A car front view camera system

Abstract

The invention discloses a forward looking image pickup system for an automobile, which is characterized in that a control unit controls two cameras to carry out camera-assisted running while receiving speed signals of a wheel speed sensor; the cameras are arranged at the front end of the automobile; the control unit drives a display screen in the front of the automobile to display images shot by the cameras. Through the adoption of the structure, the forward looking image pickup system has the advantages that 1. pictures shot by the cameras on two sides of the head of the automobile can be displayed automatically in the LCD when the automobile is in a place full of passersby or vehicles, so as to avoid the passersby and the vehicles; out-of-sight areas in front of the head of the automobile also can be displayed through shot images when the automobile turns or parks, so as not to knock against obstacles; 2. functions of a travelling recorder can be performed; 3. the power consumption of the system is very low, the display area is large, and the displayed value is clear.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the manufacture of automobiles, in particular to an automobile front view camera system. Background technique [0002] Drivers often find the following situations when driving: 1. The vision on both sides of the front of the car is easily blocked by the A-pillars. This is an unavoidable problem in the design of the car body. Different, but blind spots are inevitable. When a car is driving in an area where pedestrians gather or in a downtown area, the car will usually drive at a slow speed. Due to the existence of blind spots, the driver cannot always see the pedestrians or vehicles on both sides of the front of the car clearly; The steering wheel of domestic cars is generally on the left. When the car turns left, there is a blind spot on the right side of the front bumper, and the relative position between the obstacle on the right front and the front of the car cannot be seen. It is difficult for inexperienced drivers to accur...

[0002] Drivers often find the following situations when driving: 1. The vision on both sides of the front of the car is easily blocked by the A-pillars. This is an unavoidable problem in the design of the car body. Different, but blind spots are inevitable. When a car is driving in an area where pedestrians gather or in a downtown area, the car will usually drive at a slow speed. Due to the existence of blind spots, the driver cannot always see the pedestrians or vehicles on both sides of the front of the car clearly; The steering wheel of domestic cars is generally on the left. When the car turns left, there is a blind spot on the right side of the front bumper, and the relative position between the obstacle on the right front and the front of the car cannot be seen. It is difficult for inexperienced drivers to accurately estimate the distance. It is easier to scratch the car while driving; third, when encountering a traffic accident, because the accident process cannot be restored, it is usually difficult to distinguish the responsibility for the accident, especially when the driver of the other party is mainly responsible, but the other party does not admit it.
