Multi-camera driver assistance system
Disclosed herein is a multi-camera driver assistance system. The system includes a plurality of cameras which dispose at different positions of a vehicle to capture images of a vicinity of the vehicle; an image processing unit which generates a virtual view with respect to a predetermined projection surface based on the images; and a display device which displays the virtual view, wherein the predetermined projection surface includes a slanted projection surfaces which are located at lateral sides of the vehicle.
1. A vision system for a vehicle, the vision system comprising:
a camera operable to be disposed at the vehicle so as to have a field of view exterior of the vehicle, the camera configured to capture an image data; and
an image processor configured to process the image data captured by the camera,
wherein the image processor is configured to, responsive at least in part to image processing of image data, output a first virtual view including a first flat projection surface extending from the vehicle by a first distance and a first slanted projection surface slanted by a first angle relative to the first flat projection surface and positioned at the first distance from the vehicle, and
the image processor is configured to, in response to a user input, output a second virtual view including a second flat projection surface extending from the vehicle by a second distance, which is greater than the first distance, and a second slanted projection surface positioned at the second distance from the vehicle and slanted by a second angle, which is greater than the first angle, relative to the second flat projection surface.
2. A vision system for a vehicle, the vision system comprising:
a camera operable to be disposed at the vehicle so as to have a field of view exterior of the vehicle, the camera configured to capture an image data; and
an image processor configured to process the image data captured by the camera,
wherein the image processor is configured to, responsive at least in part to image processing of image data, output a first virtual view including a first flat projection surface extending from the vehicle by a first distance and a first slanted projection surface slanted by a first angle relative to the first flat projection surface and positioned at the first distance from the vehicle, and
the image processor is configured to, in response to a user input, output a second virtual view including a second flat projection surface extending from the vehicle by a second distance, which is less than the first distance, and a second slanted projection surface positioned at the second distance and slanted by a second angle, which is less than the first angle, relative to the second flat projection surface.
3. The vision system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first virtual view and the second virtual view is displayed on a display disposed at the vehicle.
4. A controlling method of a vision system for a vehicle, the method comprising:
capturing, by a camera operable to be disposed at the vehicle so as to have a field of view exterior of the vehicle, an image data;
processing, by an image processor, the image data captured by the camera;
responsive at least in part to image processing of image data, outputting a first virtual view including a first flat projection surface extending from the vehicle by a first distance and a first slanted projection surface slanted by a first angle relative to the first flat projection surface and positioned at the first distance from the vehicle; and
in response to a user input, outputting a second virtual view including a second flat projection surface extending from the vehicle by a second distance, which is greater than the first distance, and a second slanted projection surface slanted by a second angle, which is greater than the first angle, relative to the second flat projection surface and positioned at the second distance from the vehicle.
5. A controlling method of a vision system for a vehicle, the method comprising:
capturing, by a camera operable to be disposed at the vehicle so as to have a field of view exterior of the vehicle, an image data;
processing, by an image processor, the image data captured by the camera;
responsive at least in part to image processing of image data, outputting a first virtual view including a first flat projection surface extending from the vehicle by a first distance and a first slanted projection surface slanted by a first angle relative to the first flat projection surface and positioned at the first distance from the vehicle; and
in response to a user input outputting a second virtual view including a second flat projection surface extending from the vehicle by a second distance, which is less than the first distance, and a second slanted projection surface positioned at the second distance and slanted by a second angle, which is less than the first angle, relative to the second flat projection surface.
6. The controlling method of claim 4 , further comprising displaying at least one of the first virtual view and the second virtual view.
7. The vision system of claim 2 , wherein at least one of the first virtual view and the second virtual view is displayed on a display disposed at the vehicle.
8. The controlling method of claim 5 , further comprising displaying at least one of the first virtual view and the second virtual view.
