Abstract
There is provided a method according to the present disclosure is an in-vehicle camera setting method for setting an in-vehicle camera connected to an ECU of a vehicle. The in-vehicle camera setting method includes connecting the in-vehicle camera to the ECU of the vehicle; and writing individual vehicle setting information stored in the ECU into the in-vehicle camera.
Claims9
An in-vehicle camera setting method for setting an in-vehicle camera connected to an ECU of a vehicle, comprising:
- connecting the in-vehicle camera, in which initial values of individual vehicle setting information are written, to the ECU of the vehicle;
- writing, in response to a write command signal transmitted to the ECU from outside of the vehicle, individual vehicle setting information stored in the ECU into the in-vehicle camera to overwrite the initial values;
- and
- determining whether or not writing of the individual vehicle setting information into the in-vehicle camera has been completed after the writing,
- wherein,
- in the determining, in response to the individual vehicle setting information stored in the in-vehicle camera matching the individual vehicle setting information stored in the ECU, it is determined that the writing of the individual vehicle setting information to the in-vehicle camera has been completed,
- the writing is executed during a process of inspecting the vehicle,
- the connecting, the writing and the determining are performed in a factory where the vehicle is manufactured, and
- the individual vehicle setting information includes a camera constant, a camera position and a camera orientation, and is determined based on at least one of a model of the vehicle, a fixing position of the in-vehicle camera in the vehicle or a method of fixing the in-vehicle camera.
