An information display device includes a surrounding environment detector, a vehicle information acquirer, a predictor, an avoidance path provider, and an information display. The surrounding environment detector detects position relevant information related to a position of at least a surrounding object in a surrounding environment of a vehicle. The vehicle information acquirer detects vehicle information including a speed and a steering direction of the vehicle. The predictor predicts a contact of the vehicle with the surrounding object, based on the position relevant information and the vehicle information. When the predictor has predicted that there is a possibility of the contact of the vehicle with the surrounding object, the avoidance path provider assumes an avoidance path for avoiding the contact, based on the position relevant information and the vehicle information. The information display displays the avoidance path.

A method and vehicle system for reducing driver distractions caused by a head-up display (HUD). The HUD projects one or more graphic elements onto a windshield in view of a driver of the vehicle. The vehicle system determines a content status of the one or more projected graphic elements. The vehicle system detects one or more objects within an environment of the vehicle. The vehicle system determines whether the content status of the one or more projected graphic elements satisfies a driver distraction criterion. The vehicle then notifies the driver of the one or more detected objects when the content status of the one or more projected graphic element satisfies the driver distraction criterion.

The present subject matter provides various technical solutions to technical problems facing advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicle (AV) systems. In particular, disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods that may use cameras and other sensors to detect objects and events and identify them as predefined signal classifiers, such as detecting and identifying a red stoplight. These signal classifiers are used within ADAS and AV systems to control the vehicle or alert a vehicle operator based on the type of signal. These ADAS and AV systems may provide full vehicle operation without requiring human input. The embodiments disclosed herein provide systems and methods that can be used as part of or in combination with ADAS and AV systems.

Provided is a vehicle display device configured to be mounted on a vehicle. The vehicle display device includes a curve detection unit, a road state categorization unit, and a display unit. The curve detection unit detects a curve that is included in a target traveling line and has a curvature. The road state categorization unit categorizes a state of the road on which the target traveling line including the curve is set, in one class out of a plurality of classes, according to possibility of presence of the curve having the curvature of a predetermined value or more. The display unit displays a representation that indicates the curvature of the curve. The curvature corresponds to the class in which the state of the road has been categorized.

Disclosed are provided a navigation device or a method for overlaying a travel route, in which the position of other vehicles located on the travel route is considered, on an image obtained from a front-view camera, wherein a navigation device includes: a display device configured to display an image acquired from a front-view camera of a vehicle, to overlay a travel route on the displayed image, and to display the overlaid resultant image; and a processor configured to determine a travel route starting from a position of the vehicle acting as an ego vehicle, when a peripheral vehicle is located at the determined travel route, to determine a travel route along which the ego vehicle dodges or follows the peripheral vehicle on the basis of the position of the peripheral vehicle, and to display the determined travel route on the display unit.

An imaging system for a vehicle includes an imaging sensor and a video display device. The imaging system generates an overlay that is electronically superimposed on the displayed images to assist a driver of the vehicle when executing a backup maneuver. The overlay has first, second and third overlay zones, with the overlay zones indicative of respective distance ranges from the rear of the vehicle to respective distances. As indicated to the driver viewing the video display screen when executing a backup maneuver, the first distance is closer to the rear of the vehicle than the second distance and the second distance is closer to the rear of the vehicle than the third distance. The first overlay zone may be a first color and the second overlay zone may be a second color and the third overlay zone may be a third color.

An image generation apparatus includes an image processor and a detector. The image processor generates a composite image viewed from at least one virtual viewpoint, and outputs the generated composite image to a display. The detector detects an indication of a driver intention to drive the host vehicle to a right or to a left relative to a travelling direction of the host vehicle. The image processor generates the composite image viewed from a virtual viewpoint located in front of the host vehicle in the travelling direction, the composite image showing a lateral surface of the host vehicle on a side corresponding to the detected indication of the driver intention. Thus, it is possible to make it easier to check a situation at a time of a right turn, a left turn, or a travelling direction change.

A vehicular vision system includes a camera module configured for mounting at an in-cabin portion of a windshield of a vehicle and including a circuit board and a camera that views forward of the vehicle and through the windshield. The camera includes an imaging sensor array. A data processor is operable to process image data captured by the imaging sensor array for at least one system of the vehicle. The imaging sensor array is electrically connected to circuitry of the circuit board via a flexible electrical connection. The imaging sensor array may be controlled via the flexible electrical connection. Image data captured by the imaging sensor array is carried via the flexible electrical connection. With the camera module mounted at the in-cabin portion of the windshield, the circuit board is tilted at an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of a lens barrel of the camera.

Disclosed are a system and a method of recognizing a travelled lane of a vehicle, which recognize a currently travelled lane by using an image obtained through a camera of a vehicle or information received from a road system. Further, the system and the method detect whether the vehicle changes a lane by using sensing data of the vehicle, current location information, road map data, and the like, and when it is confirmed that the vehicle changes a lane or enters a new lane, the system and the method make the vehicle immediately recognize a currently travelled lane by combining information about the change of a lane or the new lane with information about the first recognized travelled lane. Accordingly, the present invention may make a vehicle recognize a travelled lane even when it is difficult to recognize a lane by a camera, and rapidly obtain information about the change of a lane and an entry lane, thereby determining a final lane. Further, the present invention provides a corresponding vehicle and surrounding vehicles with information about the final lane, so that the information may be utilized in an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) or a V2V application service.

A surrounding monitoring device for a work machine including a work device on an upper swing body includes: a plurality of cameras configured to acquire a surrounding condition of the work machine; an image processor configured to generate a bird's-eye image based on images imaged by the plurality of cameras; a display configured to display at least one of: a single camera image imaged by one of the plurality of cameras; and the bird's-eye image; and a display controller configured to display, on the at least one of the single camera image and the bird's-eye image, direction guide information arranged from a reference position of the upper swing body to surroundings of the upper swing body.
