The present invention generally relates to a movable carrier auxiliary system, and more particularly to an auxiliary system that could visualize an external environment with a wide viewing angle and could identify and warn an object in the environment.
With frequent commercial activities and the rapid expansion of transportation logistics, people are more dependent on the mobile vehicle such as car or motorcycle. At the same time, drivers are paying more and more attention to the protection of their lives and property when driving, and therefore, in addition to the performance and the comfort of the mobile vehicle, it is also considered whether the mobile vehicle to be purchased provides sufficient safety guards or auxiliary devices. Under this trend, in order to increase the safety of vehicles, automobile manufacturers or vehicle equipment design manufacturers have developed various driving safety protection devices or auxiliary devices, such as rearview mirrors, driving recorders, a panoramic image instant displaying of blind vision areas, a global positioning system that records the driving path at any time, and etc.
In addition, with the rapid development of digital cameras and computer visions in daily life, the digital cameras have been applied to driving assistance systems, hoping to reduce the accident rate of traffic accidents through the application of artificial intelligence.
Take a conventional rearview mirror as an example, when a driver changes lanes or turns, most of the conventional rearview mirror is used to observe and determine the presence or absence of objects outside of the vehicle. However, most of the rearview mirrors have limitations and disadvantages in use under certain driving conditions. For example, when driving at night, the driver's pupil is in an enlarged state in the dark environment just like the shutter of the camera for providing more optical signals to the optic nerve. In such a state, the driver's eyes are extremely sensitive to sudden light. Usually, the rearview mirror reflects the front light from the overtaking or subsequent vehicles, which causes the driver to have a visual dizziness, so that the driver's visual ability will be rapidly reduced in an instant, increasing the driver's reaction time that front obstacles become visible.
Moreover, based on the structural design of the traditional car, all of the rearview mirrors have their own blind vision area in the corresponding installation position, so that the driver cannot completely obtain the actual road information outside of the car via the images shown by the rearview mirrors. In terms of safety design considerations, the conventional rearview mirror still has room for improvements.
Furthermore, when the driver wants to change lanes, turn, or reverse during driving, the driver must change the line of sight to see the left or right rear view mirror to know the road environment of the single lane. However, the viewable area provided by the left or right rear view mirror does not help the driver to know the blind vision information that the left or right rear view mirror does not display. Sometimes, the driver needs to turn the head directly to check the rear exterior conditions of the vehicle, or by watching the rearview mirror within the vehicle to completely capture the static and dynamic scene outside of the vehicle. Therefore, in the above specific actions for driving a vehicle, the driver needs to constantly change the line of sight to obtain the road condition information, and cannot pay attention to the road conditions in all directions in time, which may cause a car accident or a collision event.
Therefore, there is a need for the manufacturers to develop an image output device to display an image with a wide viewing angle integrated by both of the visible area and the blind vision area of the interior and exterior rearview mirrors to the driver, so that the driver could obtain the road information of the surrounding environment of the vehicle by a single line of sight conversion, improving the driving safety.

The lens group uses structural size design and combination of refractive powers, convex and concave surfaces of at least two optical lenses (the convex or concave surface in the disclosure denotes the geometrical shape of an image-side surface or an object-side surface of each lens on an optical axis) to reduce the size and increase the quantity of incoming light of the optical image capturing module, thereby the optical image capturing module could have a better amount of light entering therein and could improve imaging total pixels and imaging quality for image formation.

The length of the contour curve of any surface of a single lens in the range of the maximum effective radius affects the surface correction aberration and the optical path difference between the fields of view. The longer the profile curve length, the better the ability to correct the aberration, but at the same time. It will increase the difficulty in manufacturing, so it is necessary to control the length of the profile curve of any surface of a single lens within the maximum effective radius, in particular to control the profile length (ARS) and the surface within the maximum effective radius of the surface. The proportional relationship (ARS/TP) between the thicknesses (TP) of the lens on the optical axis. For example, the length of the contour curve of the maximum effective radius of the side surface of the first lens object is represented by ARS11, and the thickness of the first lens on the optical axis is TP1, and the ratio between the two is ARS11/TP1, and the maximum effective radius of the side of the first lens image side.

