Rear view system for a vehicle
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.

VEHICULAR TRAILERING ASSIST SYSTEM WITH AUXILIARY SIDE TRAILER CAMERAS
A vehicular vision system includes a plurality of vehicle cameras disposed at a vehicle, a trailer camera disposed at a trailer, and a video display screen disposed at the vehicle and viewable by a driver of the vehicle. When the trailer is hitched to the vehicle, the trailer camera captures image data and provides captured image data to an electronic control unit (ECU). The plurality of vehicle cameras capture image data and provide captured image data to the ECU. An auxiliary camera is detachably attached at an exterior side portion of the trailer. With the auxiliary camera detachably attached at the exterior side portion of the trailer and during a reversing maneuver of the vehicle with the trailer hitched to the vehicle, and responsive to a user input, video images derived from the image data captured by the auxiliary camera are displayed for viewing by the driver of the vehicle.

Surround view monitoring system and method for vehicle, and parking assist control system of vehicle
Disclosed is a surround view monitoring system for a vehicle, including a plurality of cameras included in the vehicle and configured to capture images of a region around the vehicle, an image synthesizer configured to form a synthesized image for monitoring the region around the vehicle by synthesizing the images captured by the plurality of cameras, a driving recognizer configured to recognize driving-state information of the vehicle, and a display controller configured to control a display device to selectively display a portion or an entirety of the synthesized image formed by the image synthesizer based on the driving-state information of the vehicle, recognized by the driving recognizer.
VEHICLE VISUALIZATION SYSTEM COMPRISING AN ACQUISITION DEVICE MOVABLE BETWEEN A DEPLOYED POSITION AND A RETRACTED POSITION
A visualization system that includes a support member, defining an outer surface and an inner surface, and a visualization device having at least one display device extending on the inner surface of the support member and at least one image acquisition device. The acquisition device includes an image sensor and a base and is movable in relation to the support member between a deployed position, in which the base extends mainly on the outer surface side of the support member, and a retracted position, wherein the base extends mainly on the inner surface side of the support member.
INTERACTIVE METHOD AND SYSTEM OF MOVABLE PLATFORM, MOVABLE PLATFORM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
An interactive method for a movable platform, an interactive system, a movable platform and a storage medium including the interactive method. The interactive method may include projecting three-dimensional point cloud data collected by a sensor into image data collected by a camera for fusion processing to obtain a fused image; rendering the fused image to determine a three-dimensional visualization image of a surrounding environment where the movable platform is located; and outputting the three-dimensional visualization image of the surrounding environment where the movable platform is located on a display interface.
VEHICLE PERIPHERY MONITORING SYSTEM
Upon detection of boarding of a person in a vehicle compartment of a vehicle by a vehicle information detector, a controller controls an aircraft such that the aircraft takes off from the vehicle, a photographing unit photographs a periphery of the vehicle, and a video captured by the photographing unit is transmitted to a communication unit.
Virtual Mirror with Automatic Zoom Based on Vehicle Sensors
In one approach, a method includes: displaying, to a user of a first vehicle, image data obtained using a first field of view of a camera of the first vehicle, where the camera collects the image data for objects located outside of the first vehicle; detecting, by at least one processing device of the first vehicle, a second vehicle; determining, by the one processing device, whether the second vehicle is within a predetermined region relative to the first vehicle; and in response to determining that the second vehicle is within the predetermined region, displaying image data obtained using a second field of view of the camera.
Vehicle periphery display device
A vehicle periphery display device includes: an acquisition portion acquiring a captured image obtained by imaging a periphery of a vehicle with an imaging portion; and a display processing portion causing a display image that is a stereoscopic image of the vehicle and the periphery of the vehicle to be displayed on a display portion on the basis of the captured image. The display processing portion causes at least one of a contour guide line representing a contour of the vehicle, and a predicted course guide line that is a trajectory drawn by the contour guide line according to movement of the vehicle to be included in the display image, and changes a position of at least one of the contour guide and predicted course guide lines such that the contour guide and predicted course guide lines are present above a road surface when the vehicle is turned.
