Abstract: A camera module attaches a camera to a motor vehicle. The camera module includes a camera unit having an optical axis, and a support configured for accommodating the camera. The support has a main positioning surface transversal to the optical axis, such as when the camera is mounted with the support the front contact surface of the camera and the main positioning surface are in contact. A cover is attachable to the support to retain the camera pressed against the support in a direction parallel to the optical axis. First pressure means are provided in the cover or in the support, and as when the cover is fastened with the support, the pressure means press the camera unit against the support in a direction parallel to the optical axis (X) or perpendicular to the main positioning surface.

Abstract: The mounting assembly comprises a base member; a bracket with a portion protruding from the base member; a mounting bending part attached to the protruding portion and including at least one elastic pre-fixing leg, and at least one fixing bending leg; and a tightening member for tightening the mounting bending part to the bracket. The mounting bending part and the protruding portion can be arranged to clamp to each other in a first relative position where the fixing bending leg is between the base member and the protruding portion; and in a second relative position where the pre-fixing elastic leg is between the base member and the protruding portion, and the fixing bending leg is out of a position between the first relative position.

Abstract: A vehicle imaging system for a vehicle including a rear viewing device configured to be located at a lateral side of the vehicle. The vehicle imaging system including an image capturing unit and a display unit. The image capturing unit is configured to take images of surroundings of the vehicle, is located in the proximity of the rear viewing device, includes an optical axis and a field of view, and is configured such that the field of view of the image capturing unit generally extends rearward until a forward limit of a field of view of the rear viewing device. The display unit is configured to communicate with the image capturing unit and displays the images, and is adapted to be located in an interior of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle image processing system including a control unit and a display unit. The control unit processes an image of the exterior of the vehicle. The display unit displays at least a part of the image. The control unit operates the display unit in first and second modes. The first mode displays at least a part of the image, and the second mode displays at least first and second adjacent regions. The second region is located at least in a lateral end of the display unit, where in the first region the display unit displays part of the image displayed in the first mode, and in the second region the display unit removes the part of the image not displayed in the first region.

Abstract: A mirror assembly includes a housing, a reflective element, a display, a light sensor, a controller, and an interface. The reflective element is adapted to change beween high and low reflection states. The display is positioned behind, and visible through, the reflective element when activated and the switchable reflective element is in the low reflection state. The sensor is configured to output a light signal. The controller is configured to receive the signal, compare the signal to a threshold, and output a signal to the switchable reflective element to facilitate changing between the high and low reflection states and based on the comparison. The controller outputs a signal to activate the display when the switchable reflective element is in the low reflection state. The interface outputs a signal to the controller to activate the display and place the reflective element in the low reflection state regardless of the light signal.

Abstract: The rear view mirror (100) comprises a rear view mirror housing (110) to be movably mounted to a portion of a motor vehicle, a reflective element (120) received in the housing (110), and actuating means (130) for moving the rear view mirror housing (110) in at least two different positions. The actuating means (130) include at least one operator interface element (200) for operating and/or controlling and/or selecting and/or indicating different parameters and functions in the motor vehicle by the user.

Abstract: A vehicle driving assist system includes at least a first camera (1) located at a rear part of the vehicle (10) for capturing a first field of view (11) outside of the rear of the vehicle (10). The first field of view (11) is larger than a second field of view (12) covered by a transflective element (22) of an optional rear-view mirror (21). The system further includes: a display (2) configurable for displaying an image of the first rear field of view (11) captured by the at least one, first camera (1); processing means for modifying the image to be displayed by the display (2) and for overlaying on the image displayed by the display (2) at least a reference line (41, 51, 52, 52?) which corresponds to a predetermined distance at ground level (40) from the driver's ocular points (42) or from the rear of the vehicle (10).

Abstract: The invention refers to a rear vision system (1) for a motor vehicle comprising a camera (2) for capturing an image (3) within a field of view, and a system controller (6) adapted for: displaying a first area (5) of the captured image (3), receiving and processing vehicle driving and/or user information, and selecting a second area (8?-8???) of the captured image (3) depending on the received information, where each of the first and second areas (5, 8?-8???) are smaller than the area of the captured image (3). The vehicle driving information may refer to a change in driving direction from a forward driving direction to a reverse driving direction or vice versa, an increase or decrease in driving speed with respect to a predefined value, a change in lane, a change in steering angle, a change in pitch angle, a change in roll angle, and road monitoring.

Abstract: The assembly comprises a mirror housing including a half-mirror a display and a driving plate pivotally coupled to the housing adapted for attachment to an interior of the vehicle; an actuator switch lever pivotally attached to the driving plate for moving the housing in at least two angular positions causing the display to be switched on/off depending on the housing angular positions; and a mechanism for adjusting at least one of said mirror housing angular positions. The system comprises said assembly and a rear-view camera device for capturing images from the outside of the vehicle to be displayed on the display. The installation method includes the step of adjusting the positioning mechanism for determining at least one mirror housing angular position.
