A vehicular display system includes a camera that is disposed in a vehicle and that views a hand of a driver of the vehicle. A heads up display system establishes a heads up display viewable by the driver and derived at least in part from image data captured by the camera. The heads up display includes (i) information representative of user actuatable inputs for controlling at least one accessory of the vehicle and (ii) images representative of at least a part of the driver's hand. The images representative of at least a part of the driver's hand are derived at least in part from image data captured by the camera. The images representative of at least a part of the driver's hand are partially transparent so the information representative of the user actuatable inputs are viewable through the images representative of at least a part of the driver's hand.

A visual scene around a vehicle is displayed to an occupant of the vehicle on a display panel as a virtual three-dimensional image from an adjustable point of view outside the vehicle. A simulated image is assembled corresponding to a selected vantage point on an imaginary parabolic surface outside the vehicle from exterior image data and a virtual vehicle image superimposed on a part of the image data. Objects are detected at respective locations around the vehicle subject to potential impact. An obstruction ratio is quantified for a detected object having corresponding image data in the simulated image obscured by the vehicle image. When the detected object has an obstruction ratio above an obstruction threshold, a corresponding bounding zone of the vehicle image is rendered at least partially transparent in the simulated image to unobscure the corresponding image data.

A camera system is provided. The camera system includes an image sensor, at least one light source, and a processing unit. The image sensor is configured to capture a plurality of images. The processing unit is configured to perform the following instructions. A plurality of reflection values on at least one subject in the captured images is acquired. A relationship between a luminance level of the light sources and a reflection level on the at least one subject is obtained. A luminance configuration is determined according to the relationship between the luminance level of the light sources and the reflection level on the at least one subject. A luminous power of at least one of the light sources is adjusted according to the luminance configuration.

A multi-camera vision system for a vehicle includes a rear backup camera, a forward viewing camera that views through the vehicle windshield, and a central data processor disposed in the vehicle. Captured image data provided to the central data processor is processed to detect objects that are within the field of view of the forward viewing camera and/or the field of view of the rear backup camera. Captured radar data is also provided to the central data processor and, via processing of captured image data and captured radar data, a potential hazard is determined to exist. A display device includes a video screen that displays video images captured by the rear backup camera for viewing by a driver of the vehicle during the rearward maneuver of the vehicle, and an overlay overlays the displayed video images captured by the rear backup camera during the rearward maneuver of the equipped vehicle.

A display device includes an image generation device configured to allow a viewer to recognize the image, a control device configured to control the image generation device, a light projector configured to output the image as light, an optical mechanism capable of adjusting a distance from a predetermined position to a position at which the light is formed as a virtual image, a concave mirror configured to reflect light passing through the optical mechanism toward a reflector, a first actuator configured to adjust the distance in the optical mechanism, and a second actuator configured to adjust a reflection angle of the concave mirror. The control device estimates a temperature of the light projector, and in a case in which the estimated temperature is equal to or higher than a predetermined upper limit temperature, the control device causes the first actuator to reduce the distance.

An ECU as a vehicle device includes an image generation unit that generates an image in a predetermined reference coordinate system, a viewpoint position identification unit that identifies a viewpoint position of a driver; a superimposed position identification unit that identifies a display position at which the image is displayed within an eyesight of the driver; an image conversion unit that generates a converted image obtained by converting the image into a coordinate system having the viewpoint position of the driver as a reference point; and a notification unit that displays a display image falling within the converted image so as to be superimposed on the eyesight of the driver with the projection device.

A display system includes an imaging section, a display section, a selection section, an operation section, and a display control section. The imaging section is configured to image toward a rear and a side of a vehicle. The display section is configured to display an image captured by the imaging section. The selection section is configured to allow selection of a standard mode or a wide-angle mode. The operation section is configured to enable operation of one out of forward driving or reverse driving of the vehicle. The display control section includes RAM, and switches to whichever mode has been set out of the standard mode or the wide-angle mode immediately prior to the vehicle being driven in reverse in cases in which an operation to switch from reverse driving to forward driving of the vehicle has been performed using the operation section while in a reverse driving mode.

Vehicles and methods for providing visual assistance to a driver during low ambient light conditions are provided. The vehicle includes at least one headlight, a visible light detection system configured to output a vision signal, a heads-up display configured to generate one or more images, one or more processors, and one or more non-transitory memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors. The vision signal is indicative of an area illuminated by visible light generated by the at least one headlight. The memory modules store machine-readable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to receive an object signal representing a three-dimensional representation of an environment located in front of the vehicle.

Disclosed is a head-up display (HUD) device for providing three-dimensional (3D) augmented reality (AR). The HUD display includes a display disposed in an upper region of a windshield of a vehicle, the display configured to output a light corresponding to a panel image in a direction of a dashboard region in a vicinity of a lower portion of the windshield, and an optical element disposed in the dashboard region, the optical element configured to reflect the light corresponding to the panel image in a direction of an intermediate region of the windshield.

An HUD apparatus is configured to irradiate light for forming an image on a transmissive reflector provided in a movable body, and to display a virtual image in a display area to overlap the virtual image with scenery outside the movable body. A given distance range in the scenery from a reference point that is set in the movable body is included in the display area, and a difference between a first convergence angle to a target object (e.g., road surface) that is present in the given distance range and a second convergence angle to the virtual image displayed in the display area is at most one degree.
