Parking assist apparatus
A parking assist apparatus includes an ECU. The ECU displays a first left support image on a predetermined display area of a touch panel display section so that an entire area of a tentative target parking space is displayed within the predetermined display area, based on a relative position of the tentative target parking space with respect to a vehicle.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING RELATIVE TRAILER ANGLE
A method and system are disclosed for estimating and using a trailer angle of a trailer relative to a vehicle connected to thereto. The method includes receiving image data from at least one first camera disposed on a vehicle and from at least one second camera disposed on a trailer coupled to the vehicle, and identifying matched point pairs by matching points in the image data from the at least one first camera with points in the image data from the at least one second camera, the points matched not being points of a representation of the vehicle or a representations of the trailer in the image data. The trailer angle of the trailer relative to the vehicle is estimated based upon the matched point pairs.
VEHICULAR COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM
A vehicular collision avoidance system includes a forward-viewing camera viewing through the windshield at least forward of the equipped vehicle, a rearward-sensing radar sensor sensing at least rearward of the equipped vehicle, and an electronic control unit. The vehicular collision avoidance system detects vehicles present forward and/or rearward of the equipped vehicle. Responsive to data processing of radar data captured by the rearward-sensing radar sensor, the vehicular collision avoidance system detects another vehicle approaching the equipped vehicle from the rear, determines distance between the equipped vehicle and the other vehicle, and determines speed difference between the equipped vehicle and the other vehicle. Based at least in part on the determined distance between the equipped vehicle and the other vehicle and the determined speed difference between the equipped vehicle and the other vehicle, the vehicular collision avoidance system controls the equipped vehicle to mitigate impact by the other vehicle.
Parking assist system
A parking assist system includes a control device configured to control screen display of a display device, to set the parking position candidate selected by an occupant as a target parking position, and to control an autonomous parking operation to autonomously move the vehicle to the target parking position. When multiple parking position candidates partially overlapping with each other are detected by a parking position candidate detector, the control device causes the display device to display the multiple parking position candidates so as to partially overlap with each other and to be selectable.
VEHICLE DRIVING ASSIST SYSTEM
A vehicle driving assist system includes a controller and a display. The controller is configured to generate a bird’s-eye view image based on information on images around a vehicle, respectively captured by cameras, and acquire a target route from a current location of the vehicle to a target stop location set by a driver. The display is configured to display the bird’s-eye view image and the target route and allow the driver to use the bird’s-eye view image to set a no entry area. The controller is configured to, when the controller determines that the vehicle enters the no entry area if the vehicle moves along the target route, correct the target route such that the vehicle does not enter the no entry area and cause the vehicle to move to the target stop location along the corrected target route and stop at the target stop location.
Multi-camera vehicular vision system
A vehicular vision system includes a front camera and a rear camera disposed at a vehicle and each viewing exterior of the vehicle. Each of the cameras connects with a control via a respective mono coaxial cable. The respective mono coaxial cables carry control data from the control to the respective cameras and carry image data captured by the respective cameras to the control. The control generates an output provided to a video display device of the vehicle. The video display device includes a video display screen viewable by a driver of the vehicle. During a reversing maneuver of the vehicle, the video display screen displays video images of an area rearward the vehicle derived from image data captured by the rear camera and carried to the control by the respective mono coaxial cable.
Parking assistance device
A parking assistance device includes a parking region detection unit configured to periodically detect a parking-possible space in which the own-vehicle can be parked based on a result of detection by an external image capturing camera and a sonar configured to periodically detect the status of surroundings of the own-vehicle, a candidate region selection unit configured to select a parking candidate space as a parking candidate for the own-vehicle among the parking-possible spaces detected by the parking region detection unit, and a display control unit configured to cause a touch panel to display a surrounding image in which a parking position image illustrating a parking position is superimposed on the parking candidate space selected by the candidate region selection unit, and the candidate region selection unit continuously selects, as the parking candidate space, the parking-possible space corresponding to the selected parking candidate space for a predetermined duration.
Vehicle periphery display device
A vehicle periphery display device includes: an image acquisition unit that acquires a captured image from an imaging unit that images a periphery of a vehicle; and a control unit that causes a display unit to display a three-dimensional image representing the vehicle and a periphery of the vehicle based on the captured image, from a viewpoint which is located on a side opposite to a candidate of a target parking position with respect to a position of the vehicle and which faces a far side of the candidate of the target parking position, in a case where the target parking position for parking the vehicle is set.
Trailer angle detection system using rear camera of vehicle
A vehicular trailer assist system includes a control that includes an image processor for processing image data captured by the camera representative of at least a portion of a trailer hitched to the vehicle. The control determines whether the trailer has been previously hitched to the vehicle. Responsive to the trailer not being previously hitched, the control operates in a trailer initial calibration mode. Responsive to the control recognizing the trailer, the control operates in a recognized trailer calibration mode. The control obtains calibration data unique to the hitched trailer. The control, responsive to obtaining the calibration data, processes image data captured by the camera using the calibration data to locate the current position of the trailer relative to the vehicle. The control, responsive to locating the current position of the trailer relative to the vehicle, determines a trailer angle based on the located current position.
Vehicular trailering assist system
A vehicular trailering assist system includes a vehicle rear backup camera disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle and viewing at least rearward of the vehicle. A trailer hitched to the vehicle includes a trailer rear camera disposed at a rear portion of the trailer and viewing at least rearward of the trailer. The control displays at a display device in the vehicle a surround view image using an avatar of the vehicle and an avatar of the trailer. The control stitches images derived from image data captured by the vehicle rear backup camera and images derived from the trailer rear camera to provide a transparent trailer view, and the display device displays transparent trailer view video images. Responsive to the vehicle being shifted into a reverse gear, the display device automatically displays rear backup images derived from image data captured by the trailer rear camera.
