A method for capturing and processing a digital panoramic image is disclosed. The method involves projecting a panorama onto an image sensor with a panoramic objective lens to obtain a raw image. Then, a set of N output images is created based on the raw image, where N is greater than or equal to two and each output image represents a gnomonic projection of the panorama with a given focal length. The output images have a common predetermined resolution, the focal length of the first output image has a predetermined focal length value, and the focal length of each other output image is shorter than that of the previous output image. A digital panoramic camera system comprising a panoramic objective lens, an image sensor and image processing electronics are also disclosed. The image processing electronics are adapted to perform the method according to the above description.

Method for capturing and processing a digital panoramic image

A camera system and method for controlling same, including capturing images of surroundings of a vehicle for a driver assistance system thereof. The camera system includes a first rolling shutter camera having a first aperture angle, a second rolling shutter camera having a second aperture angle, and control electronics. The first and second cameras are suitable for generating wide-angle and tele camera images, respectively. The first aperture angle is greater than the second aperture angle. The two cameras are designed such that both camera images have an overlap region. The control electronics synchronizes the two cameras. The geometric arrangement of the two cameras with respect to one another, and the position of the overlap region in the wide-angle image and in the tele camera image, are determined by continuous estimation. The stored geometric arrangement and position are taken into consideration during synchronization of the first and second cameras.

Synchronized camera system having two different cameras

The invention relates to an assembly for calibrating a camera () to be calibrated, said assembly comprising:

Assembly and measurement of an assembly for calibrating a camera

A stereo camera system for a driver assistance system includes a first camera having a first aperture angle and a second camera having a second aperture angle, wherein the first camera produces a wide-angle camera image, the second camera produces a telephoto camera image, and the two camera images have an area of overlap. The first camera is a rolling shutter camera and the second camera is a global shutter camera. The two cameras' shutters are synchronized with one another in particular manners.

Camera system having different shutter modes

A device for calibrating a camera system of a vehicle is configured to calibrate the camera system during movement of the vehicle through a factory environment without specially arranged targets, by using a database including features of the factory environment and accompanying position information. The database can be updated with each calibration of a camera system. Relaying the database between such devices allows for successive improvement of the database.
