Embodiments include a method for self-rectification of a stereo camera, wherein the stereo camera comprises a first camera and a second camera, the method comprises creating image pairs from a first images taken by the first camera and second images taken by the second camera, respectively, such that each image pair comprises two images taken at essentially the same time by the first camera and the second camera, respectively. The method comprises creating, for each image pair, matching point pairs from corresponding points in the two images of each image pair, such that each matching point pair comprises one point from each of the first and second image of the respective image pair. For each matching point pair, a disparity is calculated and a plurality of disparities is created for each image pair, and the resulting plurality of disparities is taken into account for the self-rectification.

The disclosure relates to a method for determining object information relating to an abject in an environment of a vehicle having a camera. The method includes: capturing the environment with the camera from a first position; changing the position of the camera; capturing the environment with the camera from a second position; determining object information relating to an object by selecting at least one first pixel in the first image and at least one second pixel in the second image, by selecting the first pixel and the second pixel such that they are assigned to the same object point of the object, and determining object coordinates of the assigned object point by triangulation. Changing the position of the camera is brought about by controlling an active actuator system in the vehicle. The actuator system adjusts the camera by an adjustment distance without changing a driving condition of the vehicle.

There is disclosed a viewing system coupled to a motor vehicle having a frame having a roof, at least one support, and a body with the at least one support supporting the roof over the body. The system can comprise at least one camera, at least one screen coupled to the support. In addition each camera is coupled to the at least one support and wherein said at least one screen is in communication with the first set of cameras, wherein said at least one screen displays images presented by the first set of cameras. This device can provide additional view in the blind spot of the vehicle.

A vehicular camera monitoring system includes a pair of rearward viewing cameras disposed at a vehicle with overlapping fields of view. A driver-monitoring camera is disposed at the vehicle. An ECU includes an image processor that processes image data captured by the driver-monitor camera and the rearward viewing cameras. A stereographic video display screen is disposed at the vehicle and viewable by the driver of the vehicle. Responsive to processing of image data captured by the driver-monitoring camera, the ECU determines location of each eye of the driver of the vehicle. Responsive to processing of image data captured by each of the rearward viewing cameras, the stereographic video display screen displays video images derived at least in part from image data captured by both rearward viewing cameras and provides depth perception to the driver of the vehicle viewing the displayed video images.

A system and method for providing adaptive trust calibration in driving automation that include receiving image data of a vehicle and vehicle automation data associated with automated of driving of the vehicle. The system and method also include analyzing the image data and vehicle automation data and determining an eye gaze direction of a driver of the vehicle and a driver reliance upon automation of the vehicle and processing a Markov decision process model based on the eye gaze direction and the driver reliance to model effects of human trust and workload on observable variables to determine a control policy to provide an optimal level of automation transparency. The system and method further include controlling autonomous transparency of at least one driving function of the vehicle based on the control policy.

An information processing device has an obtaining unit, a controller, and a giving unit. The obtaining unit can obtain vehicle information. The controller creates first warning information when the passability of a road in the vehicle information indicates non-passable. The controller creates recovery information when the passability of the road at the same position in the vehicle information indicates passable, after creation of the first warning information. The giving unit gives the recovery information.

A stereo camera adjustment system disposes an adjustment plate that displays an adjustment chart for adjusting deviation of image information caused by position misalignment of the stereo camera at a predetermined position relative to a vehicle mounted with a stereo camera, capture an image of the adjustment chart, and process the captured image of the adjustment chart to correct the deviation of the image information. The stereo camera adjustment system includes a plate movement device that adjusts a disposed state of the adjustment plate relative to the vehicle, a detector that detects an attitude of the vehicle stopped at a defined position, and a controller that controls, based on the detected attitude of the vehicle, the plate movement device to adjust the disposed state of the adjustment plate such that the adjustment plate is at the predetermined position relative to the vehicle.

A protective warning system for a vehicle is provided. A device comprises: a long-range camera and a stereoscopic camera positioned in a housing to image external objects in a rear-facing direction when the housing is mounted to a vehicle. A controller detects, using images from the long-range camera, an external object in the rear-facing direction and process stereoscopic images from the stereoscopic camera to determine when the external object is located with a first zone or a second zone extending in the rear-facing direction, the second zone being closer to the stereoscopic camera than the first zone. In response to determining that the external object is located with the first zone or the second zone, the controller controls the one or more notification devices to provide one or more first or second notifications associated with a first or second urgency level.

An image display system for a work machine including working equipment having a working tool and a turning body to which the working equipment is attached, includes: a position detector detecting at least one of an attitude and a position of the working equipment; a distance detector obtaining information on a distance from the work machine to a work target; and a processing device that generates, by using information on a position of the working tool obtained by the position detector and information on a position of the work target obtained from the information on the distance obtained by the distance detector, a first image including a portion corresponding to a part of the working tool and extending along a turning direction of the turning body, on the work target opposed to the working tool, and displays the first image on the display device.

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.
