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.

Provided herein is an apparatus for displaying a forward blind spot situation. The apparatus for displaying a forward blind spot situation includes a front camera capturing a blind spot of a driver, a display device displaying image information on the blind spot of the driver captured through the front camera, and a processor controlling the image information on the blind spot of the driver captured through the front camera to be seamlessly output at a position of a driver's gaze.

The present disclosure provides a display system that includes an information acquisition device, a display processing device, a posture detection device, and a correction processing device. The information acquisition device acquires a position of a moving body and information outside the moving body. The display processing device controls display of an image based on information acquired by the information acquisition device. The posture detection device that detects posture variation of the moving body. The correction processing device that sets a correction amount of a display position of the image based on posture variation of the moving body, outputs the correction amount when the display information acquired from the display processing device indicates that the image is being displayed, and reduces size of the correction amount when the display information indicates that the image is not being displayed.

A map points-of-change detection device includes: a camera capturing an image of an area around a vehicle; a bird's-eye-view transformation section transforming the image into a bird's-eye view image; a map storage portion storing a road map including a road surface map; a collation processing section determining whether a point of change in the road surface map exits, the point of change being a position at which a change has occurred on an actual road surface; and a collation region identification section that determines a region for collation in a width direction of the vehicle from the bird's-eye view image.

A display system includes a display processing device that controls display of an image, a posture detection device that detects a posture change amount of a moving body, a correction processing device that sets a correction amount of a display position of the image, a display determiner that determines whether or not to display the image, and a gradient change detector that detects a gradient change of a traveling path. The gradient change detector detects that a posture change of the moving body is started when an absolute value of the posture change amount is larger than a first threshold, and that the posture change is completed when the absolute value becomes smaller than a second threshold after start of the posture change. The display determiner determines not to display the image from start of the posture change until completion of the posture change.

In an image processing apparatus, a vehicle speed obtainer obtains vehicle speed information indicative of a speed of a vehicle. A deactivation controller determines whether the speed of the vehicle represented by the vehicle speed information is equal to or lower than a speed-related deactivation threshold previously determined for a target device. The target device is a selected one of first and second imaging devices. The selected one of the first and second imaging devices has one of first and second angular fields of view smaller than the other of the first and second angular fields of view. The deactivation controller deactivates a capture operation of the target device upon determination that the speed of the vehicle represented by the vehicle speed information is equal to or lower than the speed-related deactivation threshold previously determined for the target device.

A method for displaying and processing an image includes capturing the image, calculating one or more of a size, a position, and a field of view of a first region of interest (ROI) of the captured image, calculating one or more of a size, a position, and a field of view of a second ROI of the captured image, calculating a blur factor for blurring the first ROI, manipulating an image gradient of the first ROI pixel by pixel using the blur factor to reduce at least one of a brightness or a contrast of one or more pixels of the ROI, manipulating the second ROI by changing a color of one or more pixel values from the second ROI, and displaying the processed image on a display. An imaging system which includes an image signal processor (ISP) is also described.

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 vehicular AVM (Around View Monitoring) system may include: a rear camera module 10 mounted on an area of a vehicle and configured to acquire an image around the vehicle; an interface unit 20 configured to receive information on a turning angle α at which a driver's face 21 is turned to the left or right and/or a side-to-side displacement l by which the face 21 is moved to the left or right from the central axis of the driver's body; a camera steering processor 30 configured to adjust the angle θ of a camera 11 of the rear camera module 10 according to the information received by the interface unit 20; and an image processor 50 configured to control a display unit 40 to display an image of an area 41 matched with the information received by the interface unit 20, among the surrounding images of the vehicle.

An A-pillar display device includes an interior camera, an exterior camera, a display, and a processor. The interior camera is mounted on an A-pillar inside a vehicle and configured to acquire facial images of a driver while driving. The exterior camera is mounted on the A-pillar outside the vehicle and configured to acquire a scene outside the vehicle. The display is mounted on the A-pillar inside the vehicle and configured to display the scene. The processor is configured to calculate head twisting data and visual field data according to the facial images, adjust a first shooting angle of the interior camera according to the head twisting data, and adjust a second shooting angle of the exterior camera according to the visual field data.
