Abstract: A system and method for a vehicle having a trailer hitch includes at least one camera mounted to a rear of the vehicle, a display device, and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry captures a video image from the at least one camera, generates a guide line in accordance with a steering angle of the vehicle, superimposes the guide line on the video image for guiding a direction from the trailer hitch towards a coupler of a trailer, displays the captured video image with the superimposed guide line, and enlarges a view of an area centered on an end of the guideline that is adjacent to the coupler.

Abstract: A driver assist system and method for a motor vehicle that includes processing circuitry configured to receive and store a sequence of images from perimeter view cameras, select at least a portion of a previously stored image based on an estimated position displacement of the motor vehicle, construct an under view image of at least a portion of the motor vehicle, and display the under view image on a display monitor.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus includes: an acquiring unit configured to acquire a plurality of items of image information of images photographed by a plurality of image pickup units provided on a vehicle as an outside environment of the vehicle and whose image picked-up areas are partly overlapped with each other; a correcting unit configured to compare a position of a first overlapped area included in one of two items of image information of images whose image picked-up areas are overlapped with each other with a position of a second overlapped area of the other image information, and if the position of the first overlapped area is closer to a center of a display area of the image information, correct the other image information so as to cause the luminance of the second overlapped area to match the luminance of the first overlapped area.

Abstract: A parking support apparatus includes: a captured image acquisition unit acquiring a captured image from an image capturing unit which images surrounding scenery of a vehicle; a target destination section setting unit setting a target destination section which is located around the vehicle and at which the vehicle arrives, based on the image; a vertex coordinates calculation unit calculating coordinates of a vertex of the section; an intersection coordinates calculation unit calculating coordinates of the vehicle at an intersection between a parallel line parallel to the vehicle in a width direction and frame lines configuring the section in a top view when the vertex is closer to a center side of the vehicle than the parallel line; and a destination frame superposition unit superposing a destination frame onto the image by linearly connecting positions in the image corresponding to the vertex on a side separated farther from the vehicle than the parallel line among the vertexes, and the intersection.
