Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an ultra-wide-angle 8M front-view optical system. Background Art
[0002] In autonomous vehicles, the perception system is mainly composed of sensors such as cameras, millimeter-wave radars, and lidars (optional). As the main environmental perception sensor, the camera plays a very important role. It can achieve 360° comprehensive visual perception, make up for the shortcomings of radar in object recognition, and is the sensor closest to human vision. Therefore, the vehicle-mounted camera is one of the key equipment in the field of autonomous driving. The front-view camera installed on the front windshield is used to realize the visual perception and recognition function of driving. According to the function, it can be divided into the front-view main camera, the front-view narrow-angle camera, and the front-view wide-angle camera. However, the use of three cameras greatly increases the cost of the entire camera module, which is not conducive to market popularization. Among them, the front-view wide-angle camera is mainly used to identify objects at a close distance. It is mainly used in scenes such as urban road conditions and low-speed driving. Its field of view is 120°~150° and the detection distance is about 50m. Therefore, if the ultra-wide-angle 8MP lens is installed on a large scale, this camera can be omitted, thereby reducing costs and increasing market popularity. Utility Model Content
