Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating a driver assistance system (2) of a motor vehicle (1), in which a rear image of an environmental region (11, 12, 14) of the motor vehicle (1) located substantially next to and/or behind the motor vehicle (1) is captured by at least one camera (3, 4) of the driver assistance system (2), the camera being provided on the vehicle, wherein at least one road marking (19) of a roadway (17) is recognized in the environmental region (11, 12, 14) based on the captured rear image.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating a camera assembly, in which a first camera and a second camera capture images (36, 42). Respective fields of view of the two cameras overlap at least in a partial region (24). At least in an image (36) captured by the first camera, at least one contamination region (38) including a plurality of pixels is detected within the partial region (24). Thereupon, data values specifying the respective transparency of the pixels in the at least one contamination region (38) are varied with respect to respective reference values of the transparency, wherein these reference values increase in the partial region (24) towards an edge (28) of the respective image upon superimposition of the images. Furthermore, the invention relates to a camera assembly.
Abstract:
A communication assembly may include a first antenna. The communication assembly may further include a housing that houses the first antenna and an electronics enclosure. The housing may include a bottom that may be disposed on a fuselage of a vehicle. The electronics enclosure may include a radio frequency module and a camera module. The electronics enclosure may transmit heat to the fuselage of the vehicle by the bottom of the housing.
Abstract:
A camera monitor system for a vehicle, including a single camera disposed on a rear of the vehicle comprising a field of view (FoV), a processor configured to process image data received by the single camera to obtain an image of a vehicle surrounding, and an output device configured to display the image of the vehicle surrounding. The FoV is a rearview comprising a horizontal FoV angle ranging from 50° to 150.
Abstract:
A method for detecting an object in an environmental region of a motor vehicle by a camera system of the motor vehicle is disclosed. A first image of the environmental region is provided by a camera of the camera system with illumination of the environmental region using a light source of the motor vehicle such that a shadow of the object caused by the illumination is depicted in the first image. A second image of the environmental region is also provided by the camera in an inactive state of the light source, in which the illumination is omitted. Then, a subtraction image is generated by subtracting one of the images from the other image by an image processing device of the camera system. Then, an edge image is generated from the subtraction image, and the object is detected based on edges of the edge image by the image processing device.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for operating a driver assistance device (2) in a motor vehicle (1), in which an image (15) of an environmental region (12) of the motor vehicle (1) is captured by means of a camera (11) of the driver assistance device (2) and in addition sensor data is captured to the environmental region (12) by means of a sensor (3 to 6) different from the camera (11), wherein an object (16) located in the environmental region (12) is identified in the image (15) by means of an electronic computing device of the driver assistance device (2) and the sensor data of the sensor (3 to 6) is used for identifying the object (16) in the image (15).

Abstract:
A housing for at least one electronic circuit includes a housing portion with an inner surface. The housing includes a heat spreader component which is connected to the inner surface of the housing portion. The heat spreader component includes a contact region connected to an electronic component of the at least one electronic circuit. The heat spreader component includes a material with a thermal conductivity greater than the housing portion. The heat spreader component has a star-like shape including an inner contact region for connecting the electronic component to arms extending from the inner contact region.
Abstract:
According to a method for determining a trailer orientation, an image (13) depicting a component (14) of the trailer (12) is generated by means of a camera system (15). Predetermined first and second reference structures (16, 18) are identified based on the image (13). The trailer orientation is determined by means of a computing unit (17) depending on the reference structures (16, 18).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a camera for a motor vehicle. The camera includes a lens module, a lens holder body, which is mechanically connected to the lens module, and an electrical heater element for heating the lens module. The heater element is arranged at a surface of the lens holder body facing away from the lens module. The heater element is thermally connected to the lens module via the lens holder body.
