Patent number: 10122933Abstract: Optical radiation from an area surrounding a vehicle is detected by a sensor in order to record an image sequence of the surrounding area. The sensor may be exposed continuously to the radiation which is incident on it while the image sequence is being recorded in order to detect a light pulse of an indefinitely short time duration.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2011Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: VOLKSWAGEN AGInventors: Georg Lambert, Reiner Katzwinkel

Patent number: 9807352Abstract: A method for assisting a reverse parking maneuver of a motor vehicle equipped with a rear-view camera system into a longitudinal parking space, wherein the image of the surroundings to the rear of the motor vehicle is displayed on a display of the motor vehicle. For the determination of the parking position on both sides of the vehicle, two 3D symbols, in particular 3D cuboids, are respectively blended into the image of the rear-view camera system, wherein the distance between two 3D symbols corresponds to one side of a minimum parking space for the motor vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2012Date of Patent: October 31, 2017Assignee: VOLKSWAGEN AGInventors: Georg Lambert, Gerald Eckert

Patent number: 9086473Abstract: An arrangement on a component of a motor vehicle, having a sensor with a substantially planar end surface, a sealing ring which encloses the sensor, and a carrier element for maintaining the spacing of the sensor in the axial direction relative to the component. The sensor extends with the sealing ring into a cut-out of the component. The sensor has a surrounding sealing ring, an additional ring element which lies further to the outside in a radial direction and has at least two cut-outs which are distributed over the circumference. The elastic ring element of the sealing ring or decoupling ring seals against water which enters from outside and for correct self-positioning in the cut-out of the component. The cut-outs according in the ring element, which lies on the outside, allow water which has entered to drain.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2014Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: Volkswagen AktiengesellschaftInventors: Peter Baumann, Thilo Draeger, Georg Lambert, Ralf Schmuelling

Patent number: 8295585Abstract: A method for determining the position of an object (1) in space is described, in which measurement characteristics (4) of the object (1) are recorded with an optical recording device (3) calibrated to a space coordinate system (5), and on the basis of these measurement characteristics (4), the position of the object (1) in the space coordinate system (5) is determined in an image processing device. To enable reliable ascertainment of the position even with only a few recording devices, it is provided that at least two measurement characteristics (4) of the object (1) are detected simultaneously in a recording device (3) and used to determine the position of the object (1).Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2005Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: ISRA Vision Systems AGInventors: Stephan Wienand, Georg Lambert

Patent number: 7602507Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor for measuring the surface of an object, having a contrasting unit (3) for projecting a pattern onto the surface of the object, and having a camera (4) for recording of the pattern projected onto the surface of the object, in which the contrasting unit (3) has an LED projector (5). To achieve high precision and great robustness, the camera (4) and the LED projector (5) are located in the longitudinal direction. In addition, respective deflecting mirrors (8, 11) are assigned to the camera (4) and the LED projector (5) and are located on opposite ends, in the longitudinal direction of the sensor (1), of the housing (2) of the sensor (1).Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2005Date of Patent: October 13, 2009Assignee: ISRA Vision AGInventors: Enis Ersue, Georg Lambert
