Optical detection system with variable characteristic range via dynamic 'pixel selection' - controlled by control parameters supplied by systems and / or controlled by means of self-determined control parameters

摘要

The invention relates to an optical detection system (2), in particular for a driver assistance system for detecting the lane area / driving trajectory lying in the direction of travel, having a detection area (2.1) for capturing an environmental area, comprising an imager chip (4) having a specific maximum number of pixels ( 5), wherein a certain number of pixels (7) in a pixel region (6) of the image receiver chip (4) to be evaluated is active when the environment image is recorded, the maximum pixel number (5) of the image receiver chip (4) being greater, as the pixel number (7) of the pixel region (6) to be evaluated and wherein the detection range is variable, wherein the variation and / or orientation of the detection range (2.1) on the preceding driving trajectory by changing the evaluated pixel range (6) on the image receiver chip (4 ), where a) control parameters supplied for this purpose serve as input parameters, which are used by others in the Originate vehicle systems and / or are provided by means of these systems, and / orb) serve this purpose own control parameters as input parameters, which originate from the optical detection system (2) and / or provided by the optical detection system (2).
