A method for providing one or more of a rear or a side view of a vehicle includes generating a video stream of images subsequently captured by at least one camera of the vehicle or of a virtual mirror device of the vehicle, processing the generated video stream, and displaying the generated video stream on at least one screen of a display unit of the vehicle or of the virtual mirror device.

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.

Superimposed-image display devices and programs display a guide image providing a guidance of information to a driver of a vehicle such that the guide image is superimposed on a view ahead of the vehicle and is visually recognized. The systems and programs obtain three-dimensional map information that specifies a three-dimensional shape of a road and a structure nearby the road and arrange the guide image in the three-dimensional map information, based on the three-dimensional shape of the road and the structure nearby the road. The systems and programs obtain a shape of the guide image that is visually recognized from a position of the driver in the three-dimensional map information and display the guide image having the obtained shape.

A display system of the present disclosure forms an AR route by shifting node information included in road map data to a lane on which a subject vehicle is to travel on the basis of lane information. Thus, it is possible to display the AR route which matches a shape of a route on which the subject vehicle is to travel without providing a feeling of strangeness while resolving inconvenience that the AR route is largely displaced from the route on which the subject vehicle is to travel at positions such as an intersection and a branch point, where a plurality of roads intersect.

An information distribution system obtains event information such as image data about an event in the past or future using a collection server or a creation server, and stores the obtained event information in a storage server. The event information such as the image data is obtained with association to a location of the event and stored. The vehicle includes an image display system. An occupant wears a wearable device which is a display unit. When the location of an event is within the field of view of the occupant, the event image is displayed through the wearable device based on the event information such as the image data.

A vehicle and a method for controlling the vehicle are provided. The vehicle includes a first camera configured to capture a front image of the vehicle; a head-up display configured to project an image onto a windshield of the vehicle; an input device configured to input a boundary line for setting an area in which the image is projected from the windshield; and a controller configured to determine a projection area in which the image is projected based on the inputted boundary line, to determine an interest area of the front image based on the determined projection area and a speed of the vehicle, and to display the determined interest area in the determined projection area on the head-up display.

Disclosed is a mobile terminal that provides an augmented reality navigation screen in a state of being hold in a vehicle, the mobile terminal including: at least one camera configured to obtain a front image; a display; and at least one processor configured to calibrate the front image, and to drive an augmented reality navigation application so that the augmented reality navigation screen including at least one augmented reality (AR) graphic object and the calibrated front image is displayed on the display.

A vehicle of the disclosure includes an apparatus for assisting driving of a host vehicle. The apparatus for assisting driving of the host vehicle includes a display configured to display vehicle driving information; an image obtainer configured to obtain an image of a road; a distance detector configured to detect surrounding objects; and a controller configured to calculate notification information based on the obtained image information of the road, the detected surrounding objects, and the vehicle driving information, and to display the calculated notification information to a driver in real time.

An image acquisition unit acquires camera images obtained by cameras, which are configured to photograph a periphery of the vehicle. An image synthesizing unit projects data of the camera images on a virtual projection surface, which corresponds to the periphery of the vehicle, and forms a synthetic image showing the periphery of the vehicle, which is viewed from a virtual view point, by using the data projected on the projection surface. A travelling-environment determination unit determines whether a travelling environment of the vehicle is an off-road or an on-road based on a signal from an other on-board device of the vehicle. The image synthesizing unit is configured to change a shape of the projection surface, which is for forming the synthetic image, according to whether the travelling-environment determination unit determines that the travelling environment is an off-road.

A vehicle image processing device includes a camera that images surroundings of a vehicle and outputs video data. An image extraction unit extracts an image from the video data when a predetermined operation for instructing image acquisition is performed, and an image processing unit processes the extracted image in accordance with a field of view of the user in a vehicle interior. A display processing unit and a display device display the processed image on a screen arranged at a position aligned with a line of sight of the user.
