发明名称 VEHICLE VISION SYSTEM UTILIZING CAMERA SYNCHRONIZATION
摘要 A vehicular vision system includes a plurality of cameras disposed at the vehicle and having respective fields of view exterior of the vehicle and being operable to capture frames of image data. Image data captured by each of the first camera is provided to an ECU via a respective ETHERNET link from the respective camera to the ECU. Control signals controlling operation of each camera are provided from the ECU to the respective camera via the respective ETHERNET link. Each camera receives from the ECU via the respective ETHERNET link a camera control signal that regulates timing of the respective camera to be synchronous with reference timing of the ECU. Regulation of timing of each camera includes starting the respective camera synchronous to the ECU reference timing and holding the respective camera synchronous to the ECU reference timing.

主权项 1. A vehicular vision system, said vehicular vision system comprising: a plurality of cameras disposed at a vehicle equipped with said vision system; wherein said plurality of cameras comprises at least a first camera, a second camera, a third camera and a fourth camera; each of said first camera, said second camera, said third camera and said fourth camera having a respective field of view exterior of the equipped vehicle; each of said first camera, said second camera, said third camera and said fourth camera being operable to capture frames of image data; an electronics control unit (ECU); wherein image data captured by said first camera is provided to the ECU via a first ETHERNET link from said first camera to the ECU; wherein image data captured by said second camera is provided to the ECU via a second ETHERNET link from said second camera to the ECU; wherein image data captured by said third camera is provided to the ECU via a third ETHERNET link from said third camera to the ECU; wherein image data captured by said fourth camera is provided to the ECU via a fourth ETHERNET link from said fourth camera to the ECU; wherein control signals controlling operation of said first camera are provided from the ECU to said first camera via said first ETHERNET link; wherein control signals controlling operation of said second camera are provided from the ECU to said second camera via said second ETHERNET link; wherein control signals controlling operation of said third camera are provided from the ECU to said third camera via said third ETHERNET link; wherein control signals controlling operation of said fourth camera are provided from the ECU to said fourth camera via said second fourth ETHERNET link; wherein said first camera receives from the ECU via said first ETHERNET link a first camera control signal that regulates timing of said first camera to be synchronous with reference timing of the ECU; wherein regulation of timing of said first camera comprises starting said first camera synchronous to the ECU reference timing and holding said first camera synchronous to the ECU reference timing; wherein said second camera receives from the ECU via said second ETHERNET link a second camera control signal that regulates timing of said second camera to be synchronous with reference timing of the ECU; wherein regulation of timing of said second camera comprises starting said second camera synchronous to the ECU reference timing and holding said second camera synchronous to the ECU reference timing; wherein said third camera receives from the ECU via said third ETHERNET link a third camera control signal that regulates timing of said third camera to be synchronous with reference timing of the ECU; wherein regulation of timing of said third camera comprises starting said third camera synchronous to the ECU reference timing and holding said third camera synchronous to the ECU reference timing; wherein said fourth camera receives from the ECU via said fourth ETHERNET link a fourth camera control signal that regulates timing of said fourth camera to be synchronous with reference timing of the ECU; and wherein regulation of timing of said fourth camera comprises starting said fourth camera synchronous to the ECU reference timing and holding said fourth camera synchronous to the ECU reference timing.
