Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An imaging and display system for a vehicle may comprise a first portable wireless vehicle imager mounted on a trailer and oriented to capture images from a first field of view having a vertical angle greater than the horizontal angle; a second portable wireless vehicle imager mounted one of the vehicle and the trailer and oriented to capture images from a second field of view having a vertical angle greater than the horizontal angle; an image processor for receiving and processing image data from the images captured by the first and the second portable wireless imagers and configured to generate a first supplementary image from a first portion of the first field of view, a second supplementary image from a second portion of the first field of view, and a first additional image from a first portion of the second field of view.

Abstract: An imaging and display system for use in a vehicle pulling a trailer, the system including: a trailer camera mounted on the trailer such that the camera is oriented to receive images from a first field of view having a horizontal angle and a vertical angle where the vertical angle is greater than the horizontal angle; an image processor for creating a back-up image and a rearward image from an image captured by the camera, the back-up image corresponding to a second field of view cropped from the lowest portion of the first field of view and the rearward image corresponding to a third field of view cropped from a portion of the first field of view above the lowest portion, the third field of view having a horizontal angle and a vertical angle where the horizontal angle is greater than the vertical angle.

Abstract: A display apparatus for a vehicle comprises a display screen configured to emit augmented image data in an emission direction. The apparatus further comprises a lens apparatus configured to receive the augmented image data from the display screen. The lens apparatus is configured to project the augmented image data to a focal distance different than a display surface of the display screen. The apparatus also comprises an image processor configured to generate the augmented image data from image data supplied to the image processor. The augmented image data is configured to correct for a distortion caused by the image data passing through the lens apparatus.
