Task
The reversing camera control unit with color image camera is an optical parking assistance system. The color camera records the area behind the vehicle at an angle of approx. 180°. The pictures taken are processed appropriately for display in the central display and are electronically corrected for distortion by the reversing camera control unit. The reversing camera control unit also generates dynamic guide lines which represent the driving path in the images from the color picture camera.
The reversing camera control unit sends the processed pictures via a high speed video link (HSVL) interface to the following control unit for display in the central display:
- Head unit/instrument cluster control unit
- Head unit
The reversing camera control unit is connected to the network architecture of the vehicle via CAN.
To implement the functions, the reversing camera control unit evaluates the following information:
- Status of reverse gear
- Service mode request
- Displayed vehicle speed
- Wheel angle
The reversing camera control unit evaluates these input factors and sends the following information and requests:
- Picture data
- Requests for picture output in central display
The reversing camera control unit calibrates the color picture camera automatically.
Changes made to the position of the installed camera or caused by bodies that extend into the angle of vision of the camera may mean that the system can no longer function correctly under certain circumstances.
This may cause people, animals or objects not to be seen in the area in which you are maneuvering. For this reason, no modifications may be made in the area of the camera.
