An apparatus including an interface and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive first video frames of a first field of view captured by a first capture device and second video frames of a second field of view captured by a second capture device. The first capture device and the second capture device may have a symmetrical orientation with respect to a vehicle. The fields of view may have an overlapping region. The processor may be configured to select the capture devices to operate as a stereo pair of cameras based on the symmetrical orientation, receive the video frames from the interface, detect an object located in the overlapping region, perform a comparison operation on the object based on the symmetrical orientation with respect to the video frames and determine a distance of the object from the vehicle in response to the comparison operation.

In general, techniques are described by which a computing system dynamically and automatically adjusts an orientation of one or more mirrors of a vehicle. A computing system includes at least one processor and memory. The memory includes instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to determine a current orientation of a mirror of a vehicle and determine a preferred orientation of the mirror based upon a set of data points. Execution of the instructions also causes the at least one processor to output a command to adjust the mirror to the preferred orientation in response to determining the current orientation is not the preferred orientation.

A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a dual mode illumination module having a first light emitting diode (LED) operable to emit visible white light when electrically powered and a second LED operable to emit non-visible light when electrically powered. The first LED, when the vehicle is parked and the first LED is electrically powered, emits visible white light to provide visible ground illumination at a ground region at least partially along the side portion of the vehicle. Visible ground illumination by the vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly at the ground region is locked-out during movement of the vehicle. The second LED, when the second LED is electrically powered, emits non-visible light to provide non-visible illumination for a camera viewing exterior and at least sideward of the vehicle. Non-visible light emission by the second LED is not locked-out during movement of the vehicle.

The invention relates to a management method of an assistance system for a windscreen of a cab of a vehicle, the vehicle comprising a camera assembly including at least one camera located on the top of the windscreen with an angle between 25° and 75° with respect to the windscreen, for providing a captured image of a wide angle field of view located in front of the vehicle, said wide angle field of view comprising a first front field of vision, a second field of vision of a front-view and a third rear field of the vision, the method comprising: Determining a state of the windscreen using the at least one camera and Processing the captured image, according to the state of the windscreen, to operate the windscreen system on the windscreen.

In a vehicle driving assistance apparatus, an approach recognizer is configured to recognize whether a vehicle has approached an intersecting road that is a road intersecting a road of travel on which the vehicle is traveling. A road surface recognizer is configured to recognize a road surface in an image of surroundings of the vehicle captured by a camera mounted to the vehicle. An image switcher is configured to, in response to the approach recognizer recognizing that the vehicle has approached the intersecting road, determine whether the road surface recognizer has recognized a road surface of the intersecting road, and in response to the road surface recognizer recognizing the road surface of the intersecting road, switch a display image on a display device mounted to the vehicle, for displaying driving guidance for the vehicle, to an image of the intersecting road captured by the camera.

An exterior camera lens cleaning system for a vehicle may include: a base unit fixed to the vehicle; a housing unit configured to be rotatable with respect to the base unit; a camera unit including a camera module, the camera unit at least partially inserted into the housing unit and configured to move in a longitudinal direction of the housing unit; a wiper disposed on an inside surface of the housing unit so as to face the camera module; and a control unit configured to receive video data through the camera module, to control a rotation operation of the housing unit based on a state of the vehicle, and to control an extension operation of the camera unit. The camera unit may be interlocked with the housing unit, and when the housing unit is rotated by the control unit, the camera unit may be configured to move horizontally in the longitudinal direction of the housing unit.

A vehicle display device provided in a vehicle includes a display 33 and a controller. The controller displays a video showing a side view and a rear view from a vehicle 1 on the display 33 when a passenger gets out of the vehicle 1 while the vehicle 1 is stopped.

A view system (100A, 100B) for a vehicle (1) has an image capture unit (10, 10A, 10B) for capturing image data of a portion around a vehicle (1), an image processing unit (20A, 20B) for processing the captured image data, and an image reproduction unit (30, 30A, 30B) for reproducing the processed image data. Included are an image sensor (11) and an optical element having a distortion curve. The image data are distorted dependent on the position of the image sensor according to the distortion curve. The image processing unit (20A, 20B) is adapted for taking at least one partial portion (12, 12′) from the image data of the image sensor (11), wherein the geometry of the partial portion (12, 12′) is dependent on the position of the partial portion (12, 12′) on the image sensor (11).
