  • Publication number: 20230158957
    Abstract: A control device includes circuitry configured to: generate a surroundings image of a moving body based on imaging data obtained by an imaging device provided in an openable and closable side mirror of the moving body; cause a display device to display the generated surroundings image; and determine whether the side mirror is in an opened state or a closed state. The circuitry is configured to set, in the surroundings image, a mask area of a range that is based on a determination result as to a state of the side mirror.

  • Patent number: 10807610
    Abstract: Systems and methods that reduce stress and errors experienced by a vehicle's driver navigating an intersection are disclosed. An in-vehicle system is capable of communicating whether travel is permitted in different directions exiting the intersection to the driver. The system can include a traffic-information-collection interface configured to receive real-time traffic signal status information at signalized intersections along a roadway of vehicle travel and a display configured to display traffic information comprising a visual indicator for all directions of travel from signalized intersections. Each of the visual direction indicators indicates whether travel is allowed in the direction of travel associated with each visual direction indicator.

  • Patent number: 10757343
    Abstract: When it is possible to capture a plurality of light sources as images of a plurality of separated light sources with a gain within a range for each of the ranges of mutually different gains, images captured with the maximum gains among the gains that enables the capturing as the images of the plurality of light sources, that is, images captured to be the brightest is generated as use images (a, b, and c). Then, an image d, obtained by combining only the use images (a and b) in which the plurality of light sources is successfully captured as the images of the plurality of separated light sources among the generated use images, is displayed on a display.

  • Patent number: 10464490
    Abstract: A display control apparatus connected to an imaging apparatus installed in a vehicle includes an obtaining unit which obtains image data obtained by the imaging apparatus capturing an image of a portion on a rear side of the vehicle, a specifying unit which specifies, as a compression region, a pixel region which does not include image elements indicating straight objects extending along a traveling direction of the vehicle in a pixel region in a lower portion in the image data, a generation unit which generates display image data of a predetermined display size by compressing the specified compression region in the image data, and a controller which performs control so that the generated display image data is visually recognized through an electronic mirror disposed as a rearview mirror of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10460703
    Abstract: A display control apparatus configured to be connected to an imaging apparatus is provided. The display control apparatus includes an obtaining unit configured to obtain image data captured by the imaging apparatus by capturing an image behind a vehicle; an edge image generation unit configured to generate edge image data that clearly indicates a peripheral portion of the image data to be viewed via an electric mirror that is placed at a rear-view mirror position inside the vehicle; a display image generation unit configured to generate display image data by superimposing the generated edge image data onto the obtained image data; and a control unit configured to control the generated display image data to be viewed via the electric mirror.
