An image processing apparatus includes an input interface to acquire an image, and first to fourth controllers. The first controller performs image processing on the image. The second controller performs correction on an optical distortion in the image. The third controller performs recognition on the image. The fourth controller superimposes a result of the recognition onto the image and outputs a resulting image. The first controller can perform first and second image processing. The second controller can perform first and second correction processing. The third controller receives an input of the image, and outputs information indicating a location of a recognized object. The fourth controller receives an input of the image, and superimposes a drawing indicating the location of the recognized object onto a corresponding location in the image.

A vehicle control device includes a display configured to display information, an inputter to which a user's operation is input, a driving controller configured to control at least one of a speed and steering of a vehicle, a determiner configured to determine a lane in which the vehicle is present when a first operation that allows a lane change by the vehicle is input to the inputter as a reference lane, and a display controller that is configured to cause the display to display a first image depicting a road on which the vehicle is present and a second image depicting the reference lane which are superimposed.

In an embodiment, a rearview system detects the present and information regarding one or more second vehicles. The system uses the information regarding the second vehicles to determine whether a collision may occur. In the event of a predictive collision, the system provides the user a warning. In another embodiment, the rearview system presents video data having different fields-of-capture. In another embodiment, the system includes a user interface that includes a display and a haptic pad. The display presents information. The haptic pad enables the user to provide information to the system. A location on the haptic pad corresponds to a location on the display. The user may manipulate the haptic pad to activate icons presented on the display.

A method for reproducing a map display depending on a driving situation, a device for reproducing a map display depending on a driving situation, and a transportation vehicle having a corresponding device. The method includes detecting one or more driving situation-dependent parameters, wherein at least one driving situation-dependent parameter is based on the geographical position; setting one or more display properties of the map display depending on the one or more detected driving situation-dependent parameters; and reproducing the set map display using a display device. This allows a map display adequate for a situation to be provided to a transportation vehicle operator, the map display clearly and intelligibly reproducing the information relevant to the present driving situation.

A vehicular driving assistance system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and a control having an image processor that processes image data captured by the camera to determine lane markings demarcating a traffic lane in which the vehicle is traveling. The control, responsive to a map input to the control, estimates a path of travel for the vehicle to maintain the vehicle in the traffic lane in which the vehicle is traveling in situations where the lane markings demarcating the traffic lane in which the vehicle is traveling are not readily determinable. The system updates the estimated path of travel ahead of the vehicle even when no lane markings are determined present on the road ahead of the vehicle. The control adjusts processing of captured image data responsive at least in part to a driving situation that the vehicle is in.

The present invention relates to an image output device mounted on a vehicle to implement augmented reality. One or more of an autonomous driving vehicle, a user terminal, and a server of the present invention can be linked to an artificial intelligence module, a drone (unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV), a robot, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, a device related to 5G services, etc.

A road line determination method and apparatus is provided. The method includes: performing detection of two road lines of a lane in which the vehicle is driving from a driving image; determining whether at least one road line of the two road lines is not detected; if it is determined that the at least one road line is not detected, determining at least one road line for the at least one undetected road line based on first information about a drivable road area comprising the road; and controlling driving of the vehicle based on the at least one determined road line.

An apparatus, system, method, and/or non-transitory computer readable media of a distance estimation apparatus including at least one camera includes obtaining a bounding box corresponding to a target vehicle on the basis of an image obtained through the at least one camera, obtaining a first rectilinear distance to the target vehicle, obtaining a first world width on the basis of the first rectilinear distance and a width of the bounding box, obtaining a second ratio of a region, corresponding to a rear surface of the target vehicle, of a region of the bounding box on the basis of a first ratio, and calculating a second world width of the target vehicle on the basis of the second ratio, wherein the first ratio represents a ratio of the rear surface and a side surface of the target vehicle.

A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror reflective element assembly. The mirror reflective element assembly includes a main reflective element backing plate and a main reflective element. The main reflective element includes a glass substrate having a mirror reflector coated at a surface thereof. The mirror reflector-coated glass substrate of the main reflective element is attached at the main reflective element backing plate. The mirror reflective element assembly includes an auxiliary reflective element backing plate and an auxiliary wide angle reflective element. The auxiliary wide angle reflective element is positioned on the auxiliary reflective element backing plate. The auxiliary reflective element backing plate is attached to the main reflective element backing plate via an attachment mechanism.

A map points-of-change detection device includes: a camera capturing an image of an area around a vehicle; a bird's-eye-view transformation section transforming the image into a bird's-eye view image; a map storage portion storing a road map including a road surface map; a collation processing section determining whether a point of change in the road surface map exits, the point of change being a position at which a change has occurred on an actual road surface; and a collation region identification section that determines a region for collation in a width direction of the vehicle from the bird's-eye view image.
