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.

Disclosed are an apparatus and method for displaying a rear image of a vehicle. The apparatus for displaying a rear image of a vehicle includes a rear camera configured to capture a rear image of the vehicle, a steering angle sensor configured to sense a steering angle of a steering wheel, a display unit, and an image processing unit configured to convert the rear image captured by the rear camera when the vehicle moves backward into an image in a direction where the vehicle is to move backward according to the steering angle of the steering wheel that is sensed by the steering angle sensor, and display the converted image in the direction where the vehicle is to move backward through the display unit.

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 rear view system for a vehicle includes: a transmitter configured to transmit a transmitter signal; a receiver configured to receive the transmitter signal and transmit information on whether the transmitter signal is received; a rear camera configured to capture a rear view of the vehicle, and transmit an image for the captured rear view of the vehicle; one or more displays mounted within the vehicle; and a controller configured to receive an image for a rear view of the vehicle from the rear camera in response to the reception of information indicating that the transmitter signal is not received from the receiver, and display the received image for the rear view of the vehicle on the one or more displays.

A method, performed by an electronic device installed in a vehicle, of switching a view of an image displayed on a camera monitoring system (CMS) side display, and an electronic device are provided. The disclosure includes an electronic device for displaying, on a camera monitoring system (CMS) side display, a first image representing a surrounding environment image, detecting a lane change signal of the vehicle, and, in response to the detected lane change signal, switching the first image displayed on the CMS side display to a second image representing a top view image showing locations of the vehicle and a surrounding vehicle in a virtual image as looking down from above the vehicle, and displaying the second image, and displaying a lane change user interface (UI) indicating information about whether a lane change is possible on the second image, and an operation method thereof.

The present disclosure relates to a display system (1) for generating a composite view of a region behind a vehicle (V) towing a trailer (T). A first camera (C1) is provided for outputting first image data corresponding to a first image (IMG1), the first camera (C1) being configured to be mounted in a rear-facing orientation to the vehicle (V). A second camera (C2) is provided for outputting second image data corresponding to a second image (IMG2), the second camera (C2) being configured to be mounted in a rear-facing orientation to the trailer (T). An image processor (5) receives the first image data and said second image data. The image processor (5) is configured to combine said first image data and said second image data to generate composite image data corresponding to a composite image (IMG3). The present disclosure also relates to a corresponding method of generating a composite image (IMG3), and to a rig made up of a vehicle (V) and a trailer (T).

A system of rear view assemblies for a vehicle includes at least one first rear view assembly mounted to a driver side of the vehicle to observe traffic conditions behind the driver side, at least one second rear view assembly mounted on a passenger side of the vehicle to observe traffic conditions behind the passenger side, and a vision system. A vehicle including such a system is also described.

A method of assisting a driver of a vehicle with visualization of an ambient environment comprises generating a mirror image signal corresponding to a field of view of a traditional driving mirror. A surround image signal corresponding to a field of view of an ambient environment adjacent the vehicle is generated. A vehicle speed signal is generated. The mirror image signal, the surround image signal, and the vehicle speed signal are received, and at least one of a driver mirror signal and a driver surround signal is responsively produced. A video image corresponding to at least one of the driver mirror signal and the driver surround signal is selectively displayed to the driver. A frame rate of at least one of the mirror image signal and the surround image signal is adjusted by the signal processor responsive to the vehicle speed signal. A drive assist system is also provided.

A rearview display system is provided for a vehicle having: a rear camera generating a rearward video stream, a right-side camera generating a right-side stream, and a left-side camera generating a left-side stream. The system includes a processing circuit for generating a composite video stream from: (a) the rearward stream and the right-side stream, (b) the rearward stream and the left-side stream, and (c) at least the rearward stream. When the composite stream is formed from the rearward stream and the right-side stream, the rearward stream extends across the whole composite stream with the exception of a right corner where the right-side stream is superimposed over the rearward stream. When the composite stream is formed from the rearward stream and the left-side stream, the rearward stream extends across the whole composite stream with the exception of a left corner where the left-side stream is superimposed over the rearward stream.

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.
