20090135253 | Camera System for a Motor Vehicle - In the case of a camera system for a motor vehicle, incident radiation can be guided by way of one or more deflection mirrors to a camera, at least one deflection mirror being structurally coupled with a swivelable decorative part of the motor vehicle. | 05-28-2009 |
20100060487 | Motor Vehicle - A motor vehicle has an imaging device for generating an image of a radiation pattern on the terrain surrounding the motor vehicle. A detecting device is provided for the multiple sequential detection of images of the radiation patterns that are influenced by the terrain. A processor device is also provided. The processing device is designed such that an obstacle in the terrain is detected based on the difference between directly or indirectly sequentially detected images of the radiation pattern. | 03-11-2010 |
20100182432 | System for Monitoring the Environment of a Motor Vehicle - A system for monitoring the environment of a motor vehicle, includes imaging devices for taking a sequence of images, which sequence contains images of at least a part of the environment of the motor vehicle. A display unit reproduces at least one image detail of the image sequence in the vehicle interior. A device automatically changes the detail of the environment shown by the reproduction of the image detail by the display unit. One or more devices for determining at least one earlier position of the motor vehicle is provided, wherein the environmental detail can be automatically adapted as a function of the earlier position of the motor vehicle. | 07-22-2010 |
20100225762 | Method for Providing Driver Information in a Motor Vehicle - A method provides driver information in a motor vehicle, in which method a recording device of the motor vehicle captures an image flow containing images of at least one part of the environment of the motor vehicle. A display unit in the interior of the motor vehicle reproduces at least one image section of the image flow. A display control unit of the motor vehicle automatically modifies the environmental section shown to the driver by reproducing the image section using the display unit. During the reproduction of the image section, in addition to the representation of the environmental section, at least first optical information relating to the position of the environmental section relative to the motor vehicle is output to the driver. | 09-09-2010 |
20110175752 | Methods and Apparatuses for Informing an Occupant of a Vehicle of Surroundings of the Vehicle - Methods and apparatuses for informing an occupant of a vehicle of surroundings of the vehicle are provided. A recording unit of the vehicle generates at least two images, which contain different road sections of a road plane in the surroundings of the vehicle. The at least two images are processed by an image processing unit, which generates a depiction in which the at least two images are imaged on a virtual road plane that is displayed in perspective. The depiction is displayed on a display unit in the interior of the vehicle. | 07-21-2011 |
20120062372 | Method for Representing Objects Surrounding a Vehicle on the Display of a Display Device - A method represents objects of varying visibility surrounding a vehicle for a driver on a display device. The surroundings are automatically recognized by object recognition devices. For recognized objects, it is determined whether the respective object is a first object classified to be visible, or a second object classified to be invisible to the occupant. For a number of recognized objects including at least one first object and second object, respective positions of the objects are determined for the display, in the case of which the geometrical relationships between the number of objects correspond essentially to the real geometrical relationships. | 03-15-2012 |
20140203925 | Method for the Computer-Assisted Processing of the Vicinity of a Vehicle - A method for computer-supported processing of the vicinity of a vehicle includes detecting the surroundings of a vehicle and providing surroundings data by a sensor system. The surroundings data may be processed to ascertain, for pre-specified sections of the surroundings of the vehicle, a specific distance to objects detected by the sensor system. A collision probability between one of the detected objects and the vehicle is ascertained depending on a predicted and/or actual vehicle movement determined using odometric data. Moreover, the surroundings of the vehicle are depicted on an output unit where, for at least one of the pre-specified sections, distance information between such at least one pre-specified section of the surroundings and the detected object is output using at least one of a graphic element and an acoustic element that includes collision information about a collision probability. | 07-24-2014 |
20150224920 | Method for Direction Dependent Signaling - A method is provided for direction-dependent signaling particularly by a vehicle, including: display of two or more graphical messages from the same vehicle region to the outside; wherein each graphical message has an associated spatial angle from which only the respective graphical message is visible, but not the other graphical message(s). The spatial angles differ at least in an angle parameter. | 08-13-2015 |
