A vehicular driver monitoring system includes a camera disposed at an interior rearview mirror assembly of a vehicle equipped with the vehicular driver monitoring system, an electronic control unit (ECU) with an image processor for processing image data captured by the camera. The camera includes an imaging array sensor and a lens and the camera is adjustable by at least one of (i) adjusting a position of the imaging array sensor relative to the lens and (ii) adjusting a position of the lens relative to the imaging array sensor. The system, responsive to processing at the ECU of image data captured by the camera, monitors a body portion of a driver of the vehicle and adjusts the camera to adjust the position of where the monitored body portion of the driver is imaged at the imaging array sensor.

An imaging device includes an imaging element, and an image capturing optical system configured to generate an image of an object on the imaging element. The image capturing optical system has a gradient decreasing region in which a change of a gradient of an image magnification rate with respect to an angle of view of the image generated on the imaging element decreases as a concerned position deviates farther away from an optical axis of the image capturing optical system, and a gradient increasing region in which the change of the gradient of the image magnification rate with respect to the angle of view of the image generated on the imaging element increases as the concerned position deviates farther away from the optical axis of the image capturing optical system.

Voice coil motor (VCM) actuators for rotating an optical path folding element (OPFE) over an extended scanning range relative to a scanning/rotation range needed for optical image stabilization (OIS).

A sensor device includes a multi-part retainable shell, including an exterior outward facing wall and an interior wall shaped in accordance with a mounting element about which the shell is to be secured. The apparatus includes one or more processors provided to the hollow interior and one or more heat sinks provided on the outer wall, capable of carrying heat away from the hollow interior. The apparatus also includes a plurality of sensors provided to the outer wall to create a sensor field-of-view in a direction facing outward from the outer wall, the sensors each in communication with a processor. The parts of the shell are securable to each other in a manner that causes friction inducing material provided to the inner wall to substantially contact a mounting pole with sufficient force to prevent vertical slippage of the apparatus when the parts are secured to each other.

An imaging apparatus includes an image sensor, a filter array disposed on an optical path from a target object to the image sensor and including two-dimensionally-arranged optical filters, and a processing circuit that generates at least four pieces of spectral image data based on an image acquired by the image sensor. The optical filters include various types of optical filters with different spectral transmittance. Each of the at least four pieces of spectral image data indicates an image corresponding to one of at least four wavelength bands. The filter array includes at least one characteristic section. The processing circuit detects a relative position between the filter array and the image sensor based on the at least one characteristic section in the image acquired by the image sensor, and compensates for deviation between the relative position and a preliminarily-set relative position when the processing circuit detects the deviation.

A vehicular vision system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and having an exterior field of view. The camera includes a wide angle lens providing the field of view and the camera captures an image data set representative of the field of view of the camera. During a driving maneuver of the vehicle, an image processor processes a sub-set of the image data set to determine presence of an object in a sub-portion of the field of view of the camera. The sub-set of the image data set that is processed at the image processor is representative of the sub-portion of the field of view of the camera that is less than the field of view of the camera. The sub-set of the image data set that is processed at the image processor is based on steering direction of the vehicle during the driving maneuver of the vehicle.

Embodiments include providing a computer vision video stream and a human vision video stream using a single camera. The camera can comprise a single, high-resolution senor and a wide-angle lens providing high resolution video having a wide aspect ratio field of view. The streams can be generated, wherein the computer vision video stream maintains the wide aspect ratio field of view and the human vision video stream comprises high resolution video. The computer vision video stream can be provided to a computer vision system, wherein the computer vision system uses the computer vision video stream as input for an automated process, and the human vision video stream can be provided to a system that displays the human vision video stream to a user.

The present invention refers to a surround-view imaging system for time-of-flight (TOF) depth sensing applications and a time-of-flight sensing based collision avoidance system comprising such an imaging system. The imaging system for time-of-flight depth sensing applications comprises a lens system, adapted for imaging angles of view (AOV) larger than 120° in an image on an image plane; a sensor system, adapted to convert at least a part the image in the image plane into an electronic image signal; and an evaluation electronics, adapted to analyze the electronic image signal and to output resulting environmental information; wherein the lens system and/or the sensor system are designed for specifically imaging fields of view (FOV) starting at zenithal angles larger than 60°.
