A camera module shoots a satisfactory image by suppressing the adherence of water droplets to a part in a light transmitting cover through which imaging light is transmitted. Provided are an outer casing (4) comprising a housing (2) having an opening and a light transmitting cover (3) for closing the opening; and a camera module (31) arranged inside the outer casing. A part of the light transmitting cover is provided as a transmission window (23a) through which imaging light incident on the camera module is transmitted and a restriction part (27) for restricting the inflow of water droplets toward the transmission window is provided to the light transmitting cover.

A vehicle computer includes a memory and a processor programmed to execute instructions stored in the memory. The instructions include comparing a captured image of a predetermined object to a target image of the predetermined object to quantify a first noise characteristic of the captured image, comparing the first noise characteristic to a first predetermined threshold, and detecting debris on an image sensor that outputs the captured image as a result of comparing the first noise characteristic to the first predetermined threshold.

System for wiping a vehicle window, the said window being equipped with a sensor, comprising a first wiper (15) which can wipe a first area of the window, including a portion (8, 8) which extends at the level of the said sensor, a second wiper (13) which can wipe a second area of the window, different from the said first area, means for activation of the said first and second wipers for the purpose of their displacement on the window, and electronic means for control of the said means for activation, characterized in that the said means for activation comprise a first motor for activation of the said first wiper, and a second motor for activation of the said second wiper, and in that the said control means are configured to activate only the said first motor when cleaning of the said portion is required.

A vehicular camera module includes a housing assembly that includes an inner housing element that accommodates a transparent cover element and that is pivotable relative to an outer housing element that mounts at a vehicle. A camera is accommodated by the housing assembly and mounted to the outer housing element. The camera views exterior of the vehicle via the cover element. An outer surface of the cover element is exposed exterior of the vehicle and, when the inner housing element and the cover element pivot relative to the outer housing element, a wiper of the outer housing element engages the outer surface of the cover element to remove moisture and/or debris from the outer surface of the cover element.

Rain sensor system, vehicle and method for detecting rain

A rain sensor system (1) for detecting rain on a window (101) of a vehicle (100), comprising: a camera device (2) configured to capture images (14) of an area surrounding the vehicle (100) which is located in a field of view (103) of the camera device (2); and multiple rain sensors (5) which are arranged on the window (101) and at least partially in the field of view (103) of the camera device (2), each rain sensor (5) comprising: a light guide (7) which is configured to guide light from a light source (6) to a 10 light injection point (8) at which the light is injected into the window (101), and a receiver (9) configured to receive the light injected into the window (101) and guided to the receiver (9) through the window (101), and to guide the received light to the camera device (2).

A display device, particularly for an exterior mirror of a motor vehicle, comprising a display means that comprises a lighting means, characterized in that the display device comprises a moisture detection apparatus comprising a sensor device, the moisture detection apparatus being designed to at least partially detect light emitted by the display means and light reflected by moisture.

Provided is a heater control device including a camera sensor configured to capture an image of an outside of a vehicle through an image capturing transparent region of a window glass, a camera heater configured to heat the image capturing transparent region, and a glass heater configured to heat a specific region being a stop position region of a wiper blade. The heater control device executes heating control of energizing the glass heater to heat the specific region during a period from an operation start time of an operation switch to an operation end time of the operation switch at the earliest. The heater control device executes deicing control of energizing the camera heater in order to deice the image capturing transparent region when a deicing execution condition, which is satisfied during a period from the operation start time to the operation end time at the earliest, is satisfied.

A vehicular cleaner system (1) for cleaning a to-be-cleaned object (100), wherein: the vehicular cleaner system (1) is provided with a tank (11) that accommodates a cleaning liquid, a pump (12) that pressure-feeds the cleaning liquid inside the tank (11), a high-pressure-air generation unit (2) that generates high-pressure air, a first ejection port that sprays the cleaning liquid toward a cleaning surface of the to-be-cleaned object (100), a second ejection port that sprays the high-pressure air toward the cleaning surface, and a controller (4) and vehicle ECU (40) that control the spraying of the cleaning liquid and the spraying of the high-pressure air; and the controller (4) and the vehicle ECU (40) perform control so as to initiate the spraying of the high-pressure air from the second ejection port after spraying of the cleaning liquid from the first ejection port has been initiated.
