Abstract

See full text

A camera system and method for controlling same, including capturing images of surroundings of a vehicle for a driver assistance system thereof. The camera system includes a first rolling shutter camera having a first aperture angle, a second rolling shutter camera having a second aperture angle, and control electronics. The first and second cameras are suitable for generating wide-angle and tele camera images, respectively. The first aperture angle is greater than the second aperture angle. The two cameras are designed such that both camera images have an overlap region. The control electronics synchronizes the two cameras. The geometric arrangement of the two cameras with respect to one another, and the position of the overlap region in the wide-angle image and in the tele camera image, are determined by continuous estimation. The stored geometric arrangement and position are taken into consideration during synchronization of the first and second cameras.
