An image control system includes a rear camera, a left rear (right rear) camera, a display device, and an image control device for generating a combined image and displaying the combined image on the display device. The image control device identifies a rear target object and a left rear (right rear) target object which are closest to the vehicle in an own lane and a left lane (right lane), respectively, and changes a magnitude of the rear left-side (right-side) azimuth angle being an azimuth angle of a left (right) boundary line defining a horizontal angle of view of a rear effective range based on a combination of presence or absence of the rear target object and a level of closeness to this object and presence or absence of the left rear (right rear) target object and a level of closeness to this object.

Image control system

A control section generates an overhead surround view composite image by combining image data acquired by plural cameras, and, combines the image data to generate a wide-range rear image, a left rear image, a right rear image, a front image and a rear image. The control section calculates angles of view of the image data that were used in generating the wide-range rear image, the left rear image, the right rear image, the front image and the rear image, respectively. The control section displays any of the wide-range rear image, the left rear image, the right rear image, the front image and the rear image in a first display region, and displays information expressing angles of view corresponding to images displayed in the first display region in a second display region in a manner of being superimposed on the overhead surround view composite image.

Vehicle display device, vehicle display method, and non-transitory computer-readable medium storing vehicle display program

A rearward camera of a vehicle electronic mirror system images a rearward view of a vehicle, and a lateral rearward camera unit images each of right and left lateral rearward views of the vehicle. A control device compresses at least one of a rearward view picture after imaging by the rearward camera and right and left lateral rearward view pictures after imaging by the lateral rearward camera unit, at least in a vehicle-width direction, and performs display on an inner mirror display. The control device changes the compression ratio of the picture in the control device, depending on at least one of a state and peripheral situation of the vehicle. Accordingly, when a vehicle rearward side including lateral rearward sides contains a site requiring an easy distance-sense grasp, it is possible to easily grasp distance sense by decreasing the compression ratio of the picture corresponding to the site.

Vehicle electronic mirror system

A vehicular electronic mirror system includes a rear imaging device configured to capture an image of a rear side of a vehicle, rear lateral imaging devices respectively configured to capture images of right and left rear sides of the vehicle, and an electronic control device configured to perform, according to at least one of a state of the vehicle and a situation around the vehicle, different image processing processes on a rear image captured by the rear imaging device and rear lateral images captured by the rear lateral imaging devices and selected according to at least one of the state of the vehicle and the situation around the vehicle, and to cause a display device to display the rear image and the rear lateral images.

Vehicular electronic mirror system

An electronic mirror system for a vehicle includes a rear imaging device, a left and right pair of side-rear imaging devices, a display device, an anomaly treatment device, memory, and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor causes a composite image in which a rear image and side-rear images are composited to be displayed, and detects an anomaly occurring at any one of the imaging devices. In a case in which an anomaly is detected, the processor generates a substitute image based on a captured image captured by another of the imaging devices, and causes the substitute image to be displayed. And, in a case in which the one of the imaging devices at which the anomaly is detected, is restored to the normal state by the anomaly treatment device, the processor causes the composite image to be displayed instead of the substitute image.

Electronic mirror system for a vehicle

A load exerted on one of supporting parts supporting a seat of a vehicle is detected and is corrected according to an inclination of the vehicle. A load object on the seat is determined a plurality of times of turning on and turning off an ignition of the vehicle using the load thus corrected or the load detected. The load object is determined as an adult at least when the load is greater than or equal to a first threshold and determined as other than an adult at least when the load is less than a second threshold that is less than the first threshold. A function is further provided of determining the load object from a combination of a magnitude relation between the load and a third threshold less than or equal to the first threshold and greater than the second threshold and the inclination of the vehicle.

Load object determination apparatus

There is provided an occupant detection correction system including: a load detection section that detects load imparted to a vehicle seat and outputs a load signal representing the load; an occupant detection section that detects an occupant based on the load signal and is capable of resetting the load signal to a reference point based on a predetermined reset instruction; a tilt angle detection section that detects a predetermined tilt angle of a seatback; and a permitting section that permits execution of resetting the load signal to the reference point by the occupant detection section when the predetermined tilt angle is detected by the tilt angle detection section.
