A motor vehicle includes a left side view camera attached to the left lateral side of the body and having a field of view in a rearward direction. A right side view camera is attached to the right lateral side of the body and has a field of view in a rearward direction. There is a right back up camera and a left back up camera. An optics module receives resulting video signals and produces light fields such that the light fields are reflected off of windows of the motor vehicle and are then visible to a driver of the motor vehicle as virtual images.

A vehicle-mounted display device includes a glass plate that includes a first arcuate surface at a first outer circumferential edge part, the first arcuate surface facing a front surface side, a casing that supports the glass plate from a rear surface side, the casing including a housing and a frame that projects from the housing, and a display unit stored in the casing configured to output a display light toward the glass plate. A rear surface of the glass plate and a front surface of the frame face each other at a spaced distance. The frame further includes a projection that projects, within the spaced distance, from the front surface of the frame toward the rear surface of the glass plate at a second outer circumferential edge part of the front surface of the frame, and the projection includes a second arcuate surface.

A method of processing a vehicle image includes obtaining a first image from at least one vehicle exterior camera when a vehicle is in a first position. An obstructed area is identified in the first image. At least one previously captured image is obtained from the at least one vehicle exterior camera when the vehicle is in a second position different from the first position. An unobstructed area of the at least one previously captured image that corresponds to at least a portion of the obstructed area of the first image is identified. The unobstructed area is stitched into at least a portion of the obstructed area to create a corrected image that corresponds to the first image with at least a portion of the obstructed area removed. The corrected image is displayed on a display in the vehicle.

A rearview apparatus for a vehicle includes a first measurement device configured to detect a vehicle orientation. The first measurement device is in connection with a portion of the vehicle that maintains a fixed relationship relative to a body of the vehicle. A second measurement device is configured to detect an apparatus orientation of the rearview apparatus, which is adjustable relative to the body of the vehicle. A controller is in communication with the first measurement device and the second measurement device. The controller is configured to identify an orientation difference between the vehicle orientation and the apparatus orientation.

An apparatus including an interface and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive video frames generated by a plurality of capture devices. The processor may be configured to perform operations to detect objects in the video frames received from a first of the capture devices, determine depth information corresponding to the objects detected, determine blending lines in response to the depth information, perform video stitching operations on the video frames from the capture devices based on the blending lines and generate panoramic video frames in response to the video stitching operations. The blending lines may correspond to gaps in a field of view of the panoramic video frames. The blending lines may be determined to prevent the objects from being in the gaps in the field of view. The panoramic video frames may be generated to fit a size of a display.

An image display apparatus has: a synthesizing device (132) for synthesizing a rear image (111B) captured by a rear imaging device (11B) for imaging a rear area of the vehicle (1) and a first rear side image (111BL, 111BR) captured by a first rear side imaging device (11BL, 11BR) for imaging a first rear side area of the vehicle to generate a synthesized image (111C); and a displaying device (14) for displaying the synthesized image. The synthesizing device varies a proportion of an area of each of the rear image and the first rear side image to the synthesized image on the basis of a first information relating to a first turn indicator configured to operate to inform that the vehicle travels rightward or leftward.

A vehicular vision system includes a rearward-viewing camera disposed at a vehicle and viewing at least rearward of the vehicle. The rearward-viewing camera connects with a control via a cable. The cable carries control data from the control to the rearward-viewing camera and carries image data captured by the rearward-viewing camera from the rearward-viewing camera 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 rearward-viewing camera and carried to the control by the cable. Image data captured by the rearward-viewing camera is processed at an image processor to detect an object present rearward of the vehicle.

A hazardous behavior determining unit (3) determines a vehicle that is conducting or is likely to conduct hazardous driving from among one or more vehicles around a host vehicle and a type of the hazardous driving using information indicating states of the host vehicle and the vehicles and a surrounding situation and behavior information stored in an onboard database (2). A registered vehicle identifying unit (5) identifies a vehicle that corresponds to hazardous vehicle information stored in the onboard database (2) by collating numbers of a license plate detected by a number detecting unit (4) with numbers stored in the onboard database (2). A hazard predicting unit (6) predicts a risk to the host vehicle using the determination result from the hazardous behavior determining unit (3) and the identification result from the registered vehicle identifying unit (5).

A vehicular control system includes a first communication device disposed at a first vehicle, a second communication device disposed at a second vehicle, a camera disposed at the second vehicle, and an electronic control unit (ECU) of the second vehicle. The vehicular control system determines a potential collision between the first vehicle and the second vehicle based at least in part on (i) a wireless communication received at the second communication device from the first communication device and provided to the ECU of the second vehicle and/or (ii) processing at the ECU of image data captured by the camera disposed at the second vehicle. Responsive to determination of the potential collision between the first vehicle and the second vehicle, the vehicular control system controls (i) braking of the second vehicle and/or (ii) steering of the second vehicle.

A camera monitoring system and a method of controlling the same are provided. The camera monitoring system includes a camera assembly that captures an image of an outer side surface of a vehicle and a mirror assembly disposed to overlap at least a portion of the camera assembly. A driver performs deployment and folding of the camera assembly and the mirror assembly. A controller operates the driver in response to an input of the deployment or folding of the camera assembly and the mirror assembly and determines a failure of the camera assembly. The camera assembly and the mirror assembly are moved based on a single drive shaft, and the controller deploys or folds the camera assembly and the mirror assembly.
