Camera hardware design for dynamic rearview mirror

摘要

An apparatus for capturing an image includes a plurality of lens elements coaxially encompassed within a lens housing. One of the lens elements includes an aspheric lens element having a surface profile configured to enhance a desired region of a captured image. At least one glare-reducing element coaxial with the plurality of lens elements receives light subsequent to the light sequentially passing through each of the lens elements. An imaging chip receives the light subsequent to the light passing through the at least one glare-reducing element. The imaging chip includes a plurality of green, blue and red pixels.

1. Apparatus for capturing an image, comprising:
a plurality of lens elements coaxially encompassed within a lens housing, one of the lens elements including an aspheric lens element having a biconvex surface profile configured to enhance a center region of a captured image, said biconvex surface profile including a first convex aspheric surface and a second convex aspheric surface; at least one glare-reducing element coaxial with the plurality of lens elements and receiving light subsequent to the light sequentially passing through each of the lens elements; a color sensitive imaging chip receiving the light subsequent to the light passing through the at least one glare-reducing element, the color sensitive imaging chip including a plurality of color pixels and an imaging chip, each of the plurality of color pixels adjustable between one of a short-exposure time and a long-exposure time; and an infrared cut-off filter lens element coaxially disposed between the aspheric lens element and the at least one glare-reducing element, the infrared cut-off filter configured to block infrared light within a predetermined range of wavelengths such that color fidelity is maintained in the color sensitive imaging chip.
