Rearview imaging systems for vehicle

摘要

A rearview imaging system for a vehicle includes at least one video camera mounted at the rear of the vehicle for providing a wide angle horizontal field of view (FoV) rearwardly of the vehicle, and a display device in the vehicle at a position viewable by the driver. A video processor subdivides the camera FoV into three horizontally disposed sub-FOVs and displaying said sub-FoVs on visually separated side-by-side regions of the display device screen. The horizontal position and/or extent of at least one sub-FoV is variable as a function of the motion of the vehicle.

主权项

1. A rearview imaging system for a vehicle, comprising:
at least one video camera mounted on the vehicle for continuously providing a video signal of images captured with a wide angle horizontal field of view (FoV), and pointing in a rearward direction of the vehicle, a display device configured to generate one or more real-time displays, viewable by a driver, of the images captured by the at least one video camera, and a video processor configured to process the video signal, in response to detecting that the vehicle is reversing and turning in a turn direction, by performing:
automatically digitally adjusting the video signal of images that is captured with the FoV, to cause images encoded in the video signal, which are displayed on at least one of the one or more real-time displays, to rotate horizontally in the turn direction.
