DYNAMICALLY ADJUSTING SURVEILLANCE DEVICES

摘要

A dynamically adjusting surveillance system provides a monitor on one or both sides of a vehicle, each monitor including one or more cameras capturing an image that includes a key region. The monitors can display this key region to a driver of the vehicle. The key region can be updated based on the activities of the driver. For example, the key region can change to provide a desirable view for the driver before, during and after a turn is made. An angular sensor can be used to detect the position of the vehicle in the turn to dynamically update the key region displayed to the driver. The key region can be changed at a sufficient frequency so that a gradual and smooth view is provided to the driver during the turn.

1. A dynamically adjusting surveillance system comprising:
at least one camera configured to capture a view containing a key region that encompasses a desired view; a monitor; a display interface unit configured to display the key region in the view of the at least one camera on the monitor; an angular sensor configured to detect an orientation of a vehicle, the angular sensor providing an angular position signal; a first processor and memory unit communicating with the angular sensor and with a turn signal switch of the vehicle, the first processor and memory unit receiving the angular position signal and a turn indication signal from the turn signal switch, the first processor and memory unit updating the key region based on the angular position signal and the turn indication signal, the first processor and memory unit providing the updated key region to the display interface unit; wherein the display interface unit displays the updated key region in the view of the monitor.
