A view system for a vehicle () with a tractor () and a trailer (). The view system has a capture unit () with an image sensor () for capturing image data of an area of view, around the vehicle, a processing unit () for processing the image data, and a reproduction unit () for reproducing at least one first image section () and one second image section () of the area of view () captured by the capture unit (). The processing unit provides different resolutions of image data depending on the position of the tractor with respect to the trailer.

View system for capturing a vehicle environment

An indirect viewing system for a vehicle has at least one image capture device () having an image sensor () for continuously taking images at a first frame rate, an image memory () that temporarily stores images for processing that is temporally after the images are captured, and an image processing device () adapted to continuously compute at least one new image from at least two successively taken images, the computed new images having a second frame rate different from the first frame rate, and an image output device () for outputting the continuously computed new images at the second frame rate.

Indirect viewing system and method for adjusting a frame rate

For a vehicle () with a tractor () and a trailer (), a view system has a capture unit () with an image sensor () for capturing image data of an area of view, around the vehicle, a processing unit () for processing the image data, and a reproduction unit () for reproducing at least one first image section () and one second image section () of the area of view () captured by the capture unit (). The processing unit provides different resolutions of image data depending on the position of the tractor with respect to the trailer.

A camera system for a vehicle comprising a capturing unit which comprises an optical element and image sensor with surface, to capture a section of a vehicle environment. The optical element has a distortion curve r=f(&#x3b1;), wherein r is the distance between an object point displayed on the image sensor surface and the intersection point of the optical axis with the image sensor surface, and &#x3b1; is the angle between the optical axis of the optical element and the beam incident on the optical element from the object point. The distortion curve r=f(&#x3b1;) has, for r=f (&#x3b1;) within 0&#x3c;r&#x3c;r, a turning point &#x3b1;; r, for which r&#x2033;=f&#x2033;(&#x3b1;)=dr/d&#x3b1;(&#x3b1;)=0 applies, wherein ris the distance r=f(&#x3b1;) on the image sensor surface from the optical axis to the most distant edge of the image sensor.

Camera system for a vehicle, mirror replacement system comprising such camera system, and driver assistance system comprising such system

An indicator unit for a system for indirect vision of a vehicle. A unit has a functional unit housing having at least one electronic carrier accommodated therein. The at least one electronic carrier has at least one first electric or electronic functional component for providing the function of a direction indicator, and a second electric or electronic functional component.
