Abstract
A vehicular camera apparatus includes an image sensor, and a processor configured to divide an image acquired through the image sensor into a first field of view (FOV) range in a first direction and a second FOV range in the first direction, to process a first region corresponding to the first FOV range in the image, to process a second region corresponding to the second FOV range in the image, and to separately process the first region and the second region.
Claims20
A vehicular camera apparatus comprising:
- an image sensor;
- and
- a processor configured to divide an image acquired through the image sensor into a first field of view (FOV) range in a first direction and a second FOV range in the first direction, to process a first region corresponding to the first FOV range in the image, to process a second region corresponding to the second FOV range in the image, and to separately process the first region and the second region,
- wherein the image sensor includes:
- a first pixel group corresponding to the first region and having a first pixel density, and
- a second pixel group corresponding to the second region and having a second pixel density that is less than the first pixel density and that decreases in a direction away from a center of the image sensor along the first direction, and
- wherein each of the first pixel group and the second pixel group has a pixel density that is constant in a second direction different from the first direction.

A vehicular stereo camera apparatus comprising:
- a first camera;
- and
- a second camera,
- wherein the first camera includes:
- a first image sensor, and
- a processor configured to divide a first image acquired through the first image sensor into a first field of view (FOV) range in a first direction and a second FOV range in the first direction, to process a first region corresponding to the first FOV range in the first image, to process a second region corresponding to the second FOV range in the first image, and to separately process the first region and the second region,
- wherein the first image sensor includes:
- a first pixel group corresponding to the first region and having a first pixel density, and
- a second pixel group corresponding to the second region and having a second pixel density that is less than the first pixel density and that decreases in a direction away from a center of the first image sensor along the first direction, and
- wherein each of the first pixel group and the second pixel group has a pixel density that is constant in a second direction different from the first direction.
