DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE OF VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17742259 titled 'DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE OF VEHICLE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a device and method for controlling the image of a vehicle captured by a camera that does not have an image signal processor (ISP) built-in. The system includes a communication device, a camera device, and two image controllers with ISPs.
- The communication device receives information about the vehicle's operation mode from the vehicle system.
- The camera device, without a built-in ISP, captures an image of the surrounding region of the vehicle.
- The camera device then transmits the captured image to the first image controller.
- The first image controller, equipped with a first ISP, performs image processing on the captured image.
- The first image controller shares the processed image with the second image controller, which also has an ISP for image processing.
- Depending on the vehicle's operation mode, either the first or second image controller has control over the camera device.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Automotive industry: This technology can be used in vehicles for various purposes, such as parking assistance, collision avoidance, and autonomous driving systems.
- Surveillance systems: The device and method can be applied to surveillance cameras to enhance image processing capabilities and improve overall surveillance performance.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Lack of ISP in the camera device: Many cameras used in vehicles or surveillance systems do not have built-in ISPs, limiting their image processing capabilities. This technology solves this problem by providing external image controllers with ISPs.
- Efficient image processing: By sharing the image processing workload between two image controllers, the system can perform image processing tasks more efficiently, ensuring real-time processing and reducing latency.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved image quality: The use of image controllers with ISPs enhances the image processing capabilities, resulting in improved image quality and clarity.
- Flexibility in control: The system allows for the control of the camera device to be alternated between the two image controllers based on the vehicle's operation mode, providing flexibility and adaptability.
- Enhanced functionality: By enabling image processing on a camera without a built-in ISP, the technology expands the range of applications and functionalities that can be achieved in vehicles and surveillance systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
A device and a method are provided for controlling an image of a vehicle for an image of a vehicle camera that does not have a built-in image signal processor (ISP). A communication device receives information on an operation mode of the vehicle from a vehicle system and a camera device that does not have a built-in ISP obtains an image of a surrounding region of the vehicle, and transmits the image of the surrounding region to a first image controller. The first image controller having a first ISP for performing image processing shares the image of the surrounding region with a second image controller having a second ISP for performing image processing. The first image controller and the second image controller alternatively have a control right for the camera device depending on the operation mode of the vehicle.
