摘要:
An image processing system that detects foreign matter on a glass window of a vehicle and objects in front of the vehicle. The system includes an image processor, a first lamp, and a second lamp. On/off control of the first and second lamps is controlled by the image processor. Light from the first lamp is reflected from the outer sauce of the glass when raindrops are present on the outside of the glass. Light from the second lamp is reflected from the inner surface of the glass when moisture is present on the inside of the glass. Any reflected light goes through a lens and an optical filter with prescribed optical characteristics to an image device. The lens is focused to a point beyond the window so that the image processor an also detect objects in front of the vehicle.

摘要:
An image processing system which detects foreign matter on window of a vehicle with high reliability. The system includes an image processor, a first lamp, and a second lamp and when to turn on the first and second lamps is controlled by the image processor. Light from the first lamp passes through the glass. If there are raindrops on the outer surface of the glass, light is reflected by raindrops and light from the second lamp is reflected by a surface of the glass and such reflected light goes through a lens and an optical filter with prescribed optical characteristics to an imaging device.

A camera apparatus for vehicles including an imaging element and a lens comprises a gradation generation unit for stepwise changing the light amount reaching a whole or part of the imaging element. By this, a gradation region is formed on the imaging element and it absorbs assembling errors during manufacturing and positional shifts attributed to a road surface slope or the like. Even when an inverse light state is caused, it is possible to improve the image processing performance with an ecconomical configuration.

摘要:
According to a conventional technique, first, the positional relation between a lens and an imaging element is kept at each of left and right camera units, adjustment is made so as to eliminate the rotation-direction deviation of an imaging element from one surface of a member to which a lens and an imaging element are to be attached before fixing, and then that camera unit is attached to a reference member to thereby constitute a stereo camera. However, although this method can eliminate a mounting position deviation when left and right camera units only are taken into consideration, a problem is posed that deviation again occurs due to poor machining precision and assembly precision at the mounting surface between a camera unit and a member when a camera unit is mounted to a stay. According to this invention, mounting surfaces for mounting left and right imaging elements to a stay are provided to directly position left and right imaging elements to the stay, whereby built-up tolerance between components is reduced and the positional mounting precision between imaging elements is improved.

Vehicle-mounted camera device includes first imaging unit, second imaging unit, image control unit for outputting imaging timing signals for controlling imaging timings of first imaging unit and second imaging unit to the first imaging unit and the second imaging unit, and outputting transmission timing control signals for controlling transmission timings of signals output from the first imaging unit and the second imaging unit to the first imaging unit and the second imaging unit, and an image processing unit for performing an image processing on the signals output from the first imaging unit and the second imaging unit. Image control unit temporarily offsets a timing of outputting the signal from the first imaging unit to the image processing unit from a timing of outputting the signal from the second imaging unit to the image processing unit based on the transmission timing control signals.
