A vehicle driver assist system provides for the location of a target feature in an initial image and updates the location of that target feature based on information indicative of vehicle dynamic operation. The system predicts a relative position of the target feature within subsequent images such that only a portion of subsequent images need by analyzed and searched.

The present disclosure refers to a rear view system for a vehicle, comprising a rear view device comprising at least one camera module and/or at least one reflective element, wherein the rear view device is configured to be mounted to the vehicle, in particular to a door or a body of the vehicle, in order to capture a field-of-view (FOV) in a scenery at least around a rear part of the vehicle and to be moved between at least two states relative to the door and/or the body of the vehicle, in particular between a folded and unfolded state, characterized by a time-of-flight (ToF) sensor for emitting at least one light signal, and a processing unit for determining at least one of the states of the rear view device when the rear view device is mounted to the vehicle, wherein the ToF sensor is configured to be mounted to the rear view device or to the vehicle separate from the rear view device, and wherein the processing unit is configured to operate the ToF sensor to emit the at least one light signal towards the FoV of the rear view device in case the ToF sensor is mounted to the rear view device or towards the rear view device in case the ToF sensor is mounted separate from the rear view device and to determine the at least one state of the rear view device based on the at least one light signal. It also refers to a vehicle with such a rear view system.

A method is provided for visually representing areas of interest associated with and/or proximate a work vehicle which includes a first portion (e.g., frame) and a second portion (e.g., work implement) moveable relative thereto, wherein for example a first area of interest comprising terrain proximate a ground-engaging work tool is obscured from direct operator view. An imaging device is mounted on the work vehicle and has a field of view including the first area of interest at least while the tool is proximate a ground-engaging position. Selections may accordingly be made from among various areas of interest, wherein image display parameters associated with perimeter contours of the selected area of interest are substantially maintained throughout movement of the second portion. For example, display parameters corresponding to the first area of interest may be maintained while the tool and the imaging device move relative thereto.

A multi-directional viewing camera system for a motor vehicle including a vehicle body defining an interior compartment and a body panel having an exterior surface and an interior surface facing the interior compartment. The camera system includes a mirror module for mounting to the body panel exterior surface. The mirror module is configured to capture and transmit incident light from at least one field of view (FOV) and has a polarizing beam splitter configured to reflect an s-polarized component and transmit a p-polarized component of the incident light in a visible spectral range. The camera system also includes a camera module having a video camera for mounting to the body panel interior surface. The camera module is configured to receive from the mirror module the s-polarized or the p-polarized component of the incident light and selectively display at least one FOV within the interior compartment.
