A motor vehicle having a rear view device with no wing mirrors is disclosed. The rear view device includes at least one camera, by which at least one part of a rear space/traffic situation can be recorded, and at least one screen, on which the image section recorded by the at least one camera can be displayed. The at least one screen is arranged on a console of a side door protruding towards the vehicle interior, where this console engages at least partially with a recess of the dashboard when the side door is closed.

A vehicle is provided with a driving environment information acquisition section, which acquires driving environment information, which is information on a driving environment of the vehicle. A center is provided with a driving environment evaluation section, which quantitatively evaluates the ease of traveling in the driving environment of the vehicle based on an analysis of the driving environment information acquired by the driving environment information acquisition section. A display section of the vehicle displays the result of evaluation by the driving environment evaluation section.

There is provided a vehicle control apparatus that controls automated driving of a vehicle. The apparatus includes an extraction unit configured to extract an object existing around the vehicle from a scene image representing a peripheral status of the vehicle, and a control unit configured to calculate a moving locus of the object and a moving locus of the vehicle for a predetermined time from time when the scene image is acquired, and generate a moving locus by correcting the moving locus of the object based on the moving locus of the vehicle.

A vehicular vision system includes a driver-side exterior mirror assembly, a passenger-side mirror assembly and an interior mirror assembly. The fields of view of the mirror reflective elements of the exterior mirror assemblies are adjustable by the driver via a respective actuator. The exterior mirror assemblies include respective cameras that each have a respective rearward field of view that supplements the field of view of the mirror reflective element when viewed by the driver of the vehicle. A video display is disposed behind the mirror reflector of an interior mirror reflective element such that displayed video images are viewable through the mirror reflector of the interior mirror reflective element. The video display includes a driver-side display portion and a passenger-side display portion that each display images derived from image data captured by the respective camera while not displaying images derived from image data captured by the other camera.

The present disclosure provides a vehicle driving assistant apparatus, comprising: an infrared image acquiring module for acquiring information of an infrared image of an object ahead of a vehicle; a display module connected with the infrared image acquiring module, for displaying a corresponding image according to the information of the infrared image acquired by the infrared image acquiring module. The disclosure enables the driver to see the road conditions ahead by means of the vehicle driving assistant apparatus even when facing glaring light emitted from ahead when driving at night, thus reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents.

An automatic fog identification method using a front camera image and an emergency fog red LED high beam system using the same are proposed. The emergency fog red LED high beam system is configured such that a red LED module is applied to a high beam light source, thus providing a clear and wide view for a driver without diffused reflection even in a foggy situation.

A camera apparatus of a vehicle is disclosed. The camera apparatus is such that an image quality of an image can be adequately changed in response to brightness of an optical image of a subject to allow a driver to view a bright image even in the night, thereby preventing an accident and enabling a safe driving, a width of a maximally opened door of a vehicle and a width of a parking space are compared to allow a character of whether to park to be combined with an image of a subject and displayed, thereby enabling a driver to safely park the vehicle, and a driver can view a moving object or obstacle at the rear of a vehicle when the driver is driving the vehicle backward, thereby preventing an accident from happening.

A method and an apparatus for detecting a pedestrian by a vehicle during night driving are provided, in which the apparatus includes: a first camera configured to take a first image including color information of a vicinity of the vehicle during night driving; a second camera configured to take a second image including thermal distribution information of the vicinity of the vehicle; a pedestrian detector configured to detect a non-pedestrian area by using the color information from the first image and detect a pedestrian area by excluding the non-pedestrian area from the second image; and a display configured to match and display the pedestrian area on the second image.

A system for detecting an animal in a vicinity of a vehicle is disclosed. The system includes at least one processor programmed to receive, from an image capture device, at least one image of the vicinity of the vehicle; analyze the at least one image using a truncated animal appearance template to detect visual information suspected to be associated with an animal, wherein the truncated animal appearance template corresponds to a portion of a body and one or more limbs of a suspected animal; and initiate a vehicle response based on the detected visual information of the suspected animal in the at least one image.

A camera mount for mounting a camera inside a windshield of a vehicle. The camera includes a lens mount and a camera housing. The front tip of the lens mount is constrained to be in close proximity to or constrained to contact the inside of the windshield for different rake angles of the windshield.
