SHOVEL
A shovel includes a lower traveling body including a pair of crawlers; an upper turning body; an image capturing device; an obtaining device that obtains information related to a situation around the shovel; a detecting part that detects a predetermined object around the shovel; and a display device that displays a peripheral image representing the situation around the shovel. A detection area of the detecting part includes the entirety of an area appearing in the peripheral image displayed on the display device. Areas located in a moving direction of the crawlers, in a state in which the orientation of the upper turning body does not coincide with the moving direction of the crawlers, are included in one or both of a detectable area in which the predetermined object is detectable by the detecting part and a displayable area that is displayable on the display device as the peripheral image.
Collision avoidance and/or pedestrian detection system
A collision avoidance and/or pedestrian detection system for a large passenger vehicle such as commuter bus, which includes one or more exterior and/or interior sensing devices positioned strategically around the exterior and interior of the vehicle for recording data, method for avoiding collisions and/or detecting pedestrians, and features/articles of manufacture for improving same, is described herein in various embodiments. The sensing devices may be responsive to one or more situational sensors, and may be connected to one or more interior and/or exterior warning systems configured to alert a driver inside the vehicle and/or a pedestrian outside the vehicle that a collision may be possible and/or imminent based on a path of the vehicle and/or a position of the pedestrian as detected by one or more sensing devices and/or situational sensors.
Thermal imaging system with multiple selectable viewing angles and fields of view for vehicle applications
Systems and methods to improve safety and more efficient Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle (AV) systems for vehicular operation through the application of multiple thermal sensors arranged in systems where the resolution, Field Of View (FOV), and aiming angle of individual sensors are varied. In particular two configurations are discussed in detail, a three-sensor arrangement for forward and forward off angle data acquisition, and a two or three sensor arrangement for blind spot and pinch point awareness for towing applications. In some forward-looking three-sensor embodiments, the center sensor may provide a high-quality narrow field of view of radiometric data for use with tracking algorithms to identify pedestrian and large animal targets for long range driver identification. The side sensors may provide radiometric data for peripheral vision on short/medium range approaching targets for situational awareness at crosswalks and turning corners.
Vehicle body front structure
A vehicle body front structure includes a pop-up hood unit disposed on a front end portion of an enginehood of a vehicle body and configured to move upward above the enginehood by using a lift-up mechanism. The pop-up hood unit is deformable due to an input of an impact upon a collision with a target for protection. The pop-up hood unit is shaped as a plate that extends in a left-right direction of the vehicle body and has a plate surface having an inclination angle that is variable relative to a horizontal plane.
Surroundings monitoring system for work machine
A surroundings monitoring system for a work machine includes a display device in a cabin of the work machine, an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of the surroundings of the work machine, and a processor configured to generate a surrounding image of the work machine and to cause a monitoring image to be displayed on the display device. The monitoring image includes a work machine image and the surrounding image placed along the periphery of the work machine image. The processor is configured to cause a magnified monitoring image to be displayed on the display device. The magnified monitoring image magnifies a partial area of the surrounding image in the monitoring image. The partial area is centered on a position closer to a predetermined target object included in the surrounding image than to the work machine image and includes the target object.
DISPLAY METHOD, DISPLAY DEVICE, AND DISPLAY SYSTEM
A display method, display device, and display system including a virtual image display device are configured to detect at least another moving object and an object including a fixed object and to display an image in the vicinity of, or in a position superimposed on, the detected object. When another moving object is detected, the virtual image display device regards this moving object as a target to be watched and displays an exaggerating image corresponding to a surrounding object existing near the target to be watched, in a position superimposed on the surrounding object.
Method of integrating cameras in vehicles, corresponding system, circuit, kit and vehicle
The method includes providing a front view camera on a vehicle equipped with radio equipment. Video frames from the front view camera are supplied to video signal handling circuitry in a mobile communication device. The video frames from the front view camera are handled by the video signal handling circuitry under the control of the radio equipment.
Method of integrating driver assistance systems in vehicles, corresponding system, circuit, kit and vehicle
In one embodiment of the present invention, a method includes providing a camera on a vehicle; supplying video frames from the camera to video signal handling circuitry in a mobile communication device; and actuating the video signal handling circuitry in the mobile communication device to produce driver assistance signals based on the video frames.
Vehicular control system with steering adjustment
A vehicular control system includes a forward viewing camera having a field of view forward of the vehicle. A control includes an image processor operable to process image data captured by the camera to determine road curvature of a curved section of a road being traveled by the vehicle. Based on the determined road curvature, the control determines tangents to the determined road curvature along the curved section of the road. The control steers the equipped vehicle along the curved section of the road by adjusting steering of the vehicle to follow the determined tangents to the determined road curvature as the vehicle moves along the curved section of the road.
MOVING ROUTE GUIDANCE DEVICE, MOVING BODY, AND MOVING ROUTE GUIDANCE METHOD
The moving route guidance device includes: display control means configured to execute display control to change at least one of a content and a display position of the route guidance image based on position information of the moving body. The route guidance image includes: a plurality of route identification images respectively corresponding to the plurality of the movable routes that are close to each other and displayed in a manner to correspond to a visually recognized position relationship between the plurality of the movable routes by the driver or a predetermined reference position; and an route instructing image displayed in association with the route identification image that corresponds to the moving route guided by the route guidance image of the plurality of the movable routes.
