Abstract

There is increasing interest in the development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs), driven in large part by the need to enhance safety and the driving experience for the occupants of passenger vehicles. Cameras (often multiple cameras) are a critical sensor component of such systems and provide a rich source of information that is often not possible from other sources. This chapter discusses some of the key aspects surrounding the use of cameras in the automotive environment. It covers the key legislative and commercial drivers and technical requirements, before discussing characteristics of fisheye lenses and how these are deployed in typical camera system architectures. The chapter then discusses aspects relating to image and video quality, a topic that has been much studied in consumer applications but only relatively recently considered in the automotive environment. Finally, the application of cameras as a key technology in the evolution of autonomous vehicles is considered.
