AI Technical Summary
Conventional rear-view mirror systems in vehicles require mechanical or manual adjustments to change the field of view, which can be costly, complex, and prone to damage, and do not effectively reduce the blind spot zone when drivers need to move their head to gain a larger view, especially during overtaking maneuvers.
A camera monitoring system (CMS) that adjusts the field of view of electronic rear-view mirrors based on the driver's head or body movements without mechanical actuation, using sensors like ultrasound, image, Time of Flight, or radar to detect gestures and adjust the displayed image region accordingly, allowing for improved visibility of the exterior scene without touching the display.
Enables the driver to adjust the field of view without mechanical components, reducing the blind spot zone and enhancing visibility during maneuvers like overtaking by using gesture detection to change the displayed image region dynamically, maintaining a constant aperture angle and providing customizable sensitivity settings for user preference.
