Camera means and method for performing context-dependent acquisition of a surrounding area of a vehicle

摘要

The present invention relates to camera means for capturing a surrounding area of a vehicle. The camera means includes an optics and an image capture control unit configured to capture a sequence of images of the surrounding area. The optics includes one wide-angle lens and one high-resolution imaging sensor. The optronics and the image capture control unit are configured and configured to implement the preciousness: for the images of the image sequence, respectively, the resolution is reduced by pixel binning of the entire capture region of the optronics. Creating an image (6) or capturing a sub-region (1; 2; 3; 4; 5) of the capture area of the optronics at full resolution;-the current traffic situation and / or the surrounding situation ( Depending on the current situation), create a binned image (6) with a reduced resolution of the image capture sensor (eg, about 1/4 pixel) or a non-binned sub-region (1; 2) 3; 4; 5) to capture the image, provided that the height and width of the partial area (1; 2; 3; 4; 5) are The size of the sub-region (1; 2; 3; 4; 5), the number of pixels in the image of the sub-region, the resolution of the entire optronic capture region is reduced. Is determined so as not to be larger than the number of pixels of the image (6).
