Vehicle vision system using at least two cameras
A vision system for a vehicle includes first and second cameras configured to be disposed at respective locations at the vehicle so as to have respective first and second fields of view exterior of the vehicle. The locations are vertically and horizontally spaced apart by respective vertical and horizontal separation distances. With the first and second cameras disposed at the respective locations, the first field of view at least partially overlaps the second field of view. A control includes an image processor operable to process image data captured by the cameras. The control, with the first and second cameras disposed at the respective locations, and responsive to processing of captured image data and based on the separation distances, is operable to determine presence of an object in the first and second fields of view and to determine the location of the object in three dimensional space relative to the vehicle.
Vehicle display device and vehicle display system
A vehicle display device includes a display configured to display a video; a first mirror configured to reflect the video displayed in the display; and a second mirror configured to reflect the video reflected on the first mirror, wherein a distance from eye point of occupant of vehicle to a reflecting image formed by the second mirror is optically extended such that it becomes longer than a distance from the eye point of the occupant to a display surface of the display.
Vehicle periphery display system, display control device, and recording medium
A display control device generates a display image including an image obtained by reducing a predetermined range in a captured image based on an image captured by an image capturing device, and causes the display device to display the display image. In an adjustment mode, the display control device generates a computer graphics (CG) for allowing a user to set a range included in the display image and causes the display device to display the computer graphics. The CG indicates a range displayed in a reduced state and a range displayed without being reduced in a range included in the display image in different aspects.
Augmented reality-based roadside content viewing within primary field of view
A display of roadside objects on a vehicle windshield within a primary field of view of a driver, with an indication of a level of importance of the object is provided. A method includes: detecting, by a computer device, a roadside object in a vehicle driver's peripheral view; analyzing, by the computer device, the detected roadside object to assign a level of importance to the object based on predefined levels of importance; and displaying, by the computer device, the roadside object as a semi-transparent object in a display area of a windshield of the vehicle with an indication of the level of importance of the object.
Image processing device, image display system, and image processing method
An image processing device includes: an obtainer which obtains, from an imaging device provided in a vehicle so as to be oriented to capture an image of an area behind the vehicle, an image captured by the imaging device; a position detector which detects a face position of a driver; and an image processor which performs image processing to clip, according to the face position detected by the position detector, an image having a range corresponding to the face position, out of a combined image including the image, and superimpose a position image indicating a position in the vehicle, on the image at a position corresponding to the face position, and outputs an image resulting from the image processing.
Video-based rear-view mirror system for vehicles including motorcycles
An improved video-based rear-view mirror system for vehicles including motorcycles (but also with application to other vehicles including cars, trucks, bicycles, and so on) includes at least one digital display screen configured to be mounted in a side-mirror positioned unit; and at least one camera unit coupled to the digital display screen, such that the digital display screen is configured to display video data captured by the camera unit; wherein the system is configured such that the video data displayed by the at least one display screen is tuned to provide a side-mirror proxy view.
FLEXIBLE HUB FOR HANDLING MULTI-SENSOR DATA
A hub that receives sensor data streams and then distributes the data streams to the various systems that use the sensor data. A demultiplexer (demux) receives the streams, filters out undesired streams and provides desired streams to the proper multiplexer (mux) or muxes of a series of muxes. Each mux combines received streams and provides an output stream to a respective formatter or output block. The formatter or output block is configured based on the destination of the mux output stream, such as an image signal processor, a processor, memory or external transmission. The output block reformats the received stream to a format appropriate for the recipient and then provides the reformatted stream to that recipient.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CAPTURING AND DISPLAYING IMAGES FROM A VEHICLE/TRAILER CAMERA
An imaging and display system for use in a vehicle pulling a trailer, the system including: a trailer camera mounted on the trailer such that the camera is oriented to receive images from a first field of view having a horizontal angle and a vertical angle where the vertical angle is greater than the horizontal angle; an image processor for creating a back-up image and a rearward image from an image captured by the camera, the back-up image corresponding to a second field of view cropped from the lowest portion of the first field of view and the rearward image corresponding to a third field of view cropped from a portion of the first field of view above the lowest portion, the third field of view having a horizontal angle and a vertical angle where the horizontal angle is greater than the vertical angle.
Vehicle collision avoidance system
A vehicle collision avoidance system has a side-view camera positioned on a side portion of a vehicle and configured to present a driver with a rear side view exterior to the vehicle. A display is coupled to the side-view camera and disposed in view of the driver to output a video stream from the side-view camera. A turn signal sensor is configured to detect activation of a turn signal. A controller is configured to receive signals from the turn signal sensor and to adjust a field of view of the side-view camera based on activation of the turn signal.
System for controlling host vehicle and method for controlling host vehicle
Disclosed are a system for controlling a host vehicle including one or more image sensors and one or more radar sensors and controller configured to recognize a target vehicle and measure a front coordinate of the target vehicle and generate a warning according to whether the front coordinate of the target vehicle is located in a preset blind spot alert area of the host vehicle. The present disclosure may determine whether to activate an warning based on a front coordinate of a target vehicle and prevent a malfunction when activating the warning, thereby providing a driver with driving safety and driving convenience.
