Provided is a connector module providing superior shielding performance with small number of components. The connector module includes a terminal module having a center conductor, a tubular insulator holder supporting the center conductor and a tubular conductive shell, and a shield case. A bottom portion of the shield case includes a protruding portion bent from an edge of an opening portion through which the terminal module extends and protruding in a cylindrical form. The terminal module is joined to the shield case with an outer circumferential face of the conductive shell and an inner circumferential face of the protruding portion being placed in face contact with each other.

Digital mirror systems for vehicles and methods of operating the same are disclosed. An example vehicle control system includes: a driver monitoring system including a head position determiner to determine at least one of a location of a head, an orientation of the head, or an eye gaze point of the head; a digital mirror system including a region-of-interest (ROI) detector to identify an ROI based on the at least one of the location of the head, the orientation of the head, or the eye gaze point of the head, and a cropper to extract a portion of a first image corresponding to the ROI to form a second image, the first image representing an area exterior to the vehicle; and a display within an interior area of the vehicle to present the second image.

The present invention relates to the field of onboard circuit technologies, and provides an onboard vehicle-powered wireless rearview AHD transmission apparatus. A wireless receive end of a transmission processing apparatus is wirelessly connected to a signal transmit end of an AHD camera, and the transmission processing apparatus receives and processes a rearview image signal to generate an AHD video signal for output. As such, stable signal transmission is implemented without installing inside a vehicle a data cable that runs through the vehicle or modifying the inside of the vehicle, thereby reducing a cost and facilitating installation.

An electronic mirror system includes: a camera for capturing images of surroundings of a vehicle; a display unit for displaying an image captured by the camera; a switch unit including an adjustment switch and a multi-function switch; and a control unit for performing a process according to a signal from the switch unit. When the multi-function switch is operated, the control unit executes a process selected from a plurality of set processes according to a state of the vehicle; and in a case where the executed process is a transition to a mode for changing setting information of the system, and when the adjustment switch is operated after the transition, the control unit changes the setting information according to a signal from the adjustment switch.

A rear view camera assembly includes an actuator that is mounted to a bottom side of a vehicle. The actuator is actuatable into an extended condition or a retracted condition. A camera is coupled to the actuator and the camera has a pair of lenses. Each of the lenses is partially angled toward a respective right side and left side of the vehicle to capture imagery within 180.0 degrees of the rear end of the vehicle. A display is disposed in the vehicle such that the display is visible to the driver. The display displays video footage of the imagery captured by each of the lenses on the camera to facilitate a driver of the vehicle to see objects approaching from either the right side or the left side when the driver is backing the vehicle.

An imaging apparatus installed in a vehicle includes a power source section that is supplied with electric power from an electrical storage device of the vehicle, and a power supplying section that is supplied with the electric power from the power source section and supplies the electric power to an external device, which is an electronic device located outside the imaging apparatus.

In a vehicle-mounted image recognition apparatus, a resolution of an image projected on an imaging plane of an image sensor is different at a position away from a center between a circumferential direction and a radial direction. To make a circumferential resolution higher than a radial resolution, at least a lower half of the imaging plane is located closer to a circumferential focus than a middle of a radial focus and the circumferential focus at a position off the optical axis center of the image projected on the image sensor through the image-forming optical system. This is achieved by adjusting the position of the imaging plane when manufacturing or by selecting a lens with high circumferential resolution. This apparatus improves recognition accuracy in recognizing traffic lanes without using an expensive lens exhibiting high resolution both in the circumferential direction and in the radial direction.

An articulated stand including a first part and a second part. The first part is configured for holding an electronic device. The first part includes a ball pivot with a chamber and a connector. The chamber defined through the ball pivot. The connector accommodated at least partially in the chamber. The connector configured to electrically connect with a cable connector. The second part including a ball housing portion receiving the ball pivot to form a ball joint.

An inductively powered camera device including a housing including a base portion configured to be mounted to an exterior surface of a window of a vehicle, a camera supported by the housing and configured to collect image data, an inductive power pad supported by the housing, the inductive power pad in electrical communication with the camera and configured to provide power to the camera, and an inductive power puck configured to be mounted to an interior surface of the window, the inductive power puck configured to inductively provide power to the inductive power pad through the window of the vehicle.

A camera module for a vision system for a vehicle includes a housing, a lens holder and a rear cover. The housing houses a printed circuit board having an imager disposed thereat. The lens holder is attached at a front portion of the housing so that a lens assembly is optically aligned with the imager. The rear cover attaches at an opening at a rear portion of the housing and includes a connecting element for electrically connecting to circuitry at the printed circuit board when the rear cover is attached at the opening at the rear portion of the housing. An outer portion of the connecting element is disposed in a connector portion of the rear cover so as to be electrically connectable to electrically conductive elements of a vehicle connector when the camera module is disposed at the vehicle and the vehicle connector is connected to the connector portion.
