ASPHALT COMPACTOR BIRDS EYE CAMERA INTEGRATION
A compactor machine can include a machine frame; at least one cylindrical roller drum rotatably coupled to the machine frame and rotatable about a drum axis oriented generally transverse to a direction of travel of the compactor machine; a plurality of cameras mounted to the machine frame so as to provide a 360° bird's eye view of an area around the machine; a display showing the 360° bird's eye view; and a controller; wherein, the controller is configured to determine certain conditions regarding a compacting operation of the compactor machine and the controller overlays a highlight symbol on the 360° bird's eye view on the display notifying a machine operator of the certain conditions.
BIRDS EYE VIEW CAMERA FOR AN ASPHALT PAVER
A display system for a paving machine can include a plurality of cameras configured to provide a 360° bird's-eye view of a paving machine and an area surrounding the paving machine; a display operatively coupled to the plurality of cameras showing the 360° bird's-eye view; and a controller coupled to the display, the controller further coupled to a sensor on the paving machine positioned to measure a height of a paving material at one or more locations on the paving machine, wherein when the material height falls below a pre-determined level, the controller sends a warning to the display such that the display shows the 360° bird's-eye view with the material height warning incorporated into the display.
DUAL-SIDED DISPLAY FOR A VEHICLE
A vehicle can include a window including an interior side and an exterior side. The vehicle can include a camera located on an exterior of the vehicle. The camera can be operatively positioned to capture visual data of a blind spot of an external environment of the vehicle. The vehicle can include a dual-sided transparent display forming at least a portion of the window. The vehicle can include a processor operatively connected to the camera and the dual-sided transparent display. The processor can be configured to selectively cause the dual-sided transparent display to display exterior visual information on the exterior side. The processor can be configured to selectively cause the dual-sided transparent to display interior visual information on the interior side. The interior visual information can include the visual data of the blind spot of the vehicle.
PERIPHERY MONITORING DEVICE FOR WORKING MACHINE
A periphery monitoring device calculates an expected passage range indicating a range of a locus of a machine body when a lower travelling body travels in an imaging direction of a camera, based on a slewing angle of an upper slewing body and an attitude of an attachment, and superimposes a range image indicating the calculated expected passage range on an image captured by the camera to display the superimposed image on the display.

Work vehicle display systems and methods for generating visually-manipulated context views
A work vehicle display system utilized in piloting a work vehicle includes a display device having a display screen, a context camera mounted to the work vehicle and positioned to capture a context camera feed of the work vehicle's exterior environment, and a controller architecture. The controller architecture is configured to: (i) receive the context camera feed from the context camera; (ii) generate a visually-manipulated context view utilizing the context camera feed; and (iii) output the visually-manipulated context view to the display device for presentation on the display screen. In the process of generating the visually-manipulated context view, the controller architecture applies a dynamic distortion-perspective (D/P) modification effect to the context camera feed, while gradually adjusting a parameter of the dynamic D/P modification effect in response to changes in operator viewing preferences or in response to changes in a current operating condition of the work vehicle.
VEHICLE DISPLAY SYSTEM WITH WEARABLE DISPLAY
An example display system for a commercial vehicle includes a camera configured to record images of a blind spot of the commercial vehicle and a wearable augmented reality display device that includes an electronic display and is configured to be worn on the head of a driver of the commercial vehicle. An electronic control unit is configured to display graphical elements on the electronic display that depict at least one of portions of the recorded images and information derived from the recorded images. A method of displaying graphical elements is also disclosed.

VEHICULAR DISPLAY SYSTEM WITH A-PILLAR DISPLAY
A vehicular vision system includes an A-pillar display device disposed at an interior A-pillar region of a vehicle, a blind spot camera, and a driver monitoring camera. The blind spot camera at least partially views an A-pillar blind spot region forward and sideward of the vehicle. An ECU receives image data captured by the blind spot camera. The A-pillar display device displays A-pillar blind spot video images derived from video image signals provided from the ECU. The ECU receives and processes image data captured by the driver monitoring camera to determine a gaze direction of the driver. Responsive to the determined gaze direction being toward the A-pillar blind spot region, the ECU provides video image signals derived from image data captured by the blind spot camera to the A-pillar display device. The A-pillar display device displays A-pillar blind spot video images derived from the received video image signals.
