Vehicular infrared night assistant driving system

摘要

A vehicular infrared night assistant driving system, comprising: a vehicle rotation followup mechanism rotatably fixed at the front portion of the vehicle, rotates an angle corresponding to a rotation of a wheel; a night vision infrared camera fixed onto the vehicle rotation followup mechanism , rotates synchronously with the rotation of the vehicle rotation followup mechanism and captures infrared images of objects ahead of the vehicle in real time; a wheel sensing mechanism fixed on the wheel, detects in real time the rotation angles of the wheel and gear position of the vehicular, outputs the information related to the rotation angles and the gear positions; an Electronic Control Unit(ECU) connected respectively with the wheel sensing mechanism and the vehicle rotation followup mechanism , generates and outputs control signals for controlling the rotation of the vehicle rotation followup mechanism based on the information output from the wheel sensing mechanism.. The present invention makes the infrared camera rotate synchronously with that of the wheel, thus eliminating the visual-field defect of the thermal imaging while the vehicular is changing its direction. Consequently, it improves security while driving at night.
