Devices, systems and methods for operating a rear-facing perception system for vehicles are described. An exemplary rear-facing perception system contains two corner units and a center unit, with each of the two corner units and the center unit including a camera module and a dual-band transceiver. A method for operating the rear-facing perception system includes pairing with a control unit by communicating, using the dual-band transceiver, over at least a first frequency band, transmitting a first trigger signal to the two corner units over a second frequency band non-overlapping with the first frequency band, and switching to an active mode. In an example, the first trigger signal causes the two corner units to switch to the active mode, which includes orienting the camera modules on the center unit and the two corner units to provide an unobstructed view of an area around a rear of the vehicle.

A collision avoidance and/or pedestrian detection system for a large passenger vehicle such as commuter bus, which includes one or more exterior and/or interior sensing devices positioned strategically around the exterior and interior of the vehicle for recording data, method for avoiding collisions and/or detecting pedestrians, and features/articles of manufacture for improving same, is described herein in various embodiments. The sensing devices may be responsive to one or more situational sensors, and may be connected to one or more interior and/or exterior warning systems configured to alert a driver inside the vehicle and/or a pedestrian outside the vehicle that a collision may be possible and/or imminent based on a path of the vehicle and/or a position of the pedestrian as detected by one or more sensing devices and/or situational sensors.

A vehicle includes a driver sensor provided inside the vehicle and configured to obtain a face image of a driver; a side camera configured to obtain images of a rear left side and a rear right side of the vehicle; a display configured to output the images of the rear left side and the rear right side of the vehicle; and a controller electrically connected to the driver sensor, the side camera, and the display; wherein the controller is configured to identify a gaze direction of the driver based on the face image of the driver, and adjust at least one of a frame rate of the side camera or a screen brightness of the display based on the gaze direction of the driver.

A collision avoidance and/or pedestrian detection system for a large passenger vehicle such as commuter bus, which includes one or more exterior and/or interior sensing devices positioned strategically around the exterior and interior of the vehicle for recording data, method for avoiding collisions and/or detecting pedestrians, and features/articles of manufacture for improving same, is described herein in various embodiments. The sensing devices may be responsive to one or more situational sensors, and may be connected to one or more interior and/or exterior warning systems configured to alert a driver inside the vehicle and/or a pedestrian outside the vehicle that a collision may be possible and/or imminent based on a path of the vehicle and/or a position of the pedestrian as detected by one or more sensing devices and/or situational sensors.

A system including a camera mounted on the front section of a vehicle, wherein the camera is configured to be operable for capturing video feeds of the vehicle's proximately 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock position; a display that is configured to view the camera's video feed; a power source that is configured to provide power to the camera and/or display device; and a transmitter for transmitting the camera's video feed to the display.

An apparatus including a capture device and one or more sensors. The capture device may be configured to operate in a standby mode of operation until a wakeup signal is received and operate in video capture mode of operation in response to the wakeup signal. The sensors may each be configured to detect a trigger condition and communicate the wakeup signal in response to detecting the trigger condition. The capture device may be configured to consume a first amount of power in the standby mode of operation and a second amount of power in the video capture mode of operation. The first amount of power may be less than the second amount of power. The capture device may be configured to generate pixel data in the video capture mode of operation. Each of the sensors may be remotely located on a vehicle with respect to the capture device.

Improved safety device for vehicles, including at least one video camera, with possible zoom and tilt function that can be installed in one or more portions of the external surface of a vehicle, oriented so that its lens is facing in the opposite direction to that of the vehicle, or in the same direction in case of reverse, during which the possible tilt and zoom function is activated; at least one processing unit, to which the camera is operatively connected, which sends images selectively and at the request of the driver to a display of the vehicle, operationally connected to the processing unit by means of wiring or wireless connections; a control, operationally connected to the processing unit, operable by the driver and able to selectively activate the camera, and therefore the rear view function on the display.

A camera system is installed on the front end of a vehicle, either on the left front, the right front, or both sides. The camera is linked via wired or wireless connection to an onboard computer and a navigation display that is located within the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The driver reviews a visual description on the display of any oncoming traffic in the form of motor vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, animals and the like on the navigation display via a single screen, split screen or alternating screens. The camera system can include a speed sensor that detects when the vehicle reaches a threshold speed to activate or de-activate the camera. Alternatively, the computer can activate the system when a turn signal is activated, and de-activate the system when the turn signal is no longer activated. This camera system can be retrofitted into older vehicles.

The present disclosure relates to a video recording apparatus and a controlling method thereof. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a video recording apparatus may include a motion detection sensor, a controller, and an application processor. The motion detection sensor may sense motion of an external object outside of a vehicle. The controller may be activated if the motion detection sensor senses motion of the external object and may monitor the external object through the motion detection sensor during a predetermined time period. An image processor may be activated based on a monitoring result of the external object so as to perform a video recording function.

A work screen display system including a position information obtaining unit for obtaining position information on a work vehicle based on positioning correction information supplied from a first reference station; a region shape determination unit for determining a shape of a specific region where the work vehicle performs autonomous travel, based on positioning correction information supplied from a second reference station; and a display control unit for displaying, on a display unit, a specific region indication section indicating the specific region determined by the region shape determination unit. The display control unit displays the specific region indication section in a display mode that varies between a case where the first and second reference stations are identical and a case where the first and second reference stations are not identical.
