Abstract: A system for displaying vehicle driving information may include: first and second image acquisition devices configured to capture an image of a first side on which a driver seat is located and an image of a second side which is the opposite side of the first side, respectively; first and second display devices configured to display the captured images of the first and second image acquisition devices, respectively; first and second BSD devices and configured to sense side-rear vehicle information; and a control device configured to recognize the location and vehicle distance of the side-rear vehicle by analyzing the side-rear vehicle information detected by the first and second BSD devices, determine whether to issue a BSD warning, and control BSD warning icons of the ego vehicle and the side-rear vehicle to be displayed as an OSD of the images displayed on the first and second display devices.

Abstract: A vertically foldable camera monitoring system includes a base fixedly mounted to a body of a vehicle, and a camera module coupled to the base, the camera module configured to provide a field of view at lateral and rear sides of the vehicle. The camera module includes a damper unit connected to the base and configured to be extended or retracted in length by a driving unit, a support member connected to the damper unit while supporting a camera, and a horizontal bar engaged at a first end with a guide slot provided at the support member while being disposed at a second end adjacent to the damper unit. The driving unit drives the camera module to be extended or to be rotated in an upward direction.

Abstract: A camera monitoring system includes: a housing rotatable around a coupling shaft of a base part disposed in a vehicle; a camera disposed on one end of the housing; a cam plate disposed inside the housing and fixed to the base part; a link including a first end moving along a guide part of the cam plate and a second end to rotate the camera when the housing rotates; a driving part for applying a driving force to rotate the housing; and a control part to determine a folded state of the housing by controlling the driving force applied from the driving part based on a vehicle speed, and to rotate the camera simultaneously with the housing based on the folded state of the housing so as to maintain a previously set angle of a camera view.

Abstract: An image sensor includes a storage unit configured to store at least a portion of image data, a homogeneous pixel determination unit configured to determine whether dead pixels exist in homogeneous pixels having the same color characteristic as a center pixel in a window of the image data, and an offset correction processing unit configured to calculate a difference value between the center pixel and homogeneous pixels determined as normal pixels by the homogeneous pixel determination unit, and correct a center pixel value by using the calculated difference value.

Abstract: A dead pixel compensating apparatus includes, inter alia, a pattern generation unit generating a programmable test pattern including data with respect to at least one dead pixel; a register array storing the test pattern; a dead pixel compensation unit receiving the test pattern stored in the register array and performing a dead pixel compensation algorithm to output compensation data; and a determination unit comparing the test pattern and the compensation data to determine whether or not the dead pixel compensation algorithm has an error, wherein a dead pixel compensation algorithm for compensating for a dead pixel of an image sensor in image data supplied from the image sensor is tested.

Abstract: An image sensor includes a corrector configured to receive a bayer raw data of a pixel array and output a corrected pixel value by correcting a dead pixel occurring in the pixel array, a memory configured to store the corrected pixel value updated in real-time, and a controller configured to control the real-time updating of the corrected pixel value to be stored in the memory, wherein when the corrector corrects the dead pixel in response to a clock, the corrector uses the corrected pixel value which is updated and stored in the memory in response to a previous cycle of the clock.
