System and method for using an interior display device in a vehicle. The interior display device includes a projection device and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a plurality of vehicle parameters and determine an expected location within an interior of the vehicle based on the plurality of vehicle parameters. The expected location corresponds to an interior area of the vehicle where a driver would be expected to look. The controller is further configured to select an image (515, 520) based on the plurality of vehicles parameters and operate the projection device to project the image at the expected location within the interior of the vehicle.

A vision system for a vehicle includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and having a field of view exterior of the vehicle. The camera includes a lens and a pixelated imaging array having a plurality of photosensing elements. The camera includes a volume hologram disposed between the lens and the imaging array. The volume hologram may function as a spatial low pass filter with a steep filtering slope. An image processor is operable to process image data captured by the camera.

An image monitoring apparatus, includes: an abnormality detecting part configured to detect an abnormal output from an imaging device based on frame data input to a display driving device that displays the frame data output from the imaging device on a display device; and a signal output part configured to output an abnormality detection signal when the abnormal output is detected.

An image control unit of an image display device provides, on display screens of a display unit, a captured-image-only region in which only a captured image is displayed when the display unit displays the captured image, and multiple-image regions in which the captured image or a different image that is different from the captured image is selectively displayed when the display unit displays the captured image. In an embodiment, the image control unit fixes a position of the captured-image-only region on the display screens.

Example vehicle alignment systems for use at loading docks are disclosed herein. An example vehicle alignment system includes a sensor system to detect a surface of a vehicle, where the sensor system obtains a feedback signal representative of a spatial orientation of the detected surface relative to a reference as the vehicle approaches a doorway of the loading dock. A controller detects a threshold deviation in the spatial orientation of the detected surface of the vehicle relative to the reference based on the feedback signal. A display varies an output signal in response to the detected deviation in the spatial orientation of the detected surface relative to the reference.

An on-vehicle image processing device is provided. The on-vehicle image processing unit includes a signal conversion circuit arranged to convert an image signal acquired from an imaging unit into image data of a predetermined standard responding to an external command, and a control circuit arranged to acquire the image data, display an image of the imaging unit on a display unit through starting multiple modules in order, and perform data processing to the image. Upon a user performing a reversing operation, the control circuit starts a first module to display the image data acquired from the signal conversion circuit on the display unit as it is, and subsequently starts a second module to perform predetermined data processing to the image data.

Vehicle visual systems are disclosed to produce seamless and uniform surround-view images of the vehicle using a number of Ultra Wide-Angle (UWA) lens cameras and optionally HUD systems. A distributive system architecture wherein individual cameras are capable of performing various image transformations allows a flexible and resource efficient image processing scheme.

A method of autonomously maneuvering a vehicle using environment sensors comprises calculating first coordinate data based on information received from environment sensors mounted on a first portion of the vehicle; determining, based on the first coordinate data, a first target at a first location; determining a path to maneuver the vehicle to the first location; determining and transmitting commands to autonomously control the vehicle to maneuver to the first location; calculating second coordinate data based on information received from environment sensors mounted on a second portion of the vehicle; determining based on the second coordinate data, a second target at a second location, determining a path to maneuver the vehicle from the first location to the second location; and determining and transmitting commands to autonomously control the vehicle to maneuver from the first location to the second location. Suitably configured vehicles (e.g., tractor units) are also described.

A vehicle information display apparatus includes: at least one processor configured to receive a vehicle state of a vehicle, and detect a forward object ahead of the vehicle; a flip-dot display installed in the vehicle and configured to implement a pixel by rotating a flip disk; and an illumination module installed around the flip-dot display, and configured to illuminate a surface of the flip-dot display.

A display device to be installed in a moving body includes: a surrounding image acquisition unit configured to acquire a surrounding image of the moving body; an external environment recognizing unit configured to recognize an object around the moving body; a distance acquisition unit configured to acquire a distance between the object and the moving body; a synthetic image generation unit that generates a guide display for notifying presence of the object and generates a synthetic image by combining the guide display with the surrounding image at a position corresponding to the object recognized by the external environment recognizing unit; and an image display unit that displays the synthetic image, wherein the synthetic image generation unit combines the guide display with the surrounding image such that visibility of the guide display increases as the distance between the object and the moving body decreases.
