VEHICLE CAMERA AND LIGHT PROJECTION SYSTEMS
A refuse vehicle including a chassis, a tractive element coupled to the chassis and configured to engage a support surface to support the refuse vehicle, a refuse compartment coupled to the chassis, a lift assembly coupled to the chassis and configured to lift a refuse container to transfer refuse from the refuse container into the refuse compartment, and a light projector coupled to the chassis and positioned to emit a light onto the support surface to define a target area. The target area represents a range of positions within which the lift assembly is capable of engaging the refuse container.
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.

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.
Trailer back-up system
A boat trailer and a method of backing up a boat on a trailer. The boat trailer includes a trailer back-up system having a first image capture device, a second image capture device, and a transmitter. The first image capture device is mounted on a left guide pole of the trailer in a rear-facing direction, and the second image capture device is mounted on a right guide pole of the trailer in a rear-facing direction. The transmitter is in communication with each of the first image capture device and the second image capture device and configured to transmit live video images from the first image capture device and from the second image capture device to a display device. The method includes moving the trailer with a boat loaded on the trailer in a rearward direction and capturing, in real-time, a first view and a second view.

Camera device for generating an image of surroundings
A camera device having an enlarged or wide-angle field of view generates images of surroundings simultaneously using only one image capturing unit, such as an image sensor, for example. The camera device uses a diverting unit disposed upstream of the image capturing unit. The diverting unit includes so-called holographic optical elements which, based on their deflection structures, divert or deflect light so that the camera device can capture the wide-angle field of view, without generating imaging aberrations on the resulting image(s). The deflection structures are wavelength-selective and/or angle-selective. The total field of view is subdivided into individual angle-of-incidence regions by virtue of the properties of the deflection structures.

Vehicle control system, vehicle control method, controller, and non-transitory storage medium
A vehicle control system includes: a sensor; a first controller configured to output a first control signal for controlling the sensor via the first signal line; and a second controller configured to output a second control signal for controlling the sensor via the first signal line and the second signal line, wherein the sensor is configured to operate according to the first control signal output from the first controller via the first signal line when a vehicle state that indicates a state of a vehicle is a first state, and operate according to the second control signal output from the second controller via the first signal line and the second signal line when the vehicle state is a second state.
MONITORING SYSTEM MONITORING PERIPHERY OF MOBILE OBJECT, METHOD OF CONTROLLING MONITORING SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
A monitoring system that monitors periphery of a shovel moving on ground and reports a tumble risk of the periphery of the shovel to an operator includes: a risk determination unit configured to determine a tumble risk in a case of movement of the shovel to the periphery based on distance information measured by a first sensor that is mounted on the shovel and measures a distance to a ground object including the ground in the periphery of the shovel and slope information measured by a second sensor measuring a slope of the shovel; and a display video generation unit configured to generate and output an image indicating the tumble risk determined by the risk determination unit.
