Abstract:
A vehicle control system includes a light-receiving section which has a plurality of filters having different pass bands, and a plurality of light-receiving elements, each of which receives incident light via any one of the filters; an image data generation section which, when receiving general image data which is an output of the light-receiving section, extracts outputs of the light-receiving elements correlated to the filters to generate discrete image data, which is image data for each of the filters; an image data processing section which detects at least one object, based on the discrete image data generated by the image data generation section or composite image data generated by combining the discrete image data; and a vehicle control section which performs vehicle control, according to the object detected by the image data processing section.
Abstract:
An in-vehicle camera is provide which has a case and a lens, and which is attached in a vehicle interior so that the lens is exposed at a top face of the case and the top face is opposed to a windshield or another window. The top face has an angular shape bent at a ridge line passing through the top face. The lens is positioned in the vicinity of the ridge line. The in-vehicle camera includes a hood attached to a front portion of the case, the front portion being positioned at a front side of the case with respect to the lens.
Abstract:
A 4B5B encoder converts an inputted 4-bit data into a pattern of a 5-bit data in which (i) the number of bits of consecutive “0” data values is permitted to be maximum two, and, simultaneously, (ii) maximum one bit of head end two bits is permitted to have a “0” data value and maximum one bit of tail end two bits is permitted to have a “0” data value. A 5N-bit command encoder converts a command into a command pattern in which the number of bits contained in consecutive “0” data values is permitted to be maximum two. The data after the conversion and the command after the conversion are converted into NRZI codes by an NRZI encoder.
Abstract:
A recognition object detecting apparatus is provided which includes an imaging unit which generates image data representing a taken image, and a detection unit which detects a recognition object from the image represented by the image data. The imaging unit has a characteristic in which a relation between luminance and output pixel values varies depending on a luminance range. The detection unit binarizes the output pixel values of the image represented by the image data by using a plurality of threshold values to generate a plurality of binary images, and detects the recognition object based on the plurality of binary images.
