    摘要: The present invention provides a calibration apparatus, system and method for an in-vehicle camera. The calibration apparatus for an in-vehicle camera includes: a body, where at least one distinctive mark arranged at intervals along a first direction and at least one heating member arranged at intervals along a second direction are disposed on the body. The distinctive mark is configured to be recognized by a common camera, and the heating member is configured to generate heat so as to be recognized by an infrared camera. According to the calibration apparatus, system and method for an in-vehicle camera provided in the present invention, during calibration, a common camera can recognize the distinctive mark, and therefore, the common camera can be calibrated; the heating member may generate heat so as to be recognized by an infrared camera, and therefore, the infrared camera is calibrated. In this way, the common camera and the infrared camera can be calibrated simultaneously in one calibration operation; the operation is simple and convenient.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for controlling an illuminator illuminating a scene monitored by a camera. The method comprising: determining (S402, S404) whether an object of interest is present in the scene; upon at least one object of interest being determined to be present in the scene, setting (S408) a saturation threshold to a first value; or upon no object of interest being determined to be present in the scene, setting (S410) the saturation threshold to a second value being lower than the first value. The method further comprises identifying (S412) saturated pixels in an image of the scene captured by the camera; determining (S414) a ratio between a saturated area comprising the saturated pixels and a total area of the image; and upon the ratio being above the saturation threshold, decreasing (S418) a degree of illumination from the illuminator.

    摘要: An imaging device (1) includes a control device (5) and an image sensor (400) having a plurality of photodiodes. Each photodiode includes a p-epi (112) commonly formed to the plural photodiodes, an n-type semiconductor region (112) separated from an adjacent photodiode by a channel stopper (115), a p + region (123) covering the n-type semiconductor region (112) in contact with the channel stopper (115), and an internal electrode layer (113) interposed between the p-epi (112) and the n-type semiconductor region (112). The control device (5) supplies GND (=OV) and Vsub of a negative voltage to the channel stopper (115) and the p-epi (112), respectively.

    摘要: A solid-state imaging device (100) includes: pixels (20) arranged in a matrix on a semiconductor substrate. Each of the pixels (20) includes: a photoelectric converter (1) that converts received light into a signal charge; at least one read gate (6) that reads the signal charge from the photoelectric converter (1); charge accumulators (2) that each accumulate the signal charge read by the at least one read gate (6); and a charge holder (10) that receives, from one of the charge accumulators (2), transfer of the signal charge accumulated in the charge accumulator (2), holds the signal charge, and transfers, to one of the charge accumulators (2), the signal charge held, each of the charge accumulators (2) includes a part of a transfer channel (4) and a part of a transfer electrode (5) overlapping with the part of the transfer channel in a planar view of the semiconductor substrate, and the transfer channel (4) per one pixel comprises transfer channels.
