  • Publication number: 20210231839
    Abstract: A vehicle-mounted camera and a mobile body that improve the quality of a captured image are provided. The vehicle-mounted camera includes a lens arranged closest to a subject side and a housing that supports the lens. The lens is at least partially subjected to a surface treatment that changes its water-contact characteristics, or the housing has at least a shape to change its water-contact characteristics or is at least subjected to a surface treatment that changes the water-contact characteristics.

  • Patent number: 10118566
    Abstract: An image processing device, an image processing method, and an image display system allow a driver to obtain a sense of direction and a sense of distance with wide-angle image captured by a car-mounted camera. An image processing device (40) for superimposing predetermined information on image captured by a camera (12) that attaches to a vehicle (100) and is capable of wide-angle capturing in a travelling direction of the vehicle (100) includes a controller (14) that performs control to superimpose information upon detecting, in a state of outputting image captured by the camera (12), input indicating a predetermined position in the image, the information relating to a distance between the vehicle (100) and the position indicated in the image captured by the camera (12).

  • Patent number: 10104272
    Abstract: An optical unit (13) includes an optical system (16), a lens barrel (15), and a securing portion (21). The optical system (16) includes a plurality of optical elements (22 to 26). The lens barrel (15) has an object side opening smaller than an outermost periphery of the optical element (22) closest to an object side in the optical system (16). The lens barrel (15) has an imaging side opening equal to or larger than an outermost periphery of the optical element (26) closest to an imaging side in the optical system (16). The lens barrel (15) accommodates the optical system (16). The securing portion (21), at the imaging side opening, secures the optical system (16) inserted from the imaging side opening and accommodated in the lens barrel (15).
