    摘要: This misalignment detection device is provided with: a plurality of coils which receive lines of magnetic force generated by a power transmitting coil and are disposed side by side line-symmetrically with respect to an axis line as a symmetrical axis; a plurality of temperature sensors which are disposed adjacent to each of the plurality of coils and output temperatures; and a processing device for detecting misalignment of a power receiving coil with respect to the power transmitting coil along the axis line on the basis of a difference for evaluating a difference between the temperatures. With this misalignment detection device, it is possible to perform positional misalignment detection which is not easily affected by surroundings.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method of displaying ego-vehicle surroundings within an ego-vehicle. The method includes continuously capturing the ego-vehicle surroundings by at least one onboard camera to be stored in at least one camera data set. It further includes detecting, within the captured ego-vehicle surroundings, an electrical charging base located in the ground or near the ground. Further, it includes obtaining ego-vehicle motion information, and generating, if a part of the ego-vehicle causes a blind spot to the electrical charging base by obscuring a field-of-view of the ego-vehicle camera, a synthetic view to replace the blind spot in a display, the synthetic view being generated based on at least one previous view of the captured ego-vehicle surroundings stored in the camera data set and being motion-compensated based on the ego-vehicle motion information.
