1. A method of manufacturing a vehicle-mounted camera including a cover enclosure including a top plate and a camera main structure assembly fixed to the cover enclosure via a positioner, the vehicle-mounted camera being attached to a glass surface of a windshield inside a vehicle at the top plate and facing forward or rearward of a vehicle body in a position in which the vehicle-mounted camera extends along the windshield, and the vehicle-mounted camera is positioned to capture an image of a scene on a front or back side of the vehicle body, the method comprising:
previously assuming a plurality of inclination angles as inclination angles of the glass surface; previously assuming a plurality of positioning angles less than a number of the plurality of inclination angles; determining an inclination angle of the glass surface of the vehicle body on which the vehicle-mounted camera is to be mounted; selecting at least one positioning angle from the previously assumed plurality of positioning angles to prepare a positioner with the selected positioning angle; and fixing the camera main structure assembly and the selected positioner to the cover enclosure; wherein the camera main structure assembly includes a lens and an image sensor; the top plate of the cover enclosure includes an enclosure-side seat; the camera main structure assembly includes a camera-side seat on a surface of the camera main structure assembly; a surface of the positioner includes an enclosure-side positioner that contacts with the enclosure-side seat at at least three enclosure-side contact points, and a camera-side positioner that contacts with the camera-side seat at at least three enclosure-side contact points; at least one of the at least three enclosure-side contact points is located in a position deviated from a straight line passing through the other two points; at least one of the at least three camera-side contact points is located in a position deviated from a straight line passing through the other two points; the positioning angle is a difference between a direction determined by the at least three enclosure-side contact points and a direction determined by the at least three camera-side contact points; and the positioning angle is selected by a predetermined method of referring to the determined inclination angle of the glass surface, a difference between the direction determined by the at least three enclosure-side contact points and a direction of the glass surface, and a difference between the direction determined by the at least three camera-side contact points and a direction of an optical axis of the camera main structure assembly. |