MTFQ0≥0.2; MTFQ3≥0.01; and MTFQ7≥0.01.
For any surface of any lens, the profile curve length within a half of the entrance pupil diameter (HEP) affects the ability of the surface to correct aberration and differences between optical paths of light in different fields of view. With longer profile curve length, the ability to correct aberration is better. However, the difficulty of manufacturing increases as well. Therefore, the profile curve length within a half of the entrance pupil diameter (HEP) of any surface of any lens has to be controlled. The ratio between the profile curve length (ARE) within a half of the entrance pupil diameter (HEP) of one surface and the thickness (TP) of the lens, which the surface belonged to, on the optical axis (i.e., ARE/TP) has to be particularly controlled. For example, the profile curve length of a half of the entrance pupil diameter (HEP) of the object-side surface of the first lens is denoted by ARE11, the thickness of the first lens on the optical axis is TP1, and the ratio between these two parameters is ARE11/TP1; the profile curve length of a half of the entrance pupil diameter (HEP) of the image-side surface of the first lens is denoted by ARE12, and the ratio between ARE12 and TP1 is ARE12/TP1. The profile curve length of a half of the entrance pupil diameter (HEP) of the object-side surface of the second lens is denoted by ARE21, the thickness of the second lens on the optical axis is TP2, and the ratio between these two parameters is ARE21/TP2; the profile curve length of a half of the entrance pupil diameter (HEP) of the image-side surface of the second lens is denoted by ARE22, and the ratio between ARE22 and TP2 is ARE22/TP2. For any surface of other lenses in the optical image capturing system, the ratio between the profile curve length of a half of the entrance pupil diameter (HEP) thereof and the thickness of the lens which the surface belonged to is denoted in the same manner.

The heterogeneous detecting module 0050 is adapted to send a signal to the surrounding environment of the movable carrier 0000 and receive a feedback signal, and transmit the feedback signal to the computing processing unit 0030, thereby to achieve the detecting performance. The computing processing unit 0030 combines the feedback signals come from the heterogeneous detecting module 0050 via the environmental images 0013, thereby to identify the object in the surrounding environment of the movable carrier 0000 and an instantaneous distance between the object and the movable carrier 0000. The computing processing unit 0030 stores at least one predetermined safe distance and compares values between the predetermined safe distance and the instantaneous distance, wherein when the instantaneous distance is smaller than the predetermined safe distance, the computing processing unit 0030 controls the warning module 0016 to generate a warning signal to display on the displaying device 0024.
The heterogeneous detecting module 0050 could be selected from an ultrasonic transmitting/receiving module, a millimeter wave radar transmitting/receiving module, a lidar transmitting/receiving module, an infrared light transmitting/receiving module, and a laser transmitting/receiving module.
The displaying device 0024 could be disposed inside, outside, or both inside and outside of the movable carrier 0000. In the current embodiment, the displaying device 0024 is a vehicle electronic rear-view mirror which includes a left side mirror and a right side mirror.
As shown in
In the current system embodiment, the optical image capturing system 0010 is disposed around an outside of the movable carrier 0000. The environmental image 0013 generated by the image capturing module 0012 contains a visible area 0023V contained by the rear-view mirrors and a blind area (blind vision) 0023D which is invisible in the conventional rear-view mirrors, thereby to display the fusion image 0023 spliced by a plurality of environmental images 0013 on the image fusion output device 0022, providing drivers with more complete road information. In the current system embodiment, the image capturing module 0012 is a wide dynamic range fisheye video camera (WDR fisheye video camera).

The movable carrier auxiliary system further includes a plurality of light emitting members (not shown) which are a left direction light and a right direction light of the movable carrier 0000 as an example, wherein the direction lights could be disposed around a headlamp or a rear brake light of the movable carrier 0000. In other embodiments, the direction lights could be disposed at any side of the movable carrier 0000. The light emitting members are electrically connected to the optical image capturing systems 0010, and an operation of the light emitting members drives the warning module 0016 of the optical image capturing system 0010 on the left portion 0001L or the right portion 0001R to operate.
