Systems and methods for generating a virtual view of a virtual camera based on an input image are described. A system for generating a virtual view of a virtual camera based on an input image can include a capturing device including a physical camera and a depth sensor. The system also includes a controller configured to determine an actual pose of the capturing device; determine a desired pose of the virtual camera for showing the virtual view; define an epipolar geometry between the actual pose of the capturing device and the desired pose of the virtual camera; and generate a virtual image depicting objects within the input image according to the desired pose of the virtual camera for the virtual camera based on an epipolar relation between the actual pose of the capturing device, the input image, and the desired pose of the virtual camera.

A control section generates an overhead surround view composite image by combining image data acquired by plural cameras, and, combines the image data to generate a wide-range rear image, a left rear image, a right rear image, a front image and a rear image. The control section calculates angles of view of the image data that were used in generating the wide-range rear image, the left rear image, the right rear image, the front image and the rear image, respectively. The control section displays any of the wide-range rear image, the left rear image, the right rear image, the front image and the rear image in a first display region, and displays information expressing angles of view corresponding to images displayed in the first display region in a second display region in a manner of being superimposed on the overhead surround view composite image.

A vehicle surrounding monitor apparatus comprises a camera which takes images of a view around an own vehicle. The vehicle surrounding monitor apparatus stores the images of the view around the own vehicle taken by the camera, produces a current image under a floor of the own vehicle as an underfloor image by using the stored images, and displays the produced underfloor image on a display. The vehicle surrounding monitor apparatus terminates displaying the underfloor image on the display when time for which the own vehicle has stopped reaches a predetermined first time.

A method for displaying an environment of a vehicle on a display includes: recording the environment with at least two cameras, each having a different field of view, wherein fields of view of adjacent cameras overlap; creating a panoramic image from at least two images taken by differing cameras, the images being projected into a reference plane for creating the panoramic image; ascertaining depth information pertaining to an object in the environment by triangulation from at least two differing individual images taken by the same camera; and generating an overlay structure as a function of the ascertained depth information, the overlay structure having been uniquely assigned to an imaged object; and, representing the created panoramic image, containing the at least one object, and the at least one generated overlay structure on the display such that the overlay structure is displayed on, and/or adjacent to, the assigned object.

A method, performed by an electronic device installed in a vehicle, of switching a view of an image displayed on a camera monitoring system (CMS) side display, and an electronic device are provided. The disclosure includes an electronic device for displaying, on a camera monitoring system (CMS) side display, a first image representing a surrounding environment image, detecting a lane change signal of the vehicle, and, in response to the detected lane change signal, switching the first image displayed on the CMS side display to a second image representing a top view image showing locations of the vehicle and a surrounding vehicle in a virtual image as looking down from above the vehicle, and displaying the second image, and displaying a lane change user interface (UI) indicating information about whether a lane change is possible on the second image, and an operation method thereof.

Maneuver assisting system and method are provided. The system includes at least one processor configured to process operations of the system; one or more memories for storing instructions; a communication unit for communicating between components of the system, and between the system and the vehicle and/or a user equipment; a Surrounding View Monitoring (SVM) unit comprising a plurality of sensors for providing a plurality of vehicle-related information; a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) configured for a driver of the vehicle to interact with the system; a display unit configured to display the HMI; a motion planning unit configured to generate a trajectory for the vehicle to follow; and a motion control unit configured to control the automated maneuvers of the vehicle. In particular, the HMI is configured to be implemented in the user equipment in order for the driver to remotely operate the system using the user equipment.

A work vehicle display system utilized in piloting a work vehicle includes a display device having a display screen, a context camera mounted to the work vehicle and positioned to capture a context camera feed of the work vehicle's exterior environment, and a controller architecture. The controller architecture is configured to: (i) receive the context camera feed from the context camera; (ii) generate a visually-manipulated context view utilizing the context camera feed; and (iii) output the visually-manipulated context view to the display device for presentation on the display screen. In the process of generating the visually-manipulated context view, the controller architecture applies a dynamic distortion-perspective (D/P) modification effect to the context camera feed, while gradually adjusting a parameter of the dynamic D/P modification effect in response to changes in operator viewing preferences or in response to changes in a current operating condition of the work vehicle.
