A head-up display device as a vehicle display device projects display light onto a front windshield of a vehicle, displays a virtual image by reflected display light, on the front windshield, so as to be superimposed on a real scene transparent through the front windshield, captures an image of a driver of the vehicle by projecting infrared light onto the driver, and detects the positions of the eyes of the driver based on the captured image. A control unit detects the position of a feature point of the face of the driver in the captured image and stores a positional relationship with the detected positions of the eyes, and, when it is difficult to detect the positions of the eyes in die captured image, estimates a viewpoint position of the driver based on the position of the feature point detected at this time and the positional relationship stored beforehand.

A vehicle includes an image capturing device configured to capture an image in a vehicle traveling direction, a display device, and a controller configured to carry out an analysis of the image captured by the image capturing device and display an indicator based on the analysis on the display device. The controller is configured to display a first object that approaches a host vehicle on the display device in a mode different from a mode for a second object that does not approach the host vehicle within the image captured by the image capturing device.

A head-up display includes a picture generation unit configured to emit first light for generating a first picture at a position away from a vehicle by a predetermined distance and second light for generating a second picture at a position away from the vehicle by a distance different from the predetermined distance; and a reflection unit configured to reflect the first light and the second light so that the first light and the second light are radiated to a windshield. A first optical element that reduces transmittance of light including at least visible light to be lower than transmittance of the first light is provided between the picture generation unit and the windshield at a position through which the second light passes.

A diaphragm for performing image position correction of a virtual image projectable onto a windshield of a vehicle by a head-up display. A first positioning mark, a second positioning mark, and a calibration mark are attached to a disk of the diaphragm. The disk is transparent at least in the region of the first positioning mark, the second positioning mark, and the calibration mark, so that a first image including the first positioning mark and a first positioning pattern recorded directly through the disk and output on the vehicle side, a second image including the second positioning mark and a second positioning pattern output on the vehicle side, mirrored by a mirror of the diaphragm and recorded through the disk.

A driver-assisting system for an industrial vehicle comprising: a first camera mounted on a vehicle cab for viewing an area in front of the vehicle; an image processing unit operatively connected to said first camera for receiving image data from said first camera; a display unit operatively connected to said image processing unit for displaying image to a user based on said image data; a control unit operatively connected to said first camera for modifying operating parameters of said first camera; wherein the first camera is adapted to provide a wide-angle field of vision, and in that the field of vision of said first camera relative to the vehicle can be adjusted by the control unit.

A method for vehicle eye tracking is described. The method includes capturing sensor data based on eye tracking of a vehicle operator. The method also includes identifying sensor data associated with an external environment of a vehicle within the captured sensor data. The method further includes filtering out a sensor data associated with the external environment from the captured sensor data to provide an internal vehicle sensor data. The method also includes controlling a vehicle interface based on the internal vehicle sensor data.

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 by an image processor of image data captured by the camera. Responsive at least in part to processing of captured image data, a traffic lane of the road along which the vehicle is traveling is determined. Upon approach of the vehicle to a curve in the road, speed of the vehicle is reduced to a reduced speed for traveling around the curve in the road at least in part responsive to at least one selected from the group consisting of (a) processing of image data captured by the forward viewing camera and (b) data relevant to a current geographical location of the equipped vehicle.

A processor for a vehicle camera system, the processor arranged to: receive image data captured by a camera, the image data providing a field of view surrounding a host vehicle; determine the presence of an obstruction in the field of view; receive inputs from one or more other sensors; determine the presence or absence of obstructions in a field of view of the one or more other sensors, wherein each determined presence or absence carries an associated confidence score and wherein each confidence score contributes to a confidence total; and control a display to display the image data based on the detection of the obstruction in the field of view provided by the image data and based on a comparison of the confidence total to a confidence threshold.

Provided are a control system and method using an in-vehicle gesture input, and more particularly, a system for receiving an occupant's gesture and controlling the execution of vehicle functions. The control system using an in-vehicle gesture input includes an input unit configured to receive a user's gesture, a memory configured to store a control program using an in-vehicle gesture input therein, and a processor configured to execute the control program. The processor transmits a command for executing a function corresponding to a gesture according to a usage pattern.

An interactive vehicle safety system having capabilities to improve peripheral vision, provide warning, and improve reaction time for operators of vehicles. For example, the interactive vehicle safety system may have capabilities for portraying objects, which are being blocked by any of the structural pillars and/or mirrors of a vehicle (such as a truck, van, train, etc.). The interactive vehicle safety system disclosed may comprise one or more image capturing devices (such as camera, sensor, laser), distance and object sensors (such as ultrasonic sensor, LIDAR radar sensor, photoelectric sensor, and infrared sensor), a real-time image processing of an object, and one or more display systems (such as LCD or LED displays). The interactive vehicle safety system may give a seamless 360-degree front panoramic view to a driver.
