Abstract: A camera module, which is mounted on an inside of a front windshield of a vehicle and configured to image an external environment of the vehicle, includes multiple lens units on which an optical image of the external environment is incident, individually, and an imaging system to generate an outside image of the external environment by imaging through each of the lens units, individually.

Abstract: A vehicular camera apparatus includes a lens and a hood provided below the lens. The hood includes a rib structure and a hole structure. The rib structure is constituted of ribs that each protrude upward from a bottom wall of the hood and are arrayed in an optical axis direction of the lens. Each of the ribs has a front surface on the opposite side to the lens and a rear surface on the lens side. The front surface makes an acute angle with an imaginary plane that contains an upper surface of the bottom wall. The rear surface makes an obtuse angle with the imaginary plane. The hole structure is constituted of holes formed in the bottom wall. Each of the holes is formed along a corresponding one of the ribs and includes, at least, a projection of the front surface of the corresponding rib on the imaginary plane.

Abstract: A camera apparatus is provided. A bracket is fixed to a windshield of a vehicle. A camera case is fixed to the bracket. A camera module is fixed to the camera case and includes a lens. The camera apparatus detects a position of an object present ahead of the vehicle. The object includes a lane and another vehicle. Information on the object acquired by the camera apparatus is used for at least one of lane departure alarm control, light control, and collision avoidance control. The camera apparatus further includes an adjustment structure for completing adjustment of an inclination angle in a vertical direction of an optical axis of the lens with respect to the windshield by the time when the camera case is completely fixed to the bracket.
