Publication number: 20230256905Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes a rearward-viewing camera disposed at a vehicle and viewing at least rearward of the vehicle. The rearward-viewing camera connects with a control via a cable. The cable carries control data from the control to the rearward-viewing camera and carries image data captured by the rearward-viewing camera from the rearward-viewing camera to the control. The control generates an output provided to a video display device of the vehicle. The video display device includes a video display screen viewable by a driver of the vehicle. During a reversing maneuver of the vehicle, the video display screen displays video images of an area rearward the vehicle derived from image data captured by the rearward-viewing camera and carried to the control by the cable. Image data captured by the rearward-viewing camera is processed at an image processor to detect an object present rearward of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2023Publication date: August 17, 2023Inventors: Joern Ihlenburg, Andreas Koppe, Achim Gieseke, Hossam Mahmoud, Horst D.

Patent number: 11142123Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes forward viewing camera and a rear camera each having a respective field of view exterior of the vehicle. Each of the cameras has an LVDS chip and connects with a control via a respective mono coaxial cable. Each mono coaxial cable carries via LVDS image data captured by the respective camera. Image data captured by the forward viewing camera and carried to the control by the respective mono coaxial cable is processed at the control for object detection. The control generates an output provided to a video display device of the vehicle, the video display device having a video display screen viewable by a driver of the vehicle. The video display screen displays video images of an area rearward of the vehicle derived from image data captured by the rear camera and carried to the control by the respective mono coaxial cable.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2020Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: MAGNA ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Joern Ihlenburg, Andreas Koppe, Achim Gieseke, Hossam Mahmoud, Horst D.

Patent number: 11012668Abstract: A vehicular security system includes an alert device disposed in a vehicle equipped with the vehicular security system. Responsive to detection of a vehicle security threat, the alert device transmits a signal to a receiver remote from the vehicle. A jammer detector is disposed at the vehicle and operable to determine jamming of the signal transmitted by the alert device. Responsive to determination by the jammer detector of jamming of transmission of the signal transmitted by the alert device, the vehicular security system at least temporarily disables at least one vehicle access function to reduce likelihood of a break in of the vehicle while the signal transmitted by the alert device is being jammed.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2019Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: MAGNA ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Hossam Mahmoud, Christian Traub, Arno Krapf

Patent number: 10640040Abstract: A vehicular vision system includes front, rear, driver-side camera and passenger-side cameras each having a respective field of view exterior of the vehicle. Each of the cameras connects with a central video/image processor via a respective mono coaxial cable. Image data captured by the imaging sensor of each camera is carried as captured to the central video/image processor via said the respective mono coaxial cable as a Low Voltage Differential Signal (LVDS). The central video/image processor generates an output provided to a video display device of the vehicle, with the video display device having a video display screen viewable by a driver of the vehicle. The video display screen is operable to display a birds-eye view of an area around the vehicle. The birds-eye view of the area around the vehicle is derived, at least in part, from image data captured by the imaging sensors of the cameras.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2018Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: MAGNA ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Joern Ihlenburg, Andreas Koppe, Achim Gieseke, Hossam Mahmoud, Horst D.

Patent number: 10523904Abstract: A vision system for a vehicle includes at least one camera having a field of view exterior the vehicle. An image processor is operable to process image data captured by the camera. When the vehicle is parked, a control controls the camera to capture frames of image data at a first capture rate. The control compares a frame of captured imaged data to at least one previous frame of captured image data. Responsive to the comparison determining a change in the frames of captured image data beyond a threshold degree of change, (i) the control increases the capture rate to a second capture rate, (ii) the at least one camera captures frames of image data at the second capture rate and (iii) the control activates a recording device to record images captured by the camera at the second capture rate.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2019Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: MAGNA ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Hossam Mahmoud, Christian Traub, Arno Krapf

Patent number: 10071687Abstract: A vision system for a vehicle includes multiple cameras disposed at a vehicle each having a field of view exterior of the vehicle. A display device is operable to display, for viewing by a driver of the vehicle, at least one of (a) video images captured by at least some of the cameras and (b) a composite image formed from image data captured by at least some of the cameras. The image data captured by at least some of the cameras is sent to a central video/image processor and the sent image data is substantially unmodified and is as captured by the respective ones of the camera or cameras. At least one of the cameras may have a tunable lens. The camera may provide almost raw image data to the display device and a graphic engine may run as a routine at the display device.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2012Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: MAGNA ELECTRONICS INC.Inventors: Joern Ihlenburg, Andreas Koppe, Achim Gieseke, Hossam Mahmoud, Horst D.
