[0003] In order to realize high-level active safety technology and automatic driving technology, a high-performance, high-stability, small-size vehicle-mounted camera module is needed in the market.

However, the current conventional fisheye lens has a field of view angle less than 180°, and the surround view system constructed by using the conventional lens has a large limitation on the selection of the mounting position in the actual mounting process, and has a small allowable error for realizing the panoramic function. Once the installation position deviates, the image after panoramic splicing will have a blind area due to the incomplete display of the environmental information around the vehicle. Therefore, the high-performance, high-stability, small-size vehicle-mounted camera module with a larger field of view angle has a positive promoting significance for the current booming automobile ADAS market in China.
