Camera-based driver support systems camera
The video camera for the lane departure warning installed in the mirror base of the inside mirror monitors the near field of the vehicle. The video camera records the roadway up to approx. 40 metres in front of the vehicle and up to approx. 5 metres to the right and left at the sides of the vehicle. Image data are routed over a LVDS data line to the KAFAS control unit and evaluated. The control unit uses image processing to search in the imagery recorded by the video camera for possible existing lane and road markings.
The camera is connected to the KAFAS control unit by means of a 10-pin plug connection and shielding.

The KAFAS camera heating is located on the edge of the KAFAS camera's field of view. The heating is intended to prevent the windscreen in front of the KAFAS camera from fogging over and freezing. This increases the availability of the camera-based driver support systems camera during cold weather.
