Included are: a video data acquiring unit configured to acquire video data acquired by a plurality of image capturing units that capture images of surroundings of a vehicle; an event detector configured to detect an event concerning the vehicle; a parking detector configured to detect whether the vehicle is in a parked state; an object detector configured to detect a surrounding object present at a distance less than a certain distance from the vehicle while the vehicle is parked, and a recording function controller configured to, when the object detector detects a surrounding object present at a distance less than the certain distance from the vehicle while the vehicle is parked, perform recording due to the event detected by the event detector, using video data captured by a camera.

Vehicular recording control apparatus, vehicular recording apparatus, vehicular recording control method, and computer program

An event data recorder as a recording device for vehicles capable of recording clear sound data that may contribute to investigation of a cause of an accident in event recording data, regardless of a sound volume of an audio sound played back in the own vehicle, includes a video data acquisition unit configured to acquire video data including sound data and imaging an area around the own vehicle, a sound volume detection unit configured to detect a sound volume of an audio sound played back in the vehicle, and a recording control unit configured to record video data including data by which a sound volume of an audio sound can be determined and sound data on which an effect of an audio sound is small, when a sound volume of an audio sound detected by the sound volume detection unit is greater than a sound volume.

Recording device for vehicles, recording method for vehicles, and a non-transitory computer readable medium

Provided are a video data acquisition unit that acquires video data captured by a camera; an event detection unit that detects an event occurring on a vehicle; a parking tendency determination unit that determines a tendency of a parking time at a parking position of the vehicle; and a recording function control unit that, when an event is detected while the vehicle is parked, controls a parking recording function for storing the video data captured by the camera.

A display device for a vehicle includes an imaging unit configured to capture a video around a vehicle, a generation unit configured to generate a bird's eye view video obtained by converting a viewpoint of the captured video so it seems as if the vehicle is seen from above, a horizontally long display unit disposed in front of a driver's seat in the vehicle, an information acquisition unit configured to acquire information on a steering angle of the vehicle, an orientation determination unit configured to determine as to whether a steering orientation of the vehicle is left or right based on the information on the steering angle of the vehicle, and a display control unit configured to perform control in such a way that a display mode of the bird's eye view video displayed on the display unit is changed according to the steering orientation of the vehicle.

Display device for vehicle and display method for vehicle

A first display panel and a second display panel display information used for vehicle driving. An information acquisition unit acquires a condition of the vehicle. A switching unit switches from a first display mode of the first display panel and the second display panel to a second display mode of the first display panel and the second display panel for displaying information of a smaller information volume than an information volume of information displayed in the first display mode, based on the condition of the vehicle acquired in the information acquisition unit.

Vehicle display device for displaying information used for vehicle driving

An image drawing apparatus includes a light source unit that outputs a laser light, a sensor that measures an index regarding brightness of the laser light, a scanner that reflects and scans the laser light, and an image processor that controls the light source unit, outputs the laser light to a drawing area narrower than a scanning area of the scanner so that an image based on image data that has been input is drawn, outputting an adjustment laser light to adjust the brightness of the laser light to an outside of the drawing area, stops the output of the adjustment laser light when a period (e.g., variable) until the time the output of the adjustment laser light becomes stable is passed after the output of the adjustment laser light is started, and adjusts the laser light brightness based on the index regarding the adjustment laser light brightness.

Image drawing apparatus, image drawing method, and non-transitory computer readable medium storing program

An image display device according to the exemplary embodiment includes: an RGB laser diode that outputs a light beam; a laser driver that drives the RGB laser diode based on input image data; a scanning mirror that scans the light beam by reflecting the light beam at an angle according to a drive voltage; and a scanner control unit that applies a bias voltage to the scanning mirror based on an angle with respect to a horizontal plane, or a static angle of the scanning mirror that is at a standstill when the drive voltage is not applied.

Image display device and image display method

The rendering control unit controls the laser light source unit in such a way that a display image is rendered in a range smaller than a scan range of the scan mirror unit based on input display image data. The detection unit detects a range to be a reference for setting a laser beam output position for adjusting an output of the laser beams based on the display image data. The output adjusting control unit controls the laser light source unit in such a way that the laser beams for adjusting an output of the laser beams are output at a position outside the range where the display image is rendered in the scan range of the scan mirror unit, and the position is based on the range detected by the detecting unit.

Image display apparatus and image display adjusting method

A communication controller transmits current location information of a subject apparatus to another pre-registered apparatus, and receives current location information of the another pre-registered apparatus. A location relationship determiner determines whether the subject apparatus precedes the another apparatus in a heading direction. An operation mode determiner operates the subject apparatus as a main device when it is determined that the subject apparatus precedes the another apparatus in the heading direction, and operates the subject apparatus as a sub device when it is determined that the subject apparatus does not precede the another apparatus in the heading direction. A function selector activates a function of transmitting heading direction information to the another apparatus when the subject apparatus is determined to be a main device, and activates a function of receiving the heading direction information from a main device when the subject apparatus is determined to be a sub device.
