An image processing method comprises: performing a spectral analysis of a HDR image () to determine whether the HDR image () comprises spectral components indicative of a lighting of the scene by a modulated light source; analysing meta-data associated with a set of component images () for the HDR image to determine a difference between meta-data for one component image of the set and meta-data for at least one other component image of the set, any difference being indicative of an artefact caused by illumination of the scene by a modulated light source; combining a result of the spectral analysis and the meta-data analysis to provide an indication that illumination of the scene by a modulated light source is causing a visible artefact in at least one of the HDR images; and changing a HDR operating mode of the image processing system () accordingly.

Image processing method for producing a high dynamic range image of a scene

The invention relates to a method for providing image data () from a camera system () for a motor vehicle (), wherein the camera system () includes at least one camera, in particular a plenoptic camera (), including a lens () and a sensor array (), in which electromagnetic radiation () is captured by means of the sensor array () and image data () of an environmental region () of the motor vehicle () is provided based on the captured electromagnetic radiation () and the image data () is evaluated by means of an evaluation device (), wherein a direction of incidence of the electromagnetic radiation () on the sensor array () is determined by the evaluation device () based on the image data () provided by the sensor array () and the image data () is adapted by means of the evaluation device () depending on the determined direction of incidence.

Method for providing image data from a camera system, camera system and motor vehicle

A communication assembly may include a first antenna. The communication assembly may further include a housing that houses the first antenna and an electronics enclosure. The housing may include a bottom that may be disposed on a fuselage of a vehicle. The electronics enclosure may include a radio frequency module and a camera module. The electronics enclosure may transmit heat to the fuselage of the vehicle by the bottom of the housing.

Sharkfin rf and camera integration

The invention relates to a method for operating a camera assembly, in which a first camera and a second camera capture images (). Respective fields of view of the two cameras overlap at least in a partial region (). At least in an image () captured by the first camera, at least one contamination region () including a plurality of pixels is detected within the partial region (). Thereupon, data values specifying the respective transparency of the pixels in the at least one contamination region () are varied with respect to respective reference values of transparency, wherein those reference values increase in the partial region () towards an edge () of the respective images upon superimposition of the images. Furthermore, the invention relates to a camera assembly.

Method for operating a camera assembly, camera assembly and driver assistance system

A method for operating a camera system of a motor vehicle, in which images of an environmental region of the motor vehicle are captured by means of an image sensor of the camera system via an optic device and an image correction function is activated by means of a control unit of the camera system, in which a light fall-off in a boundary region of the images caused by the optic device is compensated for, wherein a current brightness level of the environmental region is captured by means of the control unit and the activation and deactivation of the image correction function are effected depending on the current brightness level.

Method for activating and deactivating an image correction function, camera system and motor vehicle

The invention relates to a method for presenting safety information on a display device () of a motor vehicle (), wherein the motor vehicle () includes an environment imaging device (), by which an object () in an environmental region () of the motor vehicle () is pictorially captured, wherein a distortion demonstration () is presented on the display device () as safety information, which describes a deviation of a distorted mapping () of the object () causally generated by the environment imaging device () to an undistorted mapping () of the object () compared thereto, wherein at least one distorted mapping () is displayed as an image () and at least one undistorted mapping () is displayed as a further image () on the display device ().

The invention relates to a method for operating a camera assembly, in which a first camera and a second camera capture images (). Respective fields of view of the two cameras overlap at least in a partial region (). At least in an image () captured by the first camera, at least one contamination region () including a plurality of pixels is detected within the partial region (). Thereupon, data values specifying the respective transparency of the pixels in the at least one contamination region () are varied with respect to respective reference values of the transparency, wherein these reference values increase in the partial region () towards an edge () of the respective image upon superimposition of the images. Furthermore, the invention relates to a camera assembly.

The invention relates to a method for operating a camera () of a motor vehicle (), wherein a cover () is moved between an operating position, in which the camera () provides images of an environmental region () of the motor vehicle (), and a covering position, in which the cover () covers the camera () against the environmental region (). The current brightness level of a scene of the camera () is acquired by means of the camera (); in the operating position of the cover (), at least one operating parameter of the camera () is adjusted depending on the current brightness level of the scene; a movement operation of the cover () from the operating position into the covering position is acquired by the camera (); and after acquiring the movement operation, the at least one operating parameter is adjusted to a value independent of the current brightness level of the scene acquired by the camera (), in particular whilst maintaining an activated operating state of the camera ().
