A vehicular trailer hitching assist system includes a camera disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle and viewing at least rearward of the vehicle. An electronic control unit (ECU) includes an image processor operable to process image data captured by the camera. The ECU, via image processing of image data captured by the camera, detects a trailer rearward of the vehicle and determines a first path of travel for the vehicle to follow to maneuver the vehicle toward the trailer and to align the tow ball of the vehicle with a trailer hitch of the trailer. The ECU generates an output to maneuver the vehicle along the determined first path of travel. Responsive to detection of an object entering the first path of travel, the ECU determines a second path of travel for the vehicle to follow that avoids the detected object entering the determined path of travel.

A driving support device includes: a front camera configured to acquire image data; and a controller configured to execute driving support control for supporting driving by a driver of a vehicle when the controller determines that a specific display object exists in front of the vehicle based on the image data. The driving support control is control executed depending on the specific display object. The controller is configured to determine whether a conforming operation is being executed by the driver. The controller is also configured to execute, as the driving support control, control having a higher support level indicating a degree of influence on the driver when the controller determines that the conforming operation is not being executed, as compared with a case where the controller determines that the conforming operation is executed.

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 exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror reflective element sub-assembly having a mirror reflective element, a mirror reflector, a mirror back plate, and indicator element. The indicator element includes a housing and a light source. The indicator element is associated with a blind spot detection system of the vehicle and includes a diffuser that diffuses light emitted by the light source. An icon is established through a metallic reflector coating disposed at the glass substrate. The icon includes a light-transmitting aperture. When the vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly is attached at the vehicle, the icon is at an upper quadrant of the mirror reflective element. When the vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly is attached at the vehicle and when the light source is activated, the icon is illuminated and is viewable by the driver of the vehicle.

A vehicular control system includes a forward viewing camera disposed at an in-cabin side of a windshield of a vehicle and viewing forward of the vehicle. Road curvature of a road along which the vehicle is traveling is determined responsive at least in part to processing of image data captured by the camera. Responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, speed of the vehicle is controlled by an adaptive cruise control system of the vehicle. Upon approach of the vehicle to a curve in the road along which the vehicle is traveling, speed of the vehicle is reduced by the adaptive cruise control system to a reduced speed for traveling around the curve in the road. Speed of the vehicle is increased by the adaptive cruise control system when the vehicle is traveling along a straighter section of road after the curve in the road.

The present invention discloses an around view synthesis system, including: a plurality of cameras each mounted in a vehicle to capture respective different areas around the vehicle; a boundary setting unit setting a synthesis boundary of images captured in an overlapping region where images captured by the plurality of cameras are overlapped; and an image synthesizer receiving the images captured by the plurality of cameras and synthesizing the received images according to the synthesis boundary set by the boundary setting unit.

A periphery monitoring device includes: an acquisition section acquiring a steering angle of a vehicle; an image acquisition section acquiring a captured image from an image capturing section that captures an image of a periphery of the vehicle; a detection section acquiring detection information of an object around the vehicle; and a control section causing a display section to display a synthesized image including a vehicle image showing the vehicle and a periphery image showing the periphery of the vehicle based on the captured image. When the object is detected on a course of the vehicle traveling at the steering angle by a predetermined distance, the control section causes a virtual vehicle image to be displayed in the synthesized image to be superimposed on a course to the object with a position of the vehicle as a reference.

A method for determining features of a trailer being towed by a vehicle includes initiating a calibration drive of the vehicle and capturing frames of image data via a vehicle camera, and, via processing by an image processor of frames of captured image data, determining features of the trailer being towed by the vehicle during the calibration drive. The features of the trailer are determined by determining features that have similar changes between a current frame of captured image data and a previous frame of captured image data captured during the calibration drive. The features are tracked over multiple frames of captured image data for different angular positions of the trailer relative to the vehicle to determine trailer length from the hitch ball of the vehicle to an axle of the trailer. The trailer angle is determined based on the determined trailer length.

A collision avoidance system for a work machine includes at least one sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a presence of at least one obstacle in a surrounding area of the work machine, at least one imaging device, a display device, and a controller. The controller receives the signal indicative of the presence of the obstacle and determines a position of the obstacle relative to the work machine based on the signal received from the sensor. The controller generates a first control signal to prevent a movement of the work machine, halt the movement of the work machine, or reduce a velocity of the work machine based on the determination of the position of the obstacle. The controller generates a second control signal for displaying an updated display view that provides a visual indication of the presence of the obstacle in the surrounding area of the work machine.

A driving assistance device includes: a line-of-sight direction detection unit that detects a direction of a line of sight of a driver of a moving body; an obstacle detection unit that detects a position of an obstacle in environs of the moving body; an assessment criteria determination unit that determines assessment criteria of a look at the obstacle by the driver based on at least one of time, location, weather, a state of the moving body, and a state of the driver; and a warning processing unit that obtains an assessment result by applying, to the assessment criteria, a score computed based on the direction of the line of sight of the driver and the position of the obstacle, the warning processing unit determining at least one of whether or not a warning needs to be issued to the driver and a level of the warning, based on the assessment result.
