An apparatus for monitoring periphery of a vehicle and displaying a view on a display device is disclosed. The apparatus comprises imaging units coupled at side and rear end of the vehicle. The imaging units provided at side are coupled to a fender of the vehicle. The apparatus comprises an image-processing unit to process images captured by the imaging units. The display device is provided at an interior of the vehicle. For example, the display device is provided at a dashboard or at a rooftop of the vehicle. The display device comprises a plurality of display areas, each configured to display the images captured by the imaging units provided at the side and rear end of the vehicle.

A camera system is installed on the front end of a vehicle, either on the left front, the right front, or both sides. The camera is linked via wired or wireless connection to an onboard computer and a navigation display that is located within the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The driver reviews a visual description on the display of any oncoming traffic in the form of motor vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, animals and the like on the navigation display via a single screen, split screen or alternating screens. The camera system can include a speed sensor that detects when the vehicle reaches a threshold speed to activate or de-activate the camera. Alternatively, the computer can activate the system when a tum signal is activated, and de-activate the system when the tum signal is no longer activated. This camera system can be retrofitted into older vehicles.

A vehicular control system includes a central control module vehicle, a plurality of image capture sensors, at least one radar sensor and at least one lidar sensor disposed at an equipped. The central control module receives vehicle data relating to operation of the vehicle. During a driving maneuver of the vehicle, and responsive at least in part to fusion at the central control module of (i) captured image data, (ii) captured radar data and (iii) captured lidar data, a pedestrian or other vehicle may be detected or the speed of the equipped vehicle may be controlled. Responsive to the central control module determining that the detected pedestrian constitutes a potentially hazardous driving condition for the equipped vehicle, the central control module may control at least one selected from the group consisting of (i) braking of the equipped vehicle and (ii) steering of the equipped vehicle.

A mirror replacement system (12) for a motor vehicle (10) is described, having at least one processor unit (28), an optical sensor unit (14) which generates image and/or video data of the environment of the motor vehicle (10), and a screen (38) which is arranged so as to display at least part of the generated image and/or video data. The mirror replacement system (12) comprises a viewing direction sensor (30) which is arranged so as to determine the viewing direction of the vehicle driver (36) on the screen (38) or the position of the head of the vehicle driver (36). The processor unit (28) is arranged so as to adapt the image and/or video data to be displayed on the screen (38) based on the detected viewing direction or position of the head so that the image and/or video data displayed on the screen (38) are adapted to the position of the head or to the viewing direction of the vehicle driver (36). A method of displaying image and/or video data is furthermore described.

A utility vehicle comprising a device for displaying a portion on a screen, the portion being concealed by an object at least in part, and the object being arranged between the portion and a vehicle driver and the screen being arranged between the vehicle driver and the object, the portion being in a region that is recorded by a camera setup, the device having a determination device that is provided and set up to determine a position of at least one eye of the vehicle driver and a position of the screen, the determination device determining the position of the portion in the recorded region using the position of the eye and the position of the screen, and this portion being represented by the screen.

An image display apparatus has: a setting device (132) for setting a synthesizing plane (CS) at a position that is away backward from a first vehicle; a synthesizing device (133) for synthesizing a rear image (111B) captured by a rear imaging device (11B) for imaging a rear area of the first vehicle and a rear side image (111BL, 111BR) captured by a rear side imaging device (11B) for imaging a rear side area of the first vehicle to generate a synthesized image (111C) in which a scene in the rear image and a scene in the rear side image are seamlessly connected at a position of the synthesizing plane, the setting device sets the synthesizing plane at a position that is different from a position at which the synthesizing plane is set when a second vehicle does not exist at the rear of the first vehicle, when the second vehicle exists at the rear of the first vehicle.

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.

An image display device includes an image capturing unit configured to capture an image of a rearview and a sideview from a host vehicle, and a display unit configured to display, as a display image, a captured image captured by the image capturing unit or a generated image generated based on the captured image. The display unit includes a first area for displaying the display image that includes an area to the rearview of the host vehicle and a second area, being arranged adjacent to the first area, for displaying the display image that includes an area to the sideview of the host vehicle, and the displayed image displayed in the second area is image-processed in such a manner that an aspect ratio changes with respect to an aspect ratio of the display image displayed in the first area.

A vehicle image controller, a system including the same, and a method thereof are provided. The vehicle image controller includes a processor configured to determine a head motion of a user or a sight motion of the user and to align a view point displayed on a display of a vehicle corresponding to the head motion or the sight motion and a storage configured to store information regarding the head motion or the sight motion.

A camera system is installed on the front end of a vehicle, either on the left front, the right front, or both sides. The camera is linked via wired or wireless connection to an onboard computer and a navigation display that is located within the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The driver reviews a visual description on the display of any oncoming traffic in the form of motor vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, animals and the like on the navigation display via a single screen, split screen or alternating screens. The camera system can include a speed sensor that detects when the vehicle reaches a threshold speed to activate or de-activate the camera. Alternatively, the computer can activate the system when a turn signal is activated, and de-activate the system when the turn signal is no longer activated. This camera system can be retrofitted into older vehicles.
