An example display system for a commercial vehicle includes a camera configured to record images of a blind spot of the commercial vehicle and a wearable augmented reality display device that includes an electronic display and is configured to be worn on the head of a driver of the commercial vehicle. An electronic control unit is configured to display graphical elements on the electronic display that depict at least one of portions of the recorded images and information derived from the recorded images. A method of displaying graphical elements is also disclosed.

A system including a camera mounted on the front section of a vehicle, wherein the camera is configured to be operable for capturing video feeds of the vehicle's proximately 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock position; a display that is configured to view the camera's video feed; a power source that is configured to provide power to the camera and/or display device; and a transmitter for transmitting the camera's video feed to the display.

A vehicular vision system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and having an exterior field of view. The camera includes a wide angle lens providing the field of view and the camera captures an image data set representative of the field of view of the camera. During a driving maneuver of the vehicle, an image processor processes a sub-set of the image data set to determine presence of an object in a sub-portion of the field of view of the camera. The sub-set of the image data set that is processed at the image processor is representative of the sub-portion of the field of view of the camera that is less than the field of view of the camera. The sub-set of the image data set that is processed at the image processor is based on steering direction of the vehicle during the driving maneuver of the vehicle.

A driver-assisting system for an industrial vehicle comprising: a first camera mounted on a vehicle cab for viewing an area in front of the vehicle; an image processing unit operatively connected to said first camera for receiving image data from said first camera; a display unit operatively connected to said image processing unit for displaying image to a user based on said image data; a control unit operatively connected to said first camera for modifying operating parameters of said first camera; wherein the first camera is adapted to provide a wide-angle field of vision, and in that the field of vision of said first camera relative to the vehicle can be adjusted by the control unit.

A processor for a vehicle camera system, the processor arranged to: receive image data captured by a camera, the image data providing a field of view surrounding a host vehicle; determine the presence of an obstruction in the field of view; receive inputs from one or more other sensors; determine the presence or absence of obstructions in a field of view of the one or more other sensors, wherein each determined presence or absence carries an associated confidence score and wherein each confidence score contributes to a confidence total; and control a display to display the image data based on the detection of the obstruction in the field of view provided by the image data and based on a comparison of the confidence total to a confidence threshold.

An interactive vehicle safety system having capabilities to improve peripheral vision, provide warning, and improve reaction time for operators of vehicles. For example, the interactive vehicle safety system may have capabilities for portraying objects, which are being blocked by any of the structural pillars and/or mirrors of a vehicle (such as a truck, van, train, etc.). The interactive vehicle safety system disclosed may comprise one or more image capturing devices (such as camera, sensor, laser), distance and object sensors (such as ultrasonic sensor, LIDAR radar sensor, photoelectric sensor, and infrared sensor), a real-time image processing of an object, and one or more display systems (such as LCD or LED displays). The interactive vehicle safety system may give a seamless 360-degree front panoramic view to a driver.

A vehicle and a method for controlling the vehicle are provided. The vehicle includes a first camera configured to capture a front image of the vehicle; a head-up display configured to project an image onto a windshield of the vehicle; an input device configured to input a boundary line for setting an area in which the image is projected from the windshield; and a controller configured to determine a projection area in which the image is projected based on the inputted boundary line, to determine an interest area of the front image based on the determined projection area and a speed of the vehicle, and to display the determined interest area in the determined projection area on the head-up display.

A camera system for a trailer that cooperates with a tarping system of the trailer to capture images during loading and unloading. The camera transmits the images to a display. A driver may watch the display to monitor loading and unloading. The camera system maintains a camera of the camera system positioned to capture images of an interior of the trailer regardless of the operation of the tarping system. The camera system generally includes an arm member, a pivot structure connected to the arm member, a camera connected to the arm member, and a weight connected to the arm member. Responsive to a force of gravity the camera remains oriented upward to capture images of the interior of the trailer during loading and unloading.

In a mobile object, a camera unit including an optical system that forms an optical image having a high-resolution region and a low-resolution region on a light receiving surface of an image pickup element and is disposed on a side of the mobile object, wherein the camera unit is installed to meet the following conditions: A tan (h/(d1+x))−θv/2<φv<A tan (h/(d2+x))+θv/2, φh_limit=max (A tan ((w1−y)/(d1+x))−θh/2, A tan ((w2−y)/(d2+x))−θh/2), φh limit <φh <−A tan (y/(d1+x))+θh/2, where θv and θh denote a vertical and a horizontal field angle of the high-resolution region, φv and φh denote a vertical and a horizontal direction angle of the optical axis of the optical system, x, y, and h denotes offsets, and w1 and w2 denote predetermined widths on the ground at the distances d1 and d2.

A vehicle vision system includes an extender element disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle. The extender element includes an extender portion and an end portion, with the end portion viewable to a viewer who is viewing the rear portion of the vehicle. The end portion includes at least one selected from the group consisting of (i) a vehicle emblem and (ii) a vehicle logo. A rear backup camera assembly is at least partially disposed in the extender portion of the extender element. The rear backup camera assembly is disposed with its lens viewing exterior of the vehicle. The extender element is incapable of extending such that the rear backup camera assembly is non-movable relative to the rear portion of the vehicle when disposed at the rear portion of the vehicle.
