A display control device includes: a reception unit that receives an input for designating a first point on a first image, which is displayed on a display screen provided in a vehicle compartment and shows a peripheral environment of a vehicle at a first timing; a display processing unit that displays a first display object at the first point; a specifying unit that specifies a second point at which a first target, which is located at the first point, is located on a second image, which shows the peripheral environment of the vehicle at a second timing after the first timing; and an update unit that displays, along with the second image, the first display object at the second point on the second image.

An imaging unit includes a plurality of imaging devices configured to capture images of an object; a circuit substrate configured to generate image data based on the images captured by the imaging devices; a chassis that holds the imaging devices; and a heat transfer member including a contacting portion configured to contact an installed member in a case where the imaging unit is installed on the installed member. The heat transfer member contacts the chassis or the circuit substrate, and heat conductivity of the heat transfer member is greater than the heat conductivity of the chassis.

A parking assistance apparatus includes a first sensor configured to sense a first environment corresponding to a first distance around a vehicle; a second sensor configured to sense a second environment corresponding to a second distance around the vehicle that is greater than the first distance; and a display configured to display a graphic image. The parking assistance apparatus also includes at least one processor configured to: acquire first information regarding the first environment around the vehicle and second information regarding the second environment around the vehicle; detect an available parking space based on the first information and based on the second information; and based on an available parking space being detected outside of the first environment, control the display to display information regarding the available parking space.

A photographing device includes a first image sensor, a first filter area, a second image sensor, a first distance calculating unit, and a second distance calculating unit. The first image sensor includes a first sensor receiving light of a first wavelength band and outputting a target image, and a second sensor receiving light of a second wavelength band and outputting a reference image. The first filter area transmits a first light of a third wavelength band, which includes at least part of the first wavelength band, the first light being a part of light incident on the first image sensor. The second image sensor outputs a first image. The first distance calculating unit calculates a first distance to an object captured in the target image and the reference image. The second distance calculating unit calculates a second distance to an object captured in the reference image and the first image.

A vehicle control system includes a vehicle-mounted imaging section configured to image surroundings of a vehicle, a vehicle-mounted imaging assist section configured to assist so as to increase the clarity of an imaging region of the imaging section, a recognition section configured to recognize surrounding conditions of the vehicle based on an image captured by the imaging section, an automated driving controller configured to execute automated driving in which at least one out of speed control or steering control is controlled automatically based on the surrounding conditions of the vehicle recognized by the recognition section, and an assist controller configured to adjust an operation of the imaging assist section when the automated driving is being implemented by the automated driving controller.

A driving consciousness estimation device includes a driving readiness estimation unit configured to estimate a driving readiness relating to a driving consciousness of the driver from a driver's reaction to the travelling environment, a driving task demand estimation unit configured to estimate a driving task demand which is an index required for the driver with respect to the driving readiness from the travelling environment, and an attention awakening unit configured to execute awakening of attention for the driver relating to the driving of the vehicle based on the result of comparison between the driving readiness and the driving task demand.

A vehicle control system includes an automated driving controller configured to execute automated driving of a vehicle by automatically performing at least one of speed control and steering control of the vehicle, an operation reception section configured to receive an operation to switch a shift position of the vehicle, and an operation controller configured to limit reception, by the operation reception section, of the operation to switch the shift position while the automated driving is being executed by the automated driving controller.

Provided is a vehicle display device configured to be mounted on a vehicle. The vehicle display device includes a curve detection unit, a road state categorization unit, and a display unit. The curve detection unit detects a curve that is included in a target traveling line and has a curvature. The road state categorization unit categorizes a state of the road on which the target traveling line including the curve is set, in one class out of a plurality of classes, according to possibility of presence of the curve having the curvature of a predetermined value or more. The display unit displays a representation that indicates the curvature of the curve. The curvature corresponds to the class in which the state of the road has been categorized.

A hand of a user may be detected in free space, where a plurality of surface points are determined and include a center area surface point and at least two surface points of the plurality of surface points located on a periphery of the surface of the hand. A curve extending through the plurality of surface points may be determined based on a position of a curvature. The plurality of surface points are processed to determine if the plurality of surface points of the detected hand are arranged in at least one of a substantially concave area relative to the sensor, and/or a substantially convex area relative to the sensor. The detected hand may be identified as a palm or back of the hand based on the processing of the plurality of surface points.

A data structure of an environment map includes: position information indicating a position in a space; and a state quantity variability of the position. The state quantity variability is correlated with the position information, and the state quantity variability indicates a variation tendency of a state quantity of the position with respect to time.
