Dynamic Rearview Mirror Adaptive Dimming Overlay Through Scene Brightness Estimation
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vehicle imaging system comprising:
- an image capture device capturing an image exterior of a vehicle, the captured image including at least a portion of a sky scene;
a processor generating a virtual image of a virtual sky scene from the portion of the sky scene captured by the image capture device, the processor determining a brightness of the virtual sky scene from the virtual image, the processor dynamically adjusting a brightness of the captured image based the determined brightness of the virtual image; and
a rear view mirror display device for displaying the adjusted captured image.

Abstract
A vehicle imaging system includes an image capture device capturing an image exterior of a vehicle. The captured image includes at least a portion of a sky scene. A processor generates a virtual image of a virtual sky scene from the portion of the sky scene captured by the image capture device. The processor determines a brightness of the virtual sky scene from the virtual image. The processor dynamically adjusts a brightness of the captured image based the determined brightness of the virtual image. A rear view mirror display device displays the adjusted captured image.

17. A method for dynamically adjusting a brightness of an image on rearview display device, the method comprising the steps of:
-
capturing an image exterior of a vehicle by an image capture device, the captured image including at least a portion of a sky scene; generating a virtual image of a virtual sky scene a processor from the portion of the sky scene captured by the image capture device, the processor determining a brightness of the virtual sky scene from the virtual image, the processor dynamically adjusting a brightness of the captured image based the determined brightness of the virtual image; and displaying the adjusted captured image on a rear view mirror display device for displaying the adjusted captured image. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
