ADJUSTABLE CAMERA MODULE AND ASSEMBLY TEST METHOD THEREFOR

An adjustable camera module and an assembly test method therefor. The assembly test method for the adjustable camera module comprises: measuring a static tilt amount between the optical lens sheet group and the photosensitive assembly by performing a defocus curve test on the adjustable camera module; analyzing a static adjusting electric quantity of each adjustment coil of an adjustment coil group according to the static tilt amount; and burning the static adjusting electric quantity required by each adjustment coil so as to reduce process requirements.

Method and Apparatus For Placement of ADAS Fixtures During Vehicle Inspection and Service
20220237821 · 2022-07-28 ·

A system and method for guiding placement of a vehicle service external fixture relative to a vehicle undergoing service or inspection. A vehicle service system support structure having at least one camera module is positioned at an initial location within a vehicle service area, and a location of the initial location within a vehicle reference frame is established from images of optical targets secured to the vehicle. The vehicle service system support structure is subsequently repositioned relative to the vehicle to a new position located outside of an external fixture placement region, while maintaining at least one of the observed optical targets within a field of view of the camera module. The new position of the vehicle service system support structure within said vehicle reference frame is determined from target images, and a placement location within the placement region for the external fixture is identified relative to the vehicle.

A camera device calibration method according to one embodiment comprises the steps of: acquiring first data including location values of a first zoom lens and location values of a first focus lens, corresponding to the location values of the first zoom lens; setting at least two location points of the first zoom lens; acquiring at least two location values, which correspond to the location values of the first focus lens corresponding to at least two location points of the first zoom lens; acquiring second data corresponding to a value between at least two location values of the first zoom lens; and setting, in a camera including the first zoom lens and the first focus lens, at least two location values of the first zoom lens and the first focus lens when a difference value, which is acquired by comparing the first data with the second data, is within a preset threshold range.

NOVEL AUTOMATED FUNCTIONAL TESTING SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME
20210379755 · 2021-12-09 · ·

An automatic robot control system and methods relating thereto are described. These systems include components such as a touch screen panel (“TSP”) robot controller for controlling a TSP robot, a camera robot controller for controlling a camera robot and an audio robot controller for controlling an audio robot. The TSP robot operates inside a TSP testing subsystem, the camera robot operates inside a camera testing subsystem, and the audio robot operates inside an audio testing subsystem. Inside the audio testing subsystem, an audio signals measurement system, using a bi-directional coupling, controls the operation of the audio robot controller. In this control scheme, a test application controller is designed to control the different types of subsystem robots. Methods relating to TSP, camera, and audio robots, and their controllers, taken individually or in combination, for automatic testing of device functionalities are also described.
