Surrounding Traffic Detection Using Telescopic Camera System

摘要

The present invention provides a telescopic camera system 200 and 300 on the top (or bottom) of the vehicle to view hidden objects in the front or on the side. The system includes a camera 2, a cover 1, a stepper motor 3 and a telescopic rod 4. The camera 2 sits on the stepper motor 3, which enables 360 degrees of rotation for a broader observation range. The cover 1 protects the camera from rain and snow and has the same color as the vehicle. The system is activated and elevated from the roof/bottom of the vehicle using the telescopic rod 4 when the vehicle approaches an intersection or in a residential area by reading information from GPS or by a driver or driving system request. The Information from camera 2 can be displayed on the central screen inside the vehicle.
