MULTI-LENS CAMERA SYSTEM, VEHICLE MOUNTING THE MULTI-LENS CAMERA SYSTEM, AND RANGE-FINDING METHOD EXECUTED BY THE MULTI-LENS CAMERA SYSTEM

摘要

A multi-lens camera system includes multiple camera units including respective optical filters and image sensors that acquire a captured image via the optical filter, each of the optical filters having multiple filter regions whose optical characteristics differ respectively, and an image processor, operably connected to the multiple camera unit, to execute different types of image processing on the captured image to form an image that contains multiple image regions whose characteristics differ depending on the optical characteristics of the filter region in which they are acquired.
