A system and method provide rearward viewing for a vehicle driver. The rearward viewing system includes left side and right side video cameras for obtaining video image rearwardly outwardly from the sides of the vehicle. Left side and right side electronic image displays display portions of the images. A vehicle interior driver monitoring camera senses an upper body position of a driver. An electronic processor is configured to receive an upper body position and determine portions of the left side video images to display on the left side electronic image display, and to determine portions of the right side video images to display on the right side electronic image display. Additional movements of a driver adjust a field of view of the left side video images by changing portions thereof that are provided to the left side electronic image display. Right side and rearview images are also adjusted.

A display image to be displayed on a display unit is obtained in accordance with motion of a viewpoint of a driver, on the basis of a captured image obtained by capturing an image on a rear side from a vehicle, when a line-of-sight of the driver is in a certain region including the display unit. For example, the display image is obtained in accordance with a deviation of a viewpoint position of the driver from a reference viewpoint position. For example, the reference viewpoint position is updated on the basis of a long-term fluctuation of the viewpoint position. For example, the reference viewpoint position is not updated when a line-of-sight of the driver is in a certain region including a display unit that displays a display image.

A vehicle display control device includes a first image acquisition unit that acquires a first image by a first camera unit, a second image acquisition unit that acquires a second image by a second camera unit, a bird's-eye view image generation unit that generates a bird's-eye view image where a virtual vehicle image is synthesized at a center thereof based on the second image, a detection unit that performs an object recognition processing on the first image to detect a warning object, a direction calculation unit that calculates a direction of the warning object from the virtual vehicle image on a position of the warning object, and a display controller that displays the first image on a first monitor, and the bird's-eye view image and the direction of the warning object therein on a second monitor based on a position of the first camera unit in the vehicle image.

A system, apparatus and method for enhancing a driver's field of view in a vehicle. Sensor data may be generated, via one or more first sensors, relating a pitch angle of the vehicle and received in a processing apparatus, which further determines if the pitch angle of the vehicle exceeds a configured pitch angle threshold for a configured period of time. One or more control signals may be transmitted to activate one or more cameras configured to capture image data at least in a front area of the vehicle if the processing apparatus determines that the pitch angle exceeds the configured pitch angle for the configured period of time. The captured image data may then be displayed on a display unit.

An image processing device includes an image acquisition unit that acquires an image obtained by capturing an object around a movable apparatus, a distance information acquisition unit that acquires distance information indicating a distance to the object around the movable apparatus, a first overhead view image generation unit that generates a first overhead view image from a plurality of the captured images by using the distance information, a second overhead view image generation unit that generates a second overhead view image from a plurality of the captured images, a movement state detection unit that detects a state of movement of at least one of the movable apparatus and the object, and a control unit that causes the first overhead view image generation unit or the second overhead view image generation unit to generate the first overhead view image or the second overhead view image according to the state of movement.

A method for aligning a camera of a vehicle camera monitor system (CMS) includes mounting the camera to a vehicle on one side thereof, the camera having a camera opening angle, providing the camera with at least one image sensor having an entire area of full sensor field of view (FoV), forwarding the image data recorded by the at least one image sensor to a monitor of the CMS to display an image comprising the first area to a driver of the vehicle, and aligning the camera with its camera opening angle such that the first area is at least one of arranged at the horizontal outermost position of the image captured by the image sensor of the camera or at the vertical outermost position of the image displayed on the monitor.

A display method is a display method performed by a display device that operates in conjunction with a mobile object, and includes: determining which one of first surrounding information, which is video showing a surrounding condition of the mobile object and is generated using two-dimensional information, and second surrounding information, which is video showing the surrounding condition of the mobile object and is generated using three-dimensional data, is to be displayed, based on a driving condition of the mobile object; and displaying the one of the first surrounding information and the second surrounding information that is determined to be displayed.

A method for aligning a camera of a vehicle camera monitor system (CMS) includes mounting the camera to a vehicle on one side thereof, the camera having a camera opening angle, providing the camera with at least one image sensor having an entire area of full sensor field of view (FoV), forwarding the image data recorded by the at least one image sensor to a monitor of the CMS to display an image comprising the first area to a driver of the vehicle, and aligning the camera with its camera opening angle such that the first area is at least one of arranged at the horizontal outermost position of the image captured by the image sensor of the camera or at the vertical outermost position of the image displayed on the monitor.

A work vehicle is provided with a first portion having a frame supported by ground engaging units, and an operator cab with a first (forward) side and opposing second and third sides having respective (i.e., left and right) fields of view. At least a first portion of terrain proximate to the frame (i.e., an area of interest) is obscured from view of an operator in the operator cab during at least a portion of a trajectory of movement of a second portion of the work vehicle (e.g., a boom assembly). At least one imaging device is mounted on the work vehicle and has a field of view including the area of interest throughout the trajectory of movement of the second portion.

A parking assistance device includes an imager that captures an image of a surrounding of a vehicle, and a display that displays a guidance image for guiding the vehicle from a parking start position to a target parking position and displays a moving area in which the vehicle can move during a parking operation. An area and dimension of the moving area displayed on the display changes based on a change in a steering angle of the vehicle.
