Abstract: A view system for a vehicle (1) with a tractor (2) and a trailer (3). The view system has a capture unit (10) with an image sensor (12) for capturing image data of an area of view, around the vehicle, a processing unit (20) for processing the image data, and a reproduction unit (30) for reproducing at least one first image section (410) and one second image section (420) of the area of view (40) captured by the capture unit (10). The processing unit provides different resolutions of image data depending on the position of the tractor with respect to the trailer.

Abstract: An indirect viewing system for a vehicle has at least one image capture device (2) having an image sensor (3) for continuously taking images at a first frame rate, an image memory (4) that temporarily stores images for processing that is temporally after the images are captured, and an image processing device (6) adapted to continuously compute at least one new image from at least two successively taken images, the computed new images having a second frame rate different from the first frame rate, and an image output device (5) for outputting the continuously computed new images at the second frame rate.

Abstract: A camera system for a vehicle comprising a capturing unit which comprises an optical element and image sensor with surface, to capture a section of a vehicle environment. The optical element has a distortion curve r=f(?), wherein r is the distance between an object point displayed on the image sensor surface and the intersection point of the optical axis with the image sensor surface, and ? is the angle between the optical axis of the optical element and the beam incident on the optical element from the object point. The distortion curve r=f(?) has, for rw=f (?w) within 0<r<rmax, a turning point ?w; rw, for which r?=f?(?w)=d2r/d?2 (?w)=0 applies, wherein rmax is the distance r=f(?max) on the image sensor surface from the optical axis to the most distant edge of the image sensor.

Abstract: A camera system for a vehicle has an image acquisition unit (2) having an image sensor (4), an optical element (3) and at least one IR-blocking filter (5) for acquiring image data of an object, a processing unit processing the image data acquired from the image acquisition unit (2) for displaying the object (7) on a display unit (9), and at least one illumination unit (10) for illuminating the object (7) with light (12) having a wavelength at least partly within the upper region (13) of sensitivity of the human eye and at least partly below the blocking limit of the IR-blocking filter (5).

Abstract: An indirect view system (100) for a vehicle is provided with at least a capture unit (10) adapted for capturing image data of at least one area of view around the vehicle, at least a control unit (20) which is adapted for processing the images captured by the capture unit, and at least one reproduction (30) which is adapted for reproducing the area of view. The view system has a first setting (1) for showing the area of view and at least a second setting (2) for showing the area of view. The first setting (1) uses predetermined image parameters, and the at least second setting (2) uses image parameters which are changed in view of the first setting (1). The first setting (1) and the at least second setting (2) are usable in an at least partial low light intensity vehicle environment.

Abstract: A monitor has a rear panel formed by injection molding plastic around a metal cooling element. The monitor includes a display panel, control electronics, a module support, and a monitor housing. The housing includes a front frame, the cooling element and a rear panel frame. The cooling element has cooling ducts formed between cooling fins. The rear housing panel frame has fin extensions that extend the fins of the cooling element into the rear housing panel frame. The display panel attaches to one side of the module support, while the control electronics attach to the other side. The front frame and the rear panel frame screw together, and the display panel and control electronics are clamped between the front frame and the rear panel frame. The monitor can be attached to a vehicle by slipping a retaining member into a T-shaped duct formed between two fins on the cooling element.
