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 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.

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 system is provided in a vehicle and includes: an HUD positioned inside the vehicle and configured so as to display, on the vehicle window, a surrounding environment video indicating the environment surrounding the vehicle; and a display control unit controlling the HUD such that the surrounding environment video is displayed on the window in accordance with prescribed conditions associated to the vehicle or the environment surrounding the vehicle and configured so as to reduce the transmittance of the window.

A vehicular trailer hitching assist system includes a rear backup camera disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle and a control disposed in the vehicle. A display device includes a video display screen operable to display video images for viewing by a driver of the vehicle. Responsive to the driver initiating a hitching maneuver event by engaging reverse gear of the vehicle, rear backup video images derived from image data captured by the rear backup camera are displayed at the video display screen. An overlay overlays the displayed rear backup video images and aids in guiding connection of a trailer hitch of the equipped vehicle to a trailer tongue of a trailer. Continued display of rear backup video images that are overlaid by the overlay is ceased upon elapse of a threshold period of time or upon exceeding a threshold speed or upon exceeding a threshold distance traveled.

A display control device that controls a display state of a virtual image to be overlapped on an overlapping target in front of a passenger of the vehicle includes: a display image generator that generates a guide display object image formed by a combination of a plurality of image elements overlapped and displayed along a travel route to notify a passenger of the travel route of the vehicle; and an abandonment determination unit that determines whether each of the image elements is disposed out of a displayable range of the virtual image. When one of the image elements is disposed out of the displayable range, the display image generator displays a part of the image elements as the guide display object image, which is disposed along the travel route just before the one of the image elements that is determined to be out of the displayable range.

A method for adjusting a human machine interface (HMI) element location in a commercial vehicle display includes displaying, on an electronic display of a commercial vehicle, images from a camera secured to the commercial vehicle that depict a trailer of the commercial vehicle and its surrounding environment; determining a reference location of a reference point of the trailer in the images; superimposing an HMI element in the images on the electronic display at an HMI location determined relative to the reference location; and detecting that the reference location has changed in the images, and adjusting the HMI location in response thereto. A camera monitoring system (CMS) for a vehicle and a method for a camera mirror system are also disclosed.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle display device and a control method thereof, the vehicle display device comprising: a display unit; and a control unit that activates a navigation mode for guiding to a destination, and controls the display unit to display a virtual item indicating a driving direction that needs to be changed at a specific display angle when the driving direction needs to be changed within a preset distance on the basis of road information provided in the navigation mode while a vehicle is driving to the destination, wherein the control unit performs a control such that the display angle of the item changes on the basis of the angle of the driving direction that needs to be changed.

Systems including one or more sensors, coupled to a vehicle, may detect sensor information and provide the sensor information to another computing device for processing. The processing may include analyzing the sensor information to identify one or more risk objects, such as animals, pedestrians, potholes, etc. The processing may further include generating a three-dimensional (3D) risk map, which may be displayed to a passenger in the vehicle. The 3D risk map may illustrate the one or more risk objects as one or more point clouds, respectively, within a virtual world representation of the vehicle's surroundings. Such a display may be used to alert drivers to possible risks while driving. In case of an accident, the 3D risk map may also be leveraged by insurance providers to process insurance claims and to notify customers that an insurance claim has been established.

A park assistance system for a motor vehicle is presented that has a distance sensor system for generating a sensor signal depending on a lateral distance to an object. A computing unit of the park assistance system generates graphics data based on the sensor signal, and contains an augmented reality system for superimposing a graphic element onto a field of view of a driver. An extension of the graphic element along a vertical axis depends on a value of the distance.
