Next-Generation In-Vehicle Camera System

Clarion markets a safety verification system which uses an ultra compact and lightweight high-sensitivity CCD camera to provide images of blind spots in the rear and the front side of the vehicle through an in-vehicle monitor. To further apply this system to effective vehicle parking and driving assistance, we are developing image processing and image identification technology. Clarion was the world’s first to market a perspective conversion system that converts the camera image to a bird’s-eye view image to facilitate parking, and car manufacturers have adopted it on an OEM basis.

Clarion is now developing a superimposing technology for displaying anticipated path and distance markers on the monitor image when parking a vehicle, and a white line recognition technology that would greatly enhance safe driving support.
