CAMERA PEEK INTO TURN
Aspects of the disclosure relate to adjusting a virtual camera's orientation when a vehicle is making a turn. One or more computing devices may receive the vehicle's original heading prior to making the turn and the vehicle's current heading. Based on the vehicle's original heading and the vehicle's current heading, the one or more computing devices may determine an angle of a turn the vehicle is performing and The one or more computing devices may determine a camera rotation angle and adjust the virtual camera's orientation relative to the vehicle to an updated orientation by rotating the virtual camera by the camera rotation angle and generate a video corresponding to the virtual camera's updated orientation. The video may be displayed on the display by the one or more computing devices.
DYNAMIC IMAGING SYSTEM
A dynamic imaging system is disclosed. The dynamic imaging system may comprise one or more imager, one or more input device, a controller, and/or a display. Each imager may be operable to capture a video stream having a field of view. In some embodiments, the controller may articulate the imager or crop the field of view to change the field of view in response to signals from the one or more input devices. For example, the signal may relate to the vehicle's speed. In other embodiments, the controller may apply a warp to the field of view. The warp may be applied in response to signals from the one or more input devices. In yet other embodiments, video streams from one or more imagers may be stitched together by the controller. Further, the controller may likewise move the stitch line in response to signals from the or more input devices.
VEHICLE IMAGE CONTROLLER, SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME, AND METHOD THEREOF
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.
SWITCHABLE DISPLAY DURING PARKING MANEUVERS
An apparatus includes a plurality of capture devices and a processor. The plurality of capture devices may each be configured to generate video frames corresponding to an area outside of a vehicle. The processor may be configured to receive the video frames from each of the plurality of capture devices, generate video data for a display in response to the video frames, store a view preference for the display corresponding to (i) a location and (ii) a vehicle status, determine a current location and a current status of the vehicle and generate an output signal to select a view for the display. The output signal may be generated in response to the current location matching the location and the current status matching the vehicle status. The view selected may be determined based on the view preference.
Monitoring device for a motor vehicle
A monitoring device for a motor vehicle having at least one camera device and a display surface, wherein the camera device is arranged so that a lateral region of the motor vehicle is captured, wherein the monitoring device is embodied so that the recordings of the camera device are displayed on the display surface, wherein the monitoring device is embodied so that the recordings are projected onto a side window of the motor vehicle by projection optics or are displayed on a display on or in the side window.
Multi-panel display system and method for jointly displaying a scene
A display system is provided. The display system includes a first display panel, a second display panel, and a processing unit. The first display panel is configured to display a first content. The second display panel is configured to display a second content, where a gap is between a frame of the first display panel and a frame of the second display panel, and the first content and the second content share a same 3D world coordinate. The processing unit is configured to establish a scene, where the scene is jointly displayed by the first content rendered in the first display panel and the second content rendered in the second display panel. The scene includes a third content that is not shown on the first display panel or the second display panel.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING VEHICLE DRIVING INFORMATION
A system for displaying vehicle driving information may include: first and second image acquisition devices configured to capture an image of a first side on which a driver seat is located and an image of a second side which is the opposite side of the first side, respectively; first and second display devices configured to display the captured images of the first and second image acquisition devices, respectively; first and second BSD devices and configured to sense side-rear vehicle information; and a control device configured to recognize the location and vehicle distance of the side-rear vehicle by analyzing the side-rear vehicle information detected by the first and second BSD devices, determine whether to issue a BSD warning, and control BSD warning icons of the ego vehicle and the side-rear vehicle to be displayed as an OSD of the images displayed on the first and second display devices.
Apparatus for providing vehicular environment information
An apparatus for providing vehicular environment information, includes acquiring with at least one sensor vehicular environment data that is external to a vehicle. The at least one sensor comprises at least one camera, and the vehicular environment data comprises image data. The vehicular environment data is provided to a processing unit. The processing unit determines vehicular environment information. The determination of the vehicular environment information comprises use of the vehicular environment data. At least part of the image data is displayed on a display monitor on the basis of the vehicular environment information. The processing unit causes the display monitor to display the at least part of the image data.
DRIVER-ASSISTING SYSTEM FOR AN INDUSTRIAL VEHICLE
A driver-assisting system for an industrial vehicle comprising: a first camera mounted on a vehicle cab for viewing an area in front of the vehicle; an image processing unit operatively connected to said first camera for receiving image data from said first camera; a display unit operatively connected to said image processing unit for displaying image to a user based on said image data; a control unit operatively connected to said first camera for modifying operating parameters of said first camera; wherein the first camera is adapted to provide a wide-angle field of vision, and in that the field of vision of said first camera relative to the vehicle can be adjusted by the control unit.
Driving assistance device and driving assistance method
A driving assistance device converts an image captured by an in-vehicle camera configured to image the periphery of a vehicle into an image viewed from a virtual viewpoint. The driving assistance device combines, as a higher-level layer, a vehicle image indicating the position and shape of the vehicle with a converted target image. The driving assistance device adjusts the opacity of the vehicle image such that the target image as a lower-level layer is visible at a superimposed portion of the vehicle image and the target image. At this point, the opacity of the vehicle image is variably set according to at least one of an own vehicle surrounding condition or a vehicle running condition. The driving assistance device outputs, as a driving assistance image, the target image combined with the adjusted vehicle image.
