A target determination method includes: acquiring a captured monitoring image, performing target detection on the monitoring image to obtain at least one initial target, determining in turn whether each initial target is a true target, and taking all true targets as final targets. The determination of target box parameters includes: determining a three-dimensional model of a target according to the target; moving the position of the three-dimensional model in a world coordinate system associated with image coordinates; and transforming the three-dimensional model in the position to an image coordinate system to obtain the target box parameters; Or, the determination of target box parameters includes: acquiring a historical monitoring image; performing target detection on the historical monitoring image to obtain a target box of the target; and determining the target box parameters according to the target box.

A method of assisting a driver of a vehicle with visualization of an ambient environment comprises generating a mirror image signal corresponding to a field of view of a traditional driving mirror. A surround image signal corresponding to a field of view of an ambient environment adjacent the vehicle is generated. A vehicle speed signal is generated. The mirror image signal, the surround image signal, and the vehicle speed signal are received, and at least one of a driver mirror signal and a driver surround signal is responsively produced. A video image corresponding to at least one of the driver mirror signal and the driver surround signal is selectively displayed to the driver. A frame rate of at least one of the mirror image signal and the surround image signal is adjusted by the signal processor responsive to the vehicle speed signal. A drive assist system is also provided.

The present invention discloses an around view synthesis system, including: a plurality of cameras each mounted in a vehicle to capture respective different areas around the vehicle; a boundary setting unit setting a synthesis boundary of images captured in an overlapping region where images captured by the plurality of cameras are overlapped; and an image synthesizer receiving the images captured by the plurality of cameras and synthesizing the received images according to the synthesis boundary set by the boundary setting unit.

A camera system is installed on the front end of a vehicle, either on the left front, the right front, or both sides. The camera is linked via wired or wireless connection to an onboard computer and a navigation display that is located within the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The driver reviews a visual description on the display of any oncoming traffic in the form of motor vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, animals and the like on the navigation display via a single screen, split screen or alternating screens. The camera system can include a speed sensor that detects when the vehicle reaches a threshold speed to activate or de-activate the camera. Alternatively, the computer can activate the system when a turn signal is activated, and de-activate the system when the turn signal is no longer activated. This camera system can be retrofitted into older vehicles.

A method for detecting an object via a vehicular vision system includes disposing first and second cameras at respective locations at a vehicle so as to have respective first and second fields of view rearward of the vehicle. The locations are vertically and horizontally spaced apart by respective vertical and horizontal separation distances. With the first and second cameras disposed at the respective locations, the first field of view at least partially overlaps the second field of view. An electronic control unit (ECU) is provided that includes an image processor. Image data is captured by the cameras and provided to the ECU and processed at the ECU. The ECU, responsive to processing of captured image data and based on the separation distances, determines presence of an object in the overlapping region of the first and second fields of view and determines the location of the object relative to the vehicle.

For a vehicle (1) with a tractor (2) and a trailer (3), a view system has a capture unit (10) with an image sensor (12) for capturing image data of an area of view, around the vehicle, a processing unit (20) for processing the image data, and a reproduction unit (30) for reproducing at least one first image section (410) and one second image section (420) of the area of view (40) captured by the capture unit (10). The processing unit provides different resolutions of image data depending on the position of the tractor with respect to the trailer.

A vehicular vision system includes a camera fixedly mounted at a vehicle. The camera has a central viewing axis that bisects a total available field of view exterior of the vehicle of the camera into an at least 90 degrees zone to the left and to the right of the central viewing axis. During a driving maneuver of the vehicle, a video display screen displays video images representative of a reduced field of view of the camera that is less than the total available field of view exterior of the vehicle. During the driving maneuver of the vehicle, and as the steering angle of the vehicle is adjusted toward the right side or left side of the vehicle, the reduced field of view of the camera digitally pans toward the respective right side or left side of the total available field of view exterior of the vehicle of the camera.

A display control device includes: a reception unit that receives an input for designating a first point on a first image, which is displayed on a display screen provided in a vehicle compartment and shows a peripheral environment of a vehicle at a first timing; a display processing unit that displays a first display object at the first point; a specifying unit that specifies a second point at which a first target, which is located at the first point, is located on a second image, which shows the peripheral environment of the vehicle at a second timing after the first timing; and an update unit that displays, along with the second image, the first display object at the second point on the second image.

A camera monitor system including a first mirror replacement assembly including a housing supporting a rear facing camera and a rear facing range sensor, a controller in communication with the mirror replacement assembly, the controller including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions for identifying at least one object in an image feed from the camera and determining an angular position of the object using image analysis, identifying a distance of the at least one object from the mirror replacement assembly using the range sensor; and fusing the distance and the angular position of the object into a single data set, and a display connected to the controller and configured to display a mirror replacement view including at least a portion of the image feed.

A control device includes: a display control unit configured to display a candidate position image on the display device when a candidate position is detected; and a reception unit configured to receive an operation of selecting a candidate position image indicating a candidate position to be set as a target position from among a plurality of candidate position images when the plurality of candidate position images are displayed on the display device. When the plurality of candidate position images are displayed in an overlapped manner and one candidate position image among the plurality of candidate position images is selected, and when an operation is performed on an operation valid region on a display screen, the reception unit changes the selected candidate position image to another candidate position image among the plurality of candidate position images. The operation valid region is a region including the plurality of candidate position images.
