Rear-view multi-functional camera system with three-dimensional data analysis features

摘要

A rear-viewing camera system for a vehicle is described. The rear-viewing system includes a first camera and a second camera. The first and second cameras are positioned with partially overlapping fields of view. An electronic control unit is configured to receive image data from the cameras and generated three-dimensional data for the overlapping portion of the fields of view. The electronic control unit then analyzes the movement of vehicles within the overlapping field of view based on the three-dimensional data. Movement of vehicles in the non-overlapping fields of view is analyzed based on two-dimensional image data from either the first camera or the second camera.

1. A rear-view camera system for a vehicle, the rear-view camera system comprising:
a first camera positioned with a first field of view; a second camera positioned with a second field of view, the second view of view partially overlapping with the first field of view; an electronic control unit configured to
receive image data from the first camera,receive image data from the second camera,generate three-dimensional data regarding objects detected in a portion of the second field of view that overlaps with the first field of view, the three-dimensional data being generated based on the image data from the first camera and the image data from the second camera,analyze movement, relative to the vehicle, of an object in the portion of the second field of view that overlaps with the first field of view based on the three-dimensional data,analyze movement, relative to the vehicle, of an object in a portion of the first field of view that does not overlap with the second field of view based on two-dimensional data from the first camera, andanalyze movement, relative to the vehicle, of an object in a portion of the second field of view that does not overlap with the first field of view based on two-dimensional data from the second camera.
