    摘要: A method for calibrating a camera of a vehicular vision system includes providing a camera and an image processor at the vehicle. A monoview noncoplanar three dimensional calibration pattern distributed on a semi-sphere is determined via processing of image data captured by the camera. Responsive to determination of the monoview noncoplanar three dimensional calibration pattern distributed on the semi-sphere, extrinsic parameters of the camera and intrinsic parameters of the camera are estimated. The system performs at least one of (i) a linear refinement of the estimated extrinsic parameters and intrinsic parameters and (ii) a non-linear refinement of the estimated extrinsic parameters and intrinsic parameters. Responsive to processing by the image processor of image data captured by the camera, the camera is calibrated at least in part by using the determined monoview noncoplanar three dimensional semi-spherical calibration pattern.

    摘要: A camera for a vision system for a vehicle includes a front housing portion, a lens assembly disposed at the front housing portion and an imager disposed at a circuit element. A planar rigid spacer having uniform thickness is disposed between the lens assembly and the imager. At least a circumferential portion of a front surface of the planar rigid spacer is secured at a portion of the front housing portion and at least a circumferential portion of a rear surface of the planar rigid spacer is secured at one of the imager and the circuit element. The planar rigid spacer accurately spaces the imager from the lens assembly and the predetermined thickness of the planar rigid spacer is selected so that the lens assembly focuses incident light onto the imager.

    摘要: A vehicular radar sensing system includes a radar sensor disposed at a vehicle. The radar sensor includes a waveguide antenna and a printed circuit board (PCB) with an inboard side and an outboard side. A processor is disposed at the inboard side of the PCB and the waveguide antenna is disposed at the outboard side of the PCB. The waveguide antenna is partially disposed within a cavity at the outboard side of the PCB. Radio frequency signals are electrically communicated between the processor and the waveguide antenna through only a portion of the PCB. The waveguide antenna (i) guides the transmitted radio signals from the transmitter to the exterior environment and (ii) guides reflected radio signals from the exterior environment to the receiver.

    摘要: A vehicular radar sensing system includes a radar sensor that includes (i) at least one transmitter that transmits radio signals, and (ii) at least one receiver that receive radio signals. The radar sensor includes a waveguide antenna and a printed circuit board (PCB) with a transmitter pad and a receiver pad. The transmitter transmits radio signals to the transmitter pad, and the receiver receives radio signals from the receiver pad. The PCB includes a ground plane layer and a plurality of conductive elements that at least partially surrounds at least the transmitter pad. The plurality of conductive elements electrically connects the waveguide antenna to the ground plane layer and attaches the PCB to the waveguide antenna. The waveguide antenna (i) guides the transmitted radio signals from the transmitter pad to the exterior environment and (ii) guides reflected radio signals from the exterior environment to the receiver pad.

    摘要: A vehicular sensing system includes at least one MIMO radar sensor disposed at the vehicle and sensing exterior and forward of the vehicle. The at least one MIMO radar sensor includes multiple transmitting antennas and multiple receiving antennas. The transmitting antennas transmit radar signals and the receiving antennas receive radar signals. Radar data captured by the at least one MIMO radar sensor is provided to an electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU includes a processor and, responsive at least in part to processing at the ECU of provided captured radar data and vehicle motion information, determines different types of surfaces sensed by the at least one MIMO radar sensor. Responsive at least in part to processing at the ECU of provided captured radar data, the vehicular sensing system provides an output for at least one driving assist system.
