A method for operating a vehicle camera system including receiving a first image from at least one video camera, identifying a first object in the first image, determining a distance between a vehicle component and the identified object, modifying the first image by incorporating a human machine interface (HMI) within the first image, wherein the human machine interface includes a display configured to communicate the distance between the object and the vehicle component, and displaying the modified image to a vehicle operator.

A method for displaying and processing an image captured by an optical system used to simulate a rear-view system of a vehicle, includes capturing the image, calculating a region of interest (ROI) on the captured image, calculating a blur factor for blurring the ROI using one or more inputs, manipulating an image gradient pixel by pixel using the blur factor to reduce at least one of a brightness or a contrast of one or more pixels of the ROI, and displaying the processed image on a display.

An image display control device according to an embodiment includes an image generator configured to generate a display image to be displayed on a display device, the display image containing a vehicle exterior image based on at least a part of a captured image by an imager an imaging area of which is from a direction in which a rear end of a vehicle body can be captured to a direction upward from a horizontal direction and a rearward of a vehicle; an area changer configured to change an area of the captured image to be contained in the display image for forward travel and backward travel of the vehicle; and a display controller configured to control the display device to display the display image.

According to one embodiment, a vehicle periphery monitoring apparatus comprises: an outside-view camera; a display; and an image processor. The image processor is to acquire information about the position of a driver's viewpoint, information about the position of the display, information about the position of a virtual mirror for geometrically transforming an image picked up by the outside-view camera to an image viewed from the viewpoint, and to generate a mirror-displaying image to be displayed on the virtual mirror, from the information about the position of the viewpoint, information about the position of the display, information about the position of the virtual mirror and the image picked up by the outside-view camera. The image processor generates data representing a mirror frame surrounding the mirror-displaying image, and causes the display to display the mirror frame and the mirror-displaying image in the mirror frame.

A display system includes a plurality of display screens and a display controller. The plurality of display screens are disposed in front of the driver of the vehicle in a vertical direction in a row such that the distance from the viewpoint position of the driver differs, and present images showing predetermined information to the driver. The display controller is configured to display the images with a lower color temperature on the plurality of display screens, as the distance from the viewpoint position is longer.

Disclosed herein are a display system of a vehicle and a method of driving the same. The display system includes a plurality of camera modules configured to capture a front side, a rear side, a rear left side, and a rear right side relative to the vehicle and generate image data, a plurality of display panels configured to receive the image data and display front side images, rear side images, rear left side images, and rear right side images relative to the vehicle, a driver pupil detection sensor configured to sense a pupil of a driver and generate pupil position data, a driver posture detection sensor configured to sense a position of the driver, a body direction thereof, and a head height thereof and generate posture data, a calculator configured to calculate a position of a field of view of the driver on the basis of the pupil position data and the posture data and generate a display correction value on the basis of the position of the field of view, and a display correction device configured to adjust a horizontal tilt and a vertical tilt of each of the plurality of display panels on the basis of the display correction value.

A vision system for a vehicle is provided including a camera for capturing images within a field of view; a display device movably mounted relative to the vehicle for displaying a portion of the field of view of the camera; a movement sensor for sensing movement of the display device; and a processing circuit in communication with the movement sensor, the display device, and the camera for selecting the portion of the field of view to be displayed on the display device in response to movement of the display device as sensed by the movement sensor.

A display control device is disposed in a vehicle in which a camera photographing a first captured image indicating an image on a rear right side of the vehicle and a display displaying the first captured image are mounted. The display control device includes an image acquiring unit acquiring the first captured image from the camera and a display control unit controlling the first captured image displayed on the display. The display control unit causes the display to display one of a narrow angle image indicating a part of the first captured image and a wide angle image indicating an image in a range wider than the narrow angle image in the first captured image and to display the first captured image such that a size of a first region in displaying the wide angle image is larger than a size of the first region displaying the narrow angle image.

A vehicular display system includes an electronic control unit (ECU), a plurality of bird's eye surround view cameras and a plurality of camera monitoring system (CMS) 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 the CMS cameras 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 and provides the rearward view video images to the video mirror display screen.

An imaging device that includes an imaging unit included K imaging elements, a display unit included K display areas, an image signal generation unit that generates partial image signals based on imaging signals output from the imaging unit, and outputs image signals to the display unit, and a timing control unit that outputs a timing when the image processing generation unit outputs the image signal based on display output line information and image processing line information, and the image processing generation unit outputs an image signal indicating an image to be displayed in a display target line in a case where the display output line information and the image processing line information indicate the display target line.
