  • Publication number: 20220398690
    Abstract: A processor of a remote facility executes image generation processing and display control processing. In the image generation processing, it is determined whether a front image includes an image of a mirror portion of a traffic mirror based on data of feature quantity of an object included in the front image. If it is determined that the front image includes the mirror portion image, an image of a preset region including the mirror portion is extracted from the front image. Then, a super-resolution image is generated by super-resolution processing for the image of this preset region. In the display control processing, if the front image includes the image of the mirror portion, the super-resolution image and the front image is displayed on a display of a remote facility.

  • Publication number: 20220358620
    Abstract: A processor of a remote facility executes image generation processing to generate assistance image data to be displayed on a display based on front image data indicating front image data of a vehicle. In the image generation processing, when an image of a traffic light is included in the front image data, it is determined whether recognition likelihood of a luminescent state of a light emitting section of the traffic light is equal to or smaller than a threshold. If it is determined that recognition likelihood is less than or equal to the threshold, super-resolution processing of a preset region including the traffic light in the front image data is executed. Then, super-resolution image data of the preset region by the super-resolution processing is superimposed on a region corresponding to the preset region in the front image data. As such, the assistance image data is generated.

  • Patent number: 11472429
    Abstract: The vehicle controller includes a processor configured to determine whether a behavior of a driver of the vehicle satisfies a predetermined enabling condition after execution of a function of automatically stopping the vehicle. The function is executed due to not satisfying a driver-related condition for continuing the automated driving control of the vehicle. The enabling condition relates to driving control of the vehicle and is not imposed before the execution of the function. The processor is further configured to perform the automated driving control of the vehicle only when the behavior of the driver satisfies the enabling condition.

  • Publication number: 20220289188
    Abstract: A control device of a vehicle includes a processor configured to modify target acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle according to acceleration/deceleration required of the vehicle in automated driving control of the vehicle. The target acceleration/deceleration is included in a first acceleration/deceleration request received via a communication interface from a driving assistance controller for assisting a driver of the vehicle in driving. The processor outputs a second acceleration/deceleration request including the modified target acceleration/deceleration via the communication interface to an accelerator controller.

  • Publication number: 20220266860
    Abstract: A control device of a vehicle includes a control target value setting part for setting the first reference value as the control target value when the control demand value is greater than or equal to a second reference value; and a demand signal output part for outputting a control demand signal including the set control target value to the equipment control device. The first reference value is a value wherein an equipment control device outputs a corresponding equipment control signal when the control demand signal including this value as the control target value is sent to the equipment control device. The second reference value is the smallest value among values wherein the equipment control device does not output a corresponding equipment control signal when the control demand signal including this value as the control target value is sent to the equipment control device.
