The invention relates to a method for adapting to a driver position an image displayed on a monitor in a cab of the vehicle. The invention also relates to a system for adapting to a driver position an image displayed on a monitor in a cab of the vehicle. The invention further relates to a vehicle comprising such a system.

An apparatus includes a visual display to be viewed by a vehicle occupant. At least one drone includes a camera. A controller is configured to receive images from the camera on the at least one drone and generate an overhead view of the vehicle based on the images received from the at least one drone and display the overhead view on the visual display.

A vehicular trailer hitching assist system includes a rear backup camera disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle and a control disposed in the vehicle. A display device includes a video display screen operable to display video images for viewing by a driver of the vehicle. During a hitching maneuver event undertaken by the driver to hitch a trailer hitch of the vehicle to a trailer tongue of a trailer, and while the driver of the vehicle is maneuvering the vehicle to hitch the vehicle to the trailer, the control outputs video images derived from image data captured by the rear backup camera for display by the video display screen. At least one overlay overlays the displayed video images to guide the driver during the hitching maneuver. The at least one overlay aids in guiding connection of the trailer hitch of the vehicle to the trailer tongue of the trailer.

A vehicular vision system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and operable to capture multiple frames of image data during a driving maneuver of the vehicle. A control includes an image processor that processes frames of captured image data to determine feature points in an image frame when the vehicle is operated within a first range of steering angles, and to determine motion trajectories of those feature points in subsequent image frames for the respective range of steering angles. The control determines a horizon line based on the determined motion trajectories. Responsive to determination that the determined horizon line is non-parallel to the horizontal axis of the image plane, at least one of pitch, roll or yaw of the camera is adjusted. Image data captured by the camera is processed at the control for object detection.

For driver assistance for a combination (8) with a motor vehicle (9) and a trailer (10), a first camera image (19) and a second camera image (20) are generated. A combined image (21) is generated by means of a computing unit (13) by superimposing the camera images (19, 20) such that the second camera image (20) covers a subsection of the first camera image (19), wherein a hitch angle (14) of the combination (8) is determined by means of the computing unit (13). State data of the combination (8) are determined by means of a sensor system (17) and it is determined whether the combination (8) moves forward or backward. The hitch angle (14) is determined based on the state data, if the combination (8) moves forward and based on a change of time-dependent image data, if the combination moves backward. A position of the subsection is determined depending on the hitch angle (14).

Method and control unit for reducing a blind spot created by a field of view adjustment of a vehicle comprised presentational device intended to display objects outside a driver's direct field of vision. The method comprises: detecting the blind spot of the presentational device, based on signals received from at least one first sensor associated with the presentational device; adjusting at least one second sensor, not associated with the presentational device, in order to cover at least a part of the detected blind spot; and outputting information captured by the adjusted at least one second sensor.

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 parking assistance device includes an imager that captures an image of a surrounding of a vehicle, and a display that displays a guidance image for guiding the vehicle from a parking start position to a target parking position and displays a moving area in which the vehicle can move during a parking operation. An area and dimension of the moving area displayed on the display changes based on a change in a steering angle of the vehicle.

Disclosed is an inner rear-view mirror system for an automobile with cameras, which comprises a rotatable single-axle shooting device (1) of a license plate frame and a rotatable shooting device (2) with a triangular connecting rod on the top. The rotatable single-axle shooting device (1) of the license plate frame comprises a first camera (10). The rotatable single-axle shooting device (1) of the license plate frame is used for rotating about an edge of the license plate frame (4) as a rotation axis, so that the first camera (10) is driven to turn and protrude out of the spatial position of the license plate frame (4). The rotatable shooting device (2) with a triangular connecting rod on the top comprises four second cameras (20). The rotatable shooting device (2) with a triangular connecting rod on the top is used for driving the four second cameras (20) to horizontally move simultaneously along the front and back direction or the left and right direction of the vehicle. A rotatable single-axle shooting device (3) on the top comprises a third camera (30) and a rotary handle (31). The rotatable single-axle shooting device (3) of the roof is used for driving the third camera (30) to move along a circular path with the length of the rotary handle (31) as the radius. The above-mentioned inner rear-view mirror system for an automobile with cameras solves the technical problems, such as the blind angle present during shooting with a traditional inner rear-view mirror system for an automobile with cameras.

A vision system for a motor vehicle and a method for providing information to a driver of a motor vehicle, where the system includes at least one video camera, including a lens, adapted and configured to be mounted on a side of the vehicle with the lens facing forward, the lens having an angle of view that provides a field of view for allowing capture, simultaneously, of images of a view alongside the vehicle and of at least part of the side of the vehicle from the rear towards the front of the vehicle, and a processor coupled to the at least one video camera, the processor adapted and configured to process the captured images and provide processed images for display on a monitor and/or vehicle orientation information to a computerized vehicle operation system.