More specifically, when the driver switches on one of the light emitting members (e.g. the right indicator), the optical image capturing system 0010 on the right portion 0001R is driven to operate. At this time, the road environment located on right side of the movable carrier 0000 could be detected by the operation module 0014 to detect an instant condition of the moving object 0002 according to a motion detection algorithm to generate the detecting signal and at least one tracking mark as illustrated in
The warning module 0016 receives the detecting signal and determines whether a distance between the moving object 0002 and the movable carrier 0000 has reached a warning standard preset value according to a warning logical algorithm. If the distance between the moving object 0002 and the movable carrier 0000 has reached the warning standard preset value, the warning module 0016 sends the warning signal 0016W to the warning member 0018 to issue a warning effect for the driver to respond (i.e., to remind the driver of the road condition information). When the driver wants to operate the movable carrier 0000 to reverse or change lanes, and the light emitting member is activated as the precondition, the optical image capturing system 0010 on the left portion 0001L or the right portion 0001R operates accordingly. The optical image capturing system 0010 detects the moving object 0002 according to the motion detection algorithm and the warning logical algorithm.
In addition, the way that the warning module 0016 determines according to the warning logical algorithm could be that when the moving object 0002 moves into the visible area 0023V covered by the environmental image 0013, the warning module 0016 generates and sends the warning signal 0016W to the warning member 0018, while when the moving object 0002 is located within the blind area, the warning signal 0016W would not be generated. Alternatively, when the moving object 0002 enters an area covered by the environmental image 0013 and covers more than half of the blind area, the warning module 0016 generates and sends the warning signal 0016W to the warning member 0018. Alternatively, when the moving object 0002 enters the area covered by the environmental image 0013, the warning module 0016 generates and sends the warning signal 0016W to the warning member 0018. A parameter of the warning logical algorithm set by the warning module 0016 could be determined in advance when producing the movable carrier auxiliary system 0001 of the present invention, thereby to determine a judging standard of generating the warning signal 0016W (i.e., generating the warning signal 0016W by determining when the distance between the moving object 0002 and the movable carrier 0000 is less than or equal to a certain distance).
The warning member 0018 could be at least one selected from the group of a warning light and a sounding device, wherein “at least one of the warning light and the sounding device” should be understood to mean “only the warning light, only the sounding device, or both the warning light and the sounding device.”. For instance, the warning member 0018 could be a buzzer or a light emitting diode (LED) and could be respectively disposed on the left/right side of the movable carrier 0000 (e.g. an inner or outer area near the driver seat such as a front pillar, a left/right rear-view mirror, a fascia, a front windshield), so as to operate corresponding to the detecting result of the left rear, right rear or/and rear of the movable carrier 0000.

In the current structural embodiment, the first transparent assembly 0120 includes a first incidence surface 0122 and a first exit surface 0124, wherein an incoming light image from the rear of the driver enters the first transparent assembly 0120 via the first incidence surface 0122, and is emitted via the first exit surface 0124. The second transparent assembly 0130 includes a second incidence surface 0132 and a second exit surface 0134, wherein the second incidence surface 0132 faces the first exit surface 0124, and a gap is formed between the second incidence surface 0132 and the first exit surface 0124 by an adhesive 0114. After the incoming light image being emitted via the first exit surface 0124, the incoming light image enters the second transparent assembly 0130 via the second incidence surface 0132, and is emitted via the second exit surface 0134.
