A display control device for a vehicle include: an acquisition unit that acquires information of an object located at a progress path of the vehicle; and a display control unit that, on the basis of the information acquired by the acquisition unit, causes information of the object to be displayed at a display unit of a spectacles-form wearable terminal, the wearable terminal being provided with the display unit and being configured to be worn by an occupant of the vehicle.

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.

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.

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.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a display control assembly, a control method for a display control assembly, a head-up display system, and a vehicle. The display control assembly includes a processor and a display source. The processor is configured to generate, according to driving state information of a vehicle, traffic information of an intersection to be approached by the vehicle and distance information, prompt information for indicating a driving suggestion; and the display source is configured to output the prompt information.

A hazardous behavior determining unit (3) determines a vehicle that is conducting or is likely to conduct hazardous driving from among one or more vehicles around a host vehicle and a type of the hazardous driving using information indicating states of the host vehicle and the vehicles and a surrounding situation and behavior information stored in an onboard database (2). A registered vehicle identifying unit (5) identifies a vehicle that corresponds to hazardous vehicle information stored in the onboard database (2) by collating numbers of a license plate detected by a number detecting unit (4) with numbers stored in the onboard database (2). A hazard predicting unit (6) predicts a risk to the host vehicle using the determination result from the hazardous behavior determining unit (3) and the identification result from the registered vehicle identifying unit (5).

A vehicle display device includes a display portion attached to a vehicle. The vehicle display device acquires a position of a viewpoint-related part provided by a viewpoint of a driver or a point that moves together with the viewpoint. The vehicle display device acquires image data for generating a display image to be displayed on the display portion. The vehicle display device generates the display image based on the image data and display the display image on the display portion.

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 surroundings monitoring apparatus includes an image acquisition portion acquiring captured image data, an image conversion portion converting the captured image data to virtual image data with a plurality of virtual viewpoints, and a data control portion sequentially displaying the virtual image data at a display unit in a state where each of the virtual viewpoints moves from a first virtual viewpoint position at which an opposite side of the vehicle is viewed, through a second virtual viewpoint position at which the vehicle is viewed from an overhead region of the vehicle, and to a third virtual viewpoint position at which the one side of the vehicle is viewed. The data control portion rotates the virtual image data with reference to a line of sight of the virtual viewpoint while the virtual image data is displayed so that the virtual viewpoint passes through the second virtual viewpoint position.

An interactive driving system and method that improves a driving experience by allowing a passenger to interactively monitor and evaluate certain driving maneuvers in real-time with an augmented reality interface. The input provided by the passenger via the augmented reality interface is recorded for later processing and analysis. For instance, the passenger input may be used to generate driving reports for later review by the driver and passenger (e.g., when the passenger is teaching a new driver how to drive) or for the manufacturer of autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles (e.g., when the manufacturer is seeking actionable feedback for improving various self-driving algorithms). In addition, the interactive driving system and method entertain the passenger with the augmented reality interface, which can be delivered in a game-like fashion via a computer program product installed on their own personal electronic device (e.g., a tablet, phone, laptop, etc.).
