A parking assistance system includes: a color/IR detector which detects, from a camera image captured with a camera, marker candidates that are areas in each of which an intensity of a color component or an infrared (IR) component exceeds a threshold; a marker position calculator which calculates positions of the marker candidates in the camera image; and a validity verifier which determines whether the marker candidates are valid as the markers, based on the positions of the marker candidates and a predetermined positional relationship of the markers.

A method of displaying a three-dimensional (3D) object includes acquiring a driving image from a single camera, classifying line marks including a road surface into one or more groups based on a change in a curvature of a line of the road surface, estimating a pitch angle corresponding to an angle of inclination between the road surface and the single camera for each of the one or more groups, generating 3D information of the road surface, and displaying an 3D object visually overlaid on the road surface based on the 3D information of the road surface.

A displace device for a vehicle includes a display unit and a controller. The controller is configured to: receive an image of a road in which the vehicle is located and trajectory information providing a trajectory of vehicle movement, detect one or more lanes of the road based on the received image of the road, assign weights to (i) the detected one or more lanes and (ii) the trajectory of vehicle movement, respectively, based on a preset reference value, generate a virtual road image providing a direction based on the assigned weights, and control the display unit to display the generated virtual road image.

An augmented road line display system that includes one or more sensors installed on a vehicle, one or more external databases, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to receive inputs from the one or more databases, sensors of the vehicle, and a sub-system of the vehicle, build and validate a road line model to detect or predict a road line based on the inputs received, determine environmental conditions based on the inputs from one or more of the databases, and a sub-system of the vehicle, assign weights to the inputs received based on the environmental conditions to generate weighted inputs, and execute the road line model to determine the road line based on the weighted inputs.

A display control device for a vehicle includes: a display controller that displays a predetermined display image on a windshield of the vehicle; a visibility reducing area detector that detects a presence or an absence of a visibility reducing area which reduces a visibility of the display image on the windshield; and a gaze detector that detects a gaze of a driver. When the display image overlaps with the visibility reducing area and the driver does not keep the gaze on the display image, the display controller moves the display image to an outside of the visibility reducing area.

A display control device for a vehicle includes: a display controller that displays a determined display image including a display of a traveling state of the vehicle on a windshield of the vehicle; a visibility reducing area detector that detects a presence or an absence of a visibility reducing area on the windshield, the visibility reducing area reduces visibility of a driver; and a gaze detector that detects a gaze of the driver. When the visibility reducing area is detected, but the display of the traveling state does not overlap with the visibility reducing area, and the driver keeps the gaze on the visibility reducing area, the display controller displays, on the visibility reducing area, a traveling direction information necessary for driving the vehicle.

A display controller controls a display device provided for a mobile object to display a display image including at least one item of contents of data. The display controller includes an image data acquisition unit configured to obtain image data from an imaging device configured to capture an image around the mobile object, and a display-image generation unit configured to generate the display image. The display-image generation unit changes a display mode of the at least one item of contents of data included in the display image to increase visual recognizability of a desired item of contents of data included in the at least one item of contents of data to a level at least higher than visual recognizability of an area in the image data not including the desired item of contents of data.

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.

An object detection and display apparatus for mounting in a moveable body includes a far infrared camera (10), a display device (30), and a controller (22) (processor). The controller (22) detects, from a first image outputted by the far infrared camera (10), an image of a display target object at a distance equal to or greater than the distance reached by light from headlights (5) of the moveable body, and causes the display device (30) to display an image element corresponding to the display target object based on the position of the image of the display target object in the first image.

Disclosed is a mobile terminal that provides an augmented reality navigation screen in a state of being hold in a vehicle, the mobile terminal including: at least one camera configured to obtain a front image; a display; and at least one processor configured to calibrate the front image, and to drive an augmented reality navigation application so that the augmented reality navigation screen including at least one augmented reality (AR) graphic object and the calibrated front image is displayed on the display.
