System and method to modify undercarriage camera image feed
One general aspect includes a system to modify an image feed from a second camera of a vehicle, the system includes a memory configured to include one or more executable instructions and a processor configured to execute the executable instructions, where the executable instructions enable the processor to receive a first image feed from a first camera located on the vehicle; monitor one or more image characteristics of the first image feed; receive the second image feed from the second camera located on the vehicle; and based on the monitored one or more image characteristics of the first image feed, modify the second image feed such that one or more image characteristics of the second image feed are substantially similar to the monitored one or more image characteristics of the first image feed.
DISPLAY CONTROL SYSTEM AND DISPLAY CONTROL METHOD
A work vehicle includes work equipment having a work tool and a support member supporting the work tool. A display control system controls a display device provided outside the work vehicle. The display control system includes a captured image acquisition unit, a supplementary image acquisition unit, a display image generation unit, and a display control unit. The captured image acquisition unit acquires a captured image captured by an imaging device mounted on the work vehicle. The supplementary image acquisition unit acquires a supplementary image representing information related to the work vehicle. The display image generation unit generates a display image in which the supplementary image is disposed in an area where a side surface of the support member can be shown in the captured image. The display control unit outputs a display signal in order to display the display image on the display device.
CRANE VEHICLE
A crane vehicle achieves safe movement by reliably detecting an obstacle in a region which is a blind spot from the opposite side of the driver seat across a boom. The crane vehicle includes an obstacle sensor which is a transmission/reception antenna that transmits a detection wave and receives the detection wave reflected from the obstacle. A signal corresponding to the reflected wave received by the obstacle sensor is amplified and input to a controller, which calculates the position and the size of the obstacle on the basis of the signal. The controller generates an obstacle display image and displays the image on a display, the obstacle display image including a vehicle object that represents a crane vehicle and an obstacle object which is an object corresponding to the calculated size of the obstacle and which is disposed at a position corresponding to the calculated position of the obstacle.
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ASSISTING A DRIVER OF A VEHICLE WITH VISUALIZATION OF AN AMBIENT ENVIRONMENT
A method of assisting a driver of a vehicle with visualization of an ambient environment comprises generating a mirror image signal corresponding to a field of view of a traditional driving mirror. A surround image signal corresponding to a field of view of an ambient environment adjacent the vehicle is generated. A vehicle speed signal is generated. The mirror image signal, the surround image signal, and the vehicle speed signal are received, and at least one of a driver mirror signal and a driver surround signal is responsively produced. A video image corresponding to at least one of the driver mirror signal and the driver surround signal is selectively displayed to the driver. A frame rate of at least one of the mirror image signal and the surround image signal is adjusted by the signal processor responsive to the vehicle speed signal. A drive assist system is also provided.
SHOVEL
A shovel includes a lower traveling structure, an upper swing structure mounted on the lower traveling structure via a swing mechanism, an image capturing device attached to the upper swing structure to capture an image of an area surrounding the upper swing structure, and a display device. The display device is configured to display the image captured by the image capturing device such that distortion in a part of an edge of the upper surface of the upper swing structure is reduced compared with distortion in another part in the image.
DISPLAY APPARATUS, DISPLAY METHOD, AND PROGRAM
A display apparatus projects an image of an object located in an area outside a mobile body onto a target projection surface, the target projection surface being set in a cabin of the mobile body and having a first region and a second region. The display apparatus includes: an image data acquisition unit that acquires image data; an image processing unit that generates projection image data by performing image conversion processing including color conversion in which the first wavelength light is selected for a pixel corresponding to the first region and the second wavelength light is selected for a pixel corresponding to the second region based on region distribution information; a light source unit that emits light selected from either the first wavelength light or the second wavelength light; and a projection unit that projects the image formed by the emitted light onto the target projection surface.
3D DISPLAY SYSTEM FOR CAMERA MONITORING SYSTEM
A system in a vehicle for generating and displaying three-dimensional images may comprise a first imager having a first field of view; a second imager having a second field of view at least partially overlapping the first field of view, the second imager disposed a distance from first imager; and an image signal processor in communication with the first and second imagers; wherein the image signal processor is configured to generate an image having a three-dimensional appearance from the data from the first and second imagers. The first and second imagers may be disposed on a vehicle. The first and second imagers may be configured to capture a scene; and the scene may be exterior to the vehicle.
DEVICE AND METHOD WITH VEHICLE BLIND SPOT VISUALIZATION
An electronic device includes: a processor configured to: based on two images captured at two different time points by a camera of a vehicle that is traveling and traveling information of the vehicle, determine a first transformation matrix of a camera coordinate system comprising a rotation matrix and a translation matrix for a movement of the vehicle between the two time points; transform the first transformation matrix into a second transformation matrix of a vehicle coordinate system; update a parameter of the camera to apply the movement of the vehicle to the parameter of the camera, based on either one or both of roll information and pitch information of the vehicle acquired from the rotation matrix; and visualize a blind spot of the camera based on the either one or both of the roll information and the pitch information, and based on the updated parameter and the second transformation matrix.
DEVICE AND METHOD WITH VEHICLE BLIND SPOT VISUALIZATION

WINDOW POSITION MONITORING SYSTEM
Systems and methods for monitoring a position of a window. A window position monitoring system comprises a display screen, a camera configured to capture an image for display on the display screen, and a controller including a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: determine a position of the window; determine at least one of a camera setting of a camera and a display screen setting of the display screen based on the determined position of the window; capture, using the camera, at least one frame of a video of a real-world environment; and display, on the display screen, based on the at least one of the camera setting and the display screen setting, the at least one frame of the video of the real-world environment.
