A method for an agricultural operation can include presenting a captured image of a field on a display of an electronic device. The image can be captured by an imager operably coupled with the electronic device. The method can further include detecting a geographic position of the electronic device, an imager direction of the imager, and a tilt orientation of the electronic device. The method also can include determining a field of view based on the geographic position, the tilt orientation, and the imager direction. Further, the method can include identifying whether one or more portions of the field within the field of view is a processed segment of the field or an unprocessed segment of the field. Lastly, the method can include visually augmenting the captured image with graphics based at least in part on the identification of the one or more portions of the field.

Disclosed are an around view monitor system and a method of controlling the same. The around view monitor system includes: a travel information receiving unit configured to receive gear information from a transmission of a vehicle; a touch input receiving unit configured to receive a touch signal for a display device provided in the vehicle; and a control unit configured to control an output effect to be applied to image data around the vehicle output to the display device according to the gear information transmitted from the travel information receiving unit and the touch signal transmitted from the touch input receiving unit.

A vehicular display system includes an electronic control unit (ECU) and a plurality of cameras disposed at the vehicle. The cameras capture image data and provide captured image data to the ECU. The system includes a video display screen and a video mirror display screen that are operable to display video images derived from video images provided by the ECU. When the vehicle is traveling forward at a speed below a threshold speed, the ECU generates rearward view video images derived from image data captured by a rearward viewing camera and provides the rearward view video images to the video display screen. When the vehicle is traveling forward at a speed at or above the threshold speed, the ECU generates rearward view video images derived from image data captured by a rearward viewing camera and provides the rearward view video images to the video mirror display screen.

An image processing device for a vehicle includes: an acquisition unit acquiring a captured image of a periphery of a vehicle, which is captured by an imaging unit provided in the vehicle; a bird's eye view image generating unit generating a bird's eye view image in which the captured image is projected to a 3D virtual projection plane provided at a side opposite to the vehicle with reference to a ground and separated from the ground with distance from the vehicle; a guide line generating unit generating a guide line indicating a predicted course of the vehicle; a conversion unit converting the guide line into a virtual guide line indicating the predicted course on the virtual projection plane; and a superimposing unit superimposing the virtual guide line on the bird's eye view image.

A system and method for creating an enhanced perspective view of an area in front of a vehicle, using images from left-front and right-front cameras. The enhanced perspective view removes the distortion and exaggerated perspective effects which are inherent in wide-angle lens images. The enhanced perspective view uses a camera model including a virtual image surface and other processing techniques which provide corrections for two types of problems which are typically present in de-warped perspective images—including a stretching effect at the peripheral area of a wide-angle image de-warped by rectilinear projection, and double image of objects in an area where left-front and right-front camera images overlap.

A bird's eye view image is displayed to be recognized by an operator intuitively and precisely, irrespective of the displayed direction of the bird's eye view image. The display device has a plurality of cameras having optical axis directed obliquely downward to take images around a self-propelled industrial machine. A view point converting section converts the camera images to an upper view point to create bird's eye images, and an image composing section creates a composite bird's eye view image by composing respective bird's eye images around a symbol image of a dump truck. A direction superposing section superposes a forward direction indicator to indicate the forward direction of the dump truck on the composite bird's eye view image, and a monitor mounted in a cab of the dump truck displays the composite bird's eye image in an arbitral direction which is composited with the forward direction indicator.

A camera surround view system for a vehicle includes at least one vehicle camera that supplies camera images processed by a data processing unit to generate an image of the surroundings. The image of the surroundings being displayed on a display unit. The data processing unit re-projects textures, which are detected by the vehicle cameras, on an adaptive re-projection surface, which is similar to the area surrounding the vehicle, the re-projection surface being calculated based on sensor data provided by vehicle sensors. The data processing unit adapts the re-projection surface depending on a position and an orientation of a virtual camera.

Systems and method are provided for a towing vehicle towing a trailer having at least one imaging device. A method includes: receiving, from a first imaging device coupled to the trailer, a first image stream having a plurality of first images; receiving, from a second imaging device coupled to the vehicle, a second image stream having a plurality of second images; determining, at least one common feature between a first image of the first images and a second image of the second images; determining a first distance from the first imaging device to the at least one common feature and a second distance from the second imaging device to the at least one common feature; and determining, a position of the first imaging device relative to the vehicle based on the first distance, the second distance and a known position and pose of the second imaging device.

The present disclosure relates to an around view monitor (AVM) system that provides image information on the ambient conditions of a vehicle to a driver. In displaying a top-view image in which the front, rear, left, and right conditions of a vehicle are seen downward from a portion over the vehicle, an AVM system and method checks a driving state or driving direction of the vehicle on the basis of information received from sensors and elements included in the vehicle, and outputs the top-view image which is suitably edited depending on the driving conditions, thereby providing information necessary for driving to a driver.

A peripheral monitoring device according to one embodiment includes an acquirer configured to acquire a first rear image of a vehicle at first timing, the vehicle including a first coupler device which couples a towed vehicle; and an image processing unit configured to superimpose first identification information on the first rear image at second timing being after the first timing, the first identification information representing a position of the first coupler device at the second timing, and to display, on a display screen, the first rear image on which the first identification information has been superimposed, the display screen configured to be installed in the vehicle.
