Abstract
In one approach, a method includes: displaying, to a user of a first vehicle, image data obtained using a first field of view of a camera of the first vehicle, where the camera collects the image data for objects located outside of the first vehicle; detecting, by at least one processing device of the first vehicle, a second vehicle; determining, by the one processing device, whether the second vehicle is within a predetermined region relative to the first vehicle; and in response to determining that the second vehicle is within the predetermined region, displaying image data obtained using a second field of view of the camera.
Claims21
A system comprising:
- a camera mounted on a first vehicle, wherein the camera is configured to collect image data, and to adjust a field of view of the camera, wherein the field of view can be adjusted to provide at least a first field of view and a second field of view, and wherein the first field of view is narrower than the second field of view;
- at least one processing device;
- and
- memory containing instructions configured to instruct the at least one processing device to:
- determine whether the first vehicle is traveling faster than a predetermined speed;
- determine whether a vehicle is present on a side of the first vehicle;
- and
- in response to determining that the first vehicle is traveling faster than the predetermined speed and determining that no vehicle is present on the side of the first vehicle, adjust the camera to the first field of view.
A system comprising:
- a camera of a first vehicle;
- and
- a processing device configured to:
- adjust a field of view of the camera based on a speed of the first vehicle, wherein the camera is mounted on a side of the first vehicle and collects image data for objects located outside of the first vehicle, wherein the camera is operable to obtain image data using a selectable first field of view or second field of view, and wherein the first field of view is narrower than the second field of view;
- determine whether a vehicle is present on the side of the first vehicle;
- and
- in response to determining that no vehicle is present on the side of the first vehicle, select the first field of view of the camera.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed on at least one processing device, cause the at least one processing device to:
- determine whether a first vehicle is traveling faster than a predetermined speed;
- determine whether a vehicle is present on a side of the first vehicle;
- and
- in response to determining that the first vehicle is traveling faster than the predetermined speed and determining that no vehicle is present on the side of the first vehicle, adjust a camera to a first field of view.
