Embodiment Construction

[0035] figure 2 An overall image 71 of the vehicle with its entire vehicle surroundings from a bird's-eye view is shown, which is generated by means of the vehicle camera system according to the invention (not shown) according to the first embodiment of the invention and displayed on the display 70 .

[0036] The vehicle camera system according to the invention according to the first embodiment of the invention comprises a plurality of intelligent camera modules which each comprise a highly integrated computing unit for decentralized image processing and image interpretation. The computing unit is integrated either directly on the imaging imager module or as a separate component on the imager circuit board or imager PCB (printed circuit board) or on one or more additional PCBs in the camera module. The computing unit can be implemented, for example, as a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), μC (Microcontroller), ASSP (Application Specific Stan...

Abstract

The invention relates to a vehicle camera system for providing a continuous image of the vehicle surroundings by means of at least one camera which is designed to produce images of the vehicle surroundings. The claimed vehicle camera system comprises at least one local image processing unit, which is associated with the at least one camera and designed to carry out a non-linear transformation of at least one image of the vehicle surroundings, captured by the camera, in at least one partial image which corresponds to a predefined image section of image of the vehicle surroundings. Said claimed vehicle camera system also comprises a central image processing unit which is designed to take over the partial image generated by the at least one local image processing unit by means of the non-linear transformation and to insert it into an image of the vehicle surroundings for producing a continuous overall image of at least one area.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a vehicle camera system and a method for providing images of the surroundings of a vehicle by means of at least one camera. In particular, the invention relates to a vehicle camera system and a method in which a combined, complete image of at least one area of ​​the vehicle's surroundings is provided. The invention also relates to a vehicle with such a vehicle camera system. Background technique [0002] Multi-camera systems for surround-view or top-view displays (Surround-View-Darstellung or Top-View-Darstellung) are known from the prior art, which consist of four wide-angle camera modules and one for image synthesis. The imaging system of the central computing unit. figure 1 A vehicle 10 is shown with a multi-camera system 20 for a surround-view display with four cameras 30 , 40 , 50 , 60 and a central processing unit (control unit) 90 . Usually, a front camera 30 is integrated in the radiator grille, a side camera 40 , 50...
