A control device includes circuitry configured to: generate a bird’s-eye view image and a three-dimensional image that show a moving body and surroundings of the moving body, based on respective pieces of imaging data obtained by a plurality of imaging devices of the moving body: cause a display device to display the generated bird’s-eye view image and the generated three-dimensional image; and determine whether a predetermined object is present in a boundary region between the respective pieces of imaging data in the bird’s-eye view image and the three-dimensional image. Upon determining that the predetermined object is present in the boundary region, the circuitry is configured to preferentially change the boundary region in the three-dimensional image among the displayed bird’s-eye view image and the displayed three-dimensional image.

A vehicular trailering assist system includes a rear backup camera disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle and a video display screen disposed in the vehicle and viewable by a driver of the vehicle. During a reversing maneuver of the vehicle with the trailer hitched thereto, the vehicular trailering assist system determines a projected path of travel of the vehicle with the trailer hitched thereto based at least in part on (i) image data captured by the rear backup camera, (ii) vehicle parameters provided to the vehicular trailering assist system and (iii) trailer parameters provided to the vehicular trailering assist system. During the reversing maneuver of the vehicle with the trailer hitched thereto, the video display screen displays the projected path for viewing by the driver of the equipped vehicle during the reversing maneuver.

A parking assist system includes an acquiring unit, a display unit, and a control unit. In a case where the acquiring unit acquires information about an obstacle on a first target route during traveling of a vehicle along the first target route and thus the vehicle stops traveling along the first target route, the control unit tries to calculate a second target route to a target position from a position where the vehicle stops traveling along the first target route. Upon succeeding in calculating the second target route, the control unit causes the display unit to display surrounding information corresponding to the second target route. Upon failing to calculate the second target route, the control unit causes the display unit to display a notification about an operation method of the vehicle.

The driving support system includes an imaging section installed to a vehicle capable of executing a driving support state, and the imaging section being capable of imaging a imaging subject positioned in surroundings of the vehicle, and a processor connected to the imaging section. The processor is configured to generate image data, determine whether or not a predetermined recording condition has been satisfied, cause the image data to be recorded in the memory in cases in which the recording condition has been determined to have been satisfied, determine whether or not the vehicle is in any of the driving support states, and change the recording condition to a specific recording condition that is the recording condition corresponding to the driving support state of the vehicle in cases in which the vehicle has been determined to be in any of the driving support states.

Leading and trailing electrified vehicles are coupled together in a towing arrangement for in-flight transfer of an electrical charge between their battery systems. With the vehicles connected by a towing device, a parking maneuver is initiated in which the trailing vehicle leads the leading vehicle. For the parking maneuver, one of the vehicles is designated (e.g., automatically or by driver agreement) to be an active steering vehicle and the other vehicle to be a passive steering vehicle. At least the passive steering vehicle comprises an electrically-controlled steering actuator. During movement, a turning (e.g., steering angle) of the active steering vehicle is monitored. Based on the turning of the active steering vehicle, an assistive steering angle is determined for the passive steering vehicle. The electrically-controlled steering actuator is commanded according to the assistive steering angle. The parking maneuver may be reverse or forward.

An optical detection system (100) for a vehicle (1) comprises at least one sensor (4) and a spraying device (5) for spraying a cleaning product onto the glazed surface (21) of this sensor. The sensor (4) is electrically connected to a power-supply and control network (11). According to the invention, the sensor (4) and the spraying device (5) are electrically connected to each other in the aim of controlling the spraying device (5).

A vehicular vision system includes a rear backup camera at a vehicle. During a driving maneuver, the system partitions each frame of image data captured by the rear backup camera into (i) a left side image data portion, (ii) a right side image data portion and (iii) a rear image data portion. During the driving maneuver, and based at least in part on motion of the vehicle, the system (i) combines left side image data portions of multiple frames of captured image data and (ii) combines right side image data portions of multiple frames of captured image data. During the driving maneuver, the video display displays (i) video images derived from the rear image data portion, video images derived from the combined left side image data portions and the combined right side image data portions for viewing by the driver of the vehicle during the driving maneuver of the vehicle.

A method for detecting an object via a vehicular vision system includes disposing first and second cameras at respective locations at a vehicle so as to have respective first and second fields of view rearward of the vehicle. The locations are vertically and horizontally spaced apart by respective vertical and horizontal separation distances. With the first and second cameras disposed at the respective locations, the first field of view at least partially overlaps the second field of view. An electronic control unit (ECU) is provided that includes an image processor. Image data is captured by the cameras and provided to the ECU and processed at the ECU. The ECU, responsive to processing of captured image data and based on the separation distances, determines presence of an object in the overlapping region of the first and second fields of view and determines the location of the object relative to the vehicle.

An external appearance image of a power transmission unit of a wireless power supply device is registered in a parking assist apparatus in association with identification information on the wireless power supply device. The parking assist apparatus superimposes and displays a target parking area image on a parking space image showing a parking space, and superimposes and displays the external appearance image associated with identification information having the same content as the identification information acquired from the wireless power supply device by wireless communication at a position corresponding to an installation position of the power transmission unit on the parking space image.

The present disclosure relates to a method for illustrating the ground underneath a vehicle using an around view monitoring system. The around view monitoring system comprises at least one camera, a processing unit and a display unit. The method comprises taking at least one image on the ground using at least one camera, tracking the position of the ground with respect to the vehicle and visualizing the ground as an under vehicle view and as a function of the vehicle speed, if the vehicle is moved over at least a portion of the ground. An around monitoring system is also provided.
