A display system according to the present disclosure includes a camera that captures a traveling image of a vehicle in a traveling direction, a display device, one or more storage devices that store a reference deceleration indicating a predetermined deceleration, and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to execute a process of acquiring a vehicle speed of the vehicle, a process of an estimated stop position indicating a stop position when braking is applied at the reference deceleration from the vehicle speed, and a process of displaying the estimated stop position to be superimposed on the traveling image on the display device.

An intelligent transparent light-shielding system applied to a vehicle includes a camera, a transparent display, and a processor. The processor converts an original driving image received from the camera into a grayscale image, converts the grayscale image into an anti-glare image according to a preset threshold, and transmits the anti-glare image to the transparent display for display. Pixels in the grayscale image with grayscale values equal to or lower than the preset threshold respectively correspond to pixels in the anti-glare image with grayscale values equal to a lower limit value. Pixels in the grayscale image with grayscale values greater than the preset threshold respectively correspond to pixels in the anti-glare image with grayscale values greater than the preset threshold. A light-shielding rate of the transparent display corresponds to the grayscale values of the pixels in the anti-glare image.

An ECU captures an image of an imaging region around an own vehicle, and acquires image data, the imaging region being configured by a plurality of imaging areas. The ECU determines whether the object is present in the imaging areas, on the basis of detection results of an object present around the own vehicle. The ECU selects a target area to be displayed in an easy-to-see state from among the plurality of imaging areas, on the basis of determination results. The ECU reduces and corrects the image data of each imaging area such that an image of the target area is displayed in the easy-to-see state compared to an image of each imaging area to generate display image data.

An information processing method for a vehicle includes capturing and storing images of an area in front of the vehicle, acquiring information on the speed of the vehicle, and transmitting an image to an information processing apparatus when a judgment is made that a change in speed equal to or greater than a threshold occurs while the vehicle is traveling in a predetermined section, the image being captured during a predetermined period that includes the time when the judgment is made.

A method for automating the operations of one or more vehicle-mounted cameras in a vehicle-mounted apparatus, obtains information of a geographic position of a vehicle and indications from a high-precision map as to conditions on the stretch of road being travelled by the vehicle. Information as to conditions of the road can include a width of the section of road being travelled by the vehicle. When the information of the road matches with a camera turn-on condition, such as for example the width of the road being less than a first predefined value, the vehicle-mounted camera is turned on. A system applying the method is also provided.

An inductively powered camera device including a housing including a base portion configured to be mounted to an exterior surface of a window of a vehicle, a camera supported by the housing and configured to collect image data, an inductive power pad supported by the housing, the inductive power pad in electrical communication with the camera and configured to provide power to the camera, and an inductive power puck configured to be mounted to an interior surface of the window, the inductive power puck configured to inductively provide power to the inductive power pad through the window of the vehicle.

A method for estimating camera orientation relative to a ground surface. Line segments are detected from an image captured by a camera. A first virtual cube having three orthogonal vanishing points with a random 3D orientation is superimposed on to the image. The line segments of the image are classified grouped into 3D-directional groups. A second virtual cube is superimposed on to the image with an initial 3D orientation. An optimal 3D orientation of the second virtual cube is computed by iteratively changing the 3D orientation of the second virtual cube and measuring perpendicular distances of the three orthogonal vanishing points to the three line segment groups in each iteration starting with the initial 3D orientation, wherein the optimal 3D orientation of the second virtual cube being one that provides shortest perpendicular distances. Co-variances of the orthogonal vanishing points of the second virtual cube at the optimal orientation are computed. Ground orientation is computed from the second virtual cube at the optimal orientation.

The invention relates to a method for providing visual information (29) about at least part of an environment (16), the view onto which is at least in part concealed by a first vehicle (4) travelling ahead, wherein the first vehicle (4) is detected, the visual information (29) is requested, and in case of an availability the visual information (29) is received. Further, at least one image (25a) of a certain part of the environment (16) including at least part of the first vehicle (4) is captured and displayed together with the visual information (29) embedded in the at least one image (25a). Moreover, in case at least one object (O) is present in the certain part of the environment (16), the displaying of the visual information (29) is modified such that image parts representing the at least one object (O) are not covered by the visual information (29).
