A vehicular camera monitoring system includes a pair of rearward viewing cameras disposed at a vehicle with overlapping fields of view. A driver-monitoring camera is disposed at the vehicle. An ECU includes an image processor that processes image data captured by the driver-monitor camera and the rearward viewing cameras. A stereographic video display screen is disposed at the vehicle and viewable by the driver of the vehicle. Responsive to processing of image data captured by the driver-monitoring camera, the ECU determines location of each eye of the driver of the vehicle. Responsive to processing of image data captured by each of the rearward viewing cameras, the stereographic video display screen displays video images derived at least in part from image data captured by both rearward viewing cameras and provides depth perception to the driver of the vehicle viewing the displayed video images.

The disclosure provides a video transmission method for virtual reality. The method includes reorganizing a first video and a second video obtained to generate a third video suitable for transmission through a physical wire, hence avoiding distortion caused by compression of a high-definition video. The disclosure further includes a video processing device and a video generating system employing the video transmission method.

The present disclosure discloses a method and a device for converting two-dimensional (2D) images into three-dimensional (3D) images and a 3D imaging system, wherein the method comprises the following steps: acquiring 2D image to be processed; performing perspective transformation on the 2D image to obtain a left-eye image and a right-eye image respectively; adjusting a distance between the left-eye image and the right-eye image according to the result of perspective transformation; and synthesizing the left-eye image and the right-eye image after the distance adjustment. In embodiments of the present disclosure, binocular parallax images are created by performing perspective transformation on the 2D image to be processed; the distance between the left-eye image and the right-eye image after perspective transformation is adjusted to form binocular parallax and create a convergence angle, so that the images observed by naked eyes are located at different depths, thus different stereoscopic effects may be seen. The image transformation is performed on the 2D image without involving the resolution and definition of the image, so that the image quality of the 3D imaged image is the same as that of the original 2D image and the 3D imaging effect is not affected.

The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementation of determining depth information in autonomous driving. Stereo images are first obtained from multiple stereo pairs selected from at least two stereo pairs. The at least two stereo pairs have stereo cameras installed with the same baseline and in the same vertical plane. Left images from the multiple stereo pairs are fused to generate a fused left image and right images from the multiple stereo pairs are fused to generate a fused right image. Disparity is then estimated based on the fused left and right images and depth information can be computed based on the stereo images and the disparity.

A distance measuring device for measuring the distance to an object is provided, including a light-emitting module, a driving assembly disposed in the light-emitting module, and a light-receiving module. The light-emitting module has a housing, a light source disposed in the housing, a light grating element, and an optical path adjuster. The light source emits a measuring light through the optical path adjuster and the light grating element. The driving assembly can drive the optical path adjuster or the light grating element to move relative to the housing. The light-receiving module receives the measuring light which is reflected by the object to obtain distance information of the object.
