A vehicle surrounding monitor apparatus comprises a camera which takes images of a view around an own vehicle. The vehicle surrounding monitor apparatus stores the images of the view around the own vehicle taken by the camera, produces a current image under a floor of the own vehicle as an underfloor image by using the stored images, and displays the produced underfloor image on a display. The vehicle surrounding monitor apparatus terminates displaying the underfloor image on the display when time for which the own vehicle has stopped reaches a predetermined first time.

A vision display system for a vehicle includes a rear backup camera, a driver side camera, a passenger side camera, a front camera, and a display system including a video display screen. Rear backup video images derived from image data captured by the rear backup camera may be displayed by the video display screen for no more than ten seconds after shifting of the vehicle transmission of the vehicle out of reverse gear. Upon the engine of the vehicle being first started after initial ignition on of the vehicle, priority may be given to display by the video display screen of rear backup video images. Within two seconds after shifting of the vehicle transmission of the vehicle into reverse gear, rear backup video images may be displayed by the video display screen.

A system for navigating a vehicle automatically from a current location to a destination location without a human operator is provided. The system of the vehicle includes a global positioning system (GPS) for identifying a vehicle location and a communications system for communicating with a server of a cloud system. The server is configured to identify that the vehicle location is near or at a parking location. The communications system is configured to receive mapping data for the parking location from the server, and the mapping data is at least in part used to find a path at the parking location to avoid a collision of the vehicle with at least one physical object when the vehicle is automatically moved at the parking location. The mapping data is processed by electronics of the vehicle so that when the vehicle is automatically moved collision with the at least one physical object is avoided and the electronics of the vehicle is configured to process a combination of sensor data obtained by sensors of the vehicle. The processing of the sensor data uses image data obtained from one or more cameras and light data obtained from one or more optical sensors.

A motor vehicle includes a rearview mirror display system with a visible surface and having a mirror mode and a display mode. The visible surface functions as a mirror in the mirror mode. The visible surface displays an electronically produced image in the display mode. An electronic processor is communicatively coupled to the rearview mirror display system. The electronic processor detects that the display mode is not operating properly, and, in response to the detecting, automatically switches the rearview mirror display system from the display mode to the mirror mode.

A vehicular rear backup system includes a rear backup digital camera disposed at a vehicle and a display device having a video display screen disposed in an interior cabin of the vehicle and viewable by the driver of the vehicle. Rear backup video images that are derived from image data captured by the rear backup digital camera are displayed on the video display screen no later than two seconds after the driver of the vehicle first changes propulsion of the vehicle during a new ignition cycle to reverse mode to commence a first backup event. Until the first backup event is completed, the video display screen displays rear backup video images. During a backup event of the vehicle, image data captured by the rear backup digital camera is provided to and is processed by an image processor of the system to detect presence of an object rearward of the vehicle.

A view system for a vehicle (1) with a tractor (2) and a trailer (3). The view system has a capture unit (10) with an image sensor (12) for capturing image data of an area of view, around the vehicle, a processing unit (20) for processing the image data, and a reproduction unit (30) for reproducing at least one first image section (410) and one second image section (420) of the area of view (40) captured by the capture unit (10). The processing unit provides different resolutions of image data depending on the position of the tractor with respect to the trailer.

A dynamic imaging system is disclosed. The dynamic imaging system may comprise one or more imager, one or more input device, a controller, and/or a display. Each imager may be operable to capture a video stream having a field of view. In some embodiments, the controller may articulate the imager or crop the field of view to change the field of view in response to signals from the one or more input devices. For example, the signal may relate to the vehicle's speed. In other embodiments, the controller may apply a warp to the field of view. The warp may be applied in response to signals from the one or more input devices. In yet other embodiments, video streams from one or more imagers may be stitched together by the controller. Further, the controller may likewise move the stitch line in response to signals from the or more input devices.

Provided is an input unit to which input signals are inputted, the input signals including signals indicating operating states of switches used for operating the electronic mirror and used for selecting a display mode from among the plurality of display modes to be displayed by the electronic mirror; a storage unit that together with prioritizing and storing each of a plurality of display modes in a hierarchical structure, stores mode setting conditions that are conditions for setting each display mode; a determination unit for determining whether or not the mode setting conditions are satisfied for each of the plurality of display modes based on the input signals; and a setting unit that, of the plurality of display modes, sets a display mode from among the display modes for which the mode setting conditions are satisfied, as a display mode to be displayed on the electronic mirror.

A vehicle camera system includes: an around view camera device including a front camera, a left camera, a right camera, and a rear camera, and configured to vary a field of view of one or more of the cameras in response to a control signal; and a control device configured to control the field of view by generating the control signal, in response to an operating mode.

A system for displaying vehicle driving information may include: first and second image acquisition devices configured to capture an image of a first side on which a driver seat is located and an image of a second side which is the opposite side of the first side, respectively; first and second display devices configured to display the captured images of the first and second image acquisition devices, respectively; first and second BSD devices and configured to sense side-rear vehicle information; and a control device configured to recognize the location and vehicle distance of the side-rear vehicle by analyzing the side-rear vehicle information detected by the first and second BSD devices, determine whether to issue a BSD warning, and control BSD warning icons of the ego vehicle and the side-rear vehicle to be displayed as an OSD of the images displayed on the first and second display devices.
