Problems solved by technology

However, the use of two separate cameras has proven to be relatively disadvantageous, since two different components have to be installed in the motor vehicle
On the one hand, this increases the manufacturing costs of the motor vehicle; on the other hand, the two separate cameras also require a relatively large installation space, which is only available in a restricted manner in motor vehicles
However, a key disadvantage is that the possibilities for providing combined images such as stereoscopic images are limited due to the different arrangements of the cameras - on the one hand outside the interior and on the other hand in the interior

Embodiment Construction

[0022] figure 1 The illustrated image capture device 1 is formed for use in a motor vehicle. The image capture device 1 may for example be mounted on the front of the vehicle, for example on the front bumper. The image capture device 1 includes an image sensor 2 and a thermal infrared sensor 3 , which are accommodated in a common chip package 4 . The image sensor 2 is, for example, a CMOS sensor or a CCD sensor. The image sensor 2 may capture light in the visible spectral range (having a wavelength of, for example, 300 nm to 900 nm), and provide photoimaging image data depending on the captured visible light. In contrast, the thermal infrared sensor 3 is formed to capture thermal radiation in the far infrared range (having a wavelength of, for example, 3 μm to 15 μm), and provides thermal imaging image data depending on the captured thermal radiation.

[0023] In an embodiment, the shared chip package 4 is a CSP (Chip Scale Package) or TSV (Through-Silicon Via) package. A ...

Abstract

The invention relates to an image capturing device (1) for a motor vehicle, including an image sensor (2) formed for capturing light in the visible spectral range and for providing photographic image data, and including a thermal infrared sensor (3) formed for capturing thermal radiation in the far infrared range and for providing thermographic image data, wherein the image sensor (2) and the thermal infrared sensor (3) are integrated in a common chip package (4).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an image capture device for a motor vehicle comprising an image sensor and a thermal infrared sensor. Image sensors are formed to capture light in the visible spectral range and provide photoimaging image data. Infrared sensors are formed to capture thermal radiation in the far infrared range and to provide thermal imaging image data. Furthermore, the invention relates to a motor vehicle having such an image capture device. Background technique [0002] Front cameras for motor vehicles already exist in the prior art. Such front cameras are commonly used in advanced driver assistance systems for various applications, such as for example for LDW (Road Departure Warning) applications, for ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) applications, for AEC (Automatic Emergency Control) applications Wait. Typically, the front camera includes a color sensitive image sensor (eg CMOS) capable of capturing light in the visible spectral range and th...
