A blind spot warning method is disclosed for a tow vehicle. The method includes determining whether a trailer is connected to the tow vehicle. Based on the determination whether the trailer is connected to the tow vehicle, the determines whether a blind spot zone corresponds to the tow vehicle or to the tow vehicle and the trailer. At least one instruction is sent to a user interface of the tow vehicle for displaying an image for viewing by a driver of the tow vehicle. The displayed image indicates the determination whether the blind spot zone corresponds to the tow vehicle or to the tow vehicle and the trailer, and indicates a presence or absence of at least one other vehicle disposed in the blind spot zone.

An imaging apparatus is disclosed. The imaging apparatus includes an imaging element and an optical system. On the imaging element, a plurality of pixels is arranged in a two-dimensional manner. The imaging element generates image data on the basis of output of the plurality of pixels. The optical system forms, on an imaging plane of the imaging element, an image of light from a field at a magnification factor varying with a field angle. An optical axis of the optical system on the imaging plane is positioned away from a center of the imaging plane.

A vehicle can include a window including an interior side and an exterior side. The vehicle can include a camera located on an exterior of the vehicle. The camera can be operatively positioned to capture visual data of a blind spot of an external environment of the vehicle. The vehicle can include a dual-sided transparent display forming at least a portion of the window. The vehicle can include a processor operatively connected to the camera and the dual-sided transparent display. The processor can be configured to selectively cause the dual-sided transparent display to display exterior visual information on the exterior side. The processor can be configured to selectively cause the dual-sided transparent to display interior visual information on the interior side. The interior visual information can include the visual data of the blind spot of the vehicle.

A monitoring device and a vehicle having the same. The monitoring device includes a camera configured to obtain an image; a display configured to display the image; a tilting adjustor configured to adjust a tilting angle of the camera; and a controller configured to recognize a brightness of a first image displayed on the display and control the tilting adjustor to adjust the tilting angle of the camera in response to determining that the recognized brightness is greater than or equal to a reference value, and after adjusting the tilting angle of the camera, control the tilting adjustor to adjust the tilting angle of the camera to an initial tilting angle in response to determining that a brightness of a second image displayed the display is less than or equal to a release value.

An imaging device includes a plurality of pixels that receives incident light entering from an object after passing through neither an imaging lens nor a pinhole, and each outputs a detection signal indicating an output pixel value modulated in accordance with an incident angle of the incident light. The imaging device is attached to a vehicle so that a light receiving surface faces a side of the vehicle, and the average of the centroids of incident angle directivities indicating directivities of the plurality of pixels with respect to the incident angle of the incident light deviates in one direction from the center of the pixel. The present technology can be applied to an electronic sideview mirror, for example.

A system including a camera mounted on the front section of a vehicle, wherein the camera is configured to be operable for capturing video feeds of the vehicle's proximately 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock position; a display that is configured to view the camera's video feed; a power source that is configured to provide power to the camera and/or display device; and a transmitter for transmitting the camera's video feed to the display.
