    Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes a camera disposed at a tailgate of a vehicle. The system, via processing at an electronic control unit (ECU) of image data captured by the camera, generates video images that are displayed at a display device at an interior portion of the vehicle. The tailgate is pivotable between a closed position and an opened position. When the tailgate is in the closed position, the camera views rearward of the vehicle, and when the tailgate is pivoted to the opened position, the camera pivots relative to the tailgate to view rearward of the vehicle with the tailgate in the opened position. The system controls an actuator to pivot the camera relative to the tailgate to adjust a rearward view of the camera based on processing at the ECU of image data captured by the camera.

    Abstract: A threshold-value setting device sets a threshold value corresponding to a predetermined distance in order to give a user a warning about a warning object approaching within a distance less than the predetermined distance, and includes a threshold-value processor and an image processor. The threshold-value processor acquires a vertical position in a camera image obtained by image capturing of surroundings of the vehicle with the camera, i.e., a designated position in accordance with a user's operation and generates an icon having a size appropriate to the designated position and having a shape imitating the shape of the warning object. The image processor superimposes the icon on the designated position in the camera image and displays the icon-superimposed camera image on a display. The threshold-value processor sets the designated position as the threshold value in accordance with a determination operation performed by the user based on the displayed icon.

    Abstract: In a camera system, a captured image of a rear of a vehicle is acquired, an optical image having a high-resolution region and a low-resolution region is formed on an imaging unit, a first image is generated by cutting out a first region from an image region corresponding to the high-resolution region in an image read from the imaging unit, a second image is generated by cutting out a second region from an image region different from the first region, the first image and the second image are generated such that at least a portion of a lower end of the second region is positioned below a lower end of the first region, and at least a portion of an upper end of the second region is positioned below an upper end of the first region, and at least one of the first image and the second image is output for display.

    Abstract: An imaging apparatus provided in a moving object to capture an image of an area behind the moving object includes an imaging circuit and an optical system. The imaging circuit outputs an image based on an optical image input to a light-receiving surface. The optical system inputs the optical image to the imaging circuit. The optical system forms a first region at a first magnification and a second region at a second magnification lower than the first magnification. The second region is formed around the first region. The imaging apparatus is installed in the moving object so that, on the light-receiving surface of the imaging circuit, an axis passing through a center of the first region and extending in a direction from which the optical system receives light is inclined toward an upper side of the moving object with respect to a backward direction of the moving object.
