A cold planer can include a frame; an operator station coupled to the frame and including a monitor; a cutting rotor coupled to the frame, the cutting rotor configured to be lowered a selected distance into a surface to define a depth of cut; a conveyor to receive material from the cutting rotor; and a cutting rotor location indication system including: a camera coupled to the frame and oriented to show an area on a side of the frame; and a visual indicator system configured to receive a first image from the camera and display on the monitor a visual image of a location of a leading edge and a trailing edge of the cutting rotor relative to the surface.

A debris accumulation control system is provided for usage within a work vehicle including an operator station and a work vehicle compartment. In embodiments, the work vehicle debris accumulation control system includes a display device located in the operator station of the work vehicle, a three dimensional (3D) imaging device having a field of view (FOV) encompassing a debris-gathering region of the work vehicle compartment, and a controller operably coupled to the display device and to the 3D imaging device. The controller is configured to: (i) utilize 3D imaging data provided by the 3D imaging device to estimate a debris accumulation risk level within the work vehicle compartment; and (ii) generate a first visual alert on the display device when the debris accumulation risk level surpasses a first predetermined threshold.

A device and a method for controlling an operation of a side and rear view watching camera monitoring system (CMS) are provided. The device for controlling an operation of a side and rear watching CMS includes a camera that is configured to capture side and rear images of a vehicle and a display that is configured to display the images captured by the camera. A controller is configured to determine an image-off signal of a user and turn the images of the display off when the image-off signal is applied and a certain period of time elapses. The controller receives the image-off signal of the user, maintains the display in an ON state for a preset time, and turns electric power of the display off.

A safety confirmation support system includes: a moving object detector which detects a moving object in each of detection regions set around the vehicle; display units each associated with a different one of the detection regions; a line-of-sight detector which detects a line of sight of the driver; and a display controller which controls the display units based on detection results from the moving object detector and the line-of-sight detector. When the moving object is detected in a specified detection region, the display controller (i) displays moving object information on a specified display unit associated with the specified detection region when the line of sight is away from the specified detection region, and (ii) stops display of the moving object information on the specified display unit when the line of sight is towards the specified detection region while the moving object information is displayed on the specified display unit.

Method and apparatus are disclosed for vehicle-rendering generation for vehicle display based on short-range communication. An example vehicle includes a communication module configured to wirelessly communicate with remote sensing devices, a display configured to present a vehicle rendering of the vehicle, and a controller. The controller is configured to, in response to detecting an activation event, collect sensing data via the communication module. The controller also is configured to determine whether an object is coupled to the vehicle based on the sensing data and, in response to detecting an object coupled to the vehicle, modify the vehicle rendering to include an object rendering of the object.

An apparatus including an interface and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive video frames generated by a plurality of capture devices. The processor may be configured to perform operations to detect objects in the video frames received from a first of the capture devices, determine depth information corresponding to the objects detected, determine blending lines in response to the depth information, perform video stitching operations on the video frames from the capture devices based on the blending lines and generate panoramic video frames in response to the video stitching operations. The blending lines may correspond to gaps in a field of view of the panoramic video frames. The blending lines may be determined to prevent the objects from being in the gaps in the field of view. The panoramic video frames may be generated to fit a size of a display.

This disclosure relates to vehicle exterior imaging systems that capture and display views of the exterior environment to vehicle operators. An exemplary vehicle exterior imaging system may include a glass panel including a combiner positioned between a first layer of glass and a second layer of glass, a first exterior side-view imager assembly configured to capture images of a vehicle exterior environment, and a projector assembly configured to project an output image onto the glass panel. The output image is based on the images captured by the first exterior side-view imager assembly. The glass panel may be part of either a windshield or a door window, and the projector assembly may be mounted either outside or inside of a housing of the first exterior side-view imager assembly.

A vehicle arm assembly includes a carrier base for attaching to a vehicle. A support arm is rotatably mounted relative to the carrier base. A first detent ring includes a plurality of first detent projections circumferentially offset by a plurality of first detent channels. A second detent ring includes a plurality of second detent projections circumferentially offset by a plurality of second detent channels. The first detent ring is fixed relative to one of the carrier base or the support arm. The second detent ring is fixed relative to the other of the carrier base or the support ring. The first detent ring is in an intermeshing arrangement when the second detent ring in a first rotational position and in a non-intermeshing arrangement when in a second rotational position. In the second rotational position a first stop surface fixed relative to the carrier base is in engagement with a stop fixed relative to the support arm.
