  • Patent number: 12780097
    Abstract: A system and a visualization method for a motor vehicle. The method uses steps of controlling a brightness level of at least one display surface, including: controlling basic illumination on the display surface with a basic brightness level, and controlling an increase of the brightness level on the image display area obtained, from the basic brightness level to at least one enhanced brightness level, when one of the following two conditions is validated: detecting a direction of the gaze of the driver oriented toward the obtained image display area, or detecting at least one obstacle corresponding to a danger level greater than a first predetermined danger threshold, the direction of gaze of the detected driver not being oriented toward the display area.

  • Publication number: 20250222771
    Abstract: A system and method for displaying extended images of a low front end of a vehicle having a front hood, each extended image including an area visible to a user of the vehicle and an area concealed by the front hood of the vehicle, the vehicle being equipped with at least one exterior camera having a field of view oriented towards the low front end of the vehicle. The method carried out by the system includes the steps of: estimating a position of the vehicle user's eyes, processing images captured by the exterior camera to obtain extended images of the low front end of the vehicle; implementing a superimposition, on each image captured, of a representation of an outline of the front hood of the vehicle, the representation being dependent on the position of the eyes of the user, and displaying the extended images on an on-board display device.
