The disclosure relates to a side mirror for recognition of left and right rear environment of a vehicle and the vehicle having the same.

The side mirror includes: a camera provided on an exterior of a vehicle and configured to obtain an image of a rear environment; and a monitor provided inside the vehicle and configured to display the image obtained by the camera. The image displayed on the monitor has a focal length greater than a distance to a surface of the monitor from a user's location.

A system for generating an advanced surround view for a vehicle includes a plurality of cameras to generate image data. Sensors are configured to determine kinematic data of the vehicle. Kinematic data are also obtained by a visual odometry module and/or a deep-vision mechanism. A processor is configured to process image data captured by the plurality of cameras to generate a 360-degree surround view layer representative of a surrounding area. The processor is further configured to construct an improved bicycle kinematic model for processing kinematic data to generate an under-chassis layer representative of an area under the vehicle. The processor is further configured to generate a 3D vehicle model layer and overlay objects layer. Display screens display a GUI of combined scene of the 360-degree surround view layer, under-chassis layer, 3D vehicle model layer and overlay objects layer as would be viewed from a virtual camera viewpoint.

A display system includes a location acquiring unit that acquires a current location of an own vehicle, an environment image generating unit that generates a virtual environment image based on a current location of the own vehicle and map information, the virtual environmental image being a virtual image showing a surrounding environment of the own vehicle, a partial video image extracting unit that acquires a real environment video image of a surrounding of the own vehicle and extracts a participant video image, the participant video image being a video image portion of a traffic participant from the real environment video image, and a display control unit that generates and displays on a display device a composite image by inlaying each of the extracted participant video image into the virtual environment image at a corresponding position on the virtual environment image.

A vehicular vision system includes a video display screen disposed behind a transflective mirror reflector of an electrochromic mirror reflective element of an interior rearview mirror assembly. Image data captured by a rearward-viewing camera is provided to the mirror assembly as digital signals carried by a coaxial cable. Electronic circuitry of the mirror assembly includes (i) auto dimming circuitry and (ii) video processing circuitry. The video display screen (i) displays at a left display region video images derived from captured image data to display a scene occurring in a left side lane, (ii) displays at a right display region video images derived from captured image data to display a scene occurring in a right side lane and (iii) displays at a middle display region video images derived from captured image data to display a scene occurring rearward of the vehicle in the lane the equipped vehicle is travelling in.

Embodiments of the present invention provide display method for use in a vehicle, the method comprising: obtaining (600) images of a region external to the vehicle; storing (608) at least a portion of the obtained images; generating (614) a composite image from a current image and a stored image by matching (612) portions of the stored image and the current image; and displaying (616) at least part of the composite image; wherein the composite image comprises a first region generated from the current image and a second region generated from the stored image, the second region not being visible within the current image.

A surroundings monitoring system for a work machine includes an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of surroundings of the work machine and a display device configured to display the image of the surroundings of the work machine captured by the image capturing unit and a mark representing the position of a monitoring target. The display device is configured to display the mark in two or more different display forms.
