MOVABLE APPARATUS AND INSTALLATION METHOD FOR IMAGING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240114253 titled 'MOVABLE APPARATUS AND INSTALLATION METHOD FOR IMAGING DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The imaging device in this patent application is designed to capture a wide range of images with high resolution using a movable apparatus. The device includes an optical system that creates an optical image with a low resolution region near the optical axis and a high resolution region outside of this low resolution region on a light reception surface of an imaging element. The imaging element is installed at specific positions for imaging in different directions behind the movable apparatus, including horizontally, left-right horizontally behind a driver seat, and downward.

  • Optical system with low resolution region near optical axis and high resolution region outside
  • Imaging element installed at specific positions for imaging in different directions behind the movable apparatus
