REAR VISION SYSTEM WITH EYE-TRACKING
First Claim
1. A rear vision system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a camera mounted with the vehicle and capturing a field of view of a first area rearward of the vehicle;
a rearview mirror including a display substrate thereon;
an image sensor directed toward an interior of the vehicle and configured to capture image data of an object; and
a controller;
in communication with the camera and receiving a first video image of the first area corresponding with the field of view;
in communication with the image sensor to determine a position of the object within the image data; and
in communication with the display substrate to present a sub-area of the first area on the display substrate, the sub-area being selected to simulate a reflected image from the field of view to the object by the substrate based on the determined position of the object.

Abstract
A rear vision system for a vehicle includes a camera mounted with the vehicle and capturing a field of view rearward of the vehicle, a rearview mirror including a display substrate thereon, and an image sensor directed toward an interior of the vehicle and configured to capture image data of an object. The system further includes a controller in communication with the camera and receiving a first video image of the first size corresponding with the field of view, with the image sensor to determine a position of the object within the image data, and with the display substrate to present a portion of the first video image thereon of a size less than the first size. The portion of the first video image is selected to correspond with an expected portion of the field of view based on the determined position of the object.

11. A rear vision system for a vehicle, comprising:
-
a camera mounted with the vehicle and capturing a field of view of a first area rearward of the vehicle; a display substrate mounted within an interior of the vehicle; an image sensor directed toward the interior of the vehicle and positioned to capture image data of an object; and a processor; in communication with the camera and receiving a first video image of the field of view; in communication with the image sensor to locate the object within the image data and to determine a position of the object relative to a predetermined two-dimensional coordinate system along a theoretical viewing distance from the substrate; and in communication with the display substrate to present a sub-area of the first area on the display substrate, the sub-area being selected to correlate the position of the object with a two-dimensional coordinate system assigned to the first area based on a scale between the theoretical viewing distance and a predetermined estimated image distance from the display substrate to a theoretical image plane to the rear of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A vehicle, comprising:
-
a camera mounted with the vehicle and capturing a field of view of a first area rearward of the vehicle; a rearview mirror positioned within an interior of the vehicle and including; a display substrate mounted within an interior of the vehicle; and an image sensor directed toward the interior of the vehicle and positioned to capture image data of an object; and a controller; in communication with the camera and receiving a first video image of the field of view; in communication with the image sensor to locate the object within the image data and to determine a position of the object relative to a predetermined two-dimensional coordinate system along a theoretical viewing distance from the substrate; and in communication with the display substrate to present a sub-area of the first area on the display substrate, the sub-area being selected to correlate the position of the position of the object with a two-dimensional coordinate system assigned to the first area based on a scale between the theoretical viewing distance and a predetermined estimated image distance from the rearview mirror to a theoretical image plane to the rear of the vehicle.