An electro-optic medium layer 0140 is disposed in the gap between the first exit surface 0124 of the first transparent assembly 0120 and the second incidence surface 0132 of the second transparent assembly 0130. At least one transparent electrode 0150 is disposed between the first transparent assembly 0120 and the electro-optic medium layer 0140. The electro-optic medium layer 0140 is disposed between the first transparent assembly 0120 and at least one reflective layer 0190. A transparent conductive layer 0160 is disposed between the first transparent assembly 0120 and the electro-optic medium layer 0140. Another transparent conductive layer 0160 is disposed between the second transparent assembly 0130 and the electro-optic medium layer 0140. An electrical connector 0170 is electrically connected to the transparent conductive layer 0160, and another electrical connector 0170 is electrically connected to the transparent electrode 0150, thereby to transmit electrical energy to the electro-optic medium layer 0140 to change a transparency of the electro-optic medium layer 0140. When a brightness of the incoming light image exceeds a certain brightness (e.g. a strong headlight from the rear of the vehicle), an image sensing device which is a glare sensor 0112 as an example electrically connected to a control member 0180 receives the light energy and convert it into a signal, and the control member 0180 determines whether the brightness of the incoming light image exceeds a predetermined brightness, and if a glare is generated, the electrical energy is provided to the electro-optic medium layer 0140 by the electrical connector 0170 to generate an anti-glare performance. If the external light image is too strong, it will cause glare effect and affect the driver's eyes, thus endangering driving safety. In an embodiment, the electrical connector could include at least one of a flexible circuit board, a copper foil, and an electric wire.
In addition, the transparent electrode 0150 and the reflective layer 0190 could respectively cover entire surface of the first transparent assembly 0120 and entire surface of the second transparent assembly 0130. However, this is not a limitation of the present invention. In the current structural embodiment, a material of the transparent electrode 0150 could be selected from metal oxides such as indium tin oxide, indium zinc oxide, aluminum tin oxide, aluminum zinc oxide, indium antimony zinc oxide, other suitable oxides, or a stacked layer of at least two of the foregoing oxides. Moreover, a material of the reflective layer 0190 could be a material which is conductive and is selected from a group consisting of at least one of silver (Ag), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), molybdenum (Mo) or its alloy. However, the material of the transparent electrode 0150 and the material of the reflective layer 0190 are not a limitation of the present invention. In other embodiments, the material of the transparent electrode 0150 and the material of the reflective layer 0190 could be other types of materials.
The electro-optic medium layer 0140 could be made of an organic material or an inorganic material. However, this is not a limitation of the present invention. In the current structural embodiment, the electro-optic medium layer 0140 could be an electrochromic material. The electro-optic medium layer 0140 is disposed between the first transparent assembly 0120 and the second transparent assembly 0130 and is disposed between the first transparent assembly 0120 and the reflective layer 0190. More specifically, the transparent electrode 0150 is disposed between the first transparent assembly 0120 and the electro-optic medium layer 0140 (i.e., electrochromic material layer). In a structural embodiment, the reflective layer 0190 could be disposed between the second transparent assembly 0130 and the electro-optic medium layer 0140. In other embodiments, the electro-optic medium layer could be a polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) layer or a suspended particle device (SPD) layer. In addition, in the current structural embodiment, the vehicle electronic rear-view mirror 0100 further includes an adhesive 0114 located between the first transparent assembly 0120 and the second transparent assembly 0130 and surrounding the electro-optic medium layer 0140. The electro-optic medium layer 0140 is co-packaged by the adhesive 0114, the first transparent assembly 0120, and the second transparent assembly 0130.
In the current structural embodiment, the transparent conductive layer 0160 is disposed between the electro-optic medium layer 0140 and the reflective layer 0190. More specifically, the transparent conductive layer 0160 could be used as an anti-oxidation layer of reflective layer 0190, so that the electro-optic medium layer 0140 could be prevented from being in contact with the reflective layer 0190, thereby preventing the reflective layer 0190 being corroded by organic materials, providing the vehicle electronic rear-view mirror 0100 of the current structural embodiment a longer service life. In addition, the electro-optic medium layer 0140 is co-packaged by the adhesive 0114, the transparent electrode 0150, and the transparent conductive layer 0160. In the current structural embodiment, the transparent conductive layer 0160 contains at least one material selected from a group consisting of indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide (IZO), Al-doped ZnO (AZO), or Fluorine-doped tin oxide.
In the current structural embodiment, the vehicle electronic rear-view mirror 0100 could optionally provide with the electrical connector 0170. For instance, in an structural embodiment, a conducting wire or a conducting structural is electrically connected to the transparent electrode 0150 and the reflective layer 0190, so that the transparent electrode 0150 and the reflective layer 0190 could be electrically connected to the at least one control member 0180, which provides a driving signal, via the conducting wire or the conducting structural, thereby to drive the electro-optic medium layer 0140.
