Abstract: In a camera apparatus, a camera module has a predetermined field of view, and is configured to capture an image in front of the vehicle via a predetermined wiping area of the windshield of the vehicle. In the camera module, a lens unit includes a plurality of lenses. A barrel is configured to house the lens unit. An imager has an imaging surface, and is arranged with respect to the lens unit such that light passing through the plurality of lenses of the lens unit forms an image on the imaging surface. The imager includes at least part of an exposure controller that controls an exposure of the imaging surface. The imaging surface is concavely curved.

Abstract: A camera module, which is mounted on an inside of a front windshield of a vehicle and to image an external environment of the vehicle, includes a lens unit and an imager to image the external environment by forming an optical image, which is from the external environment through the lens unit.

Abstract: A camera module, which is mounted on an inside of a front windshield of a vehicle and configured to image an external environment of the vehicle, includes multiple lens units on which an optical image of the external environment is incident, individually, and an imaging system to generate an outside image of the external environment by imaging through each of the lens units, individually.

Abstract: A camera is module mounted on an inside of a windshield in a vehicle and is configured to photograph an outside of the vehicle. The camera module includes: a first camera for photographing the outside with a first imaging element through a first lens unit; and a second camera having a view angle narrower than the first camera and photographing the outside with a second imaging element through a second lens unit. The first imaging element and the second imaging element have a same pixel specification.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus provided with a lens module which has a main body and two vane members. The main body holds a lens on an inside thereof. The vane members are plate shaped sections projected from an outside surface of the main body, which are provided with through-holes enabling fastening members to be threaded through. A base is provided with an imaging element and configured to fix thereto the main body. The case which accommodates the lens, the lens module and the base has two thread-holes formed on an inside thereof, into which the fastening members are fastened thereto. The lens module is fixed to the case by threading the fastening members through the through-holes, and fastening the fastening members into the thread-holes.

Abstract: A camera apparatus is mounted to a vehicle. The camera apparatus includes a camera module, a casing, and a restraining portion. The camera module includes a lens and a camera board on which an image sensor is provided. The casing houses the camera module. The restraining portion is configured to mechanically restrain movement of the camera module that is mounted in a predetermined mounting position within the casing, from the mounting position. The camera module is fixed to the casing by an adhesive.

Abstract: An on-vehicle camera apparatus capturing an image in front of a vehicle includes: a camera module outputting image data and a control circuit board. The camera module includes an optical element that refracts incident light so as to diverge or focus the incident light, and an image sensor element in which incident light transmitted through the optical element forms an image. The control circuit board executes, based on the image data outputted by the camera module, a recognition process recognizing a state in front of the own vehicle, and also executes at least two vehicle control processes among a headlight control process, a forward collision preventing process and a lane departure warning process, as a result of the recognition process. According to the on-vehicle camera apparatus, a resin-made lens is used for the optical element.

Abstract: In a lens module, a tubular body includes first and second openings at respective first and second ends thereof. Lenses are disposed in the tubular body such that the lenses have a common optical axis. An elastically tubular eccentricity restriction member is coaxially disposed in the tubular body such that the outer periphery of the eccentricity restriction member is in contact with the inner periphery of the tubular body, and the inner periphery of the eccentricity restriction member surrounds the outer periphery of at least one of the lenses while inwardly biasing the outer periphery of the at least one of the lenses. The eccentricity restriction member includes a holder formed at the first end thereof. The holder is attached to one of the lenses that is closest to the first end of the eccentricity restriction member.

Abstract: In a vehicular camera, a light receiving area of a light detector is arranged to receive light incident thereto via a lens and is arranged such that a predetermined portion of the light receiving area is located along the inclination direction of the inner surface of a windshield. A housing supports the lens and stores the light detector such that the lens faces the inner surface of the windshield, and the optical axis of the lens intersects with the inner surface of the windshield at an angle selected from a predetermined angular range including a right angle. The focal length of the lens is set within a range expressed by the following equation: (V/11.43)?f?(V/2.48) where f represents the focal length, and V represents half of a length in millimeters of the predetermined portion of the light receiving area along the inclination direction of the inner surface of the windshield.
