Abstract: Techniques for separating an image into a forward sweeping image and a backward sweeping image are disclosed. A lookup table maps MEMS projection positions on a display with corresponding pixel positions in an image generated by a camera facing the display. The lookup table is used to associate a first set of pixel positions in the image with a forward scanning sweep of the MEMS system. The lookup table is also used to associate a second set of pixel positions in the image with a backward scanning sweep of the MEMS system. The first and second sets of pixel positions are used to generate the forward sweeping image and the backward sweeping image, respectively. These images can then be used to calibrate the MEMS system to compensate for bi-phase.

Abstract: Method of detecting and overcoming degradation of image quality during a weather event and activation of windshield wipers. The method takes a high-contrast region of interest (ROI) of an image captured by a camera of a vehicle vision system, applies a Laplacian Operator that focuses on the pixel level in the ROI, and calculates a variance of the Laplacian. Images having an ROI below a predetermined variance threshold are classified or flagged as a low-quality image. Once a low-quality image is flagged, the camera settings can be readjusted in a feedback loop to compensate for the loss in quality of the captured image. This method may be stored as a software routine and implemented by a vision control module of the vision system.
