IMAGE PROCESSOR FOR VEHICLES

摘要

A camera 17 captures an image by applying for every frame camera control values that are computed for a white line detection, and captures the image by applying for every frame camera control values that are computed for a three-dimensional object detection. The captured frame is transmitted to a stereo ECU 20 by adding thereto a frame counter value and the camera control values that were applied when capturing the image, and the stereo ECU 20 distinguishes the frame for white line from the frame for three-dimensional object depending on the added frame counter value. Based on the distinguished frame, the stereo ECU 20 carries out the white line detection or the three-dimensional object detection, computes the camera control values for the white line or the camera control values for the three-dimensional object, and transmits the computed camera control values to the camera 17.
