Methods of and systems for operating an embedded system of a vehicle during a coupling operation of the vehicle with a trailer having a coupler. The method comprises accessing a video stream generated by a video camera; operating an object detection module on the video stream so as to detect the trailer and/or the coupler and establish one or more regions of interest. The method also comprises generating a vehicle referential point estimated position of a vehicle referential point and generating a coupler position with respect to the vehicle referential point estimated position based on the one or more regions of interests and the vehicle referential point estimated position.

Camera control systems and methods for providing a dynamic view of the environment outside of a vehicle are presented. One or more cameras are configured to capture at least one view of the environment outside of the vehicle. Control circuitry detects at least one of the speed of the vehicle and the pitch angle of the vehicle (e.g., by using a speedometer and inclinometer). The control circuitry selects a view angle based on the at least one of the speed of the vehicle and the pitch angle of the vehicle. The control circuitry then displays, based on an output of the at least one camera, a view of the environment outside of the vehicle from the selected view angle on a display of the vehicle.

A head-up display (HUD) including a direction-information generator, a shift device, and a display system. The direction-information generator generates direction information to be superimposed on a road surface ahead of a vehicle on which the HUD is mounted. The direction information represents a direction of travel to be followed by the vehicle. The shift device shifts at least some of the direction-change information into the display area when the direction information includes direction-change information to represent a change in the direction of travel and the direction-change information falls outside a display area. The display system displays the direction information within the display area as a virtual image.

The present disclosure provides a display system that detects a first posture variation of a moving body having a first axis as a rotation axis, a display processing device that controls a display position of an image based on a reference position and a correction amount, and a correction processing device that sets the correction amount based on magnitude of the first posture variation. The detection device detects a second posture variation of the moving body having a second axis orthogonal to the first axis as a rotation axis. The correction processing device corrects interference of the second posture variation with respect to magnitude of the first posture variation based on magnitude of the second posture variation in setting of the correction amount.

The present disclosure provides a display system that displays an image in front of a windshield of a moving body. The display system includes a projection device, an information acquisition device that acquires speed information of the moving body, a detection device that detects posture variation of the moving body, a display processing device that controls a display position of the image based on a reference position and a correction amount, and a correction processing device that sets the correction amount based on posture variation of the moving body. The correction processing device adjusts the correction amount to a value equal to or less than a correction amount immediately before a speed of the moving body becomes equal to or less than the first threshold in a case of determining that the speed of the moving body is equal to or less than the first threshold.

A method of providing surrounding information of a vehicle includes: detecting at least one sensor-based obstacle using sensor detection information acquired through a surroundings sensor, detecting at least one image-based obstacle using image information acquired through a plurality of cameras, detecting at least one matched obstacle from the at least one sensor-based obstacle or the at least one image-based obstacle, and correcting the position of the at least one matched obstacle using at least one of a sensor-based detection result or an image-based detection result with respect to the at least one matched obstacle.

A display device includes: a light projection device configured to project light; an optical mechanism configured to be able to adjust an optical distance to a virtual image; a concave mirror configured to reflect light toward a reflector; a first actuator configured to adjust the optical distance; a second actuator configured to adjust a reflection angle of the concave mirror; and a control device configured to determine a target optical distance and a target reflection angle based on a vehicle state or a situation around a vehicle, control the first actuator such that the optical distance approaches the target optical distance, and control the second actuator such that the reflection angle approaches the target reflection angle. The control device performs predetermined control such that the virtual image becoming a double image when the target optical distance is equal to or less than a predetermined distance is curbed.

In one embodiment, in accordance with the present invention, a method, computer program product, and system for an in-vehicle content display using augmented reality. The method includes detecting a traffic signal. The method further includes, in response to detecting the traffic signal, calculating a safety degree of a vehicle. The method further includes calculating based on a position of the traffic signal, a display area for projecting content, in accordance with the safety degree onto a front glass of the vehicle. The method further includes determining whether to project content in the display area in accordance with the safety degree.

A display system includes: a display that emits light corresponding to image information; a half mirror that receives the light emitted, reflects, as reflected light, a first component of the light received, and transmits a second component different from the first component; and a first reflecting mirror having a concave surface that receives and reflects the reflected light toward the half mirror. The half mirror includes a first retardation film, a first support substrate, and a reflective polarizing film stacked in this order from a side on which the light emitted is received. The first retardation film changes a phase of the light received. The first support substrate is light-transmissive. The reflective polarizing film reflects a first polarized component and transmits a second polarized component different from the first polarized component.

A vehicle connection guidance system may include a sensor and a controller. The sensor is configured to be supported by a vehicle having a first width and a connection interface, the connection interface having a second width different than the first width and along which multiple connection points lie, wherein the sensor is to output steering angle signals. The Controller is configured to output presentation signals based upon the steering angle signals The presentation signals are to generate a visual presentation of a projected path of the width of the connection interface to an operator of the vehicle.
