The present disclosure relates to the field of optical imaging, and in particular, to an optical system, a camera module, and a vehicle.
Currently, conventional cameras generally have a problem of small angel of field of view. Therefore, when the camera is used as an in-vehicle camera device, a vehicle still has a large blind spot of vision, and thus a driver cannot obtain enough peripheral scenes of a vehicle body, especially when the vehicle changes lanes at high speed, it is impossible to obtain information of vehicles at the side and the rear thereof in time, which is prone to potential safety hazards.
According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, an optical system, a camera module, and a vehicle are provided.
An optical system includes, successively in order from an object side to an image side:
FOV/CRA>10;
A camera module includes a photosensitive element; and the optical system as described above. The photosensitive element is arranged on the image side of the optical system.
A vehicle includes a vehicle body and the camera module as described above. The camera module is arranged on the vehicle body, and the camera module is configured to acquire environmental information around the vehicle.
Details of one or more embodiments of the present disclosure will be given in the following description and attached drawings. Other features, objects and advantages of the present disclosure will become apparent from the description, drawings, and claims.
In order to better describe and illustrate embodiments and/or examples of the contents disclosed herein, reference may be made to one or more of the accompanying drawings. Additional details or examples used to describe the drawings should not be construed as limiting the scope of any of the disclosed contents, the presently described embodiments and/or examples, and the presently understood best mode of these contents.
In order to facilitate understanding of the present disclosure, the present disclosure will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the related drawings. Preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure may be embodied in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, providing these embodiments is to provide a thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure.
It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being “fixed to” another element, it can be directly on another element or an intermediate element may also be present. When an element is referred to as being “connected to” another element, it can be directly connected to another element or an intermediate element may be present at the same time. The terms “inner”, “outer”, “left”, “right” and similar expressions used herein are for the purpose of illustration only and do not imply that it is the only embodiment.
Currently, conventional cameras generally have a problem of small angel of field of view. Therefore, when the camera is used as an in-vehicle camera device, a vehicle still has a large blind spot of vision, and thus a driver cannot obtain enough peripheral scenes of a vehicle body, especially when the vehicle changes lanes at high speed, it is impossible to obtain information of vehicles at the side and the rear thereof in time, which is prone to potential safety hazards. In addition, the same kind of camera still has the problem that the overall definition of the captured image is not high. Therefore, the present disclosure provides an optical system, a camera module, and a vehicle to address the above problems.

Referring to
In some embodiments, the lenses in the optical system 100 are relatively fixed to the photosensitive element 210, and in this case, the camera module 200 is a fixed-focus module. In other embodiments, a driving motor can further be configured to enable the photosensitive element 210 to move relative to the lenses in the optical system 100 to achieve a focusing function.
The camera module 200 can be applied to fields such as smart phones, smart watches, vehicles, surveillance, and medical, and specifically can be used as a mobile phone camera module, an in-vehicle camera module, or a surveillance camera module. When the camera module 200 is applied in a device, the device will have a large viewing angle, and the imaging definition thereof can be improved.
Referring to
Specifically, the vehicle 30 includes at least four camera modules 200. The camera modules 200 are respectively mounted on the front side (e.g., at the air-inlet grill), the left side (e.g., at the left rearview minor), the right side (e.g., at the right rearview minor), and the rear side (such as the trunk cover) of the vehicle body 310, to build a vehicle surround view system. The vehicle surround view system includes four (or more) camera modules 200 mounted on the front, rear, left, and right sides of the vehicle body 310. The plurality of camera modules 200 can simultaneously capture scenes around the vehicle 30, and then, an image processing unit performs steps of distortion restoration, viewing angle conversion, image stitching, image enhancement, and the like on the information of the images captured by the camera modules 200, and finally, a seamless 360-degrees panoramic top view around the vehicle 30 is formed and displayed on the display device. Certainly, in addition to displaying a panorama view, a single-sided view in any orientation can also be displayed. In addition, a ruler line corresponding to the displayed image can also be configured on the display device to facilitate the driver to accurately determine an orientation and a distance of an obstacle.
By adopting the above-mentioned camera module 200, the blind spot of vision of the driver can be effectively reduced, so that the driver can obtain more information on the road conditions around the vehicle body, thereby reducing the potentially safety hazards when the vehicle is changing lanes, parking, turning and performing other operations.
In some embodiments, a driving recorder is mounted in the vehicle 30, and the image information obtained by the camera module 200 can be stored in the driving recorder.
