PERCEPTION CAMERA WITH ROAD SURFACE GLARE REDUCTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240019720 titled 'PERCEPTION CAMERA WITH ROAD SURFACE GLARE REDUCTION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a perception system for a motor vehicle that includes a camera with a lens and an imaging sensor. The camera captures incident light from the field of view, which includes a road surface. The imaging sensor has a photosensitive surface that captures the incident light focused from the field of view. A portion of the imaging surface area is specifically configured to capture an image of the road. Additionally, a first polarizer array is arranged across this portion of the imaging surface area to reduce glare from the road surface.

  • The perception system includes a camera with a lens and an imaging sensor.
  • The camera captures incident light from the field of view, which includes a road surface.
  • The imaging sensor has a photosensitive surface area that captures the incident light focused from the field of view.
  • A specific portion of the imaging surface area is dedicated to capturing an image of the road.
  • A first polarizer array is used to reduce glare from the road surface.

Potential Applications:

  • This perception system can be used in motor vehicles to enhance the vision of the driver and improve road safety.
  • It can be integrated into autonomous vehicles to provide accurate and reliable road surface information for navigation and obstacle detection.

Problems Solved:

  • Glare from the road surface can impair the visibility of the driver or the accuracy of sensors in autonomous vehicles. The first polarizer array reduces this glare, improving visibility and sensor performance.

Benefits:

  • Improved visibility for drivers, especially in challenging lighting conditions.
  • Enhanced accuracy and reliability of road surface information for autonomous vehicles.
  • Increased safety on the road by reducing the impact of glare on driver visibility and sensor performance.


Original Abstract Submitted

a perception system for a motor vehicle includes a camera with a lens having a field of view and configured to focus incident light from the field of view. the field of view includes a road having a road surface. the perception system also includes an imaging sensor arranged in the camera. the imaging sensor has a photosensitive surface defined by an imaging surface area configured to capture the incident light focused from the field of view. a first portion of the imaging surface area is configured to capture an image of the road. the perception system further includes a first polarizer array arranged across the first portion of the imaging surface area and configured to reduce glare from the road surface.
