A method for avoiding a vehicle undercarriage collision includes identifying an object within a field of view of a vehicle with at least one sensor. a size of the object is determined by comparing the size of the object to a predetermined height of the undercarriage of the vehicle. An indication is provided if the object will collide with an undercarriage of the vehicle

Often when there is a glare on a display screen the user may be able to mitigate the glare by tilting or otherwise moving the screen or changing their viewing position. However, when driving a car there are limited options for overcoming glares on the dashboard, especially when you are driving for a long distance in the same direction. Embodiments are directed to eliminating such glare. Other embodiments are related to mixed reality (MR) and filling in occluded areas.

Provided is a front blind zone perspective virtual display device based on a convex lens/concave lens, and a method. The front blind zone perspective virtual display device includes a convex lens/concave lens, at least one image display and a container, wherein the image display is located within a once focal length at a ray output side of the convex lens/concave lens and configured to display a to-be-imaged target image, and the container contains the convex lens/concave lens and the image display and makes room for an imaging optical path of the convex lens/concave lens and the image display. The present disclosure has the following beneficial effects: the perspective virtual image displayed on the perspective virtual display device is integrally blended with a front road condition, so a driver can observe the front road condition and a perspective screen at the same time without needing to transfer a sight and adjust a sighting distance, and the observation is intuitive and comfort; and while various kinds of information required by driving are obtained in a more timely and convenient manner, the eye fatigue of the driver can be also alleviated, and the driving safety is further improved.

An interactive vehicle safety system having capabilities to improve peripheral vision, provide warning, and improve reaction time for operators of vehicles. For example, the interactive vehicle safety system may have capabilities for portraying objects, which are being blocked by any of the structural pillars and/or mirrors of a vehicle (such as a truck, van, train, etc.). The interactive vehicle safety system disclosed may comprise one or more image capturing devices (such as camera, sensor, laser), distance and object sensors (such as ultrasonic sensor, LIDAR radar sensor, photoelectric sensor, and infrared sensor), a real-time image processing of an object, and one or more display systems (such as LCD or LED displays). The interactive vehicle safety system may give a seamless 360-degree front panoramic view to a driver.

A system and method are provided for aiding an operator in operating a vehicle. In one embodiment, a system includes a sensor system configured to generate sensor data sensed from an environment of the vehicle. The system further includes a control module configured to, by a processor, determine a scene of the environment based on the sensor data, memorize a shape of at least one feature in the scene, modify video data based on the memorized shape, and present the modified video data for display to the operator.

A vehicular camera system includes an attaching structure configured to attach at an in-cabin side of a vehicle windshield. A camera module accommodates a circuit board and an imager and the camera module includes a lens aligned with the imager. The attaching structure includes a camera module receiving portion having an opening at a lower portion of the camera module receiving portion. With the attaching structure attached at the in-cabin side of the vehicle windshield, the camera module is inserted upward through the opening and is at least partially received in the camera module receiving portion to attach the camera module at the camera module receiving portion. With the attaching structure attached at the in-cabin side of the vehicle windshield and with the camera module at least partially received in the camera module receiving portion, the imager views through the vehicle windshield and forward of the vehicle.

An imaging system of the present disclosure includes an event detection sensor that detects an event, and a controller that controls event detection at the event detection sensor. The event detection sensor is provided with a color filter on a per-pixel basis. In addition, the controller controls the event detection in a specific wavelength band based on the color filter. This makes it possible to detect information in various wavelength bands as events.