When the electro-optic medium layer 0140 is enabled, the electro-optic medium layer 0140 would undergo an electrochemical redox reaction and change its energy level to be in a diming state. When an external light passes through the opening of the casing 0110 and reaches the electro-optic medium layer 0140, the external light would be absorbed by the electro-optic medium layer 0140 which is in the diming state, so that the vehicle electronic rear-view mirror 0100 is switched to an anti-glare mode. On the other hand, when the electro-optic medium layer 0140 is disenabled, the electro-optic medium layer 0140 is transparent. At this time, the external light passing through the opening of the casing 0110 passes through the electro-optic medium layer 0140 to be reflected by the reflective layer 0190, so that the vehicle electronic rear-view mirror 0100 is switched to a mirror mode.
More specifically, the first transparent assembly 0120 has the first incidence surface 0122 which is away from the second transparent assembly 0130. For instance, an external light from the rear vehicles enters the vehicle electronic rear-view mirror 0100 via the first incidence surface 0122, and the vehicle electronic rear-view mirror 0100 reflects the external light, so that the external light leaves the vehicle electronic rear-view mirror 0100 via the first incidence surface 0122. In addition, eyes of the vehicle driver could receive the external light reflected by the vehicle electronic rear-view mirror 0100 to know the position of other vehicles behind. Moreover, the reflective layer 0190 could have the optical properties of partial penetration and partial reflection by selecting a suitable material and design a proper film thickness.

In an embodiment, the lenses of high Abbe number and the lenses of low Abbe number are arranged in an interlaced arrangement that could be helpful for correction of aberration of the optical image capturing module.
An equation of aspheric surface is
z=ch2/[1+[1(k+1)c2h2]0.5]+A4h4+A6h6+A8h8+A10h10+A12h12+A14h14+A16h16+A18h18+A20h20+ . . . (1)
where z is a depression of the aspheric surface; k is conic constant; c is reciprocal of the radius of curvature; and A4, A6, A8, A10, A12, A14, A16, A18, and A20 are high-order aspheric coefficients.
In the optical image capturing module, the lenses could be made of plastic or glass. The plastic lenses may reduce the weight and lower the cost of the optical image capturing module, and the glass lenses may control the thermal effect and enlarge the space for arrangement of the refractive power of the optical image capturing module. In addition, the opposite surfaces (object-side surface and image-side surface) of the first to the seventh lenses could be aspheric that could obtain more control parameters to reduce aberration. The number of aspheric glass lenses could be less than the conventional spherical glass lenses, which is helpful for reduction of the height of the optical image capturing module.
When the lens has a convex surface, which means that the surface is convex around a position, through which the optical axis passes, and when the lens has a concave surface, which means that the surface is concave around a position, through which the optical axis passes.
The optical image capturing module of the present invention could be applied in a dynamic focusing optical image capturing module. It is superior in the correction of aberration and high imaging quality so that it could be allied in lots of fields.
The optical image capturing module of the present invention could further include a driving module to meet different demands, wherein the driving module could be coupled with the lenses to move the lenses. The driving module could be a voice coil motor (VCM), which is used to move the lens for focusing, or could be an optical image stabilization (OIS) component, which is used to lower the possibility of having the problem of image blurring which is caused by subtle movements of the lens while shooting.
To meet different requirements, at least one lens among the first lens to the seventh lens of the optical image capturing module of the present invention could be a light filter, which filters out light of wavelength shorter than 500 nm. Such effect could be achieved by coating on at least one surface of the lens, or by using materials capable of filtering out short waves to make the lens.
To meet different requirements, the image plane of the optical image capturing module in the present invention could be either flat or curved. If the image plane is curved (e.g., a sphere with a radius of curvature), the incidence angle required for focusing light on the image plane could be decreased, which is not only helpful to shorten the length of the optical image capturing module (TTL), but also helpful to increase the relative illuminance.
We provide several optical embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings for the best understanding. In practice, the optical embodiments of the present invention could be applied to other structural embodiments.
