Abstract
A method for providing panning for a camera monitor system (CMS) includes displaying image feeds from a plurality of CMS cameras on a plurality of CMS displays. The image feeds depict an environment surrounding a commercial vehicle. The method also includes providing a human-machine interface (HMI) on a touchscreen display, receiving at least one panning command through the HMI, and, based on the at least one panning command, panning the image feed on one of the plurality of CMS displays from a default view to a panned view. A camera monitor system (CMS) is also disclosed.
Claims16
A method for providing panning for a camera monitor system (CMS), comprising:
- displaying image feeds from a plurality of CMS cameras on a plurality of CMS displays, wherein the image feeds depict an environment surrounding a commercial vehicle;
- providing a human-machine interface (HMI) on a touchscreen display, the HMI including
- a first horizontal bar which controls horizontal panning on a first one of the plurality of CMS displays;
- and
- a second horizontal bar which is separate from the first horizontal bar and controls horizontal panning on a second one of the plurality of CMS displays that is different from the first one of the plurality of CMS displays;
- receiving at least one panning command through the HMI, the at least one panning command including a first panning command received through with the first horizontal bar, and a second panning command received through the second horizontal bar;
- and
- for each of the at least one panning commands received through the HMI, panning the image feed on one of the plurality of CMS displays from a default view to a panned view corresponding to the panning command.
A camera monitor system (CMS), comprising:
- a plurality of CMS cameras configured to record images of an environment surrounding a vehicle;
- a plurality of CMS displays;
- and
- a CMS electronic control unit (ECU) configured to:
- display image feeds from the plurality of CMS cameras on the plurality of CMS displays;
- provide a human-machine interface (HMI) on a touchscreen display, the HMI including:
- a first horizontal bar which controls horizontal panning on a first one of the plurality of CMS displays;
- and
- a second horizontal bar which is separate from the first horizontal bar and controls horizontal panning on a second one of the plurality of CMS displays that is different from the first one of the plurality of CMS displays;
- receive at least one panning command through the HMI, the at least one panning command including a first panning command received through with the first horizontal bar, and a second panning command received through the second horizontal bar;
- and
- for each of the at least one panning commands received through the HMI, pan the image feed on one of the plurality of CMS displays from a default view to a panned view corresponding to the panning command.
