  • VEHICLE TEST BENCH FOR CALIBRATING AND/OR TESTING SYSTEMS OF A VEHICLE, WHICH COMPRISE AT LEAST ONE CAMERA, AND METHOD FOR CARRYING OUT THE CALIBRATING AND/OR TESTS OF SYSTEMS OF A VEHICLE, WHICH COMPRISE AT LEAST ONE CAMERA
    Publication number: 20190204184
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a vehicle test bench for calibrating and/or testing systems of a vehicle which comprise at least one camera. The vehicle test bench has a target position for the vehicle. At least one surface that reproduces an image display and/or shows an image display is assigned to the cameras of systems to be tested. A plurality of elements that absorb stray light are provided, which elements each consist of a wall-like boundary of the vehicle test bench, which reduces penetration of light into the vehicle test bench. A plurality of wall-like boundaries results in lateral delimitation of the vehicle test bench on all sides.
