Abstract: A method for displaying and processing an image captured by an optical system used to simulate a rear-view system of a vehicle, includes capturing the image, identifying primary edges of a first image of the plurality of images, locating a first border within the first image that extends to part of a first edge of the first image, identifying secondary edges of a second image of the plurality of images, selecting a second edge from the secondary edges closest in position and orientation to the part of the first edge of the first image, locating a second border within the second image that extends to the second edge, and adjusting the second image such that a second part of the second border of the second image aligns with the first border of the first image, wherein the optical system simultaneously simulates both a plane mirror and a spotter mirror in form of a spherical mirror in the single image to provide a plurality of optical subsystems.

Abstract: A method for providing one or more of a rear or a side view of a vehicle includes generating a video stream of images subsequently captured by at least one camera of the vehicle or of a virtual mirror device of the vehicle, processing the generated video stream, and displaying the generated video stream on at least one screen of a display unit of the vehicle or of the virtual mirror device.

Abstract: A vehicle arrangement includes a display device for displaying at least one item of information on a display surface for at least one person being transported by the vehicle, a detection device for detecting disturbance of the view of the person of the display surface, and a further component which is compensating the detected disturbance of the view of the person of the display surface at least partially by at least one of movement relative to the display surface and alteration of its external shape. A vehicle includes at least one such vehicle arrangement, and a method provides a display in or on a vehicle.

Abstract: An imaging system includes an image sensor and an image signal processor (ISP). The image sensor generates image data including a set of pixel values. The ISP defines a first subset of pixel values from the set of pixel values. The first subset of pixel values corresponds to at least one region of interest. The ISP defines a second subset of pixel values that is complementary to the first subset of pixel values. The ISP generates a first sub-image based on the second subset of pixel values. The ISP processes the first subset of pixel values to generate a second sub-image. Processing the first subset of pixel values includes at least one of changing a color of one or more pixel values from the first subset of pixel values and scaling the first subset of pixel values. The ISP merges the first and second sub-images to generate an output image.

Abstract: A method for displaying and processing an image captured by an optical system used to simulate a rear-view system of a vehicle, includes capturing the image, calculating a region of interest (ROI) on the captured image, calculating a blur factor for blurring the ROI using one or more inputs, manipulating an image gradient pixel by pixel using the blur factor to reduce at least one of a brightness or a contrast of one or more pixels of the ROI, and displaying the processed image on a display.

Abstract: A method for displaying and processing an image includes capturing the image, calculating one or more of a size, a position, and a field of view of a first region of interest (ROI) of the captured image, calculating one or more of a size, a position, and a field of view of a second ROI of the captured image, calculating a blur factor for blurring the first ROI, manipulating an image gradient of the first ROI pixel by pixel using the blur factor to reduce at least one of a brightness or a contrast of one or more pixels of the ROI, manipulating the second ROI by changing a color of one or more pixel values from the second ROI, and displaying the processed image on a display.
