    摘要: A method may include receiving, by a processor device of a computer system of a vehicle, image data from a camera proximate a distal end of a camera mount structure coupled to the vehicle, the image data including a captured image of a region adjacent a vertical side surface of the vehicle, the distal end of the camera mount structure protruding outwardly from the vertical side surface. The method further includes determining, by the processor device, a relative location of the distal end of the camera mount structure with respect to the vertical side surface of the vehicle within the captured image. The method further includes causing, by the processor device, a display device of the vehicle to display an image comprising the captured image and a first indication of the relative location of the distal end of the camera mount structure within the captured image.

    摘要: An electronic mirror comprises a liquid crystal cell, wherein the liquid crystal cell comprises a first transparent electrode, a second transparent electrode, a liquid crystal layer comprising liquid crystal molecules arranged between the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode, and an AC voltage source configured to apply an alternating voltage across the liquid crystal layer between the first transparent electrode and the second transparent electrode, wherein, when a voltage is applied across the liquid crystal layer, the liquid crystal molecules in the liquid crystal layer change their orientation, and the electronic mirror is configured to apply a varying voltage across the liquid crystal layer which gradually decreases from outer areas towards the center of the liquid crystal layer such that the refraction index of the liquid crystal layer gradually varies from outer areas towards the center of the liquid crystal layer.

    摘要: A method for estimating a trailer wheel position includes identifying a first set of wheel locations in a first image. Each of the wheel locations in the first set of wheel locations is associated with a corresponding trailer angle. The first set of wheel locations is clustered and a primary cluster in the first set of wheel locations is identified. A best fit curve is applied to the primary cluster. The best fit curve is a curve associating wheel position to trailer angle. An estimated wheel position is determined by applying a determined trailer angle to the best fit curve in response to the wheel being hidden in the first image. The estimated wheel position is output to at least one additional vehicle system.

    摘要: The present disclosure refers to a rear view system for a vehicle, comprising a rear view device comprising at least one camera module and/or at least one reflective element, wherein the rear view device is configured to be mounted to the vehicle, in particular to a door or a body of the vehicle, in order to capture a field-of-view (FOV) in a scenery at least around a rear part of the vehicle and to be moved between at least two states relative to the door and/or the body of the vehicle, in particular between a folded and unfolded state, characterized by a time-of-flight (ToF) sensor for emitting at least one light signal, and a processing unit for determining at least one of the states of the rear view device when the rear view device is mounted to the vehicle, wherein the ToF sensor is configured to be mounted to the rear view device or to the vehicle separate from the rear view device, and wherein the processing unit is configured to operate the ToF sensor to emit the at least one light signal towards the FoV of the rear view device in case the ToF sensor is mounted to the rear view device or towards the rear view device in case the ToF sensor is mounted separate from the rear view device and to determine the at least one state of the rear view device based on the at least one light signal. It also refers to a vehicle with such a rear view system.
