A vehicle control device includes a plurality of imaging units that images an outside world of a vehicle, a surrounding screen image composition unit that combines a plurality of captured images captured by the plurality of imaging units to generate a surrounding screen image, a collision determination unit that determines whether an obstacle is present on a traveling route of the vehicle, an alarm screen image generation unit that selects, from a plurality of captured images, a captured image in which the obstacle is imaged to generate an alarm screen image including the selected captured image, and a display screen image switching unit that performs a process of displaying the surrounding screen image when the collision determination unit determines that the obstacle is not present, and displaying the alarm screen image when the collision determination unit determines that the obstacle is present.

An object of the present invention is to provide a guidance system and the like which are capable of showing an object from a point of view of an operator in an accurate manner when displaying the object on a display portion. A guidance system includes: a survey apparatus that surveys an object from a point of view that differs from a point of view of a user; and a display portion that displays the object from the point of view of the user, wherein the survey apparatus is configured to perform ranging by irradiating the object with ranging light and receiving reflected ranging light from the object, and survey information of the object having been surveyed by the survey apparatus is changed to the point of view of the user and displayed on the display portion.

Aircraft anti-collision systems, anti-collision methods, and aircraft with anti-collision systems and methods are provided. A method including transmitting, by a light emitter, a first light pulse proximate to a wing edge at a first time, detecting, by a light detector, a reflection of the first light pulse at a second time, determining, by a processor, a distance from a first object to the wing edge in response to the first time and the second time, calculating, by the processor, a possible contact occurrence in response to the distance and an aircraft velocity, and controlling a user interface with the processor to generate a user alert in response to the possible contact occurrence.

Systems and methods for processing point cloud data are disclosed. The methods include receiving a 3D image including point cloud data, displaying a 2D image of the 3D image, and generating a 2D bounding box that envelops an object of interest in the 2D image. The methods further include generating a projected image frame comprising a projected plurality of points by projecting a plurality of points in a first direction. The methods may then include displaying an image frame that includes the 2D image and the 2D bounding box superimposed by the projected image frame, receiving a user input that includes an identification of a set of points in the projected plurality of points that correspond to the object of interest, identifying a label for the object of interest, and storing the set of points that correspond to the object of interest in association with the label.

Embodiments may relate to a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI may include a first portion that displays an image related to images of a location. The GUI may also include a second portion that displays an image related to detection and ranging information of the location. The two images may be linked such that an interaction with an object in one portion of the GUI causes changes in the other portion of the GUI. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

A laser beam system which is self-adjusting for ambient light conditions and which is not affected by vibration of a moving vehicle includes a light source, at least one scanning galvanometer, a detector, and a controller. The light source emits a laser beam, part of which is directed to the scanning galvanometer and part to a target object, the light reflected by the target object shares a light path with part of the emitted light. The detector receives the reflected light and generates signals accordingly. The controller receives the signals and obtains information of the target object as to distance and shape according to the signals of detection.
