicle only backward, and when it is determined that the subject vehicle can be parked in the target parking space by the first parking control, enable acceptance of a selection of the driver to execute the first parking control.

Systems and methods for determining an alignment of a trailer relative to a docking bay or a vehicle bay door using dynamic depth filtering. Image data and position data is captured by a 3D camera system with an at least partially downward-facing field of view. When a trailer is approaching the docking bay or door, the captured image data includes a top surface of the trailer. A dynamic height range is determined based on an estimated height of the top surface of the trailer in the image data and a dynamic depth filter is applied to filter out image data corresponding to heights outside of the dynamic height range. An angular position and/or lateral offset of the trailer is determined based on the depth-filtered image data.

A method is disclosed for representing an obscured area of a mobile platform environment relative to an object area of a first and second imaging devices of the mobile platform, including determining a delta-area, being the difference of a second obscured area of the environment which is obscured in respect to the object area at a second time step, and a first obscured area of the environment which is obscured in respect to the object area at a first time step. First and second overlap-images, being an overlap of an image of the first imaging device respectively of an image of the second imaging device with the delta-area, are determined, wherein both images are taken at the first time step. A difference of an optical property of the images is determined, and the difference of the optical property is harmonized within at least one of the overlap-images.

A vehicular vision system includes a rear backup camera at a vehicle. During a driving maneuver, the system partitions each frame of image data captured by the rear backup camera into (i) a left side image data portion, (ii) a right side image data portion and (iii) a rear image data portion. During the driving maneuver, and based at least in part on motion of the vehicle, the system (i) combines left side image data portions of multiple frames of captured image data and (ii) combines right side image data portions of multiple frames of captured image data. During the driving maneuver, the video display displays (i) video images derived from the rear image data portion, video images derived from the combined left side image data portions and the combined right side image data portions for viewing by the driver of the vehicle during the driving maneuver of the vehicle.

A periphery monitoring device includes: an acquisition section acquiring a steering angle of a vehicle; an image acquisition section acquiring a captured image from an image capturing section that captures an image of a periphery of the vehicle; a detection section acquiring detection information of an object around the vehicle; and a control section causing a display section to display a synthesized image including a vehicle image showing the vehicle and a periphery image showing the periphery of the vehicle based on the captured image. When the object is detected on a course of the vehicle traveling at the steering angle by a predetermined distance, the control section causes a virtual vehicle image to be displayed in the synthesized image to be superimposed on a course to the object with a position of the vehicle as a reference.

A driving assisting device includes a vicinity information acquiring unit for acquiring vicinity information regarding an object in the vicinity of a vehicle; an image generating unit for using the vicinity information to generate an overhead image that shows the vehicle together with the vicinity thereof; a communicating unit for acquiring, through wireless communication, target person information able to identify at least a location of a target person outside of the vehicle; a vehicle location identifying unit for identifying a vehicle location and direction; a location identifying unit for identifying a location of the target person in an overhead image and identifying, in the overhead image, a stopping location that is suitable for boarding of the target person, based on the location and direction of the vehicle, identified by the vehicle location identifying unit; and an output image generating unit for generating an output image.

A display system for a paving machine can include a plurality of cameras configured to provide a 360° bird's-eye view of a paving machine and an area surrounding the paving machine; a display operatively coupled to the plurality of cameras showing the 360° bird's-eye view; and a controller coupled to the display, the controller further coupled to a sensor on the paving machine positioned to measure a height of a paving material at one or more locations on the paving machine, wherein when the material height falls below a pre-determined level, the controller sends a warning to the display such that the display shows the 360° bird's-eye view with the material height warning incorporated into the display.
