Monitoring of the close proximity around a commercial vehicle

摘要

A system for capturing and displaying not directly-viewable spaces near a vehicle includes an apparatus for image capturing and an apparatus for image display. The apparatus for image capturing captures at least two arbitrary points Q and R. A ground plane is spanned by the Cartesian coordinates xv and yv, and xv lies in the vehicle middle plane. The display displays an image that includes an image Q′ of the point Q and an image R′ of the point R on a display plane spanned by the Cartesian coordinates xv′ and yv′, with xv′ lying on a reproduction of the vehicle middle plane. A projection QR, xv of the vector QR onto xv and a projection Q′R′, xv′ of a vector Q′R′ onto xv′ have the same direction, and a projection QR, yv of the vector QR onto yv and a projection Q′R′, yv′ of a vector Q′R′ onto yv′ have the same direction.

1. An electronic viewing system for capturing and displaying a subspace (U) of a not directly-viewable space in the surroundings of a commercial vehicle on a ground plane, including:
an apparatus for image capturing, comprising at least one unit for imaging the subspace (U), and an apparatus, which is disposed in an interior of the vehicle, for image display for displaying a reproduction of the subspace (U), the apparatus for image display including at least one unit for image display, wherein the apparatus for image capturing captures at least one point set (P) ε (U), which includes two arbitrary points (Q) and (R), and wherein the at least one point set (P) results from the cross-section of the ground plane with the subspace (U) and wherein the ground plane is spanned by Cartesian coordinates xv and yv and wherein xv lies in a vehicle middle longitudinal axis, wherein the apparatus for image capturing displays an image (P′) of the point set (P) in, an image plane which includes the image (Q′) of the point (Q) and the image (R′) of the point (R) and wherein the image plane is spanned by Cartesian coordinates xv′ and yv′ and wherein xv′ lies on the a reproduction of the vehicle middle longitudinal axis in the image plane, whereina projection QR, xv of a vector QR on the ground plane onto xv and a projection Q′R′, xv′ of a vector Q′R′ on the image plane onto xv′ have a same first direction, and wherein a projection QR, yv of a vector QR on the ground plane onto yv and a projection Q′R′ , yv′ of a vector Q′R′ on the image plane onto yv′ have a same second direction.
